Book Description
Not your average, dull, humdrum book of history written by a professor (no pun intended). There are 8 million tales in the naked city; this is just one of them! This eBook is a compilation of my nearly 20 years of experience as a tour developer, director, and guide in Charlotte, North Carolina. It contains personal accounts of Queen City history by me and many other guests that were born and raised here. In addition, I have included humorous one-liners learned from the more than 100,000 guests that I have personally "edutained" over the years. These guests hail from every State in the U.S. (United States) and over 40 different foreign countries. I also include unsuspected bloopers from my many tours that will surely bring a smile and/or laugh to your face. Finally, I incorporate Charlotte, North Carolina, and world history from my educational background which includes the successful completion of college courses in North Carolina History, World History, American Literature, and African American Studies. So sit back, relax, and be "edutained" propaganda free!

Book Description
Change the world one trip at a time. In this illuminating collection of stories and lessons from the road, acclaimed travel writer Rick Steves shares a powerful message that resonates now more than ever. With the world facing divisive and often frightening events, from Trump, Brexit, and Erdogan, to climate change, nativism, and populism, there's never been a more important time to travel. Rick believes the risks of travel are widely exaggerated, and that fear is for people who don't get out much. After years of living out of a suitcase, he still marvels at how different cultures find different truths to be self-evident. By sharing his experiences from Europe, Central America, Asia, and the Middle East, Rick shows how we can learn more about own country by viewing it from afar. With gripping stories from Rick's decades of exploration, this fully revised edition of Travel as a Political Act is an antidote to the current climate of xenophobia. When we travel thoughtfully, we bring back the most beautiful souvenir of all: a broader perspective on the world that we all call home. All royalties from the sale of Travel as a Political Act are donated to support the work of Bread for the World, a non-partisan organization working to end hunger at home and abroad.
