LAWRENCE MILLMAN, travel writer
Lawrence Millman is the author of eleven books, including Our Like Will Not Be There Again, Northern Latitudes, Last Places: A Journey in the North, An Evening Among Headhunters, and Lost in the Arctic. His travel articles have appeared in such magazines as Smithsonian, National Geographic Adventure, The Atlantic Monthly, Sports Illustrated, and Islands.
He has won numerous awards, including a Northern Lights Award, a Lowell Thomas Award, an award for the best article on Canada in a U.K. publication (1996), and a Pacific- Asia Gold Travel Award, and he has been anthologized in the Best American Travel Writing (Houghton Mifflin) three years in a row.
He has made over 30 trips and expeditions to the Arctic and Subarctic, discovered a previously unknown lake in Borneo, and is a Fellow of the Explorers Club.
