"Letters from Apizaco" is the memoir of a boy-crazy seventeen-year old living in Mexico as a high school exchange student in 1976 as told through her letters home, journal entries and correspondence after returning to the U.S. It is the story of the kindness, sincerity and warmth of the Mexican people, especially Felipe and Evelia Gonzalez, so proud of their country, wanting to show it off to their new foreign daughter, Kim. Not everyone in Apizaco welcomed the presence of an American in their city. From an all-white community, north of Boston during the era of school desegregation, Kim would become the only white girl, often reminded of such by passersby staring and yelling out "G�era!" from their Volkswagon windows. She would discover that derogatory language referencing homosexuals and people of color were used on both sides of the border. After a brief adjustment period battling Moctezuma's revenge, a sense of alienation and homesickness, Kim did not want the adventure of a lifetime to end and leave the Gonzalez family nor her inseparable friends, Norma and Felipe. She kept her crush on Felipe a secret from Norma, completely infatuated with him after hearing him sing and play guitar in the neighborhood chapel. A hopeless love triangle emerged once Felipe revealed his true feelings for Norma over a shared bottle of Mezcal. Apizaco is a small industrial city in the state of Tlaxcala, roughly one hundred miles southeast of Mexico City. At an altitude of 8,070 feet, it was founded for its location on the railroad between the capital and the Atlantic coast. The rooftop of a retired steam engine, La Maquinita, placed as a monument to steam locomotion at the entrance to the city, became one of many after school hangouts for Kim and her new Mexican friends and classmates. Unfortunately, attending high school in Mexico turned out to be a torture to be endured. Three years of Spanish instruction were hardly enough for an intelligent sounding conversation, much less academic success. Bored and lost, Kim copied meaningless notes off the board in Mexican History, Art History, Chemistry, Biology, Philosophy, Physics and Ethics, while entertaining herself, daydreaming, carving pro-USA slogans on her desk and passing notes to Norma and host sister, Mayu. Although a graduate in the top ten percent of her class at Triton Regional High School, Kim became a failure and behavior problem at El Instituto Fray Pedro de Gante. A lesson of compassion and empathy towards our non-English speaking immigrant children in the U.S can be learned from "Letters from Apizaco."

This light-hearted travel memoir poses a serious question: in a world alarmed by climate change, how easy is it to go long distances without relying on fuel-guzzling aeroplanes?Surface Male is the true story of John Barclay’s challenge to travel around the world, doing as much as possible by land and none at all by air. In a journey that took half a year, crossing three oceans, four continents and 23 countries – by passenger liner, container ship, freighter, motorboat, train, bus, tram, trolleybus, minibus, truck, motorcar, taxi, tuk tuk, motorbike and on foot – not a drop of aviation fuel was consumed.Journeying on his own (and off the tourist track), without the benefit of pre-planning, he faced numerous difficulties and dangers. Equipped with little more than his own dogged nature and zest for adventure, John soldiered on, frustrated by language, confused, lost and molested – often the only European to be seen. Yet he found humour everywhere and was heartened by the warmth of strangers. The experience changed his outlook on the world. The story includes amazing scenes such as a hot night in a low dive in Mexico, the terror of a no-go area in Panama, a death-defying bus ride in Vietnam and John’s escape from the authorities in Kazakhstan. He tells it all candidly, with wit and humanity, in a crisp style that holds the attention for 32,000 miles. The fascinating photographs are the author’s own.
