"A stunningly-written memoir and manifesto about the ethics of modern travel, written by someone best-placed to write about it. In this unique and inspiring book, travel journalist Nina Karnikowski takes an expedition to the very essence of travel, reflecting on the profound and transformative experiences to be had heading into the wild or just staying put, and how to travel in a way that is as nourishing for the places we visit as they are for us. Sharing evocative stories from a life spent travelling the world and learning from the wisdom of nature, Nina provides a map for anyone looking to broaden their horizons while learning to better care for our environment - from hiking and camping to forest bathing, gardening and meditation - and to best benefiting local communities. Weaving in travel journalism, activism, spirituality and personal development, The Mindful Traveller is a book for our times, sharing a revolutionary vision for our place on the planet"--Publisher's description.

In the spirit of Around the World in Eighty Days, Seth Stevenson sets off with fellow traveller Rebecca as expert navigatrix, determined to savour every unexpected bump in the road - and see everything you miss by flying over it. He bunks on cargo freighters, cruise ships and ferries, rides on rickshaws, motorbikes and double-decker buses, drives a car across the Australian outback, pedals a bicycle through Vietnam, rattles across Russia on the Trans-Siberian Railway - and even abandons Rebecca in Singapore to maintain his 'no fly' rule. This funny, wise and thoroughly entertaining armchair tour around the world is a timely reminder of what travelling should be.

In 2005, Australians Chris Bray (then 21 years old) and Clark Carter (20) dreamed of embarking on an adventure - one that would be completely different to any polar, mountaineering or river expedition ever before attempted. With virtually no prior experience they turned their attention to one of the largest islands in the world - Victoria Island in the Canadian Arctic - and vowed to cross it on foot. With humour and honesty, Chris Bray tells their thrilling story.
