The second updated edition of Etain O'Carroll & Mark Elliott's Greenland & The Arctic (1740590953, $26.99) is out, and is an indispensable guide for any heading North sans travel group. From overviews of regional history and culture to local sights, activities, and opportunities, Greenland & The Arctic highlights all kinds of opportunities, from transportation options between small towns and remote regions to rare shopping opportunities and plenty of nature. A take-along 'must' for any destination-bound traveler; especially since relatively few other titles cover the region in depth. Also take along Lonely Planet Road Trip: Blue Ridge Parkway (174059939X, $10.00): a glovebox-sized set of maps and tips for enjoying the 469-mile scenic drive which ranges from forest to farmland. This isn't just a car map: it includes hikes, hidden nature, and local Appalachian culture which might otherwise be missed, making it a take-along 'must' for any traversing the Parkway. For a fine armchair read as well as a different approach to tourism, pick up The Lonely Planet Guide To Experimental Travel (1741044502, $18.00) and depart from package trips. Lack money or time to travel? Incorporate these potential 'disasters' into your very trip schedule and come up with something different! From exploring song lyrics to testing etiquette by being outrageous, contributors to The Lonely Planet Guide To Experimental Travel offer some 40 experiments to expand the concept of 'adventure'.
