Thrilling Cities
A CAPTIVATING JOURNEY AROUND THE WORLD FROM THE CREATOR OF JAMES BONDIan Fleming's world travels and interests, as well as his journalism and wartime experiences, lent authority to everything he wrote. In 1959, the Sunday Times commissioned Fleming to write a series of dispatches from the world's most beguiling locales. The result was Thrilling Cities, a masterpiece of well-observed travelogue that stands ably alongside the author's Bond canon.From Hong Kong to Honolulu, New York to Naples, he left the bright main streets for the back alleys, abandoning tourist sites in favor of underground haunts, and mingling with celebrities, gangsters and geishas. The result is a series of vivid snapshots of a mysterious, vanished world from a twentieth century Western perspective.Just like his most famous fictional creation, Ian Fleming was a well-traveled man of the world who knew where to go to find excitement, adventure...and danger. In Thrilling Cities, he takes us along on a journey of international intrigue worthy of James Bond.

Lost in Ibiza
Ibiza. An island synonymous with celebrity DJs, superclubs and rowdy Ryanair flights. But to stop at the dancefloor is to miss the creative current that powered it in the first place. For nearly a century, the island has served as a beacon for artistic minds. Before the beats came the Beatniks, hippies and free thinkers who claimed this rock as a refuge for the radical. DJ residencies might reign, but the pillars of the community stretch across creative lines, from culinary innovators and street artists to indie retailers and designers, all surrounded by stunning natural beauty. LOST iN is your ticket to the real Ibiza where you'll party with pop surrealists, sip cocktails in a cave, wear threads from a gypsy truck, swim in hidden sea coves and add your tag to the graffiti-bombed ruins of a former superclub. You'll even step back in time with a '70s hippie archive and local legends that speak of Atlantis and a rock that beckons UFOs. To the world, Ibiza is a party. To those in the know, Ibiza is a living legacy, and you can help write its next chapter. Be bold. Be curious. Get lost on the island that can't be tamed.

The Rough, the Smooth and the Quirky
In a world grappling with complexity and contradiction, The Rough, the Smooth and the Quirky: Poems for a Complicated World by Oxford-based Anglo-Scottish poet John Webster offers a bold and lyrical response. This compelling collection ventures into contested terrain, guided by the belief that poetry can illuminate difficult truths and foster meaningful dialogue.From a pointed call for Keir Starmer to apologise to Rosie Duffield over the gender debate, to a Shakespearean rebuke of Osama Bin Laden, and a chilling reflection on grooming gang psychology drawn from a 1970s visit to Pakistan - Webster's verses confront uncomfortable realities with wit, insight, and moral clarity. The section Words on the Woke delivers sharp, satirical takes on contemporary identity politics, while No Such Thing as Infidel explores the historical and modern tensions between Islam and the West, suggesting paths toward mutual understanding. In Stanzas on Ukraine, Webster lends poetic solidarity to the Ukrainian struggle, culminating in Ukraine Dreamin', a poignant imagining of reconciliation through the eyes of a Russian dissenter.Yet the collection is not solely political. The opening suite, Ties of the Heart, delves into themes of mental health, mortality, and enduring friendship, with tributes to figures such as Benjamin Zephaniah, John Martyn, E.P. Thompson, Mary Shelley, and the poet's own father. Travel-inspired poems offer vivid glimpses into the world's rich diversity and human experience. Webster's imaginative reach extends to fables where Hitler is spooked by a preminition of The Beatles' Yellow Submarine, and Lord Byron shares reflections with Joe Biden on Afghanistan and the Greek War of Independence. The final section contemplates the personal impact of globalisation, closing with meditative verses that invite reflection and renewal.Written in fluid, rhyming couplets, these poems "tell it like it is" - candid yet compassionate, provocative yet hopeful. The Rough, the Smooth and the Quirky is a literary tonic for turbulent times, inviting readers to laugh, think, and feel their way through the chaos of the modern world.Author's website: www.johnmwebster.co.uk

Hilsen fra Daniele, Greetings Norway is a vivid, heartfelt travelogue that captures the wonder of rediscovery-of Norway, of long-lost friends, and of oneself.Written in a warm, personal voice, Hilsen fra Daniele, Greetings Norway is more than a collection of travel notes; it's a deeply human narrative that blends memoir, cultural exploration, and personal reflection. Sparked by a challenge to complete a first draft during National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo), this work traces a solo journey of nearly 3,000 miles across the breathtaking landscapes of Norway-from the remote beauty of Senja Island to the sweeping majesty of the Lofoten islands, the peaceful serenity of Namsskogan, and the stillness of Lake Reinunga.At its heart, this is a story of reconnection-with four Norwegian friends the author hadn't seen in over twenty years, with the powerful and unpredictable beauty of nature, and with a creative spark that had long gone dim. What begins as a trip fueled by nostalgia and curiosity, transforms into an emotionally rich adventure full of unexpected moments, missteps, and moments of awe. Traveling solo for the first time in decades, the author turns his car into a moving home-a space for reflection, rest, and resilience as he faces not only winding mountain roads but the internal terrain of doubt, joy, and renewal.Blending vivid descriptions, thoughtful insights, and relatable humor, this book offers readers a front seat to the emotional rollercoaster of heights and lows of stepping away from routine and diving into the unknown. Hilsen fra Daniele, Greetings Norway is for anyone who's ever longed to return to a place that shaped them-or to find out what happens when you follow that longing.Perfect for fans of reflective travel writing, cross-cultural connection, and stories of second chances, Hilsen fra Daniele, Greetings Norway invites readers to slow down, look inward, and rediscover the world-and themselves-with fresh eyes.

This new, thoroughly updated fifth edition of Bradt's Greece: The Peloponnese with Athens, Delphi and Kythira remains the only dedicated guidebook to the southern part of the Greek mainland. It provides more detailed coverage than any other guide, making it indispensable for independent and group travelers visiting a fascinating area smaller than New Jersey. It also incorporates focused mini-guides to the Greek capital of Athens and the nearby world-famous site of Delphi. The Peloponnese contains a huge diversity of cultural landscapes, from sleepy, white-washed villages to Byzantine churches, medieval fortresses and ancient archaeological sites such as Olympia and Mycenae. In addition to a long Mediterranean coast lined with classic white sandy beaches, the peninsula incorporates towering mountains for hiking and skiing, olive groves which produce the finest fruit, and hillsides covered in flowers. For those eagerly awaiting the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, Olympia in the Peloponnese was the Olympic Games' original home. Bradt's Greece: The Peloponnese with Athens, Delphi and Kythira provides in-depth coverage of well-known sites, including one of Europe's most spectacular train journeys and the tower houses of Mani. Such information is complemented by descriptions of lesser-known attractions often ignored by other books. Those visiting outside of high season revel in spring wildflowers, late autumn's olive harvest and winter skiing. Birds and marine life are also huge attractions. The guide also focuses on the colorful life of the paneyiri (traditional festivals) and the Greek spirit of philoxenia (hospitality). The guide is packed with information on independent tours and activities, secluded villages and sophisticated towns, agritourism spots, camping under the stars, rustic tavernas and locally grown produce - all reflecting that the Peloponnese, more than anywhere else in Greece, exemplifies the ideals of 'slow travel'. Originally written by Andrew Bostock, a former resident of the Peloponnese, this fifth edition has been updated by travel writer and Greece expert Mike Gerrard. New elements include refreshed hotel and restaurant listings, and details of new or upgraded museums such as the Epigraphic Museum (in Argos) and archaeological museums in Argos, Sparta and on the site of Ancient Messene.

Northern Ireland
New from prolific travel-guide author Tim Burford is Bradt's Northern Ireland, the longest and widest-ranging standalone guide to the country. A British-governed part of the island of Ireland that comprises six of the original nine counties of Ulster, there is nowhere in Europe quite like Northern Ireland. From great city breaks to scenic coastal drives, it offers visitors immense variety in a compact package. Belfast has developed an enticing reputation as an urban destination, with fine pubs, restaurants, music and museums - and Derry/Londonderry isn't far behind. The Atlantic Ocean coast of Antrim is renowned for its land- and seascapes, culminating at the amazing Giants Causeway, where forty thousand interlocking basalt columns thrust upwards from the sea. Games of Thrones aficionados can visit both locations and the studio complex in Bambridge. The edible produce of land and sea is justly famous, not to mention the whiskey: why not try a double Bushmills in the tiny Mary McBride's Bar in Cushendun, which measures just 9 feet by 5. As many as one in eleven Americans has Ulster ancestry or family connections, including 18 Presidents (such as Teddy Roosevelt, Wilson, Truman, Nixon, Carter, both Bushes, Clinton and Obama). This makes a visit to the Ulster American Folk Park near Omagh, which describes the origins of a key early immigrant groups to the United States, unmissable. There are prehistoric relics, grand country houses (such as Mountstewart and Castle Ward), a range of churches (including St Gobban's, which is barely bigger than Mary McBride's Bar) plus Downpatrick cathedral (where St Patrick, patron saint of Ireland, is buried), famous golf courses (Royal Portrush and Royal County Down) and striking monuments of the industrial age, most famously the shipyard where RMS Titanic was built. Even the legacy of the Troubles is being reassessed, including through black-taxi tours of Belfast's Republican and Loyalist murals. Perhaps best of all, this fabulous diversity is packed into a country where you can travel from one side to the other within a couple of hours.
