Global Odyssey: A bibliography of travel literature, 1940 to the present Compiled for the Center for the Study of Global Change by Dawn Childress Indiana University Bloomington 2006 PREFACE The books included in this bibliography represent the body of literature that serves, not just as a guide or roadmap to distant (or not so distant) lands and unfamiliar cultures, but records the impres- sions and experiences of the traveler as he explores a new culture different from his own. These titles offer narrative accounts of the authors’ travels, contributing unique perspectives on the many and diverse cultures throughout the world. The bibliography encompasses travel literature produced from the 1940’s through the present, cov- ering destinations around the globe. Titles are arranged geographically by continent, and where a title covers more than one geographic area, it has been included under each section in which it falls. Titles were selected using a number of print and electronic resources including WorldCat, Encyclo- pedia of Travel Literature, Dictionary of Literary Biography, and a number of other travel literature guides and bibliographies.
