  Discover the haunted history of this Florida Gulf Coast city with tales of battles, murders, natural disasters and the restless spirits they left behind. 
   
  Located on the coast of Florida’s panhandle, Panama City offers plenty of charm, fun and sun. But it also has a dramatic past that still lingers among its old buildings and historic landmarks. Staff at the City Center for the Arts can still hear the footsteps of inmates pacing the cells of the Old County Jail that once occupied the grounds, and a phantom known as Virginia still frequents the elevators of the historic Bay County Courthouse.  
   
  Not all spirits bring doom and gloom, however—one local family learned how to befriend the resident ghost of their new home that was fond of whistling at night. Using extensive research and interviews, author Beverly Nield details the ghastly history of haunted Panama City.

  In recent years, travel has become increasingly more popular. Instead of buying expensive jewelry, the latest car or designer goods, people are now opting to buy new experiences. Whether you are just out of education, just got married, have a young family or are in retirement, everyone wants to travel. 
  However, travel can be expensive. In recent years, the fares for flights have increased dramatically. The days of flying for rock-bottom prices have sadly gone. 
  Or so we thought. 
  There are numerous ways that you can fly for reduced fares or for free, providing you know the right places to go and the right techniques to use. There are certain websites you can go to that offer highly reduced fares and even airline error fares, giving you the opportunity to fly for the cheapest prices imaginable. 
  One minute you’re sitting behind a screen, the next you’re lounging by the pool in some exotic location with a cocktail in hand, laughing to yourself when the person next door to you says they’ve spent thousands, while you’ve spent only a fraction of that price. 
  It does not need to be expensive to fly. You can travel from city to city, from country to country, for low prices if you know what you are doing. There are certain days of the week when it’s cheaper to fly, certain airlines are known for offering reduced prices, and there are websites that cater to budget airlines. 
  From this audiobook, you will discover how to fly around the world for ridiculously small amounts of money, and even for free.

  A brilliant wit once said that, "to most Americans, even though they have never been there, San Francisco is their favorite town". The existence of that belief is the strongest proof of the glorious vacation experience that awaits the visitor to that "city by the Bay", that "Paris of the West", a "diverse, beautiful and cosmopolitan city" that excites millions of visitors each year. It is truly "the favorite town" of America, and no agrees more than our author. Here is her thoroughly revised audiobook tribute to a massively popular destination. While describing his dining experiences throughout "Bohemian San Francisco," Clarence Edwords paints an historic panorama of California cuisine with all its cosmopolitan influences.

  The acclaimed author travels across Ethiopia collecting folktales in this travelogue featuring many of the fabulous stories she heard. In 1967, at the age of 23, Elizabeth Laird set off for Addis Ababa, Ethiopia’s capital city, to start her first teaching job. She was introduced to Emperor Haile Selassie, made a pilgrimage across the mountains on foot to the ancient city of Lalibela, hitched a ride on an oil tanker across the Danakil Desert, and was arrested—briefly—for a murder she did not commit. Back in Britain, Laird established herself as a major author of fiction for children and young adults, but she always wanted to return to Ethiopia. Her chance came in the late 1990s, when the British Council in Addis Ababa invited her to collect folk stories from every region of the country. Encountering ex-guerrilla fighters, camel traders, Coptic nuns and tribespeople en route, Laird has written a remarkable account of her journey interwoven with a treasure trove of stories featuring princes and maidens, snakes and lions, zombies and hyena-women.

  A Midwesterner contemplates the view of America from a remote Icelandic village: “A pleasure to read and ponder.” —Booklist (starred review) 
   
  A Minnesotan of Icelandic ancestry, Bill Holm had traveled all over the world, gathering material for a number of rich and memorable books. Then he decided to journey to the land his family had long ago left behind for the United States, and moved into a town with one general store in a nation of a few hundred thousand people. This book recounts his time at Brimnes, his fisherman’s cottage on the shore of a creek in northern Iceland. There, he embarks on a very different life in a very different world, and from thousands of miles away, considers the fate of America—“my home, my citizenship, my burden”—in these provocative, compelling essays. 
   
  “A master storyteller.” —Los Angeles Times 
   
  “Bill Holm’s life in [this] place of spare beauty will make readers wish they had a Brimnes where they could restore their souls.” —Pioneer Press (St. Paul)
