About the Author
Escritor de viajes de origen británico, Mark Elliott ha vivido y trabajado en cinco continentes y es autor y colaborador de más de 60 títulos de Lonely Planet. Visita el subcontinente desde que un viaje, en 1982, puso su estómago a prueba de cualquier eventualidad. Le encanta el arcoí- ris cultural de la India, pero se siente especialmente atraído por el aire fresco, las majestuosas montañas y la calidez espiritual de las regiones del Himalaya, ya sea compartiendo secretos sufíes en Srinagar, musitando mantras en Ladakh o dejándose sorprender por los exuberantes megatemplos y estatuas de Sikkim.
Cuando Michael Benanav era niño, su padre cometió el error de regalarle una biografía de Lawrence de Arabia, junto a la novela de aventuras La vuelta al mundo en 80 días. Aquellos libros prendieron una chispa en aquel joven y ávido lector identificado con sus protagonistas principales. Hoy es un veterano viajero, escritor y fotógrafo que adora explorar parajes remotos, alejados de las zonas turísticas más trilladas. Es autor de tres libros de no ficción (ambientados en tres continentes distintos) y escribe y fotografía para grandes publicaciones. Es fundador de Traditional Cultures Project, que documenta las culturas indígenas de todo el mundo. Para ver una parte de su trabajo, visítese www.michaelbenanav.com.
Tras terminar un grado de Empresariales en su ciudad natal, Melbourne, Sarina Singh viajó a la India para seguir una formación corporativa antes de trabajar como periodista. Cinco años después regresó a Australia y completó un posgrado de periodismo antes de escribir la primera edición de Rajastán de Lonely Planet. Además de numerosos títulos de Lonely Planet, ha escrito para un montón de publicaciones y ha sido guionista y comentarista especializada. Sarina también es autora de Polo in India y de India: Essential Encounters. Su documental, nominado a varios premios, se estrenó en el prestigioso Melbourne International Film Festival antes de lanzarse a nivel mundial.
Como escritor y fotógrafo que es, Paul Harding ha pasado gran parte de las últimas dos décadas viajando por el mundo. Le interesan los lugares más remotos y menos convencionales, las islas y las diferentes culturas. Paul ha colaborado hasta la fecha en más de 50 guías Lonely Planet de países y regiones tan diversos como India, Islandia, Belice, Vanuatu, Irán, Indonesia, Nueva Zelanda, Finlandia, Filipinas y su país natal: Australia.

Store description
With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.…
