  I Should Have Left the Whiskey -...

  I Should Have Left the Whiskey is the first book in the Rambling On trilogy – compelling tales from a time when motorcycles were left in the shed and global exploration slowed to the pace of cycling. 
  These diaries divulge two very different journeys in Asia: because progressing into enlightened India required some back-pedalling through darkest Thailand en route to China. 
  After impulsively purchasing a bicycle in Bangkok and taking to the frantic city streets, Graham was hit by the realisation that life in the fast lane could have an impact on his health. 
  Pedalling away from the madding crowd, he hauled his heavy load to mountain settlements lost somewhere in time. Desperate and dehydrated, he was subjected to all that the lonely road bestows upon the soul. 
  It soon became apparent that whiskey was not the best choice of refreshment. However, he rebelliously refused to abandon the bottle or the mission, keeping his glassy eyes fully focused on what was ahead. 
  A year later, having eliminated some of the heavier baggage from that journey, he found himself in southern India. Surely, this coast-hugging, palm-shaded backwater route would be a breeze … but the easy road is not always the right path. 
  Had reckless decisions taken him beyond his abilities? With flashbacks, foresight and the riotous brutal honesty that is confined to a diary, all will be revealed. 
  This audio book contains bonus outtakes from the recording sessions.

  Unlock the hidden rhythms of Russian conversation with A Language Learner’s Guide to Russian Idioms, narrated by Ernest Timkin and crafted by linguist Dana Levina. This audiobook isn’t just about memorizing phrases—it’s a cultural passport, revealing how Russians weave humor, history, and wisdom into everyday speech. Imagine transforming awkward pauses into confident exchanges by knowing when to say someone’s “counting crows” (считать ворон) instead of daydreaming, or calling out empty promises as “noodles hung on ears” (вешать лапшу на уши). Whether you’re a traveler aiming to navigate local markets without getting “led by the nose” (водить за нос), a student tired of “thumbing wooden blocks” (бить баклуши) instead of studying, or a professional striving to “take the bull by the horns” (брать быка за рога) in meetings, these idioms bridge the gap between textbook Russian and authentic dialogue. Each expression unfolds with vivid context: Learn why “walking on heels” (ходить по пятам) means relentless pursuit, how “sitting on needles” (сидеть как на иголках) captures nail-biting anxiety, and when to “keep your ear sharp” (держать ухо востро) in tricky situations. Perfect for learners craving cultural fluency, this guide turns idioms from curiosities into tools, helping you decode films, literature, and casual chats with ease. Dive in—before you know it, you’ll be swapping stale translations for phrases that make Russians lean in and smile. Удачи! (Good luck!)

  Mixtec Empire - Skilled Artisans...

  The Mixtec civilization, known as the Ñuu Savi or "People of the Rain," emerged in the rugged mountains and fertile valleys of what is now Oaxaca, Mexico. Their origins date back to the Preclassic period, around 1500 BCE, when small agricultural communities began to flourish in the Mixteca Alta, Mixteca Baja, and Mixteca de la Costa regions. These early settlements were shaped by the challenging geography, with steep hills and limited arable land requiring innovative farming techniques. Over centuries, the Mixtec people developed sophisticated agricultural systems, including terracing and irrigation, which allowed them to sustain growing populations and establish permanent communities. 
  Mythology played a central role in Mixtec identity, reinforcing their connection to the land and legitimizing the rule of their elite class. The Mixtec creation story, recorded in their intricate codices, tells of divine ancestors emerging from a sacred place known as Apoala, a cave associated with the origins of humanity. These ancestors, believed to be both human and divine, established the first Mixtec lineages, which would later claim authority over the various city-states. This mythology was not just a story but a political tool that reinforced the power of Mixtec rulers, linking them directly to the gods and the forces of nature. 
  The early Mixtec communities were organized into small chiefdoms, each ruled by a hereditary elite. These leaders controlled land, resources, and religious ceremonies, ensuring stability and continuity within their societies. Over time, as populations expanded and rivalries grew, these chiefdoms evolved into larger political entities, forming the foundation for the powerful Mixtec city-states that would dominate the region in later centuries.
