A bit of "travelogue" excerpted from Herodotus. I really like this Penguin Great Journeys series. I bought this and the James Cook excerpt at Daedalus, but might go ahead and pay retail for the rest of it. I deeply love careful descriptions and explanations of scientific and anthropological phenomena that don't make sense to the author. It abounds here.
