Whether it’s the flower-filled meadows of the Dolomites or a blanket of stars above Chile’s Elqui Valley, set forth and share in the discoveries of
Mountains, Deserts & Plains, a collection of
25 dream destinations in TASCHEN’s
Explorer series with
The New York Times.
Discover the deliciously intricate geology of
China’s Wulingyuan National Park with Simon Winchester, the
otherworldly beauty of Namibia with Elinor Burkett, or the sunrise serenity of the
Sawtooth Valley in Idaho. The
Times writers are your guides, and the wealth of color photographs that accompany their writing capture the
catch-your-breath awe of each spectacular location.
The
Explorer series takes travel
beyond the obvious with adventures in exotic places and new perspectives in familiar ones, all based on the distinguished travel journalism in
The New York Times. Each journey features a first-person narrative and postcard-perfect photography that capture
the unique personality of the destination—as well as
practical information to help get you on your way. Edited by
Barbara Ireland, whose
36 Hours travel series has been a TASCHEN best seller, the
Explorer series launches with
Beaches, Islands & Coasts and
Mountains, Deserts & Plains. Upcoming volumes include
Cities & Towns and
Road, Rail & Trail.
