It is one of the world'slongest and widest rivers-sustaining entire civilizations and agrarian systems.Alongside, its unmatched fury has destroyed human overreach for centuries.In River Traveller, veteran journalist and writer Sanjoy Hazarika makes epicjourneys down the mighty river and describes all of this-and more. In his travels spanning over two decades, Hazarika gets to know the riverintimately, and brings both a journalist's eye for reportage and a writer's finesensibility to his descriptions of places, people and events, and his accounts ofthe river's historical burden. He describes a Tibet that is trying to hold on to its cultural legacy in the faceof Chinese rule and the land's exploitation for its resources. He recountsstories of explorers, spymasters and map-makers who discovered the route ofthe river. Travelling with the river in Tibet, Arunachal Pradesh, Assam andBangladesh, he notes the changing face of the expansive waterbody. Makinghistorical connections with conquerors and colonialists, studying naturaldisasters, and minutely observing the contemporary lives of people, he createsa narrative as majestic as his subject. From extremism to environmental responsibility, politics toethnography, River Traveller touches on a multitude of subjects, and is anenduring study of human life and natural history. It is a rich and memorableportrait of one of the mightiest rivers on our planet.
The River of Diamonds
From NY Times and International bestselling author Geoffrey Jenkins comes a thrill-packed suspense novel that runs through the middle of hell.The quest for diamonds is one of the most dramatic, adventurous and dangerous of man's endeavors. It has brought out the best and worst in him. And dredging diamonds from the ocean floor is at the heart of one of these daring prospecting enterprises - for it not only hinges on malevolent natural forces but on the human obstacle of a mystery man named Shelborne.Shelborne was headman on Mercury Island, the bleak guano-covered point of storms off the South African coast, near which diamond company's ships were based. To John Tregard, surveyor for the mining operation, Shelborne was an implacable enemy, who put up road blocks at his every turn and seemingly was the keeper of the region's secrets.Why did the volcanic rumblings around Mercury Island kill animals and men but never endanger Shelborne? What was the secret to an underwater cavern given the named the Glory Hole, where a diver died instantaneously? What did the blazing Namib desert, miles inland, have to do with diamonds in the sea and why did Shelborne lure Tregard there, to the very edge of destruction?Shelborne's enigmatic and erratic behavior leads Tregard through a series of curious adventures and narrow escapes that sets back the diamond venture and compounds the mystery further. The outcome is a total surprise, a feat of plotting all the more satisfying because everything that has gone before is one surprise capping another.

Arctic
This extensively updated fifth edition of Bradt's The Arctic is an engagingly written and beautifully illustrated full-colour guidebook to some of the world's most exciting wildlife. Designed with expedition-cruise passengers in mind, it is an ideal companion both on board and ashore, providing fascinating accounts of the most likely animals and plants to be seen - from polar bears and beluga whales to snowy owls and snow buttercups. Only a small number of hardy and evocative creatures - including narwhals, walruses and Ross's gulls - call the Arctic their year-round home. But come summer, the region explodes with life as plankton and plants flourish to support a massive population of fish, seabirds and whales, all taking advantage of seasonal abundance before retreating south to avoid the ice. For these few short months of almost endless daylight, the coastal Arctic - from Greenland to Svalbard, Alaska to the Bering Sea - offers a parade of wildlife delights. On a typical Arctic expedition cruise, you might marvel at walruses lounging on rocks or scan for harp seals bobbing in icy water. Watch Arctic foxes sniffing out goose eggs and gawp at the torrent of dovekies flooding to cliffside breeding colonies. Keep your eyes peeled for polar bears and ivory gulls on ice floes, for the bushy blow that heralds a humpback whale or for a flash of white that signifies a beluga whale. Packed with fascinating natural histories that bring to life star species, and freshly updated throughout, The Arctic is a timely celebration of polar nature in an era when climate change is profoundly affecting extreme northern latitudes. Written by Tony Soper (who died in 2024), former expert expedition leader and founder of the BBC Natural History Unit, illustrated with full-colour watercolour paintings from award-winning wildlife artist Dan Powell, and updated by naturalist and award-winning travel writer James Lowen, this fifth edition is packed with fascinating insights into the natural history of Arctic wildlife, its narrative bringing to life the creatures that visitors are likely to encounter. An eminently portable guidebook, Bradt's The Arctic is the ideal companion for anyone exploring the far north.

The Transplantable Roots of Catharine Huws Nagashima
Foreword by Lord Gregory Mostyn. Since the first ' Welch' sailor set foot on Japanese shores in the seventeenth century to the present-day presence of high-tech Japanese companies in the Valleys, Wales and Japan are two nations with deeply entwined roots. Captured in this groundbreaking book is a chorus of modern-day Welsh migrants to Japan. There is Catharine who, in 1965, followed her Japanese husband to an ' out of kilter' house in the seaside town of Zushi; Jack, the ' capitalist ski bum', who guides tourists through the bear-infested wilds of snowy Hokkaido, while on a volcanic island in the Seto Inland Sea, Simon clears jungle vines to develop his vegan farm. There are also actors, writers, teachers, an ex-bouncer turned martial artist, a filmmaker, a games localiser, and many more. There are even Japanese fans who promote Welsh culture in their homeland. Together they form a polyphonic group portrait based on oral-history techniques, mixing travel writing, character study and reportage, while proving an ear for natural speech.
Quicker Than Walking
My previous two books, Go Away and Mostly Fun, have described the pleasures and pitfalls of travelling solo, travel with a partner, and group travel. In my latest effort, Quicker Than Walking, I've added a fourth option - travels with imaginary friends. But these aren't just any old invented souls, dragged from the dark recesses of my mind. I was accompanied, in my head, by some of the greats of literature. I checked in for my flight to Bangkok with non-other than Henry Miller for a travelling companion. I took early morning walks, once I'd found the beach, in Hua Hin with Franz Kafka. And I had a massage with D.H. Lawrence himself. Soon though, my heroes left me to my own reality. In Bangkok, I was happy enough in my own company. Then on to Hong Kong and mainland China, where my nephew took on the role of translator and tour guide. Eventually, I was back in the saddle exploring the delights of hilly Northern Thailand - an e-bike helped me here. Sweating the lowlands of the south - beer my only solace.
A Return to Self
A blend of travelog and memoir spanning from Turkey to Mexico, exploring Aatish Taseer's uniquely blended identity and asking: Why do certain cities become epicenters of great historical shifts and sites of unpredictable communities? In 2019, the government of Prime Minister Narenda Modi revoked Aatish Taseer's Indian citizenship, thereby exiling him from the country where he grew up and lived for thirty years. This loss, both practical and spiritual, sent him on a journey of revisiting the places that formed his identity, and asking broader questions about the complex forces that make a culture and a nationality, in the process. In Istanbul, he confronts the hopes and ambitions of his former self. In Uzbekistan, he sees how what was once the majestic portal of the Silk Road is now a tourist fa癟ade. In India, he explores why Buddhism, which originated there, is so little practiced. Everywhere he goes, the ancient world mixes intimately with the contemporary: with the influences of the pandemic, the rise of new food cultures, and the ongoing cultural battles of regions around the world. How do centuries of cultures evolving and overlapping, often violently, shape the people that subsequently emerge from them? In thoughtful prose that combines reportage with romanticism, Taseer casts an incisive eye at what it means to belong to a place that becomes an unstable, politicized vessel for ideas defined by exclusion and prejudice, and gets to the human heart of the shifts and migrations that define our multicultural world.

Frommer's Japan

We use seasoned, locally-based journalists like David McElhinney, who lives in Japan, and has been published widely, covering the country's extraordinary culinary and arts scenes, including manga and anime; Japanese history and religious traditions; jazz bars; onsens; and more.

Morocco
In his new photo book, Fokion Zissiadis takes us on a visual journey through fascinating Morocco. Following his impressive publications on Iceland, Vietnam, and Greenland, he now presents an authentic and holistic view of a country that harmoniously combines scenic landscapes, rich history, and traditions. The book, splendidly equipped with a high-quality linen cover and exquisite paper change, not only offers fascinating content, but is also presented in a generous XXL format - a true work of art for any coffee table. Through exceptional photography, Zissiadis captures the ephemeral beauty of the historic ruins of Volubilis, the imposing colours of the "Blue City" of Chefchaouen and the vibrant dynamics of the markets in Fez, Had Draa and Rissani, among others. Zissiadis has developed a remarkable sense of space and aesthetics through his architectural studies in Philadelphia. In his book "Morocco", he succeeds in sensitively depicting the country's contrasts - from the tranquility of the desert to the vibrant atmosphere of the cities. His respectful approach to people and cultures lends this illustrated book a special authenticity.Experience the diversity and richness of Morocco through the lens of an artist dedicated to adventurous travel and true-to-life photography. This work is more than just an illustrated book - it is an invitation to capture the spirit of Morocco.
