Sinossi

Kayaking Paddle Essentials emphasizes the importance of informed gear selection for a safe and enjoyable kayaking experience. It highlights that choosing the right paddle, personal flotation device (PFD), and watertight storage solutions are crucial for mitigating risks on the water. Paddles have evolved significantly, with modern carbon fiber designs offering superior weight and efficiency compared to older wooden models. Likewise, PFD technology has advanced to provide better buoyancy and comfort. The book explores these three essential components in detail, starting with an introduction to their fundamental principles. It then delves into paddle selection, discussing blade shapes and materials, and offers guidance on matching paddles to different kayaking styles, such as touring and recreational kayaking. A significant portion is dedicated to PFDs, comparing various types and providing advice on proper fitting and maintenance. Watertight storage is also examined, with case studies on different container types and packing strategies to protect essential supplies. By combining manufacturer specifications, expert opinions, and scientific studies, Kayaking Paddle Essentials empowers kayakers with the knowledge to make confident gear choices, enhancing both their safety and overall enjoyment on the water. The book progresses systematically across chapters, building from basic concepts to real-world applications, making it a valuable resource for both novice and experienced kayakers.

    In Travels with Plotinus, Moin Mir follows Plotinus's 1,780-year-old journey of personal discovery across India, Egypt, Italy, Greece and Turkey as he tries to understand the core concept of Plotinian thought, derived from studying the Upanishads – 'Unity and Oneness'.
    
    He uses Plotinus's philosophy to observe how the free will of intellect uses 'Unity' for good and evil. Intimate conversations with refugees escaping war, innocent boatmen drifting down the Nile, simple farmers and monks in Greece along with observations of ancient art and modern technological accomplishments inform his thoughts and writing on the concept of the oneness of humankind – its immense power to bring good and yet its vulnerability to the stealth of intellect to destroy and self-destruct.

    Set in the urban pastoral of an East London postcode, Feral Borough asks what it means to call a place home, and how best to share that home with its non-human inhabitants. Meryl Pugh reimagines the wild as 'feral', recording the fauna and flora of Leytonstone in prose as incisive as it is lyrical. Here, on the edge of the city, red kite and parakeets thrive alongside bluebell and yarrow, a muntjac deer is glimpsed in the undergrowth, and an escaped boa constrictor appears on the High Road. In this subtle, captivating book – part herbarium, part bestiary and part memoir – Pugh explores the effects of loss, and lockdown, on human well-being, conjuring the local urban environment as a site for healing and connection.
    'A subtle, heartfelt and affecting book about home, the city and the self -- Pugh reminds us that nowhere, however urban, is without nature; that wherever we go, the intricate web of life continues to shape and change us.' Rebecca Tamás

    When you travel to a foreign land, do you experience this new place as your old self? Or do you become a new version of you?From living in a van in San Diego to growing chocolate with indigenous tribes in Central America, to teaching in the Middle East and volunteering in Africa, Gregory V. Diehl has spent his entire adult life discovering the world and himself. Leaving his California home shortly after his 18th birthday, he went on to live and work in 45 countries across the globe by age 28.By recounting the existential lessons from his journey, Diehl challenges the reader to question how their identity has been shaped by the culture and lifestyle they know. He argues, compellingly, that travel can transform your perception of yourself along with the world. By losing your comfortable sense of self, you learn to examine your life through the structure of everything it can become.To travel solo a truly open mind is to forget who you were when you started. It is to be constantly born anew, to discover your strengths and find your path in life. Travel As Transformation will give you the wisdom, the inspiration, and the resources to conquer the limitations placed by your arbitrary past. Whether traveler or non-traveler, its lessons about approaching the uncomfortable and unfamiliar apply to everyone.
