    With the quick wit and dry humour of a true Irishman, David "Irish" Anderson documents his epic eighteen-month motorcycle adventure from Ireland to South Africa in this captivating memoir. 
    What begins as a lofty idea in a pub becomes a reality after six years of planning when Irish and his wife purposefully set out with their two heavily loaded motorcycles. Somewhere along the way, Irish loses his wife, but amidst the heartbreak, turmoil, and challenges on the long and often bumpy road, he gains a whole new perspective on life. 
    Follow his exciting journey as he does what you're absolutely not supposed to do when you see and elephant, involuntarily exfoliates himself during a desert sandstorm, and receives plenty of well-meaning but impractical advice from strange characters. 
    With a telling eye for detail, Irish artfully captures the characteristics of each country he visits, the encounters with people he meets, the difficulties he faces, and the joy of discovery that comes with travelling to unfamiliar places, providing the listener with a rich tapestry of experience.

    An essential guide to one of the world's most remarkable, and often misunderstood, cities by the author of Why the Dutch Are Different. 
     
     
     
    When Ben Coates injures his leg and needs to rebuild his strength by walking, he finds himself presented with an exciting opportunity: to rediscover the city he has been working in for over a decade, at a slower pace. He devises ten walks, each demonstrating a different chapter of Amsterdam's history, from its humble beginnings in the early 1200s as a small fishing community through two Golden Ages, fueled by the growth of the Dutch colonial empire, two world wars, and countless reinventions. 
     
     
     
    Join Coates as he meanders past beautiful townhouses and glittering canals, dances at Pride celebrations, witnesses the King's apology at Keti Koti, attends a WW2 memorial, gets high at a coffee shop, walks through the red-light district, and gazes in awe at Rembrandt paintings, all the while illuminating modern Amsterdam by explaining its past. 
     
     
     
    Blending travelogue and quirky history, The Invention of Amsterdam is an entertaining and sharply observed portrait of a fascinating and complicated city.
