4 Americans in Cuba

Larry Stein

4 Americans in Cuba

For Americans, Cuba has been the forbidden fruit–a skin of Detroit sheet metal covering a center of tasty rum, swirling cigar smoke and sandy beaches. Pointed prose, and over 200 pictures, tempt you to take a bite out of major cites and nibble on hidden beaches. Unvarnished opinions, with a uniquely American perspective, guide you to warm accommodations, fine food, stirring sights and sizzling salsa. As in Larry Stein's three other books...

Mt Kilimanjaro & Me

Annette Freeman

Mt Kilimanjaro & Me

Ever wondered if you could climb a mountain? Maybe one of the Seven Summits? What if you are a middle-aged, unfit, inexperienced business woman with a sedentary job? This is the story of one such woman who decided to leave her office job in Sydney and go climb Mt Kilimanjaro in Africa. She tells the tale with wry humour, undaunted – well, only a little daunted – by the difficulties of spending nine days and eight nights on the slopes of the mountain, dealing with no running water, hours of...

To Lose the Madness

L.M. Browning

To Lose the Madness

In this career-defining work that eventually went on to become a TEDx Talk at Yale University, Browning explores the breaking point every mind has after finding her own limit during a gauntlet of traumatic events. Pulled out of this blast-crater moment in her life by a friend, she is brought away from the insanity and deep into the snowy Sangre de Cristo Mountains where, standing in front of a herd of wild buffalo, she comes face to face with the terms we all must come to surrounding the loss...

Shakespeare on a Train

B. NAIR

Shakespeare on a Train

These episodes from the roller-coaster life of one man take us to the Alps where he loses his son; the Parisian hotel where he survives malaria; and the wild, high seas where he hangs on to a rope ladder praying for his life. In these true stories, he survives a bloody coup in Africa and travels in an airplane standing in the aisle. He blocks a presidential motorcade but is still alive and free. He uses a Shakespearian quote to escape from a tormentor on a crowded train in rural India. We see...

Yosemite National Park Planning: The Dark Side

I first visited Yosemite Valley 70 years ago, and revisited the Valley many times since. But over the past half century, I've become distraught over the commercial plundering of this national treasure–I'm heartbroken by the crowding, the traffic, and the proliferation of inappropriate construction projects. This book spells out how we the people can take back the Valley and return it to nature.

Southeast Asia On a Rope: Thailand and Laos

Using nearly two hundred color pictures, this guidebook illustrates the charm and adventure of traveling to Thailand and Laos. The guide is aimed at the cost conscious, but not the cost adverse. "A Traveler on a Rope" is neither traveling on a shoestring, nor toting, or having another tote, Hermes luggage. Cost is an object but so is comfort. She recognizes the danger of a luxury cocoon as well as the tedium of a shared bathroom. The...

Derek Pugh

Tambora

Tambora, whose 1815 eruption did indeed change the world. Pugh's account of the eruption and its aftermath is masterfully done – clearly the product of much dogged research through archives, scientific journals, as well as conversations with Indonesians lasting long into the steamy night. Himself...
