On the Road chronicles Jack Kerouac's years traveling the North American continent with his friend Neal Cassady, "a sideburned hero of the snowy West." As "Sal Paradise" and "Dean Moriarty," the two roam the country in a quest for self-knowledge and experience. Kerouac's love of America, his compassion for humanity, and his sense of language as jazz combine to make On the Road an inspirational work of lasting importance.

Kerouac’s classic novel of freedom and longing defined what it meant to be “Beat” and has inspired every generation since its initial publication more than fifty years ago.

Full of fun and practical travel information, this comprehensive guidebook takes you from familiar destinations like Ojai, California, long known for its inclusivity, to surprising spots like Eureka Springs, Arkansas, a small town that has been welcoming to the LGBTQIA community for decades. With an eye toward memorable and meaningful experiences, each destination highlights what to see, where to eat, and where to stay - without focusing solely on gay bars and pride parades. Each robust itinerary - a guide to Curaçao’s beaches, Christmas in the Cotswolds, or a kitschy trip to Dollywood - provides all the information needed for a well-rounded vacation that also supports local LGBTQIA communities.

With personality-focused chapters such as “Romantic Rendezvous,” “Boozy Trips and Trails,” and “Fun Haunts and Spooky Spirits” there is a destination in these pages for every type of traveler. Veteran travel writers Amy B. Scher and Mark Jason Williams offer can’t-be-ignored advice, including how to plan, ways to be safe while traveling, and important customs to honor while touring abroad.

Forlagets omtale:

over grensen og hjem er den nye boken til en av latin-amerikas mest anerkjente nålevende forfattere. Erasmus aragon bor I mexico der han jobber som journalist, men drømmer stadig om å vende tilbake til sitt hjemland el salvador. Han planlegger å starte et nytt liv og jobbe for et tidsskrift. Han ser det samtidig som en rømningsvei vekk fra det stormfulle forholdet til eva, som han har en datter med. Men før han reiser besøker han legen chente for å få hjelp med magesmerter. Legen foreslår hypnose og erasmus blir etterhvert usikker på hva han har fortalt legen under behandlingen, samtidig blir han stadig mer paranoid ettersom han minnes mer og mer fra sitt tidligere liv I el salvador. «et velkomment, øyeåpnende bidrag til den nye litteraturen om det latinamerikanske marerittet" anderson tepper - time out new york «det er dusinvis av øyeblikk I over grensen og hjem, den kjappe, fantastiske nye romanen til horacio castellanos moya, der leseren forventer at fortellingen beveger seg mot det surrealistiske. (...) men det briljante med hr. Castellanos moyas nye roman, helt klart hans beste så langt, ligger I hvor urokkelig den nekter å benytte disse gamle triksene. (... ) den har den intense vitalitet til stor litteratur, den typen som viser det spesifikt menneskelige I omstendigheter der vår medfølelse ellers for det meste ville forblitt teoretisk.» charles finch, the new york times «herlig komisk og urovekkende (...) castellanos moya har gjort angst til en kunstform og en opprørshandling.» natasha wimmer - the nation «besk humor, som en buster keaton film eller en tidsinnstilt bombe.» roberto bolaño

Chris Scott and his band of globetrotting contributors and specialists have put together the definitive manual for planning and undertaking a vehicle-dependent overlanding adventure across the wilds of Asia, Africa and Latin America. The Overlanders' Handbook is written in the same entertaining yet clear jargon-free English for which Chris's other books are known - it doesn't assume you know your plug gap from a radiator cap. This second edition has been re-researched and updated into a more compact book published as a paperback, rather than a hardback as before.

Includes:

1. Planning - When to go; typical costs; documentation; sponsorship; early overland journeys. 

2. Vehicle choice and preparation - The Overlanders' Handbook is the most comprehensive account in print, covering everything from adapting a cheap car to equipping a campervan or 4x4 for months on the road, or even building and outfitting your own accommodation module to mount on an all-terrain truck chassis.

3. Life on the road - How to handle dodgy borders, haggle over a purchase, treat a dodgy stomach and cope with crazy driving conditions. Guidance on wild camping; navigation and mapping strategies; onward shipping; advice for solo women overlanders; travelling with children or with pets; vehicle repairs and troubleshooting; and off-road driving techniques.

4. Continental route outlines - Guidelines on both popular and obscure overland routes through Asia, Africa and Latin America. Includes fuel prices, easiest borders and best seasons, visa strategies, danger zones and regional highlights.

5. Overlanders' Tales - Half a dozen accounts of global adventures lasting months or even years in vans, 4x4s and all-terrain trucks - from contributors aged from 9 to 69.

Du og jeg er innvevd i naturens flettverk, mye tettere enn du tror. Millioner av arter gir oss mat, medisin og et levelig miljø, i tillegg til at naturen gir oss kunnskap og glede.

På engasjerende vis forteller Anne Sverdrup-Thygeson spennende og tankevekkende fortellinger om naturen. Forfatteren tar oss med ut i regnskogen, der orkidebiene lager parfyme og pollinerer nøttene du spiser i jula. Inn i den svale skyggen under bygatenes store trær, de som gjør at vi trenger mindre luftkjøling. Ned i skyttergravene der soldatene brukte selvlysende sopp som lykt i måneløse netter. Vi får lese om trær i gammelskogen som gir oss kreftmedisin og isfuglen som inspirerte konstruksjonen av lyntog. Men også om hvordan vår framferd kan sette alt dette i fare. For i vår evne til å utnytte naturen, ligger også risikoen for å undergrave vårt eget livsgrunnlag. Vi snakker i dag om en naturkrise, der arter trues og levesteder forsvinner - en krise like akutt og alvorlig som klimakrisen. Skal vi sikre vår egen framtid, må vi endre måten vi lever på. Vi må lære oss å spille på lag med naturen.

Bradt's Paraguay was the first standalone guidebook to the country published internationally, and this new fourth edition remains the most detailed guide available. Covering the whole of this little-explored South American nation, it complements the best-known sights with off-the-beaten track attractions well beyond the tourist trail, and throws in a cross-border excursion to adjacent Iguazú/Iguaçu Falls (one of the 'New 7 Wonders of Nature'). Sitting in the heart of South America, Paraguay takes the shape of a lopsided butterfly, its wings divided by the River Paraguay.

Its western part is the Chaco - a wildlife-rich area of wetlands and arid woodland that reaches north to enter the famous Pantanal region. The eastern region is characterised by craft, music and campesino country life, with landscapes including savannahs and vestiges of Atlantic Forest. The country is perfect for the adventurous traveller who likes to be immersed in local culture and natural landscapes.

The go-to Paxos walking guide travel guide for discovering the best walks and car tours. Strap on your boots and discover Paxos on foot with the Sunflower Paxos travel guide. And on the days when your feet may have had enough, enjoy some spectacular scenery on our recommended car tour.

The Sunflower Paxos guide is indispensable for hiking in Paxos or seeing Paxos by car. This is the ideal 'get away from it all' destination - where everyone strolls through olive groves and along the coast. Paxos, just 19 sq km of cosy countryside, is little more than a broken fragment of hills sitting anchored off the southern end of Corfu.

The hills are cloaked in a cool mantle of olive trees. Dark groves of cypresses pierce this silvery-green mantle. In the shade of these wooded hills lie sprinklings of rustic hamlets.
