Cuba by Tom Miller
From revolution to embargo, from the charms of old Havana to the beaches of the Bay of Pigs, from the hypnotic rhythms of Caribbean music to voodoo influences, Cuba is a country of passion and complexity, a political dinosaur on the verge of dramatic change. Travelers' Tales Cuba is an eye-opening literary ensemble, in which Cuba emerges with all its strengths and weaknesses, convictions and contradictions.

- Feel the heartbeat of Cuba on late night musical excursions with Henry Shukman
- Learn the Cuban secret to life--making the most of what you have--with Cristina Garcia
- Join Patrick Symmes on his search for the Ernesto Che Guevara legend
- Glimpse the quirks, charm, and creativity of Cubans on an unusal bus ride with Eduardo Galeano. and much more.

He's visited fifty countries and lived in four, along the way meditating with monks in Tibet, participating in West African voodoo rituals, rafting the Zambezi, and hanging out with nuns in Florence and penguins in Antarctica. He travels whenever he can with his wife and their three daughters. They live in Palo Alto, California, where they also publish art games and books for children at Birdcage Press (birdcagepress.com). Larry Habegger, executive editor of Travelers' Tales, has visited almost fifty countries and six of the seven continents, traveling from the Arctic to equatorial rainforests, the Himalayas to the Dead Sea.
