This month in Soundings, we feature an in-depth conversation with India expert William Dalrymple, author of numerous highly acclaimed books, including the masterful new "Nine Lives."
In Roundtable, veteran travel writer and editor Larry Habegger describes what he found by getting lost on a Himalayan trek. In a Brilliant Books excerpt from "Dreaming in Chinese," Deborah Fallows analyzes the larger lessons learned over three years of studying Mandarin in China. And in Fresh from the Field, we present a wanderlust-whetting portfolio of photos from GeoEx staffers' adventures around the world.
Finally, in Illuminations, I recount a life-opening, culture-bridging encounter in Peru's Sacred Valley.
