A vivid and astonishing reckoning with the Gaddafi regime, from one of our most acclaimed and gifted international journalists The fall of Muammar Gaddafi, who was for forty-two years the great autocrat-madman on the world stage, is among the past decade’s most dramatic turning points.

The Nightstand Notes

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 239
Book Description
Airman Gary Beggs wanted to escape the hot desert of Libya where he was stationed in 1964, so he took a thirty-day leave to go to England. While he wanted a break from the noise, sweat, and sand, what he looked forward to most was flirting with English-speaking women for a change--preferably good-looking ones. By some type of godly intervention, he ended up in Denmark where he met a young Danish woman named Karin in a café. Even though she was with another man, he knew he had to get to know her better. When Karin suddenly disappeared, a frustrated Beggs decided to leave Denmark for good. After he went to the ship that would take him away, he saw a sign that read, "Ferry to Malmo," but it should have read, "You are leaving the land of fables and fairy tales by Hans Christian Anderson and are now entering the twilight zone." Beggs looks back at a series of decisions that led to romance, intrigue, mystery, suspense, love, and every other emotion he could have imagined in The Nightstand Notes--a true story filled with miracles, highs, and lows.

Giant Steps

Pages : 242
Book Description
In Punta Arenas, Chile, in November 1998, Karl Bushby set out on one of the most remarkable journeys of modern times. His plan is as simple as it is extraordinary: to walk up the Americas, across the Bering Strait, through Asia, Russia and Europe, back through the Channel Tunnel and returning to Britain in 2011. It is a journey of remarkable endurance -- 20 miles a day, 3,000 miles a year, 36,000 miles in total. By the time Karl returns, he will have crossed four continents, twenty-five countries, a frozen sea, six deserts and seven mountain ranges. But more than that, unlike other similar expeditions, Karl is attempting it single-handed: no huge support teams, no large sponsorship deals, this is the inspiring true story of a man facing remarkable odds -- and winning.

Navigation: A Memoir
Author: Joy Cowley
Publisher: Penguin Random House New Zealand Limited
ISBN: 1742287719
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 189
Book Description
In the world of New Zealand children's books, the name Joy Cowley engenders enormous respect and affection. She has published dozens and dozens of children's trade books of all kinds, such as the Mrs Wishy Washy series, the award-winning Shadrach trilogy and Hunter. And she has written literally hundreds of readers for the international educational book market. She is constantly in demand as a guest performer and speaker all over the world, but particularly in the US. Joy has also written a tantalisingly small number of very fine adult novels, beginning with Nest in a Falling Tree in the 1970s and including Classic Music and Holy Days, both published by Penguin in the early 1990s. Joy also has an additional dimension. She is an intensely thoughtful and spiritual person, who writes and practises what she preaches and owns a lodge/retreat centre at Fish Bay in the Marlborough Sounds created by Joy and her husband Terry. Navigation is a relaxed, beautifully written memoir, not in any sense a formal autobiography. It contains wonderful sections on Joy's life growing up in a small Manawatu town (her first job on leaving school was as a pharmacy assistant in Foxton), her family life and her exploration of the joys of writing. It touches down constantly at Fish Bay in the Sounds, where Joy writes passionately about the landscape, the seasons and the natural world around her.
