      If those far-away places with strange-sounding names are still calling, settle in for a visual trip around the world as only National Geographic can present. This beautifully illustrated travel guide profiles 500 of the most incredible places on earth and lets you choose not only a destination but also a way to get there. Interested in an unforgettable rail journey? How about a gourmet vacation where you can learn culinary skills from world-class chefs? Looking for a green vacation where you leave the smallest possible carbon footprint? Along with the characteristically exquisite photographs, there is information on the best time to visit these destinations, web sites to contact, what to be certain to see when youre there, and even inside information offered by experts. Some of these places are relatively easy to visit (e.g., Californias wine country, the Indian country of New Mexico, Pennsylvanias Amish communities), while others definitely require planning and a considerable income (e.g., Antarctica, Vietnam, the Pyrenees of Andorra). To an armchair traveler, however, the door to world travel is wide open and inviting. Recommended for large public libraries.Joseph L. Carlson, Lompoc Unified Sch. Dist., CA
