Roads bind our world—metaphorically and literally—transforming landscapes and the lives of the people who inhabit them. Roads have unparalleled power to impact communities, unite worlds and sunder them, and reveal the hopes and fears of those who travel them.

Another great book by Mr. Conover
Revisado: 03-23-16
Mr Conover has the ability to insert himself in places where I would never go in a million years (either due to the fear of physical danger, disease or even just the assured discomfort associated with these locations) and finding interesting people and their relationship with various roads. This was an informative and easy book to read/ listen to (I did both).
I would also recommend his book,"New Jack" about his experiences in working as a NY State Correction Officer. I worked 25 years in a large jail in N. Y. and was very impressed with his ability to present the incarceration system from the viewpoint of the jail workers in a fair and honest way.
