Kiwi adventurer Mary Jane Walker had no particular intention of visiting the Himalayas, till one day some friends invited her on a cheap trekking trip. So began a deep engagement with the region and its peoples and a series of return trips. Mary Jane visits and treks Pakistan's north-west frontier, Kashmir, Dharamshala (the abode of the Dalai Lama), high Himalayan Nepal (the Annapurna, Manaslu and Everest regions), and Sikkim. She also explores central India, Pakistan's north-west frontier, Mumbai, Kerala and Kolkata, and takes a trip to the ecologically sensitive Chitwan region on the border of Nepal and India. She discusses the history and social conditions of the region's peoples including the consequences of the tragic 2015 Nepal earthquake, and makes many surprising discoveries: such as the fact that ancient coins minted in Peshawar (now in Pakistan) once bore the image of the Buddha--and, even more remarkably, his name in Greek letters!

BY THE AUTHOR OF A MAVERICK NEW ZEALAND WAY, FINALIST IN THE TRAVEL CATEGORY, INTERNATIONAL BOOK AWARDS, MAY 2018. If you've heard of famous Himalayan peaks like Annapurna and Ama Dablam, but aren't into mountaineering, this book is for you! A Maverick Himalayan Way is about the Himalayas, but it isn't a hardcore mountaineering book. Instead, Mary Jane recounts her adventures and misadventures as an average sort of a person who happens to travel into the world's most famous mountain region; and to several other places in Asia as well. Like most Kiwis, Mary Jane was raised on tales of the New Zealander Edmund Hillary's climbing of Mount Everest alongside the Nepalese Sherpa Tenzing Norgay, and of Hillary's good works among the impoverished Sherpa thereafter. But she never felt the urge to go to the Himalayas herself, until friends persuaded her to go with them on a trek up to Everest Base Camp. What the heck, she thought-let's go! But if she was going to go to the Himalayas, she wasn't going to confine herself to the Everest region-or even to Nepal. In A Maverick Himalayan Way, Mary Jane describes her adventures in several parts of Nepal: in the Everest region, Manaslu, Annapurna, and the Kathmandu Valley. And, In the Chitral district of Pakistan, bordering Afghanistan, where the Hindu Kush mountains continue the Himalayas westward. In Sikkim, a once-independent principality east of Nepal. In several parts of India, namely Srinagar (in Kashmir), Dharamshala, Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, Kolkata, Mumbai and Kerala. In Abu Dhabi; and, In China and Japan, including a journey into the Japanese Alps, little-known outside Japan itself.

瑪莉珍.沃克 (Mary Jane Walker) 是個特立獨行的人，過去如是，將來也一樣。在過去三十多年的全球旅程中，她曾赤身露體地在舢舨上度過兩年，徹底迷失而闖入俠盜羅賓漢的藏身之處，在亞馬遜雨林啜飲迷幻藥茶，還一腳踹過核動力潛艇。這只是她種種冒險經歷的冰山一角。 她的足跡遍佈全球，從北極圈，到為紐西蘭保育部在無人荒島上做志工。她曾去過珠峰大本營，體驗夏爾巴人的工作和生活。在無數教堂、廟宇和清真寺裡旋舞、禱告。走過聖徒詹姆斯橫跨歐、非兩大洲的朝聖之路。探索過紐西蘭的懾人地貌。乘狗拉的雪橇至北極的偏遠地區。旅程中，認識了無數的奇人異士，和讀者分享了許多讓人難以置信的冒險故事。她的旅行文字，遠遠勝過那些對於精緻餐館和豪華旅店的記述。 探索大千世界不只是人之所欲，更是某些人的立身處世之道。如果你痴狂於了解多元文化，追求嶄新經驗，研究地圖，探索和發現那條乏人問津的路，那麼，你並不孤單。你和瑪莉珍是同一種人。 欣然接受你內在的漫遊者。屈服於你內心出門旅遊的渴望，你便踏上了通往滿足的單行道。想擁有豐富的旅遊經驗，在歷遊各國之餘更能深切體驗其歷史和風土人情，就請閱讀瑪莉珍.沃克的旅行文學作品。 《特立獨行走天下》(A Maverick Traveller) 是瑪莉珍的故事。她至今認為這故事的開端是她人生的轉捩點：一個頗有毅力的，名喚尼爾斯.勒琴斯 (Neils Lutyens) 的年輕人發起建造了一艘舢舨，瑪莉珍坐上了它，從泰國的普吉島 (Phuket) 航行至非洲的加蓬 (Gabon) ......

Rework shows you a better, faster, easier way to succeed in business. Most business books give you the same old advice: Write a business plan, study the competition, seek investors, yadda yadda. If you're looking for a book like that, put this one back on the shelf. Read it and you'll know why plans are actually harmful, why you don't need outside investors, and why you're better off ignoring the competition. The truth is, you need less than you think. You don't need to be a workaholic. You don't need to staff up. You don't need to waste time on paperwork or meetings. You don't even need an office. Those are all just excuses. What you really need to do is stop talking and start working. This book shows you the way. You'll learn how to be more productive, how to get exposure without breaking the bank, and tons more counterintuitive ideas that will inspire and provoke you. With its straightforward language and easy-is-better approach, Rework is the perfect playbook for anyone who’s ever dreamed of doing it on their own. Hardcore entrepreneurs, small-business owners, people stuck in day jobs they hate, victims of "downsizing," and artists who don’t want to starve anymore will all find valuable guidance in these pages.
