Synopsis

Clifton Bain now completes his trilogy with this look at the Peatlands of Britain and Ireland. A source of fuel for many generations, they are now a haven for wildlife and plants as well as a storehouse of greenhouse gasses. Their social history is one of exploitation and the value of mending and restoring is a major theme of the book. Like its predecessors, The Peatlands of Britain and Ireland will be a sumptuous volume richly illustrated with photographs and with drawings by the wildlife artist Darren Rees.
Disponible depuis: 02/02/2022.

    Ladies and Gentlemen, 
    Welcome to the world of Argentina, a land of passion, turmoil, and rich history. If you're like me, you love a good story, and let me tell you, Argentina has got some tales to tell. From the Spanish conquistadors to the tango dancers of Buenos Aires, this country has seen it all, and I've got an audiobook that will take you on a journey through its fascinating past. 
    But be warned, this audiobook is not for the faint of heart. If you're looking for a dry recitation of facts and dates, you're in the wrong place. No, my friends, this audiobook is a living, breathing thing, a story that will grab you by the throat and not let go until the last page has been turned (or in this case, the last chapter has been listened to). 
    I've always been fascinated by Argentina, with its vibrant culture, delicious food, and passionate people. But it wasn't until I dove into its history that I truly fell in love with this country. The struggles for independence, the golden age of immigration, the rise and fall of dictators – it's all here, waiting for you to discover. 
    And it's not just the history that makes this audiobook so special. You'll also hear from the people who make up this amazing country – the musicians, the writers, the everyday folks who call Argentina home. They'll share their stories and give you a glimpse into the heart and soul of this place. 
    So what are you waiting for? If you're ready for an adventure, if you're ready to be transported to a land of passion and intrigue, if you're ready to fall in love with Argentina like I did, then don't hesitate. Get your hands (or your ears) on this audiobook and let the journey begin.

    Do you love living amongst towering redwoods, rolling hills, and world-class wine but never know where to take guests visiting from out of town? Do you draw a blank when thinking of something to do? Are you stuck in a rut and tired of doing the same handful of things? 
    HowExpert Guide to Sonoma County without the Wine is the casually inspiring guide for you. Written by a 20-year Sonoma State University import from Los Angeles, these tips are practical, evergreen, and type diverse. Most tips highlight locations for trip ideas, while some focus on how best to participate at the location. Intermixed the tips are little asides labeled “Fun Fact” or “Did You Know.” They mostly serve as trivia to use for showing off. Read from start to finish or by relevant chapter. 
    Be warned; in an area covering a land mass larger than the state of Rhode Island, there is sure to be an activity missed or a new activity that has since spawned. As no category is exhaustive, the everchanging nature of an urban area is addressed with multiple reminders to search online for further (and current) information.

    This is the audiobook of Part 1 of my memoir, My Amazing 35 Year Journey Abroad. I open the book at a time in my life when I was living in an unheated garage in the dead of winter in Chicago and that came about because of my alcoholism. The year was 1981 and I was 28 years old. By this time in my life I had been kicked out of college, fired from 2 jobs including being fired by my father for crashing my company car drunk, divorced once with another one on the way, and I was broke and jobless. I would then pick myself up and brush myself off and get hired as a stockbroker by Dean Witter Reynolds. I would then blow that great opportunity by, you guessed it, abusing alcohol, and after working for 3 different brokerage houses, I would then quit drinking, start my modeling career, take an inadvertent 1 week ski trip to Austria, and then decide not to get on that return flight to Chicago, but instead would take a train from innsbruck to Nice, France where I would work as a model and actor, and then after a few months in Nice, I would move to Paris where I would live for 6 or so months, and then because of a suggestion from a photographer during a job there, I would end up flying to Singapore where I would work as a model and actor there, then after about 6 months there, I would end up moving to NYC to study acting and work as an actor there, and during my day job, I worked as a skate guard at Rockefeller Center where I would work with LIberace during his show there celebrating the skating rinks 50th birthday and there are photos in the book to prove it. Then from NYC I would move to Hong Kong where I would work as a featured actor in 4 movies, including a role in Kickboxer. I would then move to Bangkok, Thailand where I would start my nudie photography career and become the most prolifice photographer of naked Asian girls in the world. It is now 2024 and I am still in Thailand, retired here at the age of 70.
