Generally it is assumed that the authors of such accounts believe them to be truthful at the time of their composition.

It typically records the experiences of an author touring a place for the pleasure of travel. • Travel literature may be cross-cultural or transnational in focus, or may involve travel to different regions within the same country. • It is also closely associated with outdoor literature and the genres often overlap with no definite boundaries.

  9. Blueprints • A blueprint is a type of paper-based reproduction usually of a technical drawing, documenting an architecture or an engineering design. • More generally, the term "blueprint" has come to be used to refer to any detailed plan. • Traditional blueprints have largely been replaced by more modern, less expensive printing methods and digital displays. In the early 1940s, blueprint began to be replaced by diazo prints or whiteprints

  11. Photography “National Geographic Simply Beautiful Photographs takes readers on a spectacular visual journey through some of the most stunning photographs to be found in National Geographic's famed Image Collection. Award-winning photographer Annie Griffiths culled the images to reflect the many variations on the universal theme of beauty. Chapters are organized around the aesthetic concepts that create beauty in a photograph: Light, Composition, Moment (Gesture and Emotion), Motion, Palette, and Wonder.” http://www.amazon.com/National-Geographic-Simply- Beautiful-Photographs/dp/1426206453/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8 &qid=1323737916&sr=8-5

  12. Autobiography • “Nineteenth-century African American businessman, activist, and educator Booker Taliaferro Washington's Up from Slavery is one of the greatest American autobiographies ever written. Its mantras of black economic empowerment, land ownership, and self-help inspired generations of black leaders, including Marcus Garvey, Elijah Muhammad, Malcolm X, and Louis Farrakhan. In rags-to-riches fashion, Washington recounts his ascendance from early life as a mulatto slave in Virginia to a 34-year term as president of the influential, agriculturally based Tuskegee Institute in Alabama. From that position, Washington reigned as the most important leader of his people, with slogans like "cast down your buckets," which emphasized vocational merit rather than the academic and political excellence championed by his contemporary rival W.E.B. Du Bois. […] The potency of his philosophies are alive today in the nationalist and conservative camps that compose the complex quilt of black American society.” http://www.amazon.com/Up-Slavery-Autobiography-Booker-Washington/dp/1461036461/ref=sr_1_38?ie=UTF8&qid=1323739491&sr=8-38
