Book Description

July 15, 2005
Travel journalist and novelist Lee Foster's new literary book explores his conviction that our time is both the most wondrous and also the most horrific time ever to be alive. Looking at his own life as a typical modern person, Foster considers the polar positive and negative aspects of modern life, both from a mundane and global perspective. With sufficient imagination and balance, Foster believes, a modern person can cope and flourish.

Lee Foster is basically an optimist even though he has a clear-eyed view of the challenges facing us all. His writing style is refreshing and easy to read. This book is a must-have. It is perfect for reading groups and will stimulate many stirring discussions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Iconic World Sites, December 20, 2010
This review is from: Travels in an American Imagination: The Spiritual Geography of Our Time (Paperback)
I found this to be a poignant book. The book is written by a travel writter and photographer sharing his perspectives on human life through stories told from travels to world sites such as the Terracotta warriors in China or the pyramids of Egypt. I really enjoyed this book, it was a fast and thought-provoking read.
