 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 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 In his introduction to The Best American Travel Writing 2008, editor Anthony Bourdain writes that the pieces that spoke the loudest and most powerfully to me were usually evocative of the darker side, those moments fearful, sublime, and absurd; the small epiphanies familiar to the full-time traveler, interspersed by a sense of dislocation and the strange, unholy need to record the experience. With this in mind, Bourdain and series editor Jason Wilson have assembled a wide-ranging and wonderfully eclectic collection that delves headlong into those darker moments and subtle realizations, looking to absorb, provoke, and offer a moving record of what it means to travel in the twenty-first century. Here you will find Seth Stevenson s extraordinary experience of Looking for Mammon in the Muslim World as he makes his way through sweltering and paradoxical Dubai. Exotic tastes and larger-than-life personalities abound as Bill Buford accompanies the chocolate maker Frederick Schilling to the rain forests of Brazil. And on the other side of the world, Calvin Trillin trolls Singapore for the ultimate street food, while Kristin Ohlson delves into the harrowing challenges faced by proprietors of restaurants in Kabul, Afghanistan. The twenty-five pieces in this collection have their fair share of the absurd as well. David Sedaris explains the hilarious highs sundaes and woeful lows sobbing with your seatmate of flying Business Elite. Gary Shteyngart goes To Russia for Love during St. Petersburg s vodka-soaked wedding season. And Emily Maloney gets up close and personal with her fellow travelers and their massage devices in a South American hostel. Culled from an amazing variety of publications, the writing in this volume is so vibrantly good, you ll feel like you ve armchair-traveled around the world Chicago Sun Times .

 stock image, actual book may vary With his signature wit, charm, and seemingly limitless knowledge, Bill Bryson takes us on a room-by-room tour through his own house, using each room as a jumping off point into the vast history of the domestic artifacts we take for granted. As he takes us through the history of our modern comforts, Bryson demonstrates that whatever happens in the world eventually ends up in our home, in the paint, the pipes, the pillows, and every item of furniture. Bryson has one of the liveliest, most inquisitive minds on the planet, and his sheer prose fluency makes At Home one of the most entertaining books ever written about private life.

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 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 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.
