Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tramps Round the Mountains of the Moon: And Through the Back Gate of the Congo State It is always a keenly interesting occupation to be engaged in answering keen questioners, and it is in the hope that it may prove of interest to many such questioners that this book has been written. Questions which have thus been asked as to the Customs Of the people and their religious ideas, the prospects of the country and its future development and so forth, I have endeavoured to answer in the course of the narrative rather than by devoting separate chapters to them. In describing the Tramps I fear that there has been a more frequent use Of the first person singular than one would have wished, but in telling much that was personal it has seemed inevitable.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Toro: Visits to Ruwenzori, "Mountains of the Moon" M nanja. The passage was an unusually bad one, the water being up to our armpits. However, we soon got through, and marched on a couple of hours to the garden in which we were to sleep. After a change and a cup of tea, the Muanja and mud water and reeds were forgotten. On Wednesday, April Ist, we were clue to reach Mitiana. But another swamp lay between as and our goal. The water was not so deep as the M nanja, but the mud was far more objectionable. It is, however, impos sible to live for six months in Buganda without learning to look upon swamps as necessary evils and to take them as a matter of course. The country through which we had been passing for three clays was wonderfully varied and beautiful. W'ood and forest, plantain-gardens and great sweeps of tiger-grass succeeded each other in quick regularity, and combined in forming pictures of great beauty. Our drum gave notice to Mr. Sugden of the arrival of our party, and he, with a large number of native friends, came out to meet us.

Something of a cult figure in Japan, where fans hold an annual festival in his honor, Nakajima is considered a master of a sub-genre of Japanese fictional works that take Ancient China as their subject, with stories based on folk tales, legends, and historical figures..Nakajima's stories first appeared in Japanese periodicals in 1942 and 1943, promising a potentially rich and long career, given his extensive knowledge and skills. He died tragically of pneumonia complicated by severe asthma after returning to Japan from the island of Palau in 1942. In masterful translations by Paul McCarthy and Nobuko Ochner, these are the first of his works to appear in English. "--Publisher.

Book excerpt: The BBC’s “face of space” explores all things lunar in this comprehensive guide to the folklore, facts, and possible futures of our only natural satellite. Have you ever wondered if there are seasons on the moon or if space tourism will ever become widely accessible? So has Dr. Maggie Aderin-Pocock, astronomer and host of the BBC’s docuseries, The Sky at Night. In this lucidly written guide, Aderin-Pocock takes readers on a fascinating lunar journey.

Looking to the future, she delves into the pros and cons of continued space travel and exploration. Throughout the book are sidebars, graphs, and charts to enhance the facts as well as black-and-white illustrations of the moon and stars.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Susy Branch and Nick Lansing are typical Wharton heroes: popular, attractive, and much poorer than their “international set” friends. Like Lily Bart in The House of Mirth, the two depend on the largesse of more privileged acquaintances to get by. Recognizing in each other a desire for the finer things in life, they decide to get married and, knowing that their friends will happily provide fabulous accommodations, live rent-free on an extended honeymoon until either one of them finds a better match—at which point they will amicably divorce and sail off into their separate, wealthier sunsets. But a romantic tour of Europe can confuse even the most mercenary hearts. And when a friend asks for a favor in exchange for the use of her palazzo, Susy and Nick realize that everything in this sophisticated world comes at a price: one that their hearts and consciences may no longer allow them to pay. . .
