This area of the Books section is devoted to keeping you and your news crews informed and protected when traveling, whether you're driving across town to cover a fire or flying off to some far-flung region of the world to report on a civil war or other disturbance.

This section features travel guides, airport maps, and driving guides to help you have a safe, satisfying and successful trip. After our general travel books dealing with these subjects, we also feature books relating to specific countries around the world (moving in a generally easterly direction from the United States).

As any writer or correspondent knows, however, travel information has a useful shelf-life -- after which it becomes out-of-date, useless or even dangerous. Before setting out on your trip, always ensure your information is accurate and up-to-date. Always try to verify any safety, security and cultural information with a second (or third) trusted source. Your can also check out the links to several government Web sites by clicking on the Useful Links button on the left.

Since there is more risk to your personal safety when traveling to (and working in) unfamiliar places, we recommend also checking out our selection of Safety books containing other items of interest to correspondents, ENG crews and other traveling news gatherers.
