The Travel Bog Diaries - One...

Liz Deacle

Meet Liz. Mother of two teenage kids and wife of Brian.
Faced with midlife & realising that unless she gets her skates on, she'll never get to live out her fantasy of travelling the world with her family (and be like that woman from Eat, Pray Love), Liz plans a year-long globetrotting trip.
Annoyingly, things don't quite go as expected.
This is probably because Liz is slightly deluded & chooses to ignore the fact that her husband has acid reflux & can't eat anything foreign, & her teenage children would rather scroll funny Snapchat videos than look at old things in Europe.
From an ill-fated yoga class in India, ancient ruin humiliation in Italy, to getting sloshed at a charity festival in rural England, Liz’s endless mishaps and hysterical far-flung flops make for an unforgettable experience that no family could ever forget.
Even if they wanted to.
Armed with humour, optimism, this feel-good hilarious pee-your-pants, laugh-out-loud memoir will have you changing your life and racing to book your next adventure.
Prepare to laugh, cry & curl your toes.
Clench those buttocks, fellow traveller. We're off on a (real) family vacation...!

The Tangut Kingdom - And Its...

Rolf Hedger

The Tangut people, an ethnic group of uncertain origins, gradually emerged as a distinct force in northwestern China. They are believed to have descended from the Qiang tribes, a collection of nomadic and semi-nomadic groups that roamed the Tibetan Plateau and the Ordos region. Over centuries, they migrated and settled in what is now modern-day Ningxia and parts of Gansu and Inner Mongolia, where they established communities and developed a unique cultural identity. Their position between the Tibetan Plateau, the Central Asian steppes, and the Chinese heartland made them an important intermediary in regional affairs.
The Tangut rise to prominence was influenced by their interactions with the dominant powers of the region. The Tibetan Empire, which controlled vast areas of western China until its decline in the ninth century, played a significant role in shaping early Tangut culture and governance. The collapse of the Tibetan Empire created a power vacuum that allowed smaller groups like the Tangut to assert their independence. At the same time, the weakening of the Tang Dynasty left northern China vulnerable to fragmentation, further enabling the Tangut to carve out a space for themselves.
By the tenth century, the Tangut had developed into a formidable military and political entity, leveraging their strategic location along trade routes to establish economic and diplomatic ties with neighboring states. They maintained relations with the Song Dynasty to the east, the Tibetan remnants to the south, and the nomadic Khitan Liao Empire to the north. These interactions not only enriched Tangut society but also introduced them to a variety of political models, from the bureaucratic governance of the Chinese dynasties to the tribal confederations of the steppe.

Crossing Latitude

Reece Davis

Every line on a map tells a story — of power, of possibility, of people divided and connected in equal measure. 
In Crossing Latitude, acclaimed travel writer Reece Davis traces the invisible boundaries that carve the planet, journeying along parallels and meridians from the equator to the Arctic Circle. Through deserts, oceans, and city streets, he meets those who live where these unseen lines dictate climate, culture, and fate. 
From fishermen on the Tropic of Capricorn to scientists at 60° North, Davis uncovers how geography shapes humanity’s rhythm — and how the act of crossing a line, literal or metaphorical, reveals who we truly are. 
Thought-provoking, vivid, and deeply human, Crossing Latitude invites readers to see the world not as a series of borders, but as a living, breathing web of connection.

The Autonomous Cruiser

Michelle Monro

With the expansion of the cruising sector, it is difficult to keep up as the goalposts keep changing, but one thing hasn't changed: the travel industry's inability to provide a disabled traveller with what they need to plan a stress-free adventure.
Information on accessibility can be hard to find and the internet is filled with dead and out-of-date sites. Being disabled can be hard enough but I believe information is power, the power to be able to control our choices and know what we are going to come up against when we pick a cruise.
This general how-to on cruising is the first of its kind, aimed at giving you the power to make your own choices, take control and organise the perfect seafaring holiday, getting the best out of both the ship and its destinations.
Bon Voyage
