Arabian Sands is Wilfred Thesiger’s stunning account of five years spent crossing the Arabian Peninsula by foot and on camels, with nomadic Bedouin tribesmen as guides. Travelling between 1945 and 1950, the British explorer treks through Yemen, the Empty Quarter, Oman, and parts of the then Trucial States, crossing and re-crossing around 250,000 miles of this most inhospitable terrain. He was the first European ever to set eyes on the dunes and wadis of these deserts.

At age 22, Charlie Walker left home in search of adventure. Fleeing the boredom that comes with comfort, he set off on a secondhand bicycle. The aim was simple: to pedal to the furthest point in each of Europe, Asia, and Africa. He didn’t train or plan. He just started. The journey was an escape from an unremarkable existence, a pursuit of hardship, and a chance to shed the complacency of middle England. From the brutality of winter on the Tibetan plateau, to the claustrophobia of the Southeast Asian jungle, the quest provided Charlie with ample opportunity to test his mettle.

Bloomsbury presents My Sand Life, My Pebble Life written and read by Ian McMillan. My sand life, my pebble life. My life measured out in tides, coming in and going out.

Inspired by the ruins of an ancient Cistercian abbey at the bottom of her garden in Norfolk, she begins to research the monks' lives who once resided there and realises how much we may have to learn from monasticism. Renouncing the world, monks and nuns have acquired a hidden knowledge of how to live: they labour, they learn and they acquire 'the interior silence'. Monk's Medicine is a quest for that hidden knowledge - a pilgrimage to 10 monasteries round the world, from a Coptic desert community in Egypt to a retreat in the Japanese mountains.

Es sollte ein netter Familienurlaub werden. Die Schriftstellerin George Sand wollte ihrem rheumakranken Sohn den nasskalten Winter in Paris ersparen. Mit von der Partie war Komponist Frédéric Chopin, doch der "Winter auf Mallorca" war für das Liebespaar nicht so erholsam wie erwartet. In Palma de Mallorca existiert nicht ein einziges Hotel, es regnet in Strömen und einen Kamin zum Heizen gibt es nicht. Schließlich fliehen die Urlauber in die Berge zur Karthause von Valldemosa. Immerhin wird Chopin hier am mitgebrachten Klavier seine weltberühmten Präludien abschließen.

Much the way Donald Hall’s Seasons at Eagle Pond captured New England, Sky Time in Gray’s River captures the essence of the rural Northwest. Although Rober Michael Pyle is a lepidopterist, and southwestern Washington is notable for its lack of butterflies, something about the village of Gray's River spoke to him on a visit thirty years ago. Ever since then he has lived in the village, which was one of the first to be established near the mouth of the Columbia River and which still feels only tenuously connected to the twenty-first century.
