Chasing Rickshaws by Tony Wheeler

Chasing Rickshaws by Tony Wheeler

In 1997, inveterate Asia travellers Tony Wheeler and Richard I'Anson chased rickshaws through twelve Asian cities. Rickshaws, their riders and their customers have been studied by engineers, evaluated by transport economists and analysed by sociologists. And now they're celebrated in this lavishly illustrated book.

Tony and Maureen Wheeler founded travel publication Lonely Planet after a trip along Asia's hippie trail in 1972, and the New York Times called him the trailblazing patron saint of the world's backpackers and adventure travelers. Wheeler was instrumental in the development of Melbourne's Wheeler Centre for Books, Writing, and Ideas, as well as the Planet Wheeler Foundation's work on more than fifty projects in the developing world.
