Safety And Security For Women Who Travel

Sheila Swan Laufer has been traveling the world for fun and business since the 1960s. From camping in Latin America to luxury resorts in the Old World, from long-distance buses across the American South to first-class airliner seats five miles high, from quaint pensions on the Iberian Peninsula to five-star hotels in Oceana, she has experienced the extremes travel offers-taking notes all along the way. Peter Laufer is an award-winning journalist whose career has taken him to many of the world's most dangerous destinations. While researching his book Nightmare Abroad, he traveled around the world, stopping in twenty-one countries, interviewing Americans locked up in foreign prisons. Another of his books, Iron Curtain Rising, recounts his journey through Eastern Europe during the revolutions of 1989-1990. Together the two wrote and photographed Neon Nevada, a study of the impact of the neon sign on Nevada culture, published by the University of Nevada Press.Swan, Sheila is the author of 'Safety And Security For Women Who Travel', published 2004 under ISBN 9781932361155 and ISBN 1932361154.
