Between encounters he contemplates everything from America's pioneering spirit to its history of road building. In the end, he discovers that the interstates, far from producing the homogenous society he feared, nourish a rich community of eccentrics. And that ultimately, as this deeply romantic travelogue shows, there is no such thing as an ordinary American. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA wonderful writer, he manages to transmit his enjoyment of the places and people he encounters. --Austin American-Statesman","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50132609892625,"sku":"GOR003235254","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50359414391057,"sku":"CIN0679742654VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52123983380753,"sku":"NLS9780679742654","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0679742654.jpg?v=1750784379"},{"product_id":"dogleg-madness-book-mike-bryan-9780871133304","title":"Dogleg Madness","description":"In a series of essays celebrating golf, the author takes readers from the US Open at Shinnecock Hills to the Ozona Country Club's Invitational in the West Texas flatlands and offers lively discussions of pro tour golfing.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52821107310865,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52821107867921,"sku":"NLS9780871133304","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780871133304.jpg?v=1764331161"},{"product_id":"dogleg-madness-book-mike-bryan-9780871131768","title":"Dogleg madness","description":"In a series of essays celebrating golf, the author takes readers from the U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills to the Ozona Country Club's Invitational in the West Texas flatlands and offers lively discussions of pro tour golfing.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53304461918481,"sku":"CIN0871131765G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53354107175185,"sku":"CIN0871131765VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780871131768.jpg?v=1774113534"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-mike-bryan.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
