Hop on board and hang on to your hat! No Compass Needed, by prize-winning photographer and writer of children’s fiction Earl Cooper, takes us from the telescopes at the rim of the world atop Hawaii’s Mauna Kea to a meeting with machete-packing aboriginal ladies on the wall around Cambodia’s Angkor Thom, and on adventures to many little-known places in between. Written in fun, down-home prose, these stories combine insightful observations and light-hearted encounters on the road with photographs that are offbeat and eye-opening. No Compass Needed is sure to delight both the armchair traveler and folks with their bags already packed.
