  From the Amazon Best Selling author of "Japan Is Very Wonderful," "Meditation for Angry People" and the Pearl Escapes mini-guides.This is a book for people who wake up at 5am (or 4am or 3am) worrying. Maybe you don’t call it worrying, maybe you call it planning or organising. Sometimes it is helpful. Sometimes genius and the truth arrives at this time. But sometimes it is just your mind or your ego spinning lies, keeping you awake, freaking out your body, making you sick, torturing you, trying to keep you small.I've been there. Years, months and just hours ago. And it is so wonderful to get over it, to be able to choose to get up and use this time to greet the dawn, to get clarity and change my life, or to soothe the beast and be able to go back to sleep in peace, and wake again knowing that there is nothing to be afraid of, that I am life and my life is perfect and we are all perfect.This is a book about faith, about adventure, about living with my heart open and letting go of the fear of being myself.In June 2016 I decided to sell my house of 22 years and leave my comfort zone. I had no idea where I would go next, but slowly the Camino de Santiago showed itself and I decided, with no rucksack or hiking experience to start...In the first part of this story, I left England and flew to Seville and travelled on to Granada, where I stayed first in a treehouse and then a cave… before I picked up my rucksack and headed north on the Camino.Through vineyards and, accidentally, up mountains, I walked, and then back by bus and on, trying somehow to follow the yellow arrows of the Way. Accidentally ending up with my own private spa, turning round again, and heading to stay in a hostel for the first time in the UNESCO town of Segovia.

  If when you think "Florida" you don't think "spectacular," Cathy Salustri is determined to change your mind. Explaining why the state is more than the "Florida Man" stories and the politics that so often make national news, and looking beyond the crowded beaches and theme parks, Salustri celebrates what makes the state worth a deeper understanding in this lively trip through its natural beauty and fascinating history. 
   
   
   
  Florida Spectacular lifts the curtain on multiple facets, including the legacy of Zora Neale Hurston and the Black community at Eatonville; the bravery of Emateloye Estenletkvte, a Seminole woman who escaped from captivity back to her homeland; the two "frenemy" Henrys, Flagler and Plant, and their projects in transportation and tourism; the three "Marjories," the influential environmentalists and writers; and people working to solve issues facing the state today, such as those who have used Florida's hurricanes to make storm forecasting better for the whole world. 
   
   
   
  Along the way, Salustri brings to light lesser-known moments from Florida's history that help illuminate the state's significance in American and world history. Salustri tours listeners through the hidden-in-plain-sight Florida, the overlooked treasures, the cultural complexities, the environmental challenges and successes.

  “An exceptional study. The author of the book has had the audacity to approach Russian chaos... armed with her desire to prove that the country is by no means a madhouse but simply an immense space, difficult to access for the outsider who is unfamiliar with Russian traditions, history and mentality.” Lyubova Klobukova, Izvestia. 
   
  “Alla Sergueeva’s book is highly topical. The author loves Russia, cares about its people, is proud of its history, culture and science.” Vladimir Nogovsky, Russian Thought.
   
  Should a foreigner accept an invitation to the Russian baths? How many glasses of vodka should you drink in one go before trying to refuse? Why do Russians endure life at great sacrifice? What is “Russian happiness” made of? And above all, what’s new in 21st-century Russia?
  Over the past fifteen years, the “mysterious Slavic soul” has undergone unprecedented metamorphosis. It was time to draw up an exhaustive inventory of the new way of life and psychology of the Russians.
