  Camino de la Luna - Forgiveness

  It takes something really powerful to make you leave Hawai’i (or you know, running out of money).  I found myself called back to England by my heart, but not for long.  It wasn’t yet time to settle, it was time to explore another country I’d once fallen in love with, Croatia and to see if I could find a home, a place to rest and write.I didn’t have any idea quite how much more I had to learn, to understand and this journey was going to show me, above all things, the power of forgiveness.What is forgiveness?  Perhaps it’s like the sunrise and the sunset, something we’ve seen and known for a long time, before there was language to explain it, before there was science to explain it.  Even when we got it wrong, when we believed the sun moved around the earth, (which was an easy assumption to make), the sun rose and set without interruption, without correcting our misguided beliefs.So I think forgiveness exists, it rises and falls, even when we ignore it, just as we all share unconditional love we’re sometimes blind to.  I think we need forgiveness to survive.  Without forgiving ourselves for our mistakes, our missteps, we’d never move forward, we’d just sit down and rot in the road.  Indeed some people do.  And how can we forgive ourselves if we can’t forgive others who have hurt us so much less than we’ve hurt ourselves?Let go, let go, let go, it’s as simple as that and we can forgive even in the midst of the worst abuse, we can use forgiveness to end the cycle of abuse, “abuse begets abuse”, to let go of the need to punish, to be right and, so importantly, the need to keep suffering because of the past.From the Amazon Best Selling author of "Japan Is Very Wonderful," the "Camino de la Luna" series and the Pearl Escapes mini-guides.The third in this series (or fifth including the self help manual "free Feeling Real Emotions Everyday" and prequel "Japan Is Very Wonderful") "Camino de la Luna – Forgiveness" continues the journey.

  On January 1, 2014, homebrewer and writer Derek Dellinger began a journey that would change nearly everything he thought he knew about fermented food and beverage-and as a beer expert, he knew a lot. For an entire year, Dellinger would eat or drink only products that had been created by microbes. Exploring the vast world of fermentation, Dellinger became the living embodiment of its cultural and nutritional power-he became the Fermented Man.In this entertaining and informative narrative, Dellinger catalogs his year spent on this unorthodox diet, revealing insights about the science of fermentation, as well as its cultural history, culinary value, and nutritional impact along the way. He goes beyond yogurt and sauerkraut to show us how fermentation occurs in a wide range of foods we might never have expected, and is at the root of many unique delicacies around the world. From foraging for living bacteria in the modern American grocery store, to sampling mucousy green Century Eggs in Chinatown, to an epic winter quest to Iceland for rotten shark meat, Dellinger investigates a realm of forgotten foods that is endlessly complex and surprisingly flavorful.

  Britains Declining Secondary...

  This is an evocative selection of high quality colour views, each of which recaptures the lost age of Britain's branch lines and secondary railways, of which so many were axed following implementation of the 'Beeching Report' during the 1960s. Most importantly, the previously unpublished views in this book are the work of one man, Blake Paterson, a professional railwayman, who was also an outstanding photographer who some forty-five years ago was determined to record as much of the passing railway scene as possible. He set himself demanding schedules and would often travel vast distances, sometimes using overnight trains, to reach the more remote comers of the rail network.During this intense period of photographic activity, when he took thousands of colour slides, he followed his own strict rules. He would normally only take a photograph when the sun was shining and he would try to capture the train in its natural setting. For Blake, ambiance was paramount.This book is a unique record of one man's railway portraits, featuring a wealth of locations, steam and diesel locomotives, DMUs, stations and station buildings, halts, signals, gas lamps, infrastructure, staff and passengers. Anything that was set to vanish, Blake felt should be recorded. His photographs provide a perfect pictorial record of so many of the lost splendours of Britains rail network.

  Roots Schmoots - Journeys Among...

  From a Booker Prize-winning author, an “informed and witty” travelogue exploring America, Israel, Lithuania, and the nature of Jewish identity (Publishers Weekly).   Howard Jacobson had been hoping to make a journey to Lithuania to search for his Jewish roots. So when the BBC offered to send him around the globe to report on a variety of Jewish communities, he accepted. The trip he recounts in this memoir takes him to New York City, where tension simmers between Jews and African Americans; to California, where he visits a gay synagogue; to Israel, where he encounters the spectrum of Jewishness from Orthodox right-wing hardliners to tolerant, peace-loving kibbutzniks. And ultimately, to Lithuania, the land of his forefathers, where he discovers that antisemitism still lurks.   “A lively, irreverent but ultimately serious account of a British Jew’s search for his roots.” —Elizabeth Benedict, The New York Times   “Profound and moving.” —Publishers Weekly
