Paul Simon zpívá o tom, jak "odjíždí hledat Ameriku", tak procítěně, že každý, kdo se s touto nostalgickou, budoucností posedlou a mnohotvárnou zemí alespoň zběžně obeznámí, určitě rázem pochopí proč. Pokud tedy i vy přijíždíte hledat Ameriku, začněte třeba mezi zvlněnými lány obilí v srdci kontinentu, mezi vznosnými štíty Skalnatých hor nebo pod nekonečnou oblohou jihozápadních pouští, jejichž nedozírné pláně mění barvu s každičkou změnou úhlu dopadu slunečních paprsků. Seberte odvahu a podnikněte klasickou pouť po kalifornské dálnici č. 1 nebo po legendární Route 66 - pramáti všech amerických dálnic. Nechte se prostoupit kouzlem majestátních rudých skal, osamělých kaktusů a vzdáleného vytí kojotů, jež na vás čekají v podmanivých národních parcích amerického jihozápadu. - 25 autorů, 613 dní strávených na cestách, 108 438 ujetých kilometrů, dohromady spatřeni čtyři Elvisovi dvojníci - Speciální barevné přílohy věnované národním parkům a největším zajímavostem Spojených států - Podrobný popis místních komunikací, aktivit, kulturních atrakcí i ekoturistické infrastruktury a k tomu mnoho doporučených tras.

Walt Disney hatte recht: In Florida erwacht die Phantasie zum Leben. Die Wahnsinnslandschaften lassen verrückte Ideen entstehen: Als spanische Forschungsreisende Seekühe entdeckten, glaubten sie, es seien Meerjungfrauen. Ponce de Leon sah eine kristallklare Quelle und glaubte, sie sei ein Jungbrunnen. Bauunternehmer sahen ein Sumpfgebiet und verkauften es als Paradies - doch selbst wenn es eines ist, hat sich dort auch der Teufel eingekauft. In seiner Geschichte hat Florida die Menschen ebenso zu Wahnsinns- oder Mordtaten inspiriert wie die phantastischen Vorstellungen von einem magischen Königreich, in dem alle Träume in Erfüllung gehen können.
