Journeys of Discovery

In Lawrence J. Marcus’s Journeys of Discovery, twenty-one vignettes illustrate the progressive metamorphosis from a myopic early history with an aching need to travel and experience cultural diversity to travel on trains in North America, seven European countries, and South America. Air travel expanded to four continents and over sixty trans-Atlantic crossings. Many of the journeys are seen through the creative lens of an International Student Teaching Model, with sites in Africa, Europe, North America, and South America. The last journey stands on its own as a portrait of self and consummation.
As a college educator and coordinator of international student teaching, Marcus has written a collection of personal essays sure to delight readers attentive to multiculturalism, international education, and the promulgation of social justice.
