The impulse to motion expedites traditions of this being a land of opportunity egalitarianism of a frontier out there unique individualism and even rebelliousness. For Americans there is always someplace else to go some new vista to see some new landscape to contemplate.</p><p>We take for granted our right to travel and so we should. It is a right carved into our laws and our psyches.</p><p>This book tells you why and how we do that.</p>
