Bermuda Bound: From London to Paradise by P. M. Lane (39 Reviews)    Price verified 3 hours ago

Forget a year in Provence, try living on a tiny island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean for four years. Bermuda Bound is a personal account of living and working on the beautiful island of Bermuda. The book relates encounters with modern day pirates, sea monsters, raging Atlantic storms, colourful local characters and suicidal tourists, against a remote background of incredible beauty in the western Atlantic. Gone are grey skies, wintry nights and miserable people to be replaced by blue skies, exquisite colonial architecture, colourful characters and tall swaying palm trees. Bermuda with its four hundred year history of pirates, smugglers, rum runners and ship wrecks is England's oldest colonial outpost, a sub-tropical haven where the modern world comes face to face with old ways and customs to form a unique blend of history, tradition and development, which is the very essence of Bermuda. Bermuda's beautiful beaches, exquisite lagoons and stunning scenery are all depicted together with colourful local characters, like the man who spends each morning smiling and waving at commuters in order to brighten the days of the vibrant Bermudian people. Read of scuba diving expeditions on pristine reefs and explorations of old shipwrecks lost in violent storms, of sport fishing trips to capture giant silver sea monsters, of colonial architecture and ornate pastel painted buildings hundreds of years old and of a modern paradise isolated in the Atlantic Ocean by hundreds of miles of shifting sea. Disappear into the Bermuda Triangle with Bermuda Bound. Download your copy Now!!! Note - Bermuda is not in the Caribbean nor is it a single island but an archipelago of over one hundred and eighty islands, most connected by bridges and causeways to form one landmass.

Found, Lost, Paved and Sunk: Paradise by Jay Maclean (12 Reviews)    Price verified 35 minutes ago

Where is paradise on earth? Somewhere far from the maddening crowds, the cold, the politics, work, of course. People have been searching for their paradise for centuries, even before taxation was invented. The stories of those who wrote about their exploits often reveal more about themselves than the nature of the paradises they sought and sometimes found. Did you know that Sir Walter Raleigh was the world's first pusher of paradise real estate? Or that among the explorers of tropical paradises, the infamous Captain Bligh of the Bounty was quite humane and considerate? Or that Captain James Cook was the first westerner to get a tropical, full body massage -- and was pretty coy about describing it? That the original Shangri-La paradise was a mix of ascetic monks on top of a Tibetan mountain and a tropical village of loose women at its foot? That Thor Heyerdahl and his first wife honeymooned for a whole year in a remote tropical paradise, leading to his Polynesian migration theory and the Kon Tiki expedition? Found, Lost, Paved and Sunk: Paradise explores the mind set of artists, beachcombers, colonial administrators, developers, explorers, hermits, missionaries, mutineers, philosophers, scientists and writers, not to mention the native residents who were already living in the paradises they sometimes describe. Learn about the mechanics and problems of living in a paradise, dealing with neighbors both onshore and offshore, housing, water, and health. Learn about the fate of paradises under colonialism and climate change. Learn also about the opinions of other animals and plants; where is their paradise? The world is changing irreversibly. Where and how does paradise fit into its future? And finally, what does it all really mean? Found, Lost, Paved and Sunk: Paradise tells all. The book is punctuated with tongue-in-cheek tips for paradise seekers but is entirely factual and extensively referenced with about 200 sources, from exploits of early explorers and ...

The Chalk Shore by R Parkes (1 Review)    Price verified 3 hours ago

Where can you find the tallest sea cliffs in the UK - a glorious wall of chalk so high film-makers use it as a double for the White Cliffs of Dover. Where do colonies of seals exist in relative obscurity, or up to 50 sharks cruise close to one of the most popular holiday beaches on the South coast? Where can you view a scene so beautiful it inspired the theme tune to Desert Island Discs? Where is 'the most boring place in the world' or the (possibly) sunniest place in the UK? The Sussex coast -- a place of persistent contrasts, where the first town in the country to elect a fascist, sits next to a City once described as 'tolerance by the sea'. A place where the 'wickedest man in the world' was the first to climb the cliffs where an Anglican Parson once excavated rooms in the chalk to save ship-wrecked sailors from drowning.Invaded by Romans, Normans, Mods, retirees, holiday-makers and the devotees of numerous alternative lifestyles -- 'all loose things tend to drift down to the sea, and so did I'. Members of the oldest swimming club in the country still take a daily dip in the sea here. It is the Sussex shore where the Birdman event was invented, and where Canute ordered the waves to retreat. This is where the largest beach launched fishing fleet in Europe resides, where British pretensions to the sovereignty of the seas were first declared, and where Ho Chi Minh once worked as a pastry chef on a cross-Channel ferry.From the birthplace of King Harold, to the 'fifth continent' of Romney Marsh, the Sussex shoreline is a place where people, ideas, and natural forces collide. A walk between sea and land, the Chalk Shore is a place of drama, change and ambiguity. Sea and land change places, home and abroad blend imperceptibly and the one constant, like the tide, is change. It took time to explore this ever-changing world -- and a series of walks.

Life on the Mississippi by Mark Twain (2,590 Reviews)    Price verified 6 hours ago

A stirring tribute to America's mightiest river by one of its greatest authors Before Samuel Clemens became Mark Twain, world-famous satirist and the acclaimed creator of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn, he trained to be a steamboat pilot on the Mississippi River. In this captivating memoir and travelogue, Twain recounts his apprenticeship under legendary captain Horace Bixby, an exacting mentor who teaches his charge how to navigate the ever-changing waterway. The colorful details of life on the river -- from the reversals of fortune suffered by riverboat gamblers to the feuds waged by towns seeking to profit from the steamboat trade -- fascinate Twain, and in his hands become the stuff of legend. Years later, as a passenger on a voyage from St. Louis to New Orleans, he vividly describes the stunning changes wrought by the Civil War and the steady advance of the railroads. A valuable piece of history and a revealing look at the origins of a national treasure, Life on the Mississippi is a true classic of American literature.

The Road Has Eyes: A Relationship, An RV and a Wild Ride by Arthur Rosch (103 Reviews)    Price verified 4 hours ago

Were they crazy? Could Art and Fox leave the house and move into an RV full time? Art was a photographer/astronomer and wanted to escape city lights. Fox needed to explore her Native American roots. They started learning RVs. They were victorious but not before they courted utter disaster. The humor of this book seems to lie in the disasters. THE ROAD HAS EYES is a surprising and fun read.This memoir is about making the transition from living in a house to living in an RV. In 2004 Art and Fox resided in a cottage in the woods of Northern California. They had purchased a used recreational vehicle for travel to the Southwest. Fox had recently discovered that she was one half Chiricahua Apache. This confirmed a nagging suspicion that had haunted her for more than forty years. The couple could use the RV to explore their passions. Fox wanted to connect with her Native American heritage. Art wanted to go places where he could master his photography and enjoy his love of astronomy and pristine dark skies. They pointed themselves in their rickety RV towards Arches National Park and hit the road without experience or preparation. The book begins with the story of their meeting. Art was using the internet to get into foolish and comical situations. He met Fox through a mix-up, one of those fated coincidences that seems ordained by higher spirits. Soon they were living together and the idea of RV travel was deeply appealing. They quickly got into trouble. Every crisis led them to people whose kindness and generosity had no ulterior motive. When they finally reached Moab, Utah, the trip took on an eerie tone, as if they had traveled through both time and space. The Four Corners area is inherently weird and surreal. Strange things began to happen; strange powers began to emerge through Fox. Art writes about her childhood psychic abilities and the ways in which they were stimulated when the pair began their travels. In THE ROAD HAS EYES Art describes the process of acquiring a ...

OMAN (EN ANGLAIS) 2023/2024 Petit Futé by Dominique Auzias (Le Petit Futé) (1 Review)    Price verified 2 hours ago

This sultanate is still a well-kept secret, a jewel with a case that has barely been opened. Yet it is perhaps the most attractive destination on the Arabian Peninsula. First of all for its pure and flawless landscape. Ochre sand dunes, arid or fertile plains, white sand beaches, turquoise water, steep cliffs, lush wadi, palm trees, coconut palms, more? Jagged mountain, deep gorge, perched village. Its people have a secular hospitality, its history goes back to the time when Mesopotamia, Egypt and Persia reigned supreme on earth, 3000 BC. Finally, for all that the country offers in terms of opportunities for discovery, encounters and adventure. It is a booming state that has experienced in less than 30 years an economic advance of several centuries. A development controlled for three decades by a sultan who knew how to take advantage of the wealth offered by black gold and gave the keys to unification: a name and a flag. The country has managed to keep its authenticity, punctuated by the daily rhythm of prayers. An omnipresent but tolerant religion, ibadism, a branch of Shi'ism, for the most stable, open and safe country in the region.

The Gift of St. David: 'A tour of the Pembrokeshire Coast. by Geoffrey Peyton (BookRix) (6 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

Because I am an avid rambler of the British countryside, someone suggested that I should take a walk along the coast of Pembrokeshire as it is a mirror image of my passion in hiking; that being the North Cornish Coast. I wasn't to be disappointed, and so I decided to spend a few days at the quaint village of Manorbier, which is just over 50 miles west of Swansea in South Wales. This was to be my finale of the year for treading Britain's natural countryside, and Manorbier became the autumn recluse for my finale of trekking for 2013 in the wilds of glorious Wales.

Conversational Portuguese Quick and Easy: The Most InnovativeTechnique to Master the Brazilian-Portuguese Language by Yatir Nitzany (23 Reviews)    Price verified one hour ago

Have you always wanted to learn how to speak Portuguese but simply didn't have the time? Well if so, then, look no further. You can hold in your hands one of the most advanced and revolutionary method that was ever designed for quickly becoming conversational in a language. In creating this time-saving program, master linguist Yatir Nitzany spent years examining the twenty-seven most common languages in the world and distilling from them the three hundred and fifty words that are most likely to be used in real conversations. These three hundred and fifty words were chosen in such a way that they were structurally interrelated and, when combined, form sentences. Through various other discoveries about how real conversations work -- discoveries that are detailed further in this book -- Nitzany created the necessary tools for linking these words together in a specific way so that you may become rapidly and almost effortlessly conversant -- now. If your desire is to learn complicated grammatical rules or to speak perfectly proper and precise Portuguese, this book is not for you. However, if you need to actually hold a conversation while on a trip to Brazil or Portugal, to impress that certain someone, or to be able to speak with your grandfather or grandmother as soon as possible, then the Nitzany Method is what you have been looking for. This method is designed for fluency in a foreign language, while communicating in the present tense. Nitzany believes that what's most important is actually being able to understand and be understood by another human being right away. More formalized training in grammar rules, etc., can come later. This isn't a pronunciation book. Thus, this book is recommended for those with prior knowledge in pronunciation of the Portuguese language. However, for those who aren't previously familiar, this book does provide some basic tools to teach pronunciation. The main thing this book offers is the necessary tools to become conversational in a ...
