Get lost in the timeless beauty of a country in transition. It is a charming and satisfying thing that there are still places in this world where magic seems to pervade the sights, smells, and sounds of a place more than the trappings of the so-called modern world. For more than ten years Scott Stulberg has made multiple pilgrimages to Burma (sometimes called Myanmar) to capture this sense of magic with his cameras. The result of those pilgrimages is captured here in a collection of images that display the heart and soul of this magnificent country. This is a place of dreams. Bagan, where two thousand pagodas carved from the native rock occupy an area one-sixth the size of Washington, DC. Mandalay, an exercise in calm and chaos that seduces the eye in every direction. Inle Lake, where images pop up around every corner: fishermen in their long boats, their legs wrapped strangely around the paddles; small villages clustered along the water like clumps of mussels clinging to a rocky shoreline. Mrauk, a place so remote that tourists are a curious rarity. And Yangon (once Rangoon), a tropical coastal city that still bears the remnants of colonial rule along its shady avenues. And around every corner of this country of contrasts are Burma’s Buddhist monks in their distinct saffron robes. Their warmth and openness have come to symbolize this amazing country. This second edition of Passage to Burma includes new photographs from Stulberg’s latest travels abroad to this remarkable place. “This is Burma,” wrote Ruyard Kipling. “It is quite unlike any place you know about.”

From its opening pages this amazing journey plunges the reader into an action packed adventure. From California's snow covered Sierra Nevada it races through China, gathering momentum and immersing the reader in a non-stop chase culminating deep in the ravaged jungles of present day Myanmar. The lead character, Drew Blake, is far from the spit and polish of Ian Fleming's James Bond. Blake is real. He is human, susceptible, subject to failure and open to displays of emotion. His cuts and bruises don't vanish overnight. The reader quickly forms a likeable image of Blake, visualizes his looks, his demeanor. Carson Dallas interacts beautifully with his fellow agent. The banter between the lead characters provides the reader with many a laugh, and quite a few tears. A PASSAGE TO BURMA raises many questions regarding strategic military facilities within the U.S.A. as well as China's aspirations regarding Taiwan, Tibet and its expansionary intent toward surrounding nations. It brings to the fore Beijing's insatiable commitment to achieve world dominance and delves into the ways in which the U.S.A. and Russia have inadvertently assisted China in achieving these goals. The reader will experience the reality of the horrendous actions of the Burmese military junta in a nation that once conjured up romantic images of a peaceful people. 'PASSAGE' is a brilliantly executed work delivering an adrenalin overdose as it takes the reader through air chases, steamy leach ridden monsoonal jungle incursions and a final scramble for survival in the wild waters of the Bay of Bengal. In this epic modern day adventure, Jason Denaro plows three years of research into the creation of a work of cinematic magnitude.Buckle up and enjoy your unforgettable ride on A PASSAGE TO BURMA.

Spanning fifty years from the days of the British Raj to the granting of full independence after the Japanese conflict, Bewitched by Burma tells a vivid and often humorous tale of the challenges of life in Burma faced by Anglican missionaries. Setting out on the five-week sea passage to Burma, these men and women left comfortable but boring lives in Edwardian Britain in search of adventure. Their task was to preach Christianity in a Buddhist land about which they knew little. Once there, they rapidly fell in love with the country, its rich culture and warm people, whom they grew to respect deeply. From descriptions of tea on the lawn with the Viceroy to daily struggles with insects, illness and climate, and adventures with bullock carts and early motor cars, their letters home contain fascinating vignettes of a long-extinct colonial way of life alongside a daily life in Burma which is largely unchanged today.Author and narrator Anne starts the book with stories of the myths and legends lying behind the country’s past, and recounts many memories from her childhood in Burma. She also gives a key insight into its politics, history and geography, and reproduces a vivid first-hand account of the devastating trek from Burma to India to escape the Japanese occupation, written in the mid-1940s. Her husband shared her interest in Burma, having served there in the Indian army, and some of his memories are included.As Aung San Suu Kyi takes her rightful seat in parliament and Myanmar re-emerges onto the world stage after many decades of exclusion, Bewitched by Burma gives a unique insight into the country’s complex past. The book will appeal equally to today’s travellers and business people, to families of servicemen who served there, and to those interested in the early life of the church - and even in the introduction of Girlguiding.
