Traveler's Challenge is a record book listing the 1,000 most important and fascinating places in the World. The purpose is to give the traveler a list to record achievements and to suggest new possibilities for travel experience. The record book is divided into countries and is further divided into city or area locations. Each city or area location lists the most important sites of interest to the really sophisticated traveler. These important sites are called "travel goals" because they represent the one thousand travel goals every sophisticated traveler should visit. The listing is followed by a brief descriptions of each site. Each travel goal has been carefully chosen by the author to ensure that the most unique and extraordinary places of the world are listed and described. All the sites on the UNESCO World Heritage List are included. You will not find the tired and stale tourist traps often listed in packaged tours, but, rather 1,000 of the world's most beautiful, most interesting and most adventuresome places.

Hughesworld is an authentic account written by a press spokesman for Howard Hughes that traces the highlights of his varied life in motion pictures and aviation but concentrates on the management struggle that followed his death in 1976. Hughes died intestate, or without a valid will, opening up a circus of phony will documents. In addition hundreds of far-distant relatives staked claims. A first cousin, Texas lawyer William Lummis, assumed control after a long and bitter struggle with executives and lawyers who had previously managed Hughes businesses. Hughes is shown as a brilliant aviation pioneer and aircraft designer, as well as a motion picture producer and an able if unorthodox industrialist. At one time he owed a major airline, TWA, a leading oil well drilling bit company, Hughes Tool, and a missile and electonics concern, Hughes Aircraft. In the final phase of his business life, he owned six Las Vegas hotel-casinos. He ended as a tragic character, living secluded in pain from injuries sustained in plane crashes, rendered helpless by drugs.
