You may never visit these places, but Tom Lutz will do it for you. And while global media may serve up a steady diet of division, violence, oppression, hatred, and strife, The Kindness of Strangers shows that people the world over are much more likely to meet strangers with interest, empathy, welcome, and compassion"-- $c Provided by publisher. 500 $a Includes index. 600 10 $a Lutz, Tom $x Travel. 600 17 $a Lutz, Tom. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01992621 650 0 $a Travel $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Kindness. 650 0 $a Voyages and travels. 650 0 $a Travelers' writings, American. 650 7 $a Kindness. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00987598 650 7 $a Travel. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01155558 650 7 $a Travel $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01155596 650 7 $a Travelers' writings, American. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01155721 650 7 $a Voyages and travels. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01169308 710 2 $a University of Iowa Press, $e donor. $e donor. $5 IaU 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117020251.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=23E0DB7678F711ECAF30597D2FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
