  Starting out from Cape Town in South Africa, there is plenty to see as the journey heads north. The scenery changes from green fields and vineyards such as Stellenbosch to the deserts and giant sand dunes of Namibia. It is only further north that the desert changes to savannah. There are numerous safaris to see wild animals in their natural habitat including hippopotamus, the most dangerous animal on the continent and walking with cheetahs. There are close encounters with elephants in the Okavango and views of thousands of zebras before crossing the border in Zimbabwe. There are the magnificent Victoria Falls and a railway journey across the Zimbabwe countryside to Bulawayo with its great industrial centre and railway heritage. On safari through the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater, there is the opportunity for visitors to see all of the Big Five Game animals, the five most dangerous animals to hunt on foot. There are the Spice Islands, the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park where there is an opportunity to walk with gorillas and there were plenty more countries and experiences to enjoy and this was still only halfway up the continent to Cairo.

  Part culinary memoir and part travelogue, Carole Bumpus gathered this compilation of intimate interviews, conversations, stories, and traditional family recipes (cuisine pauvre) in the kitchens of French families as she traveled throughout the countryside. Travel with her through Champagne caves/wineries and historic cathedrals, local farmers’ markets, ancient potters’ guilds, and restaurant kitchens with wood-fire ovens. Learn how to make homemade Spinach-stuffed Tortellini with Bolognaise Sauce from the Champagne region, Crêpes and Watercress-stuffed Ravioli from the Lorraine, and Baekeofe and Kugelhopf from the Alsace. “Go blind” from the family stock of Eau de Vie liqueur and be treated to tales of foraging for snails for the infamous and now extinct Escargots Festival. And, on a somber note, listen to accounts of families forced from their communities during the German occupation of WWII in the Alsace and Lorraine, only to continue to struggle for survival after finally making their way home. 
  This book is a compilation of stories about making ends meet; about people being grateful for all they had, even when they had almost nothing; about the sharing of family jokes and laughter; and about family trials and triumphs. This book is about people savoring the life they have been given.

  Outside, the Tyrrhenian Sea laps gently against old stones and Eduardo's red hibiscus flowers close up for the night. I can hear distant strains of music bounce between the hills and imagine it's coming from Da Giannino's.
  In these essays, thirteen writers capture the magic and mirage of islands. Octavia Bright remembers a formative trip to the fish-shaped island of Elba in Tuscany; Megan Nolan sees Manhattan anew after discovering the joys of wandering the city alone; Noreen Masud flies to Tasmania, hoping to catch sight of a duck-billed platypus, and K Patrick takes a two-hour ferry from the Isle of Skye to the Isle of Lewis.
  Over the Water will transport you to shores far and near, a perfect travel companion filled with timeless essays.

  William Stanek's Arches - A...

  The Editors of Our American...

  Arches is a landscape built around openings - and around the forces that will eventually erase them.
  
  This guide moves beyond the familiar icons to reveal a park of fins, fractures, windows, towers, desert light, exposed walks, hidden rooms, and distance. From the park's first great walls to the Windows, Delicate Arch country, Devils Garden, and quieter passages between them, William Stanek's Arches explains not only what deserves attention, but what each part of the park asks from the traveler.
  
  Geology becomes field intelligence. Light becomes timing. Distance becomes judgment. A famous formation becomes more meaningful when the reader understands the stone around it.
  
  Literary, practical, and built for repeated use, this is an Arches guide for travelers who care about atmosphere as much as mileage, patience as much as accomplishment, and memory as much as the photograph.
  
  For first visits, return journeys, desert walkers, families, couples, solo travelers, and photographers.
