Night Trains

In Night Trains, Andrew Martin attempts to relive the golden age of the great European sleeper trains by using their modern-day equivalents. This is no simple matter. The night trains have fallen on hard times, and the services are disappearing. Whether the backdrop is 3a.m. at a Turkish customs post, the sun rising over the Riviera, or the constant twilight of a Norwegian summer night, Martin rediscovers the pleasures of a continent connected by rail. By tracing the history of the sleeper trains, he reveals much of the recent history of Europe. Against this tumultuous backdrop, he experiences his own smaller dramas, as he ponders the mystery of the compartment dog, and becomes embroiled in his very own night train whodunit.

No easy way

Attualmente la forma di alpinismo più seguito è quello che si svolge sulle montagne più alte del mondo, gli Ottomila dell'Himalaya. Le notizie, un tempo prerogativa delle riviste specializzate, adesso dilagano tramite i mezzi di comunicazione di massa, notoriamente più interessati a pubblicare notizie di incidenti e soccorsi piuttosto che un alpinismo audace e di qualità. Al di fuori delle tragedie e della banalità delle ascensioni di massa ci sono ancora dei visionari affascinati dalle montagne più difficili e ancora inviolate, per rivivere le emozioni dei protagonisti delle ascensioni di un tempo ormai superato. Mick Fowler, da oltre trent'anni, è uno dei precursori dello stile alpino sulle grandi pareti himalayane, tecnicamente complesse e in valli spesso sconosciute agli Occidentali, nonostante il suo lavoro a tempo pieno presso l'ufficio delle imposte e i suoi viaggi annuali. In No easy way, il suo terzo libro autobiografico, Fowler racconta le sue spedizioni su splendide montagne in Cina, India, Nepal e Tibet assieme a compagni di cordata come Paul Ramsden, Dave Turnbull, Andy Cave e Victor Saunders, per aprire vie nuove su pareti maestose e tecnicamente molto impegnative. Scritto con la sua consueta arguzia e humor, il libro di Fowler riporta nel futuro l'alpinismo dei grandi scalatori del passato, aggiungendo stile e fascino alle scalate di difficoltà estrema su grandi pareti e in aree remote.

No Free Parking: The Curious History of London's Monopoly Streets

From the medieval cobbles, through Dickensian iron and fog, to the neon lights and bustle of the twenty-first century, the ever-changing streets of London map out the vibrant stories, triumphs and struggles of everyone who ever called London home. From the Roman and Celts marching along the ancient Old Kent Road, to the rattling newspaper presses of Fleet Street, the game of Monopoly has painted London's story across cheerful coloured tiles. But those Monopoly streets live and breathe - they don't just illuminate our history. They open up whole new ways of thinking about it. The mobs have taken to our streets. The overlords have taken them back. Wars have spilled out into them. Lovers have snuck around them, and fires have raged through them. In a city of rags and riches, where folk hero Dick Whittington believed the streets were paved with gold, anything could happen - and everything has. You may think you know the history of London. You don't. Or at least, not entirely. This is the story of the capital as you've never, quite, heard it before.

He embarked on a wholly unique challenge, one that would force him to grow as a person and as an athlete: breaking the speed record for the Appalachian Trail.

He would have to run nearly 50 miles a day, every day, for almost seven weeks. He knew he would be pushing himself to the limit, that comfort and rest would be in short supply - but he couldn't have imagined the physical and emotional toll the trip would exact, nor the rewards it would offer. With his wife, Jenny, friends, and the kindness of strangers supporting him, Jurek ran, hiked, and stumbled his way north, one white blaze at a time. A stunning narrative of perseverance and personal transformation, North is a portrait of a man stripped bare on the most demanding and transcendent effort of his life.

Northland: A 4,000-Mile Journey Along America's Forgotten Border

America's northern border is the world's longest international boundary, yet it remains obscure even to Americans. Travel writer Porter Fox spent two years exploring its length by canoe, freighter, and car-and in Northland, he delivers the little-known history of the region and a riveting account of his travels. Fox follows explorer Samuel de Champlain's adventures; recounts the rise and fall of the iron, wheat, and timber industries; crosses the Great Lakes on a freighter; and tracks America's fur traders through the Boundary Waters. Northland is full of colorful characters (railroad tycoon James J. Hill, Chief Red Cloud of the Lakota Sioux, Captain Meriwether Lewis) and extraordinary landscapes (Glacier National Park, the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation, Montana's Medicine Line country). Throughout, Fox weaves in his encounters with residents, border guards, Indian activists, and militia leaders to give a dynamic portrait of the northland wracked by climate change, water wars, and heightened border security.

From the Bronte sisters and Marks amp; Spencer to the Yorkshire pudding, accent and Ripper, this is a funny, wise and searching account of the county that gave the world its first football club and its last witch-burning.

Nowhere for Very Long: The Unexpected Road to an Unconventional Life

Narrated by Brianna Madia In this beautifully written, vividly detailed memoir, a young woman chronicles her adventures traveling across the deserts of the American West in an orange van named Bertha and reflects on an unconventional approach to life A woman defined by motion, Brianna Madia bought a beat-up bright orange van, filled it with her two dogs Bucket and Dagwood, and headed into the canyons of Utah with her husband. Nowhere for Very Long is her deeply felt, immaculately told story of exploration—of the world outside and the spirit within. However, pursuing a life of intention isn’t always what it seems. In fact, at times it was downright boring, exhausting, and even desperate—when Bertha overheated and she was forced to pull over on a lonely stretch of South Dakota highway; when the weather was bitterly cold and her water jugs froze beneath her as she slept in the parking lot of her office; when she worried about money, her marriage, and the looming question mark of her future. But Brianna was committed to living a life true to herself, come what may, and that made all the difference. Nowhere for Very Long is the true story of a woman learning and unlearning, from backroads to breakdowns, from married to solo, and finally, from lost to found to lost again . . . this time, on purpose.
