Waiting for the Rains
Waiting for the Rains is an autobiography of Roger J. Barton about life in Africa. He lived and worked in Malawi and Zambia from the 1970s onwards and has visited the continent over many years. The book is colour illustrated, and a quality production. It covers all facits of life and is suitable for both the academic and interested layman. It is divided into chapters covering separate topics. This includes the following: transport by bus, minibus, train, lake steamer, climate, rains and dry season, travel, living in isolated areas, dealing with beauacracy, crossing borders, insect and animal life, village life, working conditions, people and politics, expatriate life. All accessible separately and individually. There is enough information to enable any reader to feel they understand so much more about Africa. The description of the terrain and savannah landscapes makes you feel as though you have actually been there. The author travelled widely by bus, train, lake steamer, truck and even ordinary car. Countries covered include not only Malawi and Zambia where he worked, but South Africa, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Tanzania, Kenya and Ethiopia. The author was not like a foreign correspondent, flown in for short coverage. He was a contract based expatriate staying for several years at a time. Therefore always close to the people and observing them at work and play. While in Zambia the author was near to the conflicts raging in the local wars of independence. The material is documented while displaying a balanced commentary of events. Whether you want to feel the force of rain or the trauma of a minibus journey through one of the largest cities, it is all here.

Uzbekistan
Written by Central Asian expert and experienced travel writer Sophie Ibbotson, who is Uzbekistan's Tourism Ambassador to the UK, this new, fully updated fourth edition of Bradt's Uzbekistan remains the definitive practical travel guide to an increasingly liberal destination - Central Asia's most populous country and the heart of the Silk Road - offering more detail for independent travellers than any other guidebook, sharing first-hand descriptions of everything from UNESCO World Heritage sites and the world's best collection of Soviet avant-garde art, to riding across deserts by camel and cooking plov (lamb pilaf). A perfect spring or autumn destination, Uzbekistan is unexpectedly packed with diverse experiences, from the Silk Road cities of Bukhara and Khiva to glorious Islamic architecture. Explore the Kyzylkum Desert by camel, ski amid the western Tian Shan mountains, overnight by the Aral Sea to search for the bizarre saiga antelope, visit 50 ancient Khorezm fortresses in Karakalpakstan, or gawp at Registan's unmissable sound and light show. Stroll through Bukhara's old town then take tea at chaikhana teahouse or shop in the Chorsu bazaar, trade's beating heart in Tashkent. Or marvel at medieval tiled tombs in Shah-I Zinda and the magnificent 19th-century palace of Kokand ruler Khudayar Khan. It has never been easier to explore this fascinating country. Over the past decade, Uzbekistan's new reformist government has been strengthening its tourism offer, including improving infrastructure and reducing bureaucracy, culminating in it hosting a World Tourist Organisation conference in 2023 and initiating a new $300 million tourism strategy for 2030. Complemented by the author's 2023 Bradt guide to Karakalpakstan, this new edition reflects post-COVID 19 investments in tourism infrastructure, and provides more detailed economic and political insights. Entirely new elements include Amirsoy resort, Zarafshan nature reserve, Lower Amudarya Biosphere Reserve and Shirin ecovillage, while there is expanded coverage of Tashkent hotels, museums and shopping; Navoi tour operators; and new hotels in Khiva. Whether you're interested in culture, trekking, historical sites, archaeology and architecture, seeing endless deserts or majestic mountainscapes, or fascinated by the Golden Road to Samarkand and Silk Road cities, Bradt's Uzbekistan is your ideal travel companion.
