Book excerpt: This book introduces us to travel pilgrims, thereby providing an excellent resource for those of us who wish to "get more" out of our travels. He shows how we can energize our lives and enhance our spiritual commitments through our travels to other cultures and to other religious traditions. Biallas shows us how to harvest insights from the Hindus about cities, from Muslims about gardens, and from North American Indians about art. He explains the wisdom we can gather from the Chinese about families and nature, from Buddhists about sacred monuments and ecology, and from Jews about cemeteries.
