The Routes of Man: Travels in the Paved World
Roads unite people and sunder them. They both bind cultures across continents and highlight our differences. Conover explores six of these key byways worldwide: in Peru, East Africa, China, Nigeria, the Himalayas, and the West Bank. En route he introduces readers to intriguing characters and addresses some of the world’s most pressing issues—from the spread of AIDS by truckers in East Africa to smuggling along Peruvian highways.
