(re)Covering America
Two Italian journalists, husband and wife, who have lived in New York for 25 years, recount America through two coast-to-coast road trips as "special correspondents" for the Italian Cultural Institute of New York. The first journey retraced the pioneers' trails-from New York to Oregon and back through the northern states along the Canadian border. The second led them from New York to San Diego, following the Atlantic coast to Georgia before crossing the southern states. In total, they covered 20,000 miles in 105 days. Their central theme was the discovery of "The Other America," far from the tourist circuits yet close to the nation's authentic heart. Along the way, they uncovered architectural curiosities like the University of Texas at El Paso campus, inspired by Bhutanese temples, and unexpected beauty such as the Crystal Bridges Museum nestled in the woods of Bentonville, Arkansas.

Goodly Barrow
GOODLY BARROW is a long-unavailable classic that charts the history and character of Ireland's second-longest river, from the Slieve Bloom Mountains to the sea in Waterford. T.F. O'Sullivan's riverine narrative embraces legend and song, literature and anecdote, viewing Irish history through the prism of the waterway: from the early tribal kingdoms of the Celts, to the Vikings and Normans who made passage up the estuary, leaving a legacy of castles, abbeys, monasteries and towns; from the Tudor and Cromwellian settlements on the fertile plains of Carlow and Kildare, to Quaker bridge-builders and Huguenot refugees. It opens up a little-known part of Ireland's countryside and heritage, and is an invaluable guide for boaters and armchair travellers alike.
Iceland
A hotspot in the North Atlantic, Iceland is one of the world's most unusual countries. It is Europe's second largest island but its most sparsely populated country. Sitting astride the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, linking the North Atlantic plate with the Eurasian plate, it is closer to Greenland than Europe. It lies just south of the Arctic Circle, but, warmed by Gulf Stream waters, has a temperate climate. It has fiery volcanoes and freezing glaciers, striking black sand beaches and hot geysers - the word geyser itself comes from Icelandic. And a geologically young landmass, Iceland is still taking shape: a volcanic eruption in 1963 caused the formation of the new island of Surtsey. Iceland is a fascinating exploration of this most beautiful island. From volcanoes and lava flows to geysers and geothermal pools, from bird life to whale-watching, from national parks, verdant valleys to inland tundra, and from how waterfalls are used for hydro-electric power to Reykjavik's city life, the book is packed with 200 spectacular colour photographs. Presented with captions explaining the story behind each entry, Iceland is a stunning collection of images celebrating the world's most curious island.

Shropshire (Slow Travel)
Part of Bradt's distinctive, award-winning series of 'Slow' travel guides to UK regions, this new, thoroughly updated third edition of Shropshire (Slow Travel) remains the only standalone guidebook to provide in-depth coverage of England's largest landlocked county. Although often overlooked, Shropshire is remarkable - "the nearest earthly place to paradise," according to author P.G. Wodehouse. The county has been touched by every era of history the British Isles have known: Bronze Age people, Iron Age tribes, Romans, Saxons and Normans all left their marks in hillforts, earthworks, roads, churches, place names and legends, while Shropshire's position at the once-turbulent Anglo-Welsh borders has left a legacy of castles, castle ruins and fortified manor houses, all carrying stories of clashes and feuds. In the north, flat, fertile plains plus meres and mosses give way to hills, valleys and woodland in the south. In the Shropshire Hills ('quintessential Shropshire'), Church Stretton was popular with Victorians for its Alps-like air and is an ideal walking base for the Stretton Hills and the Long Mynd. Bishop's Castle is home to a 'poetry pharmacy' and the country's oldest working brewery. Genteel Ludlow is a nationally famous foodie destination: Britain's 'Slow Food capital' hosts four of the county's nine Michelin-guide Bib Gourmand restaurants. Southeast Shropshire has Bridgnorth, with its quirky cliff railway joining Low Town to High Town, and Much Wenlock, birthplace of the modern-day Olympics. The Telford and Wrekin region incorporates the spectacular UNESCO site of Ironbridge Gorge and ten excellent museums. Writing with intimate detail and insider tips, author Marie Kreft offers detailed descriptions of place, historical overviews, ghost stories and folk tales, plus first-hand accounts from Shropshire residents and a hand-picked selection of restaurant recommendations. Emphasising car-free travel, local produce and characterful accommodation, the guide unapologetically takes you the long way round - through ancient woodland, over bridges and 'Blue Remembered Hills', back in time, into castles, churches and interesting pubs - cheerfully and wittily savouring the authentic, offbeat and local. All in all, Bradt's Shropshire (Slow Travel) is an indispensable guide to one of Britain's most scenic and intriguing counties.

This thoroughly updated second edition of Bradt's Northern Greece guidebook, written by Greece expert and long-time travel writer Dana Facaros, remains the only guide available to a region that includes ?pirus, Thessaly, Macedonia and Thrace - complete with their five dramatically beautiful national parks, the country's highest peaks, mountain lakes, rushing rivers, the world's deepest gorge and (this is Greece, after all) long sandy beaches. Northern Greece is an up-and-coming, year-round destination that provides the more natural, authentic experience that many travellers seek from this increasingly popular country. Thessalon穩ki, the country's vibrant second city, is packed with ancient and Byzantine monuments. Three-pronged Chalkidik穩 has two peninsulas lined with hedonistic beaches and resorts, while the third comprises silent, holy Mount Athos. Central Macedonia is Alexander the Great country, offering ample archaeological sites, Mount Olympus and Greece's top vineyards. The handsome port city of Kav獺la lies near the beach-fringed island of Th獺ssos and ancient Philippi, visited by St Paul. To the east, multi-ethnic Thrace has traditional towns, spectacular birdwatching and the island of ancient mysteries, Samothr獺ki. Western Macedonia, meanwhile, is full of surprises: charming small cities nobody has heard of, such as ?dessa, V矇ria, Kastori獺 and Fl籀rina, which neighbours the haunting Prespa lakes. Further west, northern ?pirus is home to the breathtaking V穩kos Gorge and the Zagorach籀ria's enchanting stone villages. Beaches dot the coast, if you can drag yourself away from ancient Roman Nikopolis, Dodona or the Necromanteion, where the living consulted the dead. Fringing Thessaly's great agricultural plain are the Met矇ora's pinnacle-topped monasteries and beautiful Lake Plast穩ra. In Magnes穩a, V籀los provides the gateway to the P矇lion Peninsula and the islands of Ski獺thos, Sk籀pelos and Al籀nissos. This new edition of Bradt's Northern Greece serves as an ideal travelling companion for visitors of all ages, budgets and interests, from culture lovers to wildlife enthusiasts, history buffs to archaeologists, foodies to wine connoisseurs, mountain climbers to sea kayakers - not to mention those who simply want to relax on a sandy beach before dancing the night away.

Source to Sea - A 2,000 Mile Canoe Journey Down the Mississippi River
What does it really take to paddle the Mississippi River from its headwaters in remote Minnesota to the Gulf of Mexico?In Source to Sea, Appalachian Trail thru-hiker John Pugh and Jessica Robinson turn a weekend promise into a 73-day odyssey-more than 2,000 miles of currents, critters, comedy, and choices that test body, mind, and partnership. It's also a test of patience and relationships, paddling ten hours a day and rarely more than ten feet from your partner for weeks on end.Pugh and Robinson face a range of challenges, from cold sleet to relentless heat, thunderous storms, looming hurricane threats, and unpredictable currents-all while keeping their sense of humor (mostly) intact.While paddling the river, they partnered with and promoted The Audubon Society's Upper Mississippi River Campaign, using their journey to highlight the importance of protecting the wild waters and river communities that sustain both wildlife and people.The couple veers off the main channel to follow the remote Atchafalaya River; they trade barge traffic for wilderness, commerce for quiet, and the expected route for unexpected discoveries. Along the lower Mississippi, they encounter relentless solitude-days defined by wide water, distant levees, and the haunting beauty of a river few ever truly see.Equal parts pulse-quickening adventure, honest travel memoir, and laugh-out-loud reflection, Source to Sea explores what happens when two people leave the safe path and let the river decide the next bend. For those inspired to launch their own journey, the book includes planning insights and hard-won lessons about gear, logistics, and life on the river.Featuring more than 40 full-color photographs taken during the expedition, the book brings to life the raw beauty, challenges, and perspectives that define life in a canoe, and what it truly means to undertake an expedition of this scale.Perfect For Readers Who: Love true adventure and travel memoirs that blend humor, grit, and reflectionAre drawn to river culture, paddling, thru-hiking, and long-distance expeditionsAppreciate stories of partnership, resilience, solitude, and absurd moments in natureWant practical takeaways for planning their own outdoor adventuresBook DetailsGenre: Adventure / Travel MemoirThemes: Resilience, partnership, exploration, solitude, nature, humor, riskTone: Gritty, reflective, uplifting, humorousIf You Enjoy Books Like These...If you're a fan of Wild by Cheryl Strayed, A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson, or Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer, you'll love Source to Sea-a story that delivers both heart-pounding challenges and hilarious, heartfelt revelations that come when you follow a river beyond the map.

The Artist & Her Lover
This fast-paced travel romance is Part II of a trilogy series of books. It's an upmarket romance involving a love triangle in the Sahara Desert. Autumn Simmons, an American and a 'na簿ve' artist, lives with her lover, Colin Acieta, in a chateau in Amalfi, Italy -a seaside town with small bays, picturesque cliffs, and hundreds of uphill stone steps overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. Acieta, a photographer, travels to the parched and barren Sahara Desert to rescue his siblings from a migrant trafficker. Yet, his noble mission is thwarted when he is held hostage by local domestic terrorists. To negotiate Acieta's release, Autumn travels to the Sahara Desert. And there, she meets Brahim Ghali, a Muslim Berber, dressed in ankle-length thobes and kufiyah headdresses, who believes in polygamy and has a harem of women. But Autumn is a 'limerence' to Ghali, and he becomes tragically obsessed with her. Which of Two Sigma Males Will Win Autumn's Heart? and Will she return to Italy or remain in the Sahara? The Author encourages readers to listen to Jesse Cook's instrumentals, like Closer to Madness, Cascada, and Baghdad, while reading the book, to view the difference between Picasso's and Delaquoix's paintings of The Women of Algiers to more deeply immerse themselves in the Sahara setting of the novel. Author / Illustrator, Edwina Louise Dorch, won the American Writing Award for best inspirational novel in 2023 and was a finalist in the crime genre in 2024. She is a psychologist who teaches art therapy on a barrier island off the Coast of Florida. And, her paintings are shown in galleries along the Florida A1A highway.
