Reviews
The editors of Transitions Abroad, a magazine for independent travelers, have compiled a directory that will appeal to adventurous, budget-minded individuals who want to see the world in ways more intimate than group or prepackaged tours can offer. The book is divided into three sections: Independent Travel (including information on ecotravel, special-interest vacations, family travel, travel for people with disabilities, and senior travel), Study (credit and noncredit learning experiences), and Work (paid and volunteer). Each section provides an overview, country by country, of the opportunities available, as well as books, periodicals, web sites, and organizations to consult for additional information. Based on the philosophy of "life-seeing travel," which is adapted from the Scandinavian School for Life concept of adult continuing education, this directory, which is now in its fourth edition, will be of enormous assistance to those who want to strike out on their own in search of authentic engagement with the local culture when traveling abroad. Highly recommended.?Pamela W. Bellows, Northwestern Connecticut Community-Technical Coll. Lib., Winstead
