World-class road trips from National Geographic

For the worldly road-tripper, National Geographic's "Drives of a Lifetime: 500 of the World's Most Spectacular Trips," $40, offers itineraries from U.S. 1 on the coast of Maine or Big Sur in California, to the Silk Road in Central Asia and the outback in Australia. The book is divided into eight chapters by type of trip (such as mountains, coasts, cities, history), each offering a detailed selection of itineraries and top 10 lists. For foodies on the road, the top 10 include Hermann Wine Trail in Missouri, pumpkins and chocolate in Pennsylvania and pick-your-own fruit in Idaho. For European lakeside drives, the top 10 range from England's Lake District to Italy's Lake Garda and Sweden's Lake Vanern.- AP
