Andersen is a vivid and reflective travel-inspired work that captures the landscapes, culture, and atmosphere of Sweden through the eyes of a keen observer and storyteller. Blending descriptive writing with personal reflection, the book offers readers a series of literary "pictures" that bring the natural beauty and cultural richness of the country to life.

The narrative moves through scenes of Swedish countryside, towns, waterways, and seasonal changes, presenting each with careful attention to detail and mood. Andersen's observations highlight the harmony between people and nature, as well as the quiet strength and character of everyday life in different regions of the country.

With a lyrical and immersive style, H. C. Andersen transforms travel impressions into evocative literary sketches. His writing emphasizes atmosphere and emotion, allowing readers to experience not only what Sweden looks like, but also what it feels like to move through its varied landscapes.

Pictures of Sweden stands as a graceful example of travel literature. Its blend of descriptive richness and reflective insight continues to appeal to readers who enjoy immersive portrayals of place, culture, and the quiet poetry of the natural world.

William Stanek's Pacific...

The Editors of Our American...

The Pacific Northwest is connected by water and divided by terrain.

Ocean meets rain forest. Volcanoes rise above cities. Glaciers feed rivers. Mountain passes open and close the interior. Ferries, coastal roads, gorge country, forests, high desert, and long seasonal routes make movement part of the region's identity.

William Stanek's Pacific Northwest brings the great park worlds of Washington and Oregon into one coherent journey without pretending they are close simply because they share a map.

Olympic, Rainier, North Cascades, Crater Lake, and their surrounding scenic landscapes each demand a different relationship to weather, distance, road, elevation, and time. The guide helps readers understand those contrasts and make stronger choices among them.

For road travelers, hikers, photographers, families, couples, solo explorers, and anyone trying to connect mountains and coast without turning the trip into a windshield marathon, this is the Northwest as a living travel world.

South Away - The Pacific Coast...

Meaghan Marie Hackinen

Shortlisted for the Sixth Annual Rakuten Kobo Emerging Writer Prize—Nonfiction Category! 
 
 
 
Shortlisted for Best Trade Non-Fiction at the 2020 Book Publishing Awards! 
 
 
 
South Away follows Meaghan Marie Hackinen and her sister in the adventure of a lifetime: bicycling from Terrace, British Columbia, down the West Coast to (almost) the tip of the Baja Peninsula. Along the way Hackinen battles with the elements in Vancouver Island's dense northern forests and frigid Mexican deserts; encounters strange men, suicidal highways, and monster trucks; and makes some emergency repairs as ties and spokes succumb to the ravages of the journey. Luckily, the pair meet some good people along the way and glean some insight about the kindness of strangers. 
 
 
 
A rare road trip story with two female leads, this travel memoir also chronicles an inner journey, as the author begins to better understand her relationship with her adventurous (and not-so-adventurous) family. South Away tells an engaging and personable tale, with imaginative and memorable depictions of land and sea along the ever-winding coast.

Running on Empty - 18000 Miles...

Guy Deacon

'An immense feat of endurance, a remarkable achievement, and a truly inspirational adventure filled with courage and hope' – Sir Ranulph Fiennes
At the age of sixty, and having lived with Parkinson’s disease for over ten years, Guy Deacon CBE set out on one last adventure: to drive solo from his home in the UK 18,000 miles and through twenty-five countries to Cape Town on the southern tip of Africa. This incredible journey, across Europe and down the full length of Africa, took the former British Army officer over twelve months. Along the way, he broke down five times, underwent one emergency evacuation, and took 3,650 prescription pills.
There are only a handful of vehicles each year which attempt this difficult journey; many never complete it. Ongoing conflicts in Libya, South Sudan, Mozambique and many other countries make any journey exceptionally dangerous. In central Africa, road conditions, particularly in the rainy season, often make the going treacherous. Further hazards include illegal checkpoints, extortion, contaminated fuel and a lack of services.
Guy drove, lived and slept in his VW Transporter, often in remote spots, hundreds of miles from the nearest village or town. Reliant on patchy GPS, he often got lost. His journey was, quite simply, an incredible feat by a man travelling alone with Stage 3 Parkinson’s disease, when simply putting on a pair of shoes can take half an hour.
But not only did Guy’s journey fulfil a childhood dream to drive the length of Africa, his mission was also to raise global awareness of Parkinson’s disease, for which there is currently still no cure.
