Mark Twain enjoyed immense public popularity during his lifetime, & was already one the best-known authors in America when, in 1895, he set out on a worldwide lecture tour, undertaken to help him recover from bankruptcy following the failure of his publishing company. Starting in Paris, he journeyed across America to Vancouver, & thence, via Hawaii & Fiji, to Australia & New Zeal&, in both of which countries he travelled widely. At the end of the year, he sailed from Sydney to Colombo, & became captivated by the Indian sub-continent, its people & their customs. Arriving in South Africa four months after the Jameson Raid, he had ample opportunity to employ his acerbic wit on the deteriorating relationship between the British & the Afrikaaners. Following the Equator is the fifth & most interesting of Twain’s travel narratives, & the one that most bears out the declaration that he once wrote to his mother: “I am wild with impatience to move – move – Move!” Stanfords Travel Classics feature some of the finest historical travel writing in the English language, with authors hailing from both sides of the Atlantic. Every title has been reset in a contemporary typeface to create a series that every lover of fine travel literature will want to collect & keep. ...

Following the Wild Bees is a delightful foray into the pastime of bee hunting, an exhilarating outdoor activity that used to be practiced widely but which few people know about today. Thomas Seeley, a world authority on honey bees, vividly describes the history & science behind this lost pastime & how anyone can do it. Following the Wild Bees is both a unique meditation on the pleasures of the natural world & a guide to the ingenious methods that compose the craft of the bee hunter. Seeley explains how one finds a patch of flowers humming with honey bees, captures & sumptuously feeds the bees, & then releases & follows them, step-by-step in whatever direction they fly, back to their secret residence in a hollow tree, old building, or abandoned hive. The bee hunter`s reward is a thrilling encounter with nature that challenges mind & body while also giving new insights into the remarkable behavior of honey bees living in the wild. Drawing on decades of experience as a bee hunter & bee biologist, Seeley weaves informative discussions of the biology of wild honey bees with colorful historical anecdotes, personal insights, & beautiful photos. Whether you`re a bee enthusiast or just curious about the natural world, Following the Wild Bees is the ideal companion for newcomers to bee hunting & a rare treat for armchair naturalists. ...

Following Fish

In a coastline as long and diverse as India`s, fish inhabit the heart of many worlds - food of course, but also culture, commerce, sport, history and society. Journeying along the edges of the peninsula, Samanth Subramanian delivers a kaleidoscope of extraordinary stories. Following Fish conducts rich journalistic investigations of, among others, the use of fish to treat asthmatics in Hyderabad; of the preparation and the process of eating West Bengal`s prized hilsa; of the ancient art of building fishing boats in Gujarat; of the fiery cuisine and the singular spirit of Kerala`s toddy shops; of the food and the lives of Mumbai`s first peoples; of the history of an old Catholic fishing community in Tamil Nadu; and of the hunt for the world`s fastest fish near Goa. Pulsating with
pleasure, adventure and discovery, and tempered by nostalgia and loss, Following Fish reveals a series of unknown Indias in a book as revealing of the subcontinent as any three times its length.
