Crashing the World Ruffin Beckwith

On his 64th birthday the author left home for a yearlong journey around the world, climbing Kilimanjaro in week one (resulting in knee surgery in Austria ten weeks later), checking off bucket list places from the beaches of Normandy to Angkor Wat to Easter Island, teaching school in Nepal, negotiating the emotions of Vietnam, and even managing two weeks in Cuba. Crashing The World takes the reader along on an unpredictable adventure, with fresh insights on familiar places and introductions to many that will be unfamiliar. Color photographs by chapter are available at a corresponding website at crashingtheworld.com.
