Transit Risk Zones

Translator A AI

Summary

Transit Risk Zones brings attention to a little-known danger for LGBTQ travelers: the risk faced during layovers in countries with discriminatory laws. It highlights how international travel, seemingly safe, can expose LGBTQ individuals to harassment or detention simply for their identity in transit zones. Many are unaware that something as routine as airport security or immigration procedures can become a source of vulnerability due to a country's transit laws and enforcement practices.

 
The book meticulously identifies high-risk layover countries, analyzing their legal frameworks, human rights records, and reported incidents. It arms travelers with practical advice for pre-travel planning, navigating airport security, and handling potential harassment. By revealing these dangers, Transit Risk Zones challenges the assumption of guaranteed safe passage.

 
The book progresses by first introducing the concept of transit risk, and then delves into specific country profiles. It concludes with actionable advice for travelers and a call for policy changes. This guide serves as a critical resource for LGBTQ travel, human rights advocacy, and policy reform, emphasizing the need for greater awareness and international cooperation.

Demonic Dolls - True Tales of...

John Harker

Can dolls really become haunted? Can demons take possession of people’s playthings? According to many paranormal investigators, exorcists, and demonologists, the answer is yes. Not only are such phenomena possible, they happen often, with dolls among the most frequent targets of spirit attachment. Sometimes those spirits are benign or merely mischievous. But many are outright evil and dangerous.

This newly revised and expanded edition of Demonic Dolls examines some of the world’s most famous haunted dolls. It includes updates on documented cases and introduces five new dolls and their disturbing histories.

Here is some of what you’ll find inside:

Robert, the haunted doll from Key West. Much of the information about him is wrong. Discover the truth behind the legend—and it’s no less terrifying.

Annabelle, the demonic doll featured in The Conjuring and Annabelle. The real Annabelle is far more frightening.

Peggy, the Internet sensation. Why you should think twice before looking at her picture.

Elizabeth, a Victorian bridal beauty known as “England’s most haunted doll.” Be especially careful visiting her if you’re a man.

Discover which exotic tourist attraction is a pediophobe’s worst nightmare. You won’t believe it exists.

Clown dolls. Need more be said?

These stories and more fill this collection of true accounts from the world of haunted, possessed, and cursed dolls. This book may raise more questions than it answers, but one thing is certain: you’ll never look at a doll the same way again.

Himalaya - Exploring the Roof of...

John Keay

Himalaya is one of the world's most extraordinary geophysical, historical, environmental and social regions.  
 
Historian John Keay introduces us to the myriad mysteries of this vast, confounding and utterly fascinating corner of the planet, and makes the case that it is one of our most essential – and endangered – wonders. 
 
More rugged and elevated than any other zone on earth, it embraces all of Tibet, six of the world's eight major mountain ranges and nearly all its highest peaks. It contains around 50,000 glaciers and the most extensive permafrost outside the polar regions. Over an area nearly as big as Europe, the population is scattered, often nomadic and always sparse. Many languages are spoken, some are written and few are related. 
 
Religious and political affiliations are equally diverse. Borders are disputed, while jealous neighbours shy away from a common strategy for protecting an environment in which desert meets rainforest and temperatures can fluctuate between 30 and -30°C in the course of a single day. 
 
For centuries, Himalaya has captivated an illustrious succession of admirers, from explorers, surveyors and sportsmen, to botanists and zoologists, ethnologists and geologists, missionaries and mountaineers.
