Middle of NowhereFrom the PublisherLonely Planet's Guide to the Middle of Nowhere is a celebration of travel, the pioneering spirit and the truth that our well-trodden world is still full of places untouched and untrampled - they're all around us, you just need to explore. We take you on tankers to the Antarctic, with armed rebels in Colombia, the neon madness of Vegas and on epic journeys through Africa. Spin the globe, throw away the map, head out and find your own Nowhere. "The Roof of the World" about the Wakhan Corridor, Afghanistan in The Lonely Planet Guide to the Middle of Nowhere, a semi-pictorial coffee table book, is a travel literature anthology with descriptive essays of quintessential wide open spaces and the "middle of nowhere" (Lonely Planet Publications, pp 170-173, October 2006). |
