Praise
for the Encyclopedia:
A Library Journal Best Reference Source 2003
A
ALA/RUSA Outstanding Reference Source 2004
"If reference books were precious stones, then this encyclopedia
would rank among the very finest of gems…. This reference
will thrill the connoisseur of autobiographical travel
while providing contextual date for potential travelers….
As a bonus, the thematic entries illuminate a multitude of topics,
from logbooks and the Crusades to volcanology and Romanticism.
A researcher's cornucopia and an armchair traveler's delight,
this is a significant contribution to genre with a long
shelf life. Highly recommended for any library."
