They can have no idea of the culture shock in store for them… no idea they'll become reluctant chicken farmers and own the most dangerous cockerel in Spain… no idea they'll help capture a vulture and be rescued by a mule. Will they stay, or will they return to the relative sanity of England?

    Traveler's Guide to Jewish Germany

    A comprehensive traveler’s guide to important Jewish historical and cultural sites in Germany. No country in the world, outside of Israel itself, contains more Jewish historical sites of importance than Germany does today. The largest Jewish cemetery in Europe, the Weissensee, is in Berlin, while the deepest, and perhaps most beautiful, mikveh (ritual bath) in Germany dates from the thirteenth century and can be found in Friedberg.  Ranging from large synagogues to former prayer rooms to cemeteries, the sites listed serve as testaments to the life and culture of German Jewish communities for more than one thousand years. They have withstood the ravages of time as well as the barbaric efforts of the Third Reich to obliterate them.  Today, these sites are becoming increasingly popular tourist attractions. However, many are off the beaten path and are visited only occasionally. That is just one reason why Traveler’s Guide to Jewish Germany is so valuable. In addition to listing locations of the sites (which may also be found on the maps contained in the book), the authors advise keeping a flexible schedule to accommodate unexpected closings.  Also included are tips for getting around in Germany, utilizing city and town tourist offices, and asking questions for directions. Proper etiquette is also addressed, and a comprehensive chronology of major historical events in German Jewish life and culture is provided.  Many Jewish rituals and traditions, including family names, the Yiddish language, and Talmudic teaching, have their origins in the Jewish communities of Germany. Now, these communities may finally be explored. Praise for Traveler’s Guide to Jewish Germany“Strongly recommended for people interested in history who would also like to go on a journey of discovery.” —Katholische Nachrichten-Agentur

    ‘For the first time in my life I felt that death was a possibility; a stupid, pointless, lonely death on the aptly named Mondulkiri Death Highway.’ 
    The Ho Chi Minh Trail is one of the greatest feats of military engineering in history. But since the end of the Vietnam War much of this vast transport network has been reclaimed by jungle, while remaining sections are littered with a deadly legacy of unexploded bombs. For Antonia, the chance to explore the Trail before it was lost forever was a personal challenge she couldn’t ignore – yet at times it would be a terrifying journey. 
    Setting out from Hanoi on an ageing Honda Cub, she spent two months riding 2000 miles through the mountains and jungles of Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. Battling inhospitable terrain and multiple breakdowns, she met former American fighter pilots, tribal chiefs, illegal loggers and bomb disposal experts. 
    A thrilling, poignant tale of war, bravery and learning to face your fears."I enormously enjoyed every page." Dervla Murphy.

    In the summer of 2002, Shannon Leone Fowler, a twenty-eight-year-old marine biologist, was backpacking with her fiancé and love of her life, Sean. Sean was a tall, blue-eyed, warmhearted Australian, and he and Shannon planned to return to Australia after their excursion to Koh Pha Ngan, Thailand. Their plans, however, were devastatingly derailed when a box jellyfish wrapped around Sean's leg, stinging and killing him in a matter of minutes as Shannon helplessly watched.Shattered and untethered, Shannon's life paused indefinitely so that she could travel around the world to find healing. Travel had forged her relationship with Sean, and she hoped it could also aid in processing his death. Though Sean wasn't with Shannon, he was everywhere she went-among the places she visited were Oświęcim, Poland (the site of Auschwitz); war-torn Israel; shelled-out Bosnia; poverty-stricken Romania; and finally to Barcelona, where she first met Sean years before.Cheryl Strayed's Wild meets Helen Macdonald's H Is for Hawk in this beautiful, profoundly moving memorial to those we have lost on our journeys and the unexpected ways their presence echoes in all places-and voyages-big and small.
