Synopsis

The science of archeology has contributed to our knowledge some of the most fascinating chapters in culture history, for it has brought to light, from the night of the past, periods of human development hitherto unrecorded. As the paleontologist through his method has revealed faunas whose like were formerly unknown to the naturalist, the archeologist by the use of the same method of research has resurrected extinct phases of culture that have attained a high development and declined before recorded history began. No achievements in American anthropology are more striking than those that, from a study of human buildings and artifacts antedating the historic period, reveal the existence of an advanced prehistoric culture of man in America.

    El Valle de Benasque - la Vall de Benás - reúne las más altas montañas del Pirineo, los macizos de la Maladeta, Llardana o Perdiguero que han subyugado a los viajeros a lo largo de los tiempos. Impresionantes vertientes que reflejan los numerosos lagos que descansan bajo cada circo glaciar, creando paisajes de una belleza que corta el aliento. A sus pies, prados de montaña, bosques, ríos, aguas que bajan en cascadas que multiplican las vistas en rincones sorprendentes.
    En este libro proponemos una serie de excursiones que recorren la cascada de Aiguallut bajo el Aneto, la Maladeta en las aguas de Gorgutes, los saltos de agua entre los árboles del Botánico, el idílico valle de Estós, la sorprendente montaña caliza de Cotiella, el potente circo que rodea el ibón de Llosás, las cascadas de Sarllé, Gorgues Galantes, Alba, Espigantosa, las maravillas de Batisielles y Escarpinosa....
    Y los pueblos, pequeños todos, donde admirar la parte habitada de los valles, degustar la gastronomía pirenaica y apreciar los detalles de una arquitectura que habla de clima, de recursos limitados sabiamente aprovechados, de iglesias modestas pero que traen ecos del medievo y de una historia apasionante.

    'Sometimes I wonder, if I had known that it was going to take me fourteen years to paint this painting of the Crucifixion with Douglas as Jesus, and what it would take for me to paint this painting, would I have been as happy as I was then?'
    
    Susan Alison MacLeod, a Glasgow School of Art graduate with a dark sense of humour, first lays eyes on Douglas MacDougal at a party in 1988, and resolves to put him on the cross in the Crucifixion painting she's been sketching out, but her desire to create 'good' art and a powerful, beautiful portrayal means that a final painting doesn't see the light of day for fourteen years.
    
    Over the same years, Douglas's ever-more elaborately designed urine-based installations bring him increasing fame, prizes and commissions, while his modelling for Susan Alison, who continues to work pain and suffering on to the canvas, takes place mostly in the shadows. This Good Book is a wickedly funny, brilliantly observed novel that spins the moral compass and plays with notions of creating art.

    Have you ever wondered where horse milk vodka comes from? Or how to fight off a mob of Malaysian monkeys? Is it bad luck to wash cow poop off of your shoe? Travel vicariously with Sam across the Orient to find the funny but true answers. 
    Sam savors every local culture he encounters much like Conan O’Brian and the late Anthony Bourdain — embracing the people, their food, and especially their curiosities. His humor and infatuation with humanity’s diversity fuel each story. 
    Teaching in Korea and Vietnam since 2015, Sam uses his time out of the classroom to explore the rest of Asia. His short five-book series, Itchy Feet Travel Tales in Asia, covers his adventures (and misadventures) in Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Mongolia, Myanmar, Russia, South Korea, Thailand, and Vietnam. 
    These stories of the sublime and the surreal will have you giggling and gawking as you follow Sam through the weird and wonderful world of the East.
