Whether
he's engaging in aerial combat or riding an Ididarod sled, White
is one of America's most adventurous travelers. He captures the
joys and fears of wandering the earth's surface with an eclectic
cast of fellow travelers-a frog that won't jump, a group of wild
expatriate Brits, and even a mad Australian scientist. Through
it all he develops a Zenlike "passion for the means"
and a rare ability to revel in the rib-aching humor of each exotic
trip.
