About the Book

“Circumnavigating the Globe” highlights international travel in a reality television show competition. This book covers what happened in Amazing Race (AR) 10 to 14 and Amazing Race Asia (ARA) 1 to 3. Many of the analysis chapters also cover AR1 to 9. Included are an Amazing Race Vocabulary and listing of all countries and major cities visited by all amazing races (ARs plus ARAs). There is an analysis chapter on Animals. The author rates the Saddest Elimination of every AR or ARA and Weakest Teams in each AR or ARA. Analyses show why his Favorite Teams for each AR and ARA merit that distinction and one is selected as the most favorite of all time. The most interesting chapter in this book could be the Most Amazing Moments of each AR and ARA. Following that, every FAST FORWARD ever taken is listed with type of task, the geography and the competition if known. There is a separate classification of all AR teams into categories Female/Female, Male/Male, Couple and Family Relationships with the major reason for elimination listed if that team did not win. There are transportation chapters on travel by air, self-driving, taxis, boats, trains and buses. This book finishes with multiple indexes on Races, Racers, and the most cited Places. If you are a fan of the Amazing Race, this book will help you become a superfan.
