An Aegean Odyssey
From USA TODAY Bestselling author Kathryn Gaucicomes a vivid memoir of her life and travels across the ancient and spectacular islands of Greece."I would be like Odysseus, wandering in search of adventure. How it would turn out, I had no idea: I would leave that to fate."After more than thirty years as a successful carpet and textile designer, Kathryn decided it was time for a change: she wanted to become an author, and the first place she turned for inspiration was Greece, where she had worked as a carpet designer in Athens in the 1970s. With no idea of what she would write about, she took two months off and returned in 2005 in search of a new adventure. All she knew was that she wanted to find the old Greece that was quickly disappearing through modernization and tourism. It was a great leap of faith to make this change in mid-life, yet not being one to miss an opportunity, she packed her bags and set out alone, hoping to discover the beauty and rich tapestry of characters that had inspired such great writers of the past - Nikos Kazantzakis, Lord Byron, Henry Miller, Patrick Leigh Fermor, Odysseus Elytis, and Homer himself.Follow along with Kathryn's journey as she explores the centuries-old mastic villages of Chios; the island of Lesbos, with its vast landscapes of olive groves and purveyors of the world's finest ouzo; Karpathos, with its stunning beaches and crystal-clear turquoise waters; and finally, the majestic mountains and gorges of Crete, home of the God Zeus, the legend of the Minotaur, and that famous Cretan spirit of Zorba - the same spirit that fought against the Ottomans and the Germans in World War II.Staying in unspoiled villages and mountain retreats, she also discovers the mouth-watering regional food cooked in the age-old tradition. Along the way, she finds her own story - and discovers that a part of Greece will always be embedded in her psyche."I sip my ouzo, cloudy with ice and accompanied by a small plate of mezedes, at a table along a sidewalk filled with pink oleander.""Somehow, I feel different. I can sense a peacefulness I don't think I've had for years. I have begun to let go and really relax, and I wasn't even aware it was happening.""Surrounded by nature and inspired by the courage of the Greeks with their turbulent past; sometimes glorious, sometimes bloody, I too have learnt to live with the rhythm of life."

East Devon & the Jurassic Coast
Part of Bradt's distinctive, award-winning series of 'Slow' travel guides to UK regions, this new, thoroughly updated third edition of Bradt's East Devon and the Jurassic Coast (Slow Travel) remains the most comprehensive - and only standalone - guide available to this area. Written with insider knowledge that can only be gained by living in the area, and combined with colourful, enthusiastic and witty writing, plus contributions from local experts, this guidebook is as much a pleasure to read as an invaluable companion for exploring east Devon and west Dorset. Devon is the fourth most popular county for UK holidaymakers - and for good reason. Over a hundred square miles of East Devon are designated a 'National Landscape' (formerly 'Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty') and the internationally famous Jurassic Coast stretching into Dorset is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The charming coastal town of Seaton, which hosted American forces in the run-up to World War II's Normandy D-Day landings, benefits from the extension (to wildlife-packed Seaton Wetlands) of the Stop Line Way, a long-distance cycling and walking route, originally designed for World War II defences. Wolford Chapel is a little piece of Canada given to the people of Canada in 1966, where the Maple Leaf is still hoisted daily. Dorset's Lyme Regis, meanwhile, is Britain's fossil-hunting capital - as featured in the 2020 film Ammonite, starring Kate Winslet. With an emphasis on car-free travel - walking, cycling and local buses - this Bradt guide's detailed descriptions, historical glimpses, folklore and personal anecdotes whet visitors' appetite for exploration. Many activities are covered for the first time in this new edition. Coastal walking has never been better following the reopening of the South West Coast Path locally. Savour the artisan coffee that has become a big deal locally, or taste the produce of the region's fastest-growing agricultural sector: wine. Giggle at the goings on at the ancient Goose Fayre in Colyton, and enjoy other idiosyncratic local festivals such as the Ottery tar barrels and Honiton hot pennies. And indulge in one of Beer's Devon cream teas while admiring this picturesque fishing village. Wherever you amble, let Bradt's East Devon and the Jurassic Coast (Slow Travel) be your companion.
Last Century
It was the old expat's Thailand, long before the internet, where days were long and the country still remote, and one could find adventure in every new day. It was a frenetic land undergoing an economic boom, but also an isolated outpost for lost souls. Anything was possible-fortunes, visions, and the challenges of becoming a man. Ron Morris applies the discipline of the short story to true tales of adventure: hiding from the Khmer Rouge, fired on during Thailand's Black May, beset by ghosts in the city, entombed with a legendary sword in Burma, living under Siamese skies...

Braver Than You Think
"A powerful account of a journey that proves 'This Girl Can'.""A yearning for space and silence; for air in the lungs; for purpose - the simplicity of a defined mission - had banished doubt and fear and driven me to climb on my bike. And as I pedalled up the country, venturing far beyond my comfort zone in every sense, I found within me untapped reserves of determination, singlemindedness, and pure joy that spurred me on further. I saw the truth in the saying that you only know what you're capable of when you're pushed beyond your limits."Are you braver than you think?That's the question Claire Davies began asking herself as she cycled from Land's End to John O'Groats, ill-prepared, unsupported and alone.At a mid-life low point, craving space and time to think, or not to think, Claire decided that a long bicycle ride was what she needed. Setting off for Scotland just a few weeks later, on a bike named Trixie, guided by a gadget called Guillaume, she had little idea what she was letting herself in for.It turned out to be a journey not only to better physical fitness and mental health, but also to empowerment and self-discovery, partly through the eyes of the people she met along the way.On one level, this book is a travelogue, a day-by-day account of an iconic British journey, to be enjoyed as much by those with real aspirations of cycling from Land's End to John O'Groats as by armchair cycle tourers.But the challenges Claire faced on the ride, and her personal reflections from the saddle, will also serve as inspiration for anyone who needs coaxing out of their comfort zone, or is simply seeking a spot of vicarious adventure.
Noto An Unexplored Corner Of Japan
Noto: An unexplored corner of Japan is a reflective travel account written in the late 1800s that captures the curiosity and observational precision of a Western traveler immersed in the Japanese landscape. The work begins with the author's fascination ignited by a simple map, which evokes an irresistible urge to explore a peninsula largely unknown outside Japan. This initial intrigue grows into a deliberate and well-supplied expedition, blending physical travel with cultural exploration. The early passages chronicle his journey's outset, highlighting the logistical effort involved and the novelty of venturing into unfamiliar regions. The presence of a Japanese assistant not only provides practical aid but also introduces moments of cultural exchange and contrast. The text emphasizes sensory experiences and emotional nuances, rendering the physical journey secondary to the traveler s inward reflection on difference, distance, and belonging. In this way, the work resists being reduced to a mere itinerary, positioning the act of travel as an interpretive exercise rather than a conquest of foreign space.
