The astonishing story of a young man`s upbringing in a remote tribal village in Burma & his journey from his strife-torn country to the tranquil quads of Cambridge. In lyrical prose, Pascal Khoo Thwe describes his childhood as a member of the Padaung hill tribe, where ancestor worship & communion with spirits blended with the tribe`s recent conversion to Christianity. In the 1930s, Pascal`s grandfather captured an Italian Jesuit, mistaking him for a giant or a wild beast; the Jesuit in turn converted the tribe. (The Padaung are famous for their `giraffe women`
- so-called because their necks are ritually elongated with ornamental copper rings. Pascal`s grandmother had been exhibited in a touring circus in England as a `freak`.) Pascal developed a love of the English language through listening to the BBC World Service, & it was while working as a waiter in Mandalay to pay for his studies that he met the Cambridge don John Casey, who was to prove his saviour. The brutal military regime of Ne Win cracked down on `dissidents` in the late 1980s. Pascal`s girlfriend was raped & murdered by soldiers, & Pascal took to the jungle with a guerrilla army. How he was eventually rescued with Casey`s help is a dramatic story, which ends with his admission to Cambridge to study his great love, English literature.

True to the spirit of Smoke: a London Peculiar magazine, From the Slopes of Olympus to the Banks of the Lea is a collection of reflections, photographs & illustrations documenting the changes & moods of urban life & landscape during the Olympic Games. From being awarded the Games to the building works & to the closing ceremony, Smokes reflects the politics & social issues raised by the event (2005-2012). The book offers the views & ears of the people living & working in & around the Olympics sites. These are stories gathered in the old streets, the factories, the pubs & the allotments: that ‘urban wasteland’ (the controversial message the government put forward), that disappeared under the relentless march of the diggers. Expect little from what actually happened in the Olympic Park during the games, but plenty of political undertones. This is the real London, everyday life in the capital, the dealing with the tube travel (and the tfl website precious advice), the tourists, the missiles placement, odd cycle lanes, new traffic rules etc. The stories beautifully reflect the changing mood from the initial negativity & apathy to the sense of accomplishment & success. British sense of humour transpires thorough the book, while the black & white photographs & illustration enriches this fine & witty example of urban research & observations. ...

From The Mull To The Cape

Midges like damp areas, low sunlight, no wind and dark clothes (to land on, not to wear). So your best bet for a midge-free, summer Highland holiday is to don a white robe and take a packet of porridge to, say, Ethiopia at midday.Like many middle-aged baby-boomers, Richard Guise yearned to take on a physical challenge before he reached the age where walking across the kitchen would fall into that category. This is the tale of his 600-mile, 16-day bike ride through the Highlands of Scotland, from the Mull of Kintyre in the south to Cape Wrath in the north, taking in long sections of the dramatically beautiful west coast along the way.Guise fills us in on the history and geography of this unique part of Britain, often taking a wry view at odds with the traditional guidebooks. He
is the classic observant outsider, picking up on the oddity and beauty that locals or tourists might not see and telling it all with gentle humour - even amid severe bouts of traditional Highland weather.
