Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Road to Paris: A Story of Adventure When I was a boy'in our valley behind the Blue Mountains of Pennsylvania, I used to read the 'true Travels, Adventures, and Observations of Captain John Smith, in. Europe, Asia, Africa, and America, from 1593 to and wonder Whether should ever have any travels or adventures of my own to make a book of. When, afterwards, I did go a travelling, and adventures did come thick and fast upon me, I was too much engrossed in the travels and adventures themselves to give a thought as to what matter they might be for narration. Not till this breathing-place came in my life, did my boyhood dreams return to my mind, and did I realize that my part in battle and imprisonment, danger and escape, love and intrigue, would make a book that might be worth fireside reading. That book I now begin, and shall probably finish it if I be not inter rupted by untimely death or by some new call to scenes of enterprise and turmoil, -for it is no retired veteran, but a man early in his twenties, that here tries whether with pen and ink he can make as fair a Show as he has already made with implements less peaceful.

Book excerpt: "A high-spirited, comic ramble into the savage Outback populated by irreverent, beer-guzzling frontiersmen." --Chicago Tribune "A fascinating insight into what we're all about on the highways and byways along the outback track." --The Telegraph (Sydney) Swept off to live in Sydney by his Australian bride, American writer Tony Horwitz longs to explore the exotic reaches of his adopted land. So one day, armed only with a backpack and fantasies of the open road, he hitchhikes off into the awesome emptiness of Australia's outback. What follows is a hilarious, hair-raising ride into the hot red center of a continent so desolate that civilization dwindles to a gas pump and a pub. While the outback's terrain is inhospitable, its scattered inhabitants are anything but. Horwitz entrusts himself to Aborigines, opal diggers, jackeroos, card sharks, and sunstruck wanderers who measure distance in the number of beers consumed en route. Along the way, Horwitz discovers that the outback is as treacherous as it is colorful. Bug-bitten, sunblasted, dust-choked, and bloodied by a near-fatal accident, Horwitz endures seven thousand miles of the world's most forbidding real estate, and some very bizarre personal encounters, as he winds his way to Queensland, Alice Springs, Perth, Darwin--and a hundred bush pubs in between. Horwitz, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of two national bestsellers, Confederates in the Attic and Baghdad Without a Map, is the ideal tour guide for anyone who has ever dreamed of a genuine Australian adventure. "Lively, fast-paced and amusing . . . a consistently interesting and entertaining account." --Kirkus Reviews "Ironical, perceptive and subtle . . . will have readers getting out their maps and itching to follow Horwitz's tracks. . . . The internal journey is his finest achievement; he allows the reader into his heart, to go travelling with him there, sharing his adventures of the spirit." --Sunday Times (London)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advocating a global as opposed to a Eurocentric perspective in the college classroom, discusses why and how to teach about Chinas Silk Road. The romance of the Silk Road journey, with its exotic locales and luxury goods, still excites the popular imagination. But study of the trade routes between China and central Asia that flourished from about 200 BCE to the 1500s can also greatly enhance contemporary higher education curricula. Indeed, with people, plants, animals, ideas, and beliefs traversing it, the Silk Road is both a metaphor of globalization and an early example of it. Teaching the Silk Road highlights the reasons to incorporate this material into a variety of courses and shares resources to facilitate that process. It is intended for those who are not Silk Road or Asian specialists but who wish to embrace a global history and civilizations perspective in teaching, as opposed to the more traditional approach that focuses on cultures in isolation. The book explores both classroom and experiential learning and is intentionally interdisciplinary. Each essay focuses on pedagogical strategies or themes that teachers can use to bring the Silk Road into the classroom. Based on years of experience, the authors of Teaching the Silk Road offer sound strategies for both stand-alone courses on aspects of the route and mainstreaming what has been uncovered in three decades of research into existing courses in a variety of disciplines. H-Net Reviews (H-Asia) This collection of essays and personal reflections allows the reader to listen in on a relaxed conversation on teaching the topic of the Silk Road. It offers a nice blueprint for integrating the Silk Road into new or existing curricula. J. Michael Farmer, author of The Talent of Shu: Qiao Zhou and the Intellectual World of Early Medieval Sichuan

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recent Travel and Adventure In the first part of his journey the road stretched over the undulating country of Duruma, which is densely covered with bush and tangle, alternating with thorny scrub. Here and there were to be seen settlements of miserable natives waging war with nature and eking out a poor existence, Often face to face with famine, and flying before the con quering Masai tribe. On the third day's journey all trace of population was left behind; instead of bush they were surrounded by thorns and gnarled trees, and the soil was a glaring red sand. Not a drop of water was to be found save in small holes filled with recent rains, and this was muddy and undrinkable. Crossing this uninhabited plain, its monotony was exchanged for picturesque isolated mountains rising to a height varying from three hundred to seven thousand feet, with cool breezes and sparkling rills. Mr Thomson climbed one of these mountains, which proved to be over five thousand feet high. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

When fairly on the plains their difficulties had daily increased, and the fatal disease seemed gaining ground among them. That night they had come to a decision. It was but five days since they passed Fort Leavenworth; they would go no further into the wilderness. They would turn back to the States, and exchange their golden dreams of California for hard work once more and a home of tolerable comfort.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the inspiring story of an ordinary guy who achieved two great goals that others had told him were impossible. First, he set a record for the longest automobile journey ever made around the world, during the course of which he blasted his way out of minefields, survived a breakdown atop the Peak of Death, came within seconds of being lynched in Pakistan, and lost three of the five men who started with him, two to disease, one to the Vietcong. After that-although it took him forty-seven more years-Albert Podell set another record by going to every country on Earth. He achieved this by surviving riots, revolutions, civil wars, trigger-happy child soldiers, voodoo priests, robbers, pickpockets, corrupt cops, and Cape buffalo. He went around, under, or through every kind of earthquake, cyclone, tsunami, volcanic eruption, snowstorm, and sandstorm that nature threw at him. He ate everything from old camel meat and rats to dung beetles and the brain of a live monkey. And he overcame attacks by crocodiles, hippos, anacondas, giant leeches, flying crabs-and several beautiful girlfriends who insisted that he stop this nonsense and marry them. Albert Podell's Around the World in 50 Years is a remarkable and meaningful tale of quiet courage, dogged persistence, undying determination, and an uncanny ability to extricate himself from one perilous situation after another-and return with some of the most memorable, frightening, and hilarious adventure stories you have ever read.

On Sabbatical, Janice carries her art pack and folding stool into one of the most incredible landscapes on the planet: the canyons, deserts, mountains, and river valleys of the greater Southwest. Awed, amazed, inspired, and humbled by what she finds there, she sketches and paints en plein air. The family fishes, hikes, catches bugs, chases lizards, digs fossils, photographs, and studies plants. The year-long campout in National Parks and Forest Service sites becomes a journey of the heart. The family grows to love the way the great outdoors is put together. Part travelogue, part natural history, part field course in art appreciation, the author records her development as an artist as she learns to paint and learns to see. To her surprise, a spiritual awakening sneaks up on her, and the journey turns into something more--a pilgrimage.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Anthony Comstock, Fighter: Some Impressions of a Lifetime of Adventure in Conflict With the Powers of Evil The country-boy clerk was scared, too; thoroughly so. He was downright afraid to go for that dog. 80 he went to his room and prayed to God for courage, and for suc cess in killing the animal. He had a very definite notion of what he proposed to do, and he knew where to go for strength and guidance to do it, - two characteristics of his later life. Getting up from his knees, he took his firearms, locked the door of the store, and started to look for the dog. There were two roads, either of which he might take. One went up the side of a high hill, the other ran along by the river, and they left each other at a fork in the road along which he started. In the angle of land formed by the separation of these two roads was a row of tenement houses, occupied by the Irish and other poorer mill-workers of the community. A retaining wall some seven feet high supported the bank on the lower Side. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
