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...

North Africa And The Desert Scenes And Moods
North Africa and the desert: Scenes and moods presents a meditative exploration of landscape, culture, and history across parts of North Africa. Blending travel narrative with cultural reflection, the author offers impressions of daily life, religious celebrations, architecture, and the natural environment. Through a series of loosely connected scenes, the work reflects on the contrast between the stillness of the desert and the vivid activity of urban life. Ancient history and spiritual traditions serve as a backdrop to contemporary observations, allowing for deeper reflection on the enduring influence of place. The book avoids a strict chronological structure, focusing instead on emotional responses, atmospheric details, and visual impressions. The author s engagement with the region is contemplative, often drawing attention to the subtle interactions between people and their surroundings. Through these observations, the book offers insight into how environment, history, and culture interweave to shape human experience. It is less concerned with documenting events and more intent on capturing the mood and essence of a region that leaves a lasting imprint on the traveler s imagination.

Cabo Verde
The new, thoroughly updated eighth edition of Bradt's Cabo Verde (Cape Verde) remains the most detailed and extensive English-language guidebook available to this alluring Atlantic archipelago, described by some as 'Africa light'. Stable and peaceful, quietly isolated by its mid-Atlantic location, malaria-free and with year-round sun, Cabo Verde's appeal to independent travellers is a natural one - with its unique island geography making it something of an adventure to navigate beyond the more conventional single-island visit of the increasing numbers of package tourists. The archipelago is diverse, particularly in terms of its tourist infrastructure. Sal and Boavista, the oldest of these volcanic islands, boast white-sand beaches that rival those anywhere in the world, and are complemented by dream windsurfing and kitesurfing opportunities, courtesy of strong breezes and powerful Atlantic waves. Consequently, these two islands attract 95% of Cape Verde's visitors, leaving the other seven inhabited islands undeveloped - and awaiting discovery. Hikers, music-fans and those curious to experience something more authentically Cabo Verdean are drawn to these seven islands. Lace up your walking boots to trek amid the jaw-dropping mountainous landscapes of Fogo or Santo Ant瓊o. Or take time out in tiny Brava or mellow Maio. Or let your internal culture-vulture revel in the fusion of African, Portuguese and Brazilian influences that courses through the cities of Praia and Mindelo, with their constant backdrop of seductive music (or February's raucous carnival) - the aural thread that ties together these islands scattered across the mid-Atlantic. Although Sal and Boavista's all-inclusives dominate the tourist market, they are increasingly joined by small, independently owned eco-lodges across all islands, complemented by an upswing in the quality and accessibility of traditional pens瓊o and homestays. Throw in coffee and wine, and an authentic culture of organic food, and you have a recipe for well-catered relaxation. So, whether you are an Africa afficionado or an ecotourist looking for nesting loggerhead turtles and unusual birds, a digital nomad enticed by long-stay visas or a member of the USA's sizeable Cabo Verdean diaspora, Bradt's Cabo Verde provides the perfect guide to getting the most out of these unexpectedly rewarding islands.

Lost in Tokyo
Tokyo. The world's largest metropolis is startlingly creative and rigorously traditional, spotlessly organized and crazily confusing, soaked in ancient history and perpetually on the cusp. Everything imaginable is collected in one vertiginous metropolis: from a galaxy of Michelin stars to stellar street food, cosplay wackiness to catwalk winners, and pleasure services so left field they've even left the field. But the dense metropolis has a quieter side in its alleyways and hidden corners. Its interiors hold a million surprises: a classy piano bar can be on the 8th floor above a fetish club, and heavenly yakiniku three floors below ground. In a city with more than 80,000 restaurants a complete guide is impossible. But an insider's introduction will begin to unlock the wild mysteries of the Japanese capital. This second edition of the Tokyo city guide maintains all of our best interviews and stories from our first edition, while adding updated recommendations, additional interview content, and a new, original short story from celebrated British author and Tokyo resident Pip Murphy. Some local legends shared their side of the city: an arthouse filmmaker, the lady behind a famous fashion brand, a nightlife veteran and a top food critic. A feature exploring the vanished world of the yakuza is accompanied by an original short story exploring the juxtaposition of old and new. Get lost in the sights, sounds and flavours of the city. Get lost in Tokyo. WHAT'S INSIDE Blowtorched mackerel, upscale downtown baths, shopping malls for supergeeks, gourmet chicken skewers, raw beef sushi, art in a shipping container and a story of anime sento... Get lost in the city of neon lights and cherry blossoms. Includes: * 5 long-form interviews with celebrated locals on their relationship with Tokyo and their absolute favorite spots there * A selection of the hottest places to visit in two of the city's most charismatic neighbourhoods * A selection of our top picks for the entire city * An in-depth report on the infamous Yakuza and their link to Tokyo * An enigmatic photo showcase by Masataka Nakano * Shopping guide
