THE WORST JOURNEY IN THE WORLD INTRODUCED BY SARA WHEELER A gripping account of an expedition gone disastrously wrong. One of the youngest members of Captain Scott's team, Apsley Cherry-Garrard was later part of the rescue party that found the frozen bodies of Scott and the three men who had accompanied him on the final push to the Pole. A masterpiece of travel writing, this is the most celebrated and compelling of all the books on Antarctic exploration. THE ROAD TO OXIANA In 1933, the delightfully eccentric Robert Byron set out on a journey through the Middle East via Beirut, Jerusalem, Baghdad and Teheran to Oxiana - part of the border between what is now Afghanistan and the Soviet Union. This is the captivating, quirky record of his adventures and a rare account of the architectural treasures of a region now inaccessible to most Western travellers.

“This is the book I wish I’d read two years ago. It’s less of a ‘how-to,’ and more of a ‘how we did it’ look at RV life.”—Kevin Tumlinson, Author & Podcast HostWhat if you could walk away from the pressures and stresses of corporate life, and live outside of the routines and restrictions? What if you could choose where you live on a daily basis, have a beach view on Monday and a view of the mountains on Friday? What if, instead of trading your days and weeks and years for a life deferred, you just went and lived that life right now?These were the questions Joe and Kait Russo asked themselves as they faced endless corporate meetings, inconvenient business trips, and the crushing stress of ‘making it.’ It all changed when Kait asked Joe, “What if we sold our house and got an RV?”“Take risks, and have lots of children.”That was the final advice Joe’s father gave him, and it became the driving force behind Joe and Kait’s decision: They would do it. They would sell it all, downsize, leave their high-paying jobs, and go out to find and explore every corner of the world. They would take risks.In this book, written in a very present first-person style, Joe takes the reader on a journey through the decisions, challenges, and triumphs of embracing a minimalist lifestyle, and getting on the road full time. Full of practical insight and wisdom, and told in an almost folksy and very personal tone, Take Risks is a powerful ‘how-we-did-it’ tale that will inspire you and give you a starting place for your own journey. If you’ve ever wanted to move into a full-time RV lifestyle, this book is for you.Take your own risks, starting right now, and embrace the rewards that come with them.

Road Tales is a crazy trip across the world and documents a period of time in a British musician's life, when all that mattered was the music and the road ahead. It is a testament to other peoples stories rather than the writer, and digs into the mantle of what makes people tick while some people thrive others dive. The Author was intrigued by the amount of different tales he was hearing from the Aboriginal stolen generation, pushed back to a meagre existence on the fringes of society, to Guatemalan community leaders who would risk their lives to save the greater population of their native people. Each chapter is bound with a tinge of a rock musician on the edge of chaos finding himself in the strangest locations and situations, like having a gun pointed to his head in a Guatemalan rainforest, to causing mayhem entering the United States, though he always seams to find the beauty in the frail story of human existence. Road Tales consists of 15 chapters each one a different character from a different part of the world, each with their own archetype that seeks to give insights into the complicated tale of human nature. Each tale asks questions like, what is altruism?, what is faith?, what is guru worship? and what makes certain people reach up from adversity and succeed in being a better person through the challenges they have been given. If you are looking for an amazing read that takes you on a journey and at the end hopefully allows you to say "You know what, if they can get through their challenges then maybe I stand a chance with mine.

A long empty road, leading to no place in particular. Cars used to pass this way, a lot of cars, but not so many lately. Sometimes a hitchhiker can still be spotted standing by the trees at the side of the road, dust on her boots, a breath of wind brushing through her hair. She's probably been waiting there for hours, but that's okay, she's got the time to wait, it's not as if the world is going to end anytime soon.... Four friends set out on a road trip. There's Rob, the de facto leader of the group because this trip was his idea after all - Rob is full of ideas, often it's easier just to go along with them than waste energy arguing the toss- and his girlfriend Amber, the quiet, thoughtful one. Dave is a happy-go-lucky sort of guy with some personal issues that are going to effect the trip ahead, and then there's Boyce, Dave thinks Boyce is his girlfriend, they do the sort of things that boyfriends and girlfriends do when the lights are out after all. Boyce doesn't like to get pigeon-holed like that, but she can't really control what others are thinking about her - can she?The trip is barely underway when complications ensue, the path ahead splits in two. Certain members of the party are going to learn more about themselves than they ever bargained for as their journey takes them relentlessly forward; others will remain blissfully happy in their ignorance. Further along the road the congregation of a peculiar church are waiting patiently for the end of everything, a travelling man has struck an odd alliance with a beautiful woman bearing a murderous grudge and a self-styled preacher chooses totally the wrong moment to take some time off...You can fool yourself as much as you like that your fate is not written in the stars, you can jump onto the path less travelled anytime you like, but eventually you'll find that all roads lead inevitably to the worst possible outcome.
