Peter Guttman proves, by dint of beautiful photography and evocative prose, that romance is not in the least bit dead. People say the world is getting smaller, but when you see snorkelers swimming with manta rays in Bora Bora, followed by white-robed mystics in Lalibela, Ethiopia and rail-riders living the good life aboard the Eastern and Oriental Express in Malaysia, the world regains some of its size, which is to say, its mystery and appeal. Worlds to Imagine offers, along with introductions to 29 of the world's most alluring places, the image to jump-start the fantasy that may, if all goes well, lead to the trip you've been yearning for. --Stephanie Gold
