In Iran

What is it like to travel in the Islamic Republic of Iran? In June 2012, Canadian scholar Adam Jones and his companion Griselda Ramírez made a 26-day, 7,000-kilometer private tour through the western half of the country. The text of "In Iran" incorporates links to hundreds of vivid images that Jones, a widely-published photojournalist, captured throughout his Iranian journey. The photos provide a constant and colorful accompaniment to this entertaining, original, and up-to-the-minute account of one of the world's most controversial and misunderstood countries -- and one of its most historic and enduring civilizations.
