Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Veteran Rough Guide author and writer Jules Brown was born to travel. In 35 tales of adventure, exploration, fiasco and family, Jules takes you from his birthplace in West Africa, via the middle of nowhere to the ends of the earth. This second expanded edition of his 'quirky, inspirational' travel memoir has been described as a 'fascinating and hilarious collection from a brilliant storyteller'.From Takoradi in Ghana via Huddersfield in northern England, Jules wanders the world, finding the funny, absurd and emotional in equal measure. He chooses byways over highways every time - whether it's day one on the job for Rough Guides in Sweden or following in the footsteps of his one-of-a-kind father in Malaysia. In a memoir of a life's journey spanning 20 countries on 5 continents, Jules climbs volcanoes, hikes across cities and deserts, mushes huskies, searches for the Loch Ness monster, gets stuck up a mountain, learns to cook rice in Hong Kong, and delivers the mail in New Zealand. He also sets off on the trail of Elvis and Captain Cook, gets stranded on a Mediterranean island, which is mostly his fault, and crash-lands in Tehran, which definitely isn't.If you ever wondered about the life of a travel writer, 'Takoradi to the Stars (via Huddersfield)' lifts the lid on the highs and lows of a travelling life, with a final chapter to bring a tear to your eye.

His blog is great but reading the cream of his travels in book form is even more fun' Mark Ellingham, founder of Rough Guides & publisher of 'Driving over Lemons'Long-time Rough Guide author Jules Brown has travelled the world for thirty years, writing guidebooks, having adventures and generally trying to find his way home - wherever that might be.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "What is development? Who defines that one community/ country is "developed", while another community/ country is "under-developed"? What is the relationship between religion and development? Does religion contribute to development or underdevelopment in Africa? These and related questions elicit quite charged reactions in African studies, development studies, political science and related fields. Africa's own history, including the memory of marginalisation, slavery and exploitation by global powers ensures that virtually every discussion on development is characterised by a lot of emotions and conflicting views. In this volume scholars from various African countries and many different religions and denominations contribute to this debate."--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Description The myth of Drishadvati appears in the Mahabharata as the 'story of the salvation of kings by a maiden.' While tales of surrogacy abound in the Indian epics, this is the first known example of a womb-on-rent. This strange story-of a girl whose fertility was bartered repeatedly in exchange for priceless horses-has intrigued modern scholars, playwrights and authors for its cultural significance. While earlier adaptations have cast its theme as the exploitation of a helpless woman, Bride of the Forest presents it as the story of girl who is surprisingly radical in her ultimate rejection of patriarchy. Staying true to the original myths and springing entirely from the world of the Mahabharata, the novel brings to life several other characters: Garuda, the divine bird who flies Lord Vishnu around the world: the proud kings of Ayodhya, Pratisthan and Kashi; the arrogant queen, Devayani, and her duplicitous maid-whose stories reveal an intricate tapestry of human and divine relationships. Intertwined in the tales of traditional rivalries is the age-old war between the asuras and the devas that gave rise to the perennial male quest for immortality, transmuted into the human desire for sons that lies at the root of commercial surrogacy even today. However, it is the story of Drishadvati, her sacrifice and her nobility, that will enchant the reader.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since it was first published in 1989, Men of the Battle of Britain has become a standard reference book for academics and researchers interested in the Battle of Britain. Copies are also owned by many with purely an armchair interest in the events of 1940.The book records the service details of the airmen who took part in the Battle of Britain in considerable detail. Where known, postings and their dates are included, as well as promotions, decorations and successes claimed flying against the enemy. There is also much personal detail, often including dates and places of birth, civilian occupations, dates of death and place of burial or, for those with no known grave, place of commemoration. There are many wartime head-and-shoulders photographs. Inevitably the high achievers who survived tend to have the longest entries, but those who were killed very quickly, sometimes even on their first sortie, are given equal status.The 2015 third edition will include new names and corrected spellings, as well as many new photographs. Plenty of the entries have been extended with freshly acquired information. The stated nationalities of some of the airmen have been re-examined and, for example, one man always considered to be Australian is now known to have been Irish.

Jules learns about travel the hard way, whether it's setting out on his first European hitch-hiking adventure, writing about offbeat destinations for Rough Guides, or braving the shouty waiters of Naples on the hunt for the world's best pizza. Not everything goes according to plan - what happened in Bali stays in Bali - but during a life in travel, Jules has racked up enough useful tips to fill a book. Just not this book. Hit the road with Jules - from Scotland to the South Pacific - and you're guaranteed a great story, a good laugh and an occasional heartfelt sob. As long as you don't listen to his advice, you'll be absolutely fine.
