Synopsis

Journey into the Enchanting Embrace of the Caribbean: Unveiling Its Hidden Gems and Cultural Treasures

In this captivating book, we embark on an extraordinary journey through the Caribbean, a region of breathtaking beauty and rich cultural heritage. Beyond its renowned beaches and crystal-clear waters, the Caribbean holds a wealth of hidden gems and untold stories, waiting to be discovered by curious travelers.

Our exploration begins with a dive into the region's diverse landscapes, from the lush rainforests of Dominica to the towering peaks of Jamaica's Blue Mountains. We'll uncover the secrets of ancient civilizations, colonial encounters, and the enduring legacy of slavery, gaining a deeper understanding of the Caribbean's complex history.

We'll immerse ourselves in the vibrant cultures of the Caribbean people, expressed through their art, music, dance, and cuisine. From the pulsating rhythms of reggae to the delectable flavors of jerk chicken, the Caribbean's cultural tapestry is a testament to its resilience and creativity.

But our journey also delves into the challenges facing the Caribbean, including poverty, inequality, and environmental degradation. We'll examine the impact of tourism on the region, both positive and negative, and discuss ways to ensure that tourism benefits local communities and preserves the Caribbean's natural and cultural heritage.

As we traverse this enchanting region, we'll encounter a kaleidoscope of cultures, each with its own unique story to tell. We'll meet the Rastafarians of Jamaica, with their message of peace and love; the Garifuna people of Belize, descendants of African and indigenous ancestors; and the French Creoles of Martinique, who have preserved their language and traditions despite centuries of colonial rule.

This book is an invitation to discover the Caribbean beyond the typical tourist trail, to uncover its hidden treasures and immerse ourselves in its rich heritage. It is a journey of discovery, enlightenment, and inspiration, leaving us with a deeper appreciation for the region's beauty, its culture, and its people.

Walking on Thin Air - A Life's...

Geoff Nicholson

Geoff Nicholson has been walking his whole life. Wherever he is and wherever he goes in the world, he walks and writes about what he sees and feels. Here he reflects on the nature of walking, why we do it, how it benefits us and, in some cases, how it can damage and even destroy us. Geoff's recent diagnosis with a rare, incurable form of cancer has made him all too aware of his own mortality. Sooner or later there will be a last step, a last excursion, a final drift, for him just as there will be for all of us. Geoff vows to continue to walk for as long as he can.
This moving, vital book describes his own walks and relates them to the walks of street photographers, artists and writers, such as Garry Winogrand, Diane Arbus, Sophie Calle, Jorge Luis Borges and Virginia Woolf, among many others. Walking on Thin Air is a book about mortality and, above all, a celebration of being alive.
