Expedition from the Backdoor documents a feat of personal strength & tenacity in the face of physical & social limitations. It traces the expedition: a 1000km walk, along footpaths, towpaths & mountain trails, from Yvette`s home in Shropshire, to Knoydart in Scotl&, from its modest beginnings through its evolution into a life-changing adventure. The book`s written in chronological order & in first person, using diaries, blogs & expedition log-books. This gives it immediacy & honesty, as well as a level of detail that allows the reader to share in the experience. The unique elements of the expedition, which build progressively in the book, were the limits that Yvette placed upon herself in order to make it meaningful, & to make it a genuine test of her survival skills: sleeping rough with no tent, carrying her kit (amounting to nearly 20 kilos) & all her food other than wild sources that she foraged, avoiding technology (including industrially produced foods & modern fuels & stoves), & staying true to a self-reliant ethic
- all these in the context of illness, injury & menopause. The sections are varied & cover things such as Yvette`s changing feelings & motivations, practical details in the planning of the walk & changes in health & mobility. There are also specific pieces about food preparation & kit selection.

” Expedition Naga” is a multisensory trip into one of the world`s most remote & least accessible regions. Diaries written by British administrators/explorers during punitive expeditions in the 1920`s & -30`s against the Naga, a people once notorious for their headhunting activities, are compared with contemporary notes written during the last 5 years when the authors were given special permission to do fieldwork in the long forbidden border areas between India & Myanmar (Burma). Four hundred contemporary & historic photographs, most of which are published here for the first time ever, along with film & sound material on the enclosed free DVD, allow the reader to explore both the present & the past of one of the least known, yet most interesting cultural realms as it has never been possible before. The book will appeal to travellers, anthropologists, people interested in exploration & photography. Furthermore, the subject is spectacular in that many rituals, such as headhunting & other rites associated with fertility, are still taking place, the area having been closed for such a long time. The culture of the Naga people is amazing to witness in the twenty-first century when such cultural traits rarely exist. Furthermore, they are not associated with Indian culture, but rather with African or Indonesian. ...
