From the bestselling author of Jurassic Park, Timeline, and Sphere comes a deeply personal memoir full of fascinating adventures as he travels everywhere from the Mayan pyramids to Kilimanjaro.
Fueled by a powerful curiosity—and by a need to see, feel, and hear firsthand and close-up—Michael Crichton's journeys have carried him into worlds diverse and compelling—swimming with mud sharks in Tahiti, tracking wild animals through the jungle of Rwanda.
This is a record of those travels—an exhilarating quest across the familiar and exotic frontiers of the outer world, a determined odyssey into the unfathomable, spiritual depths of the inner world.
It is an adventure of risk and rejuvenation, terror, and wonder, as exciting as Michael Crichton's many masterful and widely heralded works of fiction.

One of the most fascinating aspects of Travels is how Crichton finds a connection between science and spirituality. He explores this relationship in depth, showing us that these two seemingly different fields can actually complement each other. This book will make you rethink your own beliefs.
Travels is not just about physical journeys, but also about personal growth. Crichton shares how his travels have shaped him as a person, teaching him valuable life lessons. This book will make you realize that travel is not just about seeing new places, but also about self-discovery.
