In November 1974, when Werner Herzog was told that his mentor Lotte Eisner, the film-maker & critic, was dying in Paris, he set off to walk there from Munich, `in full faith, believing that she would stay alive if I came on foot`. Along the way he recorded what he saw, how he felt, & what he experienced, from the physical discomfort of the journey to moments of rapture. It is a remarkable narrative
- part pilgrimage, part meditation, & a confrontation between a great German Romantic imagination & the contemporary world. This edition of the book is being published for the first time as a classic piece of proto-psychogeography, to coincide with the fortieth anniversary of the legendary director`s walk.

This book starts from the position that gender injustice is the greatest human rights abuse on the planet. It blights First & developing worlds; rich & poor women. Gender injustice impacts health, wealth, education, representation, opportunity & security everywhere. It is no exaggeration to describe the position of women as an apartheid, but it is not limited to one country or historical period. For this ancient & continuing wrong is millennial in duration & global in reach. Only radical solutions can even scratch its surface. However, the prize is a great one: the collateral benefits to peace, prosperity, sustainability & general human happiness are potentially enormous. All this because we are all interconnected & all men are of women too. ...

It is the greatest human rights abuse on the planet. It blights first & developing worlds, rich & poor women`s health, wealth, education, representation, opportunity & security everywhere. It is no exaggeration to describe it as an `apartheid`, but not limited to one country or historical period. Gender injustice, Shami Chakrabarti shows, is an ancient & continuing wrong that is millennial in duration & global in reach. As we move forward in the twenty-first century, a time of crises the world over, Shami Chakrabarti lays out the huge challenges we face with honesty & clarity. We have not yet done enough to create a more equal world: one where women & men share power, responsibility & opportunity. One that is potentially happier & more peaceful. One where no life is wasted, & everyone has a chance to fulfil their potential. Instead, we`ve been playing around at the edges. What`s needed now is radical change. From the disparity in the number of births to issues of schooling, work, ownership, faith, political representation & international diplomacy, Of Women outlines what needs fixing & makes clear, inspiring proposals about what we do next, putting women`s rights at the centre of the progressive political agenda. ...

In a world of Google Earth where we think that the world is fully mapped out, every discovery & adventure made, Off the Map is a journey through the remaining hidden geographies
- from disappearing island to gutterspaces, invisible cities & floating landmasses
- & is a stunning testament to how mysterious the world remains today. In the great tradition of pyscho-geography
- the history of places & what they tell us about ourselves
- Off the Map follows Iain Sinclair, Will Self, Robert Macfarlane & Judith Schalansky's Atlas of Remote Islands to give the real-life answer to Italo Calvino's Invisible Cities by weaving together what we see on maps to what the world is really like. It is celebration of both our love of places & the desire to imagine new places. Whether it is Seal&, an abandoned gun platform off the English coast that a British citizen claimed as his own sovereign nation, making his wife his princess, or Baarle, a patchwork of Dutch & Flemish enclaves where crossing the road can involve traversing multiple national borders; or moving villages, unclaimed deserts, secret cities or underground labyrinths, fully illustrated with original maps & drawing Off the Map shows the modern world from surprising new vantage points that will inspire urban explorers, & armchair travellers alike to consider a new way of understanding the world we live in.
