Sinopsis

The Empty Lands are that great area of northern Scotland between Ullapool and Cape Wrath, and between Bonar Bridge and John O'Groats. It is truly the land of the Mountain and the Flood, where land and sea mingle in unsurpassed glory.
From the pier-head at Ullapool to the Smoo Caves at Durness and from Dornoch Cathedral to Dounreay Nuclear Establishment, Tom Atkinson describes it all, with his usual deep love for the land and its people.
Myths and legends, history, poetry and a keen eye for the landscape and all its creatures make this book and essential companion for all who travel to that magnificent part of Scotland.

    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.

    7 Areas Without Laws - Exploring...

    Laws are the invisible threads that hold societies together, shaping behavior, enforcing order, and establishing the boundaries of right and wrong. Yet, scattered across the world, there are rare places where laws hold little to no authority—zones where governments have little presence, where no single entity enforces regulations, and where the concept of governance is fluid or entirely absent. These places, whether by accident of history, geopolitical disputes, or deliberate rejection of authority, exist on the fringes of civilization.  
      
    This book explores seven of these anarchic zones, each with its own unique circumstances and challenges. From the open ocean, where maritime law is a complex tangle of loopholes and jurisdictions, to the frozen expanse of Antarctica, where no country claims true ownership, these areas defy traditional governance. Some, like Bir Tawil—a small strip of land between Egypt and Sudan—are unclaimed due to border disputes, while others, like Slab City in California or Freetown Christiania in Denmark, are self-declared autonomous communities that reject the rules of mainstream society.  
      
    The existence of these lawless zones raises important questions: Can true freedom exist without laws? Is lawlessness always synonymous with chaos, or can people thrive outside the framework of government? In some of these areas, the absence of enforcement has led to disorder, crime, and exploitation. Pirates take advantage of international waters to operate freely, and smugglers use ungoverned territories to traffic goods and people. In other places, however, the lack of laws has fostered alternative communities built on mutual cooperation, artistic expression, and self-sufficiency.
