Reservations: The Pleasures and Perils of Travel by Steve Burgess

Burgess poses some tough questions – from what drives us to explore and the difference between being a tourist and a traveler to whether flying can be justified during a global climate crisis.

For the fourth North Shore Reads event, we invite you to a timely and dynamic conversation between Burgess and The Globe and Mail’s Marsha Lederman on the real price of our holidays, covered in Burgess’s new book Reservations: The Pleasures & Perils of Travel. This event is a collaboration between the North Vancouver City Library, North Vancouver District Public Library, and West Vancouver Memorial Library.
