Canada from the Wild Side
"The dear forest home which I had loved in spite of all the hardships which we had endured since we pitched our tent in the backwoods. It was the birthplace of my three boys, the school of high resolve and energetic action in which we had learned to meet calmly and successfully to battle with the ills of life." Take a moment and imagine moving from the crowded and busy streets of London to the widely undiscovered Canadian outback - not today but in 1832. In her autobiographical novel, Canada From the Wild Side, Susanna Moodie (1803-1885) allows us to get an insight into the life of an English settler in Canada, which is filled with experiences of beautiful nature and hard work, prejudices and friendships, homesickness and familiarisation. Her collection of sketches, embellished with detailed descriptions, takes you along on an individual journey and guides you through her settler experience, allowing you to leave your assumptions behind and time travel to the early eighteen hundreds.

美国真相：一个中国记者对美国的观察与思考
公元2008年5月31日至6月21日，我受美国国务院邀请，作为美国"国际访问者"项目的一员，对美国进行了为期三周的访问。这是一次令人愉悦的访问，也是我四十年人生历程中重要的一个片段。 美国"国际访问者"计划是美国国务院主办的一个民间文化交流项目，参加者主要是世界各国的一些中层专业人员。据悉，当今世界的一些党政要员以及其他知名人士都曾作为该项目的访问者去过美国。该项目1980年在中国开始实行，现在每年约有60位中国学者应邀访美。 访问期间，我同美国各界人士进行了广泛的接触。他们中既有坚守新闻自由的媒体记者，也有负有学养的智库学者；既有兢兢业业的政府官员，也有为民排忧解难的议员助手；既有思想活跃的学生，也有充满智慧的教授；既有在贫穷时不放弃追求的艺术家，也有无私奉献的志愿者。当然，更多的是那些对现状不满却又自得其乐的普通民众。 呈现给大家的这本书，就是我对美国的观察、思考、体会和认识，我力求给人们还愿一个我眼中的真实的美国。
The Deepest South of All
Bestselling travel writer Richard Grant "sensitively probes the complex and troubled history of the oldest city on the Mississippi River through the eyes of a cast of eccentric and unexpected characters" (Newsweek). Natchez, Mississippi, once had more millionaires per capita than anywhere else in America, and its wealth was built on slavery and cotton. Today it has the greatest concentration of antebellum mansions in the South, and a culture full of unexpected contradictions. Prominent white families dress up in hoopskirts and Confederate uniforms for ritual celebrations of the Old South, yet Natchez is also progressive enough to elect a gay black man for mayor with 91% of the vote. Much as John Berendt did for Savannah in Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil and the hit podcast S-Town did for Woodstock, Alabama, so Richard Grant does for Natchez in The Deepest South of All. With humor and insight, he depicts a strange, eccentric town with an unforgettable cast of characters. There's Buzz Harper, a six-food-five gay antique dealer famous for swanning around in a mink coat with a uniformed manservant and a very short German bodybuilder. There's Ginger Hyland, "The Lioness," who owns 500 antique eyewash cups and decorates 168 Christmas trees with her jewelry collection. And there's Nellie Jackson, a Cadillac-driving brothel madam who became an FBI informant about the KKK before being burned alive by one of her customers. Interwoven through these stories is the more somber and largely forgotten account of Abd al Rahman Ibrahima, a West African prince who was enslaved in Natchez and became a cause c矇l癡bre in the 1820s, eventually gaining his freedom and returning to Africa. With an "easygoing manner" (Geoff Dyer, National Book Critics Circle Award-winning author of Otherwise Known as the Human Condition), this book offers a gripping portrait of a complex American place, as it struggles to break free from the past and confront the legacy of slavery.

A doorway to the early north, a lyric map of ice, coastlines, and the human heart. Alaska, The Great Country gathers Ella Higginson's nation-tilting verse into a fresh light, inviting readers to walk the edge of a vast, untamed landscape. This poetry collection illuminates frontier life and the Alaska landscape with a precise, musical attention to nature imagery and the rhythms of the pacific coast.

The poems' clarity and lyric depth make it accessible to casual readers while still rewarding careful study.

The Englishwoman in America
A curious heart meets a wide, unfolding continent. Isabella Bird's Englishwoman in America stamps a fearless footprint on nineteenth-century travel writing, inviting readers to see the young republic through a keen, observant Englishwoman's eye. This volume is more than a memoir of crossing oceans and states; it is a lucid, humane study of people, places, and manners as they collide and transform. Bird's pen moves with wit and restraint, turning everyday scenes into portraits-of towns, roads, schools, parlours, and the evolving social sphere-while quietly challenging assumptions about gender, class, and opportunity. The result is a vivid travel narrative that reads with the accessibility of a letter from a friend and the rigor of a field journal. Historically significant for its precise testimony on American society during a pivotal era, the book offers scholars and curious readers alike a window into cross-continental exchange-an English perspective on a rapidly changing America. Its tone blends admiration with scrutiny, warmth with measured critique, making it equally engaging for casual readers and classic-literature collectors. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, this edition is restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint, it is a collector's item and a cultural treasure-cementing its place in victorian travelogue and the canon of women travel writing for academic library audiences and discerning readers alike.

Haunted U.S. Battlefields
Do places where violent deaths occur somehow absorb the horror, only to conjure up images that haunt the living for generations to come? Many people believe that this can indeed happen; above all, in the context of that manmade phenomenon that reaps so great a toll in so short a time: War. Haunted U.S. Battlefields takes us on a spine-tingling tour of America's most legendary spectral scenes of human struggle-from the Revolutionary War to the Civil War, from the Indian Wars to World War II and beyond. As America's bloodiest conflict, the Civil War has yielded the greatest number of ghostly sightings. Hence, most of the twenty-five battlefield legends this book relates are from this era-whether the myriad strange spectral happenings associated with Gettysburg, or this war's lesser known but equally tragic events. Summing up the eerie essence of wartime scenes across America-many of which today host popular ghost tours-Haunted U.S. Battlefields is a must for students of the paranormal, Civil War buffs, and all others interested in a spine-chilling realm of military history that the history books don't dare tell.

Goodbye Hoop Skirts - Hello World!
The life story of travel writer Mary Moore Mason is an unusual, colorful and sometimes hilarious account of adventures and upheavals, creativity and tenacity. The descendant of a courageous survivor of American Indian captivity, Mary Moore was brought up as a potential (if ultimately rebellious) Southern Belle in the racially segregated American South. She maneuvered her way into the previously all-male newsroom of a Virginia newspaper dedicated to the preservation of racial segregation - and then regularly attended mixed-race parties. She flew to Paris to reignite a summer romance with a handsome young Frenchman - and then decamped with his Sicilian-American friend to become a travel writer in Athens. She then moved in the late 1960s to "Swinging London" where she eventually married a trendy photographer known for his photos of the Beatles and such iconic American jazz musicians as Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington - and helped rescue him from two misadventures. She traveled the world writing about places as diverse as Thailand, Kenya and Oman, became a pioneer in the promotion - via airlines and tourist boards - of transatlantic travel to the USA, launched the first UK travel magazines exclusively covering North America - today she remains the editor of "Essentially America" - and was elected the first American chairman of the British Guild of Travel Writers. Not only were there triumphs but also traumas ... some may make you laugh out loud.
