  Courage, Humanity, and the Call of a New Life – told by the woman who became "Mama Tenga".After a life-changing trip to West Africa, Katrin Rohde makes a radical decision: she sells all her possessions in Germany and emigrates to Burkina Faso. In the capital, Ouagadougou, she begins working with street children—boys fighting to survive amid poverty, drugs, and violence. What begins as a single act of compassion becomes a lifelong mission.With courage, discipline, humor, and a deep belief in the power of education and community, Katrin Rohde builds a network of support over the years: orphanages, women's shelters, workshops, schools, counseling centers, and training programs—all rooted in the principle of helping people to help themselves. Her initiatives represent real empowerment, social justice, and hope for change.Today, she is known across Burkina Faso as "Mama Tenga – Mother Fatherland." In this deeply personal and compelling memoir, Katrin Rohde tells her true story—an inspiring journey of female leadership, cross-cultural connection, and human resilience, rich with African wisdom and the courage to make a difference.

  "Engaging" stories of what the Motor City was like before the invention of the motor (Detroit Metro-Times). 
   
   
    
  Long before it became the twentieth-century automotive capital, Detroit was a muddy port town full of grog shops, horse races, haphazard cemeteries, and enterprising bootstrappers from all over the world. 
   
   
    
  In this lively book you'll discover the city's forgotten history and meet a variety of unforgettable characters—the argumentative French fugitive who founded the city; the tobacco magnate who haunts his shuttered factory; the gambler prankster millionaire who built a monument to himself; the governor who brought his scholarly library with him on canoe expeditions; and the historians who helped create the story of Detroit as we know it: one of the oldest, rowdiest, and most enigmatic cities in the Midwest.

  In the summer of 1961, Stanley Johnson, accompanied by Tim Severin and Michael de Larrabeiti, set out from Oxford on two BSA 500cc Shooting Star motorcycles to follow Marco Polo's route from Venice to Beijing. Although they came tantalizingly close to the Chinese frontier, they were forced to divert to India. With one motorcycle out of action, the three of them rode the remaining machine down the Grand Truck Road from Kabul to Calcutta. In 2023, Stanley set off again with his fourth son, Max, to finish the journey he had started sixty-two years earlier. With a brilliant camera-crew in tow, they followed Marco Polo's precise route across China, all the way to the Summer Palace of Kubla Khan in Xanadu and on to Beijing itself. This book tells the tale of an extraordinary dream come true.
