Summary

Through the Wilderness of Brazil by Theodore Roosevelt is a riveting exploration of the Brazilian wilderness, drawing on the author's own experiences during his South American expedition. The book combines elements of travelogue, natural history, and adventure narrative, providing a vivid and detailed account of the landscapes, wildlife, and indigenous peoples of Brazil. Roosevelt's descriptive prose and keen observations offer readers a captivating glimpse into the beauty and challenges of the uncharted wilderness. Set against the backdrop of the early 20th century, the book reflects the spirit of exploration and discovery that characterized the era. Theodore Roosevelt, known for his adventurous spirit and passion for conservation, embarked on the Brazilian expedition as a way to escape the pressures of politics and reconnect with nature. His firsthand encounters and deep respect for the wilderness informed his writing, adding depth and authenticity to the narrative. Roosevelt's background as a naturalist and conservationist shines through in his thoughtful reflections on the importance of protecting the environment. I highly recommend Through the Wilderness of Brazil to readers interested in adventure, nature, and exploration. Roosevelt's engaging storytelling and profound insights make this book a compelling read for anyone seeking to experience the wonders of the Brazilian wilderness through the eyes of a true pioneer.

    From the Amazon Best Selling author of "Japan Is Very Wonderful," "Meditation for Angry People" and the Pearl Escapes mini-guides.This is a book for people who wake up at 5am (or 4am or 3am) worrying. Maybe you don’t call it worrying, maybe you call it planning or organising. Sometimes it is helpful. Sometimes genius and the truth arrives at this time. But sometimes it is just your mind or your ego spinning lies, keeping you awake, freaking out your body, making you sick, torturing you, trying to keep you small.I've been there. Years, months and just hours ago. And it is so wonderful to get over it, to be able to choose to get up and use this time to greet the dawn, to get clarity and change my life, or to soothe the beast and be able to go back to sleep in peace, and wake again knowing that there is nothing to be afraid of, that I am life and my life is perfect and we are all perfect.This is a book about faith, about adventure, about living with my heart open and letting go of the fear of being myself.In June 2016 I decided to sell my house of 22 years and leave my comfort zone. I had no idea where I would go next, but slowly the Camino de Santiago showed itself and I decided, with no rucksack or hiking experience to start...In the first part of this story, I left England and flew to Seville and travelled on to Granada, where I stayed first in a treehouse and then a cave… before I picked up my rucksack and headed north on the Camino.Through vineyards and, accidentally, up mountains, I walked, and then back by bus and on, trying somehow to follow the yellow arrows of the Way. Accidentally ending up with my own private spa, turning round again, and heading to stay in a hostel for the first time in the UNESCO town of Segovia.

    A unique, funny picture of Britain... A love letter to bookshops and the vagaries of public transport.' Richard Osman 
 
Why play to 12,000 people when you can play to 12? In Autumn 2021, Robin Ince's stadium tour with Professor Brian Cox was postponed due to the pandemic. Rather than do nothing, he decided instead to go on a tour of over a hundred bookshops in the UK, from Wigtown to Penzance; from Swansea to Margate. Packed with witty anecdotes and tall tales, Bibliomaniac takes the reader on a journey across Britain as Robin explores his lifelong love of bookshops and books - and also tries to find out just why he can never have enough of them. It is the story of an addiction and a romance, and also of an occasional points failure just outside Oxenholme.
