Produktbeschreibung

Is flying an irreplaceable part of 21st-century life? Flying is never zero-carbon, so can we reduce it, or even do without it? Can businesses succeed in a globalized world without international air travel? What about 'love miles' - visiting friends and family overseas? Fourteen authors from around the world - lawyers, journalists, scientists, architects - share their travel stories about life and work 'beyond flying', offering us an inspiring catalogue of reasons to fly less, some great ways of switching to sustainable choices, and the delights of richer travel experiences.
