For centuries much of Europe was in the hands of the very peculiar Habsburg family. An unstable mixture of wizards, obsessives, melancholics, bores, musicians & warriors, they saw off -- through luck, guile & sheer mulishness -- any number of rivals, until finally packing up in 1918. From their principal lairs along the Danube they ruled most of Central Europe & Germany & interfered everywhere -- indeed the history of Europe hardly makes sense without them. Simon Winder's extremely funny new book plunges the reader into a maelstrom of alchemy, skeletons, jewels, bear-moats, unfortunate marriages & a guinea-pig village. Danubia is full of music, piracy, religion & fighting. It is the history of a dynasty, but it is at least as much about the people they ruled, who spoke many different languages, lived in a vast range of landscapes, believed in many rival gods & often showed a marked ingratitude towards their oddball ruler in Vienna. Readers who discovered Simon Winder's genius for telling wonderful stories of middle Europe with Germania will be delighted by the eccentric & fascinating stories of the Habsburgs & their world. ...

`I have discovered the secret that after climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb. I have taken a moment here to rest, to steal a view of the glorious vista that surrounds me, to look back on the distance I have come. But I can only rest for a moment, for with freedom comes responsibilities, & I dare not linger, for my long walk is not ended.` Long Walk to Freedom In 1994, Nelson Mandela became the first president of democratic South Africa. Five years later, he stood down. In that time, he & his government wrought the most extraordinary transformation, turning a nation riven by centuries of colonialism & apartheid into a fully functioning democracy in which all South Africa`s citizens, black & white, were equal before the law. Dare Not Linger is the story of Mandela`s presidential years, drawing heavily on the memoir he began to write as he prepared to finish his term of office, but was unable to finish. Now, the acclaimed South African writer, Mandla Langa, has completed the task using Mandela`s unfinished draft, detailed notes that Mandela made as events were unfolding & a wealth of previously unseen archival material. With a prologue by Mandela`s widow, Graca Machel, the result is a vivid & inspirational account of Mandela`s presidency, a country in flux & the creation of a new democracy. It tells the extraordinary story of the transition from decades of apartheid rule & the challenges Mandela overcome to make a reality of his cherished vision for a liberated South Africa. ...

SHORTLISTED FOR THE EDWARD STANFORD ADVENTURE TRAVEL BOOK OF THE YEAROn 1st April 2011, rower & adventurer Sarah Outen set off in her kayak from Tower Bridge for France. Her aim was simple: to circle the globe entirely under her own steam
- cycling, kayaking & rowing across Europe, Asia, the Pacific, North America, the Atlantic & eventually home. A year later, Sarah was plucked from the Pacific ocean amid tropical storm Mawar, her boat broken, her spirit even more so. But that wasn`t the end. Despite ill health & depression, giving up was not an option. So Sarah set off once more to finish what she had started, becoming the first woman to row solo from Japan to Alaska, as well as the first woman to row the mid-Pacific from West to East. She kayaked the treacherous Aleutian chain & cycled North America, before setting out on the Atlantic, despite the risk of another row-ending storm... Dare to Do is more than an adventure story. It is a story of the kindness of strangers & the spirit of travel; a story of the raw power of nature, of finding love in unexpected places, & of discovering your inner strength. It is about trying & failing, & trying again, & about how, even when all seems lost, you can find yourself.
