| | 2. |  | The Places In Between
from Harvest Books
Price: $11.20
Customer Review:
The Places In Between is an interesting and well written account that provides in-depth views about Afghanistan's ways of life. This is a book westerners should read if they want to further understand the intricacies of this region and the contradictions between cultural diversity and globalization.

Customer Review:

Customer Review:
I really only used the info regarding Kathmandu since that is the only place I visited but the information given was accurate even the warning about the electricity going out all of a sudden for hours in the city.
