  Petra is one of the world’s greatest wonders—a city carved from rose-red rock that still stirs awe thousands of years after its creation. Hidden in the Jordanian desert, this ancient Nabataean capital feels like stepping into another world, where towering sandstone facades glow in the shifting light and narrow canyons lead to breathtaking discoveries. 
  Mark Ferdinand takes you through Petra’s unforgettable highlights: the dramatic approach through the Siq, the majestic Treasury, the sprawling Royal Tombs, and the climb to the Monastery with its sweeping desert views. Along the way, you’ll uncover the history, legends, and enduring magic that make Petra more than a destination—it’s an experience of wonder and timeless beauty.

  How to Travel - An Ancient Guide...

  A transporting anthology of ancient Greek and Roman travel writings that capture the thrill of exploration and discovery—from Europe to the Holy Land and Egypt to IndiaAt long last, a travel guide to the ancient world for the modern tourist—written by the ancients themselves. How to Travel gathers classic texts from Greek and Roman writers to explore what today’s readers can learn from ancient encounters with unfamiliar peoples, places, and customs.The Greek historian Herodotus (ca. 484–425 BCE) is one of the most famous travelers of antiquity. His Histories, which chronicle his and others’ encounters with foreign peoples and places, have fascinated readers for millennia, and have much to teach about the secrets of good travel. In How to Travel, Herodotus and Tacitus take us on tours of Central Asia, Egypt, and Germania, while pilgrims like Pausanias and the Christian nun Egeria guide us through Greece and the Holy Land. Readers are whisked away to India to experience the ways of forest-dwelling sages and to the far reaches of Africa. And as if Earth weren’t enough, the satirist Lucian takes us to the Moon. But this whirlwind tour of antiquity is more than a pleasure cruise. Seneca cautions travelers that, go as far as we may, we can never escape ourselves. Gratitude, Egeria says, is the traveler’s proper response for the privilege. And Homer reminds us that, ultimately, there’s no place like home.Featuring vivid new translations, an inviting introduction, and the original Greek and Latin texts on facing pages, How to Travel captures the thrill of exploration and discovery—and how new experiences, fresh vistas, and foreign cultures can change the traveler.

  Hotel Britannia: A seaside story...

  A state-of-the-nation look at modern Britain through the lens of a lasting emblem of grandeur, and decline 
  ‘Today there is no one alive who remembers what it felt like when Great Britain was the richest country in the world. But there is a way to access that feeling. You just walk along the seafront of the medium-sized coastal town of Scarborough, and look up.’ 
  Hotel Britannia explores the story of modern Britain through the iconic Grand Hotel in Scarborough, Britain’s first seaside resort. It charts the hotel's journey from symbol of unprecedented wealth and power to flashpoint in Britain’s nostalgia-ridden culture wars. And it dives into the Grand’s past and present, interviewing historians, Reform campaigners and Afghan asylum seekers, local characters and celebrities – even working at the Grand as a cleaner – in search of what made Britain great, and what might make us great again. 
  In a stylish blend of social history and memoir, Rowlatt brings to light the intertwined destinies of a seaside community and its cherished architectural gem, now in the hands of 'Britain's worst rated hotel chain' (Which?). What can this decaying icon tell us about who we were, and who we are? The story she uncovers is as much about our present as our past. 
  This insightful tale of class, regional identity, and belonging is both a provocative look at our social history and, against all odds, a story of optimism and pride.
