Meet me at the Kasbah! Discover the heart of Morocco with the world's foremost explorer -- the father of modern adventure travel and author of many books -- Richard Bangs. This is the companion book to the PBS special of the same name premiering in February 2009. Journey with Bangs to explore what the kasbah means in today's Morocco, and see what it represents not just for Moroccans but for all of us.

Along the way you'll ride along on a camel trek through the Sahara Desert, hike in the Atlas Mountains, and poke around the ancient (and modern) towns of Casablanca, Fes, and Rabat. And you'll be treated not just to a typical travelogue, but to a broad and free-ranging discussion on being connected to nature, the concept of digital nomads, and what's at stake in preserving and sustaining multicultural oases of tolerance and respect in today's busy world.
