Is our era both the most wondrous and the most horrific time ever to be alive in the history of the human race? Award-winning travel journalist Lee Foster thinks so. This book, Travels in an American Imagination: The Spiritual Geography of Our Time, consists of 25 essays, each with a photo illustration, in which Foster evokes a place in his worldwide travels and then raises a question about the spiritual geography of our era. This book is Foster’s answer to the question, “How can a typical modern person balance both the wondrous and the horrific and lead a constructive life?" Foster's work has won eight Lowell Thomas Awards, the highest awards in travel journalism, including him being named Lowell Thomas Travel Journalist of the Year (Silver Winner).
