The Future of Travel
A leading food and travel journalist depicts and predicts the good, the bad, and the ugly about the future of travel -- and how we can transcend the complications of climate change, AI, and touristification . . . Travel is easier, more accessible, and more tempting than ever before in today's world. But what impact is our globetrotting having on localcommunities and the environment? From his own experiences spending time in countries from Spain to Argentina to Japan, travel writer Daniel Maurer has seen first-hand the impact of growing cultural homogenization and anger at the tourists driving it. Speaking to locals and immigrants, activists and protestors, he hears of the problems of rising living costs, overcrowding, anti-social behaviour and the erosion of local traditions and ways of life caused by overtourism. Some cities already have plans in place to combat it, including tourist taxes, carbon emission targets and airbnb bans, and in the coming years, more will take drastic measures to tackle not only a flood of tourists but of a growing worldwide workforce of "location-independent professionals." Technological advances are also changing the way we interact with the world, and the future promises amazing things from flying cars to VRheadsets to AI travel influencers and chatbots. But there's a constant battle between technology making things more easily accessible, and theneed to reduce human impact on the world. What choices might we make when it comes to travelling in the future, and can we become more impact-conscious, making more sustainable andthoughtful decisions?

Zorba's Parthenon.
In the sleepy Greek fishing village of Telios, life moves at its own pace, somewhere between "ma簽ana" and "maybe next month." But when the village's beloved taverna is forced to close under a ludicrous new "Five-Metre Rule," peace by the sea suddenly becomes a battle for the soul of the community.Peter Barber and his gloriously Greek wife, Alex, came to Telios in search of tranquillity and found everything but. At the heart of their adopted village stood Zorba's Taverna. A ramshackle haven of gossip, grilled sardines, and arguments that always ended with laughter (and too much tsipouro). When bureaucracy shutters its doors, Alex leads a hilariously improbable mission to reopen it as a cooperative, recruiting an unforgettable cast: Theodora the matriarch, Dimitri the philosopher-fisherman, Maria the gossip oracle, Claude the poetic Frenchman, and one mischievous goat with a sense of entitlement.As the villagers rally, bicker, and bake their way through inspections, storms, and each other, Zorba's Parthenon becomes a love letter to Greece itself, a place where everything works, just not the way you expect.Blending memoir and comic fiction, Peter Barber's latest book captures the heart, humour, and humanity of Greek village life: its beauty, its madness, and the impossible charm that keeps you coming back.If it didn't happen this way, it should have.

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
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.

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.
