Book excerpt: Often surprising, sometimes bizarre, never dull. Roger Jinkinson takes us far off the tourist-beaten track to explore life - and death - in a small village on a remote Greek Island. Meet the people he has come to know over 25 years - at once traditional and modern, hard-bitten and generous, stoic and resourceful. Learn how they fish, keep bees, hunt goats, make music. Read about the man who tried to ransom a floating crane, about the mule that outwitted the German army and the death of a giant. Read and you will feel the very pulse of a community as it fights to maintain its unique and vibrant culture.

Extrait: ...died away as they disappeared round the rocks to the left. The plash of their oars came fainter and fainter for a few moments and then ceased. Katharine stood upright, shook her skirt free of the pebbles she had collected in her lap, picked up her basket and book, and turned to go. From the road behind the shore came a series of short, sharp barks. Surely, she thought, that was not a sheep dog. The next moment a wildly excited little white ball came tumbling down the slope, and was followed a moment later by a man in gray, walking rapidly towards her. As soon as she caught sight of the outline of his figure against the sky, she stopped suddenly. For a moment a darkness came before her eyes, and her knees trembled. The little dog jumped wildly about her, but she did not heed him. The man came nearer. As he came he raised his hat and just spoke her name in a low voice: "Katharine!" When she heard his voice, she started forward and her lips parted. But no sound came from them. They only trembled a little. "Katharine!" he said again, hoarsely, putting out his hands. She came two steps nearer and, stretching out both her own, she laid them in his, and stood before him, her head bent so low that her face was hidden. The man's face flushed. "No," he said, almost roughly, "no, don't do that. Look at me. For God's sake, look at me, Katharine." She raised her head, and their eyes met. "I have come, you see, as soon as you sent for me, though--if you remember--I swore I would never see you again. Tell me now, if you can, what made you say what you did to me at that awful time? It was a brutal thing to say to a man, Katharine." "Jim," and she disengaged one hand to wipe her eyes clear of the tears...

Book excerpt: "Milwaukee - not New York, Chicago or Los Angeleswas the scene of a number of television firsts: The Journal Company filed the very first application for a commercial TV license with the FCC in 1938. The first female program director and news director in a major market were both at Milwaukee stations. The city was a major battleground in the VHF vs. UHF war that began in the 1950s. The battle to put an educational TV station on the air was fought at the national, state and local levels by the Milwaukee Vocational School. WMVS-TV was the first educational TV station to run a regular schedule of colorcasts, and WMVT was the site of the first long-distance rest of a digital over-theair signal." "This detailed story of the rich history of the city's television stations since 1930 is told through facts, anecdotes, and quotations from the on-air talent, engineers, and managers who conceived, constructed, and put the stations on the air. Included are discussions of the many locally-produced shows - often done live - that once made up a large part of a station's broadcast day. Through these stories - some told here for the first time - and the book's extensive photographic images, the history of Milwaukee television comes alive again for the reader." "From the first early tests using mechanical scanning methods in the 1930s, through the first successful digital television tests, the politics, conflicts, triumphs, and failures of Milwaukee's television stations are described in fascinating detail." --Book Jacket.

Book excerpt: For more than thirty years Roger Jinkinson has visited and lived on the small Greek island of Karpathos. In this, his second book of tales from the island, he tells how he first arrived by boat, his children mistaken for luggage, and how he found himself immersed in a unique and vibrant culture. The island's people are tough, stubborn and highly individualistic. Read about the many and varied ways of fish and fishing, of the festivals and ceremonies that mark the year, of the intrigues and jealousies of cafe owners, of the unique wildlife of the island, of the once thriving villages deserted as their inhabitants left for cities overseas, and of the ambivalent feelings of the children of emigrants towards their ancestral homeland.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A richly rewarding narrative about a young painter's love affair with the Greek island of Sifnos When Christian Brechneff first set foot on the Greek island of Sifnos, it was the spring of 1972 and he was a twenty-one-year-old painter searching for artistic inspiration and a quiet place to work. There, this Swiss child of Russian émigrés, adrift and confused about his sexuality, found something extraordinary. In Sifnos, he found a muse, a subject he was to paint for years, and a sanctuary. In The Greek House, Brechneff tells a funny, touching narrative about his relationship to Sifnos, writing with warmth about its unforgettable residents and the house he bought in a hilltop farm village. This is the story of how he fell in love with Greece, and how it became a haven from the complexities of his life in Western Europe and New York. It is the story of his village and of the island during the thirty-odd years he owned the house—from a time when there were barely any roads, to the arrival of the modern world with its tourists and high-speed boats and the euro. And it is the story of the end of the love affair—how the island changed and he changed, how he discovered he had outgrown Sifnos, or couldn't grow there anymore. The Greek House is a celebration of place and an honest narrative of self-discovery. In its pages, a naïve and inexperienced young man comes into his own. Weaving himself into the life of the island, painting it year after year, he finds a place he can call home.
