Showcasing the best in Rough Guides’ travel photography from the last 25 years, Earthbound: A Rough Guide to the World in Pictures is the definitive photographic guide to the experience of travel in all its guises. From a chance encounter with a trinket-seller in Cuba to stumbling upon a local festival in Peru or the vivid saris of a family relaxing on Chowpatty Beach, the moments captured on camera really are worth their weight in words.

Packed with over 250 striking images, Earthbound also reveals the story behind the pictures through personal insights from the photographers alongside selected photos. Hear first-hand how they came to capture these exceptional moments in time.

Earthbound won’t just inspire you with unique world photography but uses QR Codes, an innovative new technology, to instantly transport readers to the geographical location of the image on Google Maps through their mobile phones. QR codes (a type of bar code) next to each photograph can be scanned onto a mobile phone, PDA, or laptop link straight through to the image location on Google Maps.

“One day we realized that of the literally hundreds of thousands of images we had, some were so
outstanding they deserved to be in a book of their own. All of them reminded us what an amazingly
rich and diverse place the world is, and, most importantly, why we started travelling in the first place.” Martin Dunford, Rough Guide co- founder and Publishing Director
