The Guatemala Reader: Extraordinary Lives And Amazing Stories by Mark Walker Price verified 3 hours ago

Join me on an epic journey through the fascinating, yet often misunderstood Central American neighbor. I've studied and written about Guatemala for fifty years, and in this book, I've focused on some of the extraordinary people of Guatemala and their amazing stories. Given the crisis of democracy in Guatemala and the continued turmoil on our border, this is the time to understand the human realities better and take action to secure a more promising future. Guatemala draws up to 1.8 million tourists per year, whose visits start in the largest city in Central America with brief visits to ancient Mayan ruins and contemporary Maya villages, which provide a partial folkloric understanding of Guatemalan society.Over the years, I've traveled to places most Guatemalans have never seen. I use encounters with ordinary Guatemalans, profiles, and stories from local Mayan leaders, advocates, writers, and poets to bring a new appreciation and understanding of this country. Maps, graphs, fact sheets, and photos support 19 stories to provide insights into the inner workings of Guatemalan society.I start with stories seen through literary and biographical prisms. Then tap into the "Yin and Yang of Travel Series," which transports the reader to the far-off reaches of the country and includes some of his "saddest pleasures"-horrendous journeys, which "gave him eyes."The remaining stories focus on contemporary Guatemala, from the impact of the Peace Corps over the last 60 years to the dynamics leading to the ongoing immigration crisis, ending with an insightful overview of Guatemala's political, cultural, and economic life with a new section at the end about how individuals can make a difference through their actions and philanthropy.

Spanish Journals: The Posthumous Diary of an Expat: Part Two - Invasion by A R Lowe (Postlethwaite Press) (157 Reviews)    Price verified 9 hours ago

- 'This diary, written by my late husband Ernest Postlethwaite, has been published expressly against his wishes, but with the full and hearty endorsement of my family and friends.' - From the introduction to Part One by Pamela Postlethwaite, Javea, Spain, December 2012 This second instalment of Ernest Postlethwaite's ground-breaking journal charters the continuing progress of a man on a mission to achieve cultural and linguistic integration in a small village in southern Spain. As summer approaches, our hero finds himself confronted by undesirable interruptions to the smooth running of his new life, in the shape of summer visitors. How will a man so tethered to the soil and immersed in the life of his new country cope with this alien invasion? This unadulterated manuscript will bring tears to the eyes of the most hard-hearted amongst us, as we follow his footsteps even further into the great unknown. "The calamitous capers of Ernest continue with a vengeance in part two of the journal. A bilingual dog, draconian teaching methods, the near drowning of his nephew and his refusal to follow the uncouth British tradition of slapping on suntan lotion - leading to his endless embarrassment - are just a few of the hilarious highlights. The reader is also introduced to - in Ernest's opinion - Pamela's ghastly family. Their son, Gerald, makes an appearance too with his cracker of a girlfriend in tow, who Ernest takes a fancy to. Pamela again rules the roost, with her effortless integration into Spanish life and scything remarks that keep her hubby in check." - Amazon review By the same author: 'Barry Braithwaite's Last Life', 'The Year that Crime Paid', and 'Thirty Brief Tales from England and Spain' ***** 'Part Three - Consolidation' and 'Part Four - Conclusion' now available. *****

Australia in My Notebook: Where Were You When We Did This? (Traveling the World Book 3) by Charlie Hull Price verified 9 hours ago

Charlie and Sally Hull landed in Sydney Australia and flew out to Darwin, caught the bus to Katherine and then to Timber Creek, then headed back east to Alice Springs. They flew to Melbourne and took the bus to the capital city of Canberra and then back to Sydney. From Sydney they traveled to Strathfield and Katoomba and then returned to Sydney. From Sydney they flew back to the USA. All of this was accomplished in four weeks. They walked an average of seven miles a day, meeting people and snapping photos of what they saw--crocodiles, busy streets, sunsets on the ocean, street artwork and more. At every step they encountered problems, such as broken airplanes, a visa that would not go through, a passport that was not accepted, food allergies, sun rashes, canceled hotel reservations and more. But through it all, God protected and provided for them. This is their combined journal.

Undiscovered America: unknown natural wonders and potential national parks by Zack/Cora Frank (53 Reviews)    Price verified 11 hours ago

The 54 landscapes featured in this book that fall into two categories. 1) Areas that are virtually unknown but deserve greater appreciation and awareness. 2) Well-known landscapes that are surprisingly not national parks, but people often assume they are. All of these natural wonders deserve greater protection and to be considered alongside the best natural icons the country has to offer. If you asked the average American to name a landscape that defines our national identity, they would most likely respond by saying Yellowstone, Yosemite, the Grand Canyon, the Great Smoky Mountains, or the Everglades. What they might not know is that each of these places is a national park. Our national parks celebrate some of the most exemplary natural landscapes on the planet, boasting a diversity of ecosystems, wildlife, and geology that helped make this country the foundation of the conservation movement. Nowhere else on Earth is there a confluence of deserts, mountains, plains, hills, forests, coastlines, lakes, canyons, islands, and wetlands that still accurately reflect the pristine state of the land before human intervention. Throughout my travels, I have come across places that are just as incredible and unique as the famous national parks, but are comparatively unknown. I wondered, "Why are only some of America's environments so well-known, while other places that are equally amazing, are not?" A few years ago, this discrepancy set me off on a mission to find out why many of the greatest natural wonders in America are not protected and valued in the same way This book seeks to reconcile these potential national parks, which are missing from our national consciousness. The primary goal of my 'Undiscovered America' project is to document the lesser-known natural wonders across the United States. The secondary goal is to provide a better understanding of federal land designations. The current levels of protection for many of the landscapes detailed within this book leave ...
