Customer Reviews
I started reading this #book (Journey: An Illustrated History of Travel) in Christmas vacation and finishing now. I would say that this is a must have reference book for all ages. It is a visual treat to look at the high quality images of rare maps, manuscripts, and photos. its ~420 pages cover the 5000 years of history of travel and important marks of human civilization. I especially liked how the map of the world came into being as we know it today and life stories of the explorers and travelers.
