Book Description
Have you ever wondered how places like Intercourse, Pennsylvania or Hell, Michigan got their names? So did David Kravetz. As he traveled across America's back roads, David visited these strangely named places, like Uncertain, Success, Nice, Santa Claus and Boring to present a firsthand look at dozens of small towns with unique and often funny names. While some travel books may mention these towns, the authors rarely, if ever visited them. That's what makes "Less Beaten Paths of America" more than just a travelogue. David has been to all of the places in this book, talked with the residents, ate the food, and writes of these places with the affection of a devoted family member, keeping one eye on the road, and the other on the details that make us unique.

Writing Off the Beaten Track
Author: Judith Caesar
Publisher: Syracuse University Press
ISBN: 9780815629573
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
Written by an American woman who resides and teaches in Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates, these informal sketches of life in the Gulf capture the flavor of that exotic corner of the Arab world. Even as she acquaints us with intriguing aspects of Emirati culture, the author notes the varied difficulties inherent in perceiving another way of life, especially one that has been ignored and frequently misrepresented in the West. She provides a unique view of the diverse ways in which American pop culture affects Middle Eastern thought and custom, from shopping and song to fashion and fads. Keenly observed and graced with wit and authority, these essays offer a palpable picture of a place little known to the West while raising substantial questions about the essence of culture and the stereotyping of people and places. Off the Beaten Track will be vastly useful to teachers of Middle East studies and those who have contact with non-Western students. Readers interested in the region and travel aficionados will find it an enlightening and highly original read.
