The Routes of Man: How Roads Are Changing the World and the Way We Live Today by Ted Conover
4.0
The author takes us on a fascinating tour of a variety of types of roads all over the world. He discusses how they have affected the communities they connect and the communities that grow up around them, in both good and not-so-good ways.
The maps at the beginning of each of the major stories are a much-appreciated feature (my only criticism: I wish they had been provided for the minor stories as well), as were the photographs.
All in all, an interesting read.
