Summary

Traveling for Terry Bryant is an unpredictable adventure...or misadventure rather. 
The business of training people on how to be safe in their work environment has taken him near and far. He has run the gamut in his attitude from being angry about the randomness of traveling to savoring the variety. 
At some point, among the urine-soaked mattresses, two to be exact, and unexpected naked ladies in his room, Terry found a way to experience joy in the unpredictable nature of air travel and budget motels. 
In addition, Terry has survived a knife fight, been detained at a military base, and managed to navigate an uncomfortable confrontation with a couple of booze-soaked honeymooners.  
Terry's stories both delight and empower. From the first chapter, you will gain a new, positive perspective from a man who turns the strife of life into a wild and exciting adventure. 
Do not miss these, and many more fun and hilarious stories courtesy of the simple man from rural Arkansas.

    Capture the vibrant flavors of southern Spain with this award-winning cookbook featuring recipes from each of Andalucia’s 8 provinces. Acclaimed food writer Elisabeth Luard offers a personal, geographical and culinary tour of Andalucia in this beautifully illustrated cookbook. Along with mouthwatering recipes, Luard describes how the geography and history of the region have influenced its culinary traditions—and intriguing combination of hearty peasant fare and delicate seasonings that are a legacy of Moorish invasions. Each province draws on its own magnificent natural larder, and the recipes, such as hot gazpacho from Huelva, salt cod with potatoes and peppers from Jaén, pork and beans with chard from Seville and chickpea and wheat soup from Almería, reflect this diversity. Having lived in the area for several years, Luard interweaves personal memories with a wealth of cultural and historical information. The text is accompanied by the author's own watercolors of dishes and scenes of Andalucian life.   Winner of the Glenfiddich Award for Best Food Book

    A Welshman’s witty and gritty sailing adventure memoir with “the bite of fine sea salt and a whiplike delivery” (Kirkus Reviews). Follow the supreme adventurer, Tristan Jones, as he takes a solitary and intrepid six-year voyage on his small craft, The Sea Dart. Covering a distance twice the circumference of the globe, from the lowest body of water in the world—the Dead Sea—to the highest—Lake Titicaca in the Andes—Jones finds himself "a thousand times beyond the limit of endurance." With tenacity stronger than any obstacle, Jones refuses to give up his adventure, even after falling prey to several disasters that could have killed him. Struggling against the mighty current of the Amazon, hauling his boat over the Andes Mountains and capsizing off the Cape of Good Hope do not discourage him. This gripping story is a testament to his indomitable spirit and thirst for danger.

    The author of An Embarrassment of Mangoes offers “a mouthwatering slice of Caribbean culture” in this blend of travel memoir and cookbook (New York Post).   While sailing around the Caribbean, Ann Vanderhoof and her husband Steve track wild oregano-eating goats in the cactus-covered hills of the Dominican Republic, gather nutmegs on an old estate in Grenada, make searing-hot pepper sauce in a Trinidadian kitchen, cram for a chocolate-tasting test at the University of the West Indies, and sip moonshine straight out of hidden back-country stills.   Along the way, they are befriended by a collection of unforgettable island characters: Dwight, the skin-diving fisherman who always brings them something from his catch and critiques their efforts to cook it; Greta, who harvests sea moss on St. Lucia and turns it into potent Island-Viagra; sweet-hand Pat, who dispenses hugs and impromptu dance lessons along with cooking tips in her Port of Spain kitchen.   Back in her galley, Ann practices making curry like a Trini, dog sauce like a Martiniquais, and coo-coo like a Carriacouan. And for those who want to take these adventures into their own kitchens, she pulls 71 delicious recipes from the stories she tells, which she places at the end of the relevant chapters. The Spice Necklace is a wonderful escape into a life filled with sunshine (and hurricanes), delicious food, irreplaceable company, and island traditions.

    In 1862, Lucie Duff Gordon left her husband and three children in England and settled in Egypt, where she remained for the rest of her short life. Seeking respite from her tuberculosis in the dry air, she moved into a ramshackle house above a temple in Luxor, and soon became an indispensable member of the community. She set up a hospital in her home where all were welcome, from slaves to local leaders. Her humane, open-minded voice and her enchantment with her Arab neighbours shines across the centuries through these letters – witty, life-affirming, joyous and self-deprecating.
