520    In 2003, Albert Podell realized that he'd been to 110 
       countries in the world. What if, he wondered, he could go 
       to them all? He would set foot in not just the well-known 
       tourist destinations in Europe or the vacation spots in 
       Latin America, but the little-known, far-off lands that 
       most people don't know exist. In Around the World in 50 
       Years, Podell recounts the misunderstandings, detours, 
       accidents, breakdowns, robberies, and even wars that he 
       needed to overcome to visit every corner of Earth. He 
       describes his encounters with voodoo rituals, fruit-bat 
       pie, the Ghost Fleet of Truk Lagoon, Cuban 
       counterintelligence agents, the New Guinea wigmen, camel 
       caravans, the Lord's Resistance Army, and much, much more.
       With a wry, exuberant style, Podell's observations on the 
       unusual and exotic places that lay beyond the usual 
       tourist trails make this book a standout on the travel 
       writing shelf.
