 stock image, actual book may vary Book Description: In his last book about vacation misadventures, Travels with Anne, Stuart Anderson won our sympathy by describing his experiences, in remote corners of the world, with broken-down vehicles, clueless guides, unbearable traveling companions, miserable weather, and decidedly uncooperative wildlife. Unfortunately for Stuart, his new book, Who Picked This Place?, makes it plain that he did not learn a thing from those experiences. Thus, in Who Picked This Place?, we get to follow Stuart to unlikely vacation destinations across the world, and laugh out loud as: Stuart and his bird-crazy companion, Anne, tour the Yucatan Peninsula and discover biting ants, angry monkeys, and the advisability of making sure the lid of that whiskey flask, in your luggage, is screwed on tight. Stuart and Anne decide to vacation, for some inexplicable reason, in Mexico's most politically unstable state, Chiapas. While there, they try mightily to sweat themselves to death climbing Maya pyramids. They also go to church with a bunch of drunks who mark the occasion by chopping the heads off chickens. In Belize, Stuart and Anne canoe a jungle river in the rain-which turns out to be the prelude to a later adventure that involves traveling over miles of ocean, in a small boat, in a much bigger rain. In Belize, also, Stuart and Anne have a guide who is less interested in guiding than in hitting on all the available and some of the unavailable local women. That may explain why Stuart and Anne sometimes find themselves lost. Anne wants to see polar bears in the wild, so she and Stuart go to a lodge on northern Hudson Bay that is miles and miles from nowhere. At the lodge, they share a cabin with the world's most obnoxious photographer, and also with an elderly woman who has difficulties using the bathroom. All of them see polar bears way too close. Anne's dad goes with Stuart and Anne to Kenya, on a photographic safari. Anne's dad, unfortunately, tends to stray from camp on foot and alone, into country inhabited by leopards and lions. He also tends to fall asleep in his dinner. Not wanting to be outdone by Anne's dad, in Kenyan shenanigans, Stuart gets himself mistaken for a CIA agent, by some locals who try to recruit Stuart the CIA agent to murder one of their neighbors. Stuart and Anne go off to southeastern Turkey, even though southeastern Turkey borders on places like Iran, Iraq, and Syria. All of their friends think that Stuart and Anne are crazy. The two survive the trip very well, despite the inconveniences of stopped-up toilets, 120-degree heat, and "cave hotels." In Panama, Stuart and Anne get sick, celebrate the New Year with forty aggressive Pakistanis, and go bird-watching with a "guide" who doesn't speak any English and doesn't know anything about birds. You'll laugh, you'll cry, as you share these and other adventures, on four continents, with the dauntless Stuart and Anne. And, like them, you will often find yourself asking a question that, for one or both of the book's two protagonists, probably has an embarrassing answer: Who Picked This Place?

 stock image, actual book may vary Nineteen days, 256 miles, and one renowned poet walking the backbone of England. The wandering poet has always been a feature of our cultural imagination. Odysseus journeys home, his famous flair for storytelling seducing friend and foe. The Romantic poets tramped all over the Lake District searching for inspiration. Now Simon Armitage, with equal parts enthusiasm and trepidation, as well as a wry humor all his own, has taken on Britain s version of our Appalachian Trail: the Pennine Way. Walking the backbone of England by day accompanied by friends, family, strangers, dogs, the unpredictable English weather, and a backpack full of Mars Bars , each evening he gives a poetry reading in a different village in exchange for a bed. Armitage reflects on the inextricable link between freedom and fear as well as the poet s place in our bustling world. In Armitage s own words, to embark on the walk is to surrender to its lore and submit to its logic, and to take up a challenge against the self. 29 photographs

 stock image, actual book may vary "An engaging memoir of travel, love, and finding oneself." -- Kirkus Reviews Newly recovered from a quarter-life meltdown, Clara Bensen decided to test her comeback by signing up for an online dating account. She never expected to meet Jeff, a wildly energetic university professor with a reputation for bucking convention. They barely know each other's last names when they agree to set out on a risky travel experiment spanning eight countries and three weeks. The catch? No hotel reservations, no plans, and best of all, no baggage. No Baggage is at once a romance, a travelogue, and a bright modern take on the age-old questions: How do you find the courage to explore beyond your comfort zone? Can you love someone without the need for labels or commitment? Is it possible to truly leave your baggage behind?

 stock image, actual book may vary What do you like most when reading about adventures: descriptions about the terrain, the culture, the challenges, the personal growth, the interactions between other adventures? Women of the Way: Embracing the Camino successfully combines all these elements in a heartfelt and personal recounting of Jane V. Blanchard s 2011 five-hundred mile pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago hiking from St-Jean-Pied-de-Port in France over the Pyrenees to Roncesvalles in Spain, and then westward across northern Spain to Santiago de Compostella. For over a millennium, Christians have made this pilgrimage to the cathedral in Santiago, where the remains of St. James the apostle are entombed. Today, this journey is known as a European Cultural Itinerary, attracting people from around the world. In 2011, more than 183,000 people completed the pilgrimage; 44 of these pilgrims were women. Though Women of the Way is about Jane s journey on the Camino de Santiago also known as The Way and discussions with women she met on the pilgrimage, this is not a chic book. It is about embracing the Camino, the personal changes, and the beauty and appeal of the most popular of all the pilgrimages to Santiago de Compostela, the Camino Frances. Discover why people from around the world walk the Camino. Learn how to prepare for the Camino, about the daily rituals in long-distance walking, and the camaraderie shared among these modern-day pilgrims. Visualize the beauty of northern Spain through Jane s vivid descriptions. Understand why so many people embrace the Camino. An articulate, well-observed and thoughtful look at walking the Camino. Adam Nathan I felt as though I, too, was a pilgrim as I saw the beautiful landscapes Jane described, felt the tiredness she experienced, enjoyed the food along with her, laughed and cried with her. Elizabeth Chandler My husband, John 62 , and I are reading your book while we prepare to walk the Camino in May of 2013. We are loving it I like your honesty and factual approach. Your descriptions have caused us to laugh and almost cry at times. Thank you We are reading a little each day and John reminds me to bring the book in the car or to bed. The spirit of the Camino is already appearing in our relationship as we prepare. I can see a change and it is wonderful Kim Todaro

 stock image, actual book may vary Here is a man who suffers so his readers can laugh. Daily Telegraph Bill Bryson travels to Kenya in support of CARE International. All royalties and profits go to CARE International. Bryson visits Kenya at the invitation of CARE International, the charity dedicated to eradicating poverty. Kenya is a land of contrasts, with famous game reserves and a vibrant culture. It also provides plenty to worry a traveller like Bill Bryson, fixated as he is on the dangers posed by snakes, insects and large predators. It is also a country with many serious problems: refugees, AIDS, drought, and grinding poverty. The resultant diary, though short in length, contains the trademark Bryson stamp of wry observation and curious insight.

 stock image, actual book may vary Every time Bill Bryson walks out the door memorable travel literature threatens to break out. His previous excursion up, down, and over the Appalachian Trail well, most of it resulted in the sublime national bestseller A Walk in the Woods . Now he has traveled across the world and all the way Down Under to Australia, a shockingly under-discovered country with the friendliest inhabitants, the hottest, driest weather, and the most peculiar and lethal wildlife to be found on the planet. In a Sunburned Country is his report on what he found there--a deliciously funny, fact-filled, and adventurous performance by a writer who combines humor, wonder, and unflagging curiosity. Australia is a country that exists on a vast scale. It is the only island that is also a continent and the only continent that is also a country. Despite being the most desiccated, infertile, and climatically aggressive of all inhabited continents, it teems with life. In fact, Australia has more things that can kill you in extremely nasty ways than anywhere else: sharks, crocodiles, the ten most deadly poisonous snakes on the planet, fluffy yet toxic caterpillars, seashells that actually attack you, and the unbelievable box jellyfish don't ask . The dangerous riptides of the sea and the sun-baked wastes of the outback both lie in wait for the unwary. It's one tough country. Bill Bryson adores it, of course, and he takes his readers on a rollicking ride far beyond the beaten tourist path. Here is a place where interesting things happen all the time, from a Prime Minister lost--yes, lost--while swimming at sea to Japanese cult members who may have set off an atomic bomb sic entirely unnoticed on their 500,000-acre property in the great western desert. Wherever he goes and Bryson goes just about everywhere he finds Australians who are cheerful, extroverted, and unfailingly obliging--the beaming products of a land with clean, safe cities, cold beer, and constant sunshine. On occasion the Aborigines, a remote and mysterious race with a tragic history, make a haunting appearance in this book. But by and large Australia is an immense and fortunate land, and it has found in Bill Bryson its perfect guide. Published just in time for the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, In a Sunburned Country offers the best of all possible introductions to what may well be the best of all possible nations. Even with those jellyfish.

 stock image, actual book may vary After years of Berkeley activism in the 1960s and '70s, Jeff and Judi Burke threw up their hands and drove east. They eventually restored an old inn on Isle au Haut, a harsh, barely inhabitable outcrop seven miles off the Maine coast, setting out to do what they could not do in California: create their own utopia. For the past ten years the Burkes have led a life of simple pleasures - of nature, cool sea spray, warm fires on howling nights, good food shared with small groups of guests around a single table, hiking trails - where the only link to civilization is the daily and sometimes unreliable mail boat. Island Lighthouse Inn is a collection of entertaining stories of their everyday adventures - of fixing the vintage Servel refrigerator in the B B kitchen, of buying a dinner bell from a crotchety local antique dealer, of figuring out how to run the inn's septic tank without electrical power, of painting the 796 windows in the lighthouse and outbuildings - as well as tales of the often colorful people who have stayed at the inn and others they have met on and off the island. Island Lighthouse Inn includes recipes for twenty-one tantalizing dishes served at the inn, from Downeast Blueberry Muffins to Ida's Sea Clam Pie, as well as engravings by Maine artist Siri Beckman.

 stock image, actual book may vary In Hold the Enlightenment , America s favorite and funniest adventure writer returns with his most entertaining collection of essays yet, as he travels the globe and faces down challenges that are animal, topographical and human. Hold the Enlightenment takes Tim Cahill to sites as far-flung as Saharan salt mines, the Congolese jungle, and Hanford, Washington, home of the largest toxic-waste dump in the Western hemisphere. With his trademark wit and insight, Cahill describes stalking the legendary Caspian tiger in the mountains bordering Iraq, slogging through a pitch-black Australian eucalyptus forest to find the nocturnal platypus, diving with great white sharks in South Africa, staving off enlightenment at a yoga retreat in Jamaica, and much, much more. In these essays, vivid and masterly storytelling combine with outrageously sly humor and jolts of real emotion to show one of the most popular journalists of our time at the absolute peak of his game.

 stock image, actual book may vary Let s get lost together . . . Lost in My Own Backyard brings acclaimed author Tim Cahill together with one of his and America s favorite destinations: Yellowstone, the world s first national park. Cahill has been puttering around in the park for a quarter of a century, slowly covering its vast scope and exploring its remote backwoods. So does this mean that he knows what he s doing? Hardly. I live fifty miles from the park, says Cahill, but proximity does not guarantee competence. I ve spent entire afternoons not knowing exactly where I was, which is to say, I was lost in my own backyard. Cahill stumbles from glacier to geyser, encounters wildlife some of it, like bisons, weighing in the neighborhood of a ton , muses on the microbiology of thermal pools, gets spooked in the mysterious Hoodoos, sees moonbows arcing across waterfalls at midnight, and generally has a fine old time walking several hundred miles while contemplating the concept and value of wilderness. Mostly, Cahill says, I have resisted the urge to commit philosophy. This is difficult to do when you re alone, twenty miles from the nearest road, and you ve just found a grizzly bear track the size of a pizza. Divided into three parts The Trails, which offers a variety of favorite day hikes; In the Backcountry, which explores three great backcountry trails very much off the beaten track; and A Selected Yellowstone Bookshelf, an annotated bibliography of his favorite books on the park this is a hilarious, informative, and perfect guide for Yellowstone veterans and first-timers alike. Lost in My Own Backyard is adventure writing at its very best.

 stock image, actual book may vary Women travel for myriad reasons: They venture out to escape the routine of daily existence; to encounter fascinating new people and places; to enrich their lives; to embrace new cultures; and to explore; but sometimes none of this works out. This expanded edition of The Unsavvy Traveler adds three new tales of tangled travel to the humorous collection that debuted in 2001. Braving injury and danger, conflict and discomfort, na ve faux pas and mistranslations, these women discover that an unexpected kink in plans can lead to wacky situations: being chased by an itinerant mob in Beijing; trying to outrun a rising river in Malaysia; eating unidentifiable delicacies; and sleeping on a fast-food restaurant booth, on hard jungle ground, or on a swaying fishing schooner. With wry humor and unabashed honesty, these stories convey the unbreakable spirit of the willing adventurer.
