When Jamie Maslin decides to hitchhike the entire length of the Silk Road, he decides to travel first and plan later. Then, unexpectedly stranded in Iran - a country he's only read about in newspapers - he wonders whether he'll make it out alive. After crossing the border on foot from Turkey, Maslin finds himself suddenly plunged into the subversive, contradictory world of Iranian subculture, where he is embraced by locals who are happy to show him the true Iran as they see it....

The Annapurna Circuit in Nepal is the most popular footpath in Asia. Its genius lies in its design.

An adrenaline-fueled travel memoir of life in the wild among the planet’s most ferocious and fascinating predators.

Christopher Columbus needed a sponsor for a dangerous expedition, but the King of Portugal wasn't interested. He repackaged his proposal for the Queen of Spain. She put Columbus on retainer and the rest is history. Columbus may not have been the first to discover America, but he had a great publicist. That's where Jeff Blumenfeld comes in. For many years, using a PR specialty called adventure marketing, Jeff has connected explorers and their projects with corporate sponsors looking to demonstrate product performance in extreme conditions.

Join Michael Wigge as he immerses himself into fascinating subcultures, rides with Amish farmers in old-fashioned buggies, sleeps on the street with the homeless, and, with the help from alternative lifestylers, learns to nourish himself with flowers. Wigge had only three concerns during his travels: How do I get some food? How will I get to my next destination? Where can I sleep? …all without money! This unusual travel diary combines adventure with humor and contains surprising revelations about when money is really needed - and when it's not.

Delhi exists in a kind of quantum state: In Delhi, all things are true at once. When the Big Apple no longer felt big enough, Dave and Jenny moved to a city of 16 million people and, seemingly, twice that many horns honking at once. Delirious Delhi depicts India's capital as the two experienced it, from office life in the rising tech hubs to the traffic jam philosophy that keeps people sane in the gridlock leading to them. With only their sense of humour as their guide, Dave and Jenny set out to explore a city in which ancient stone monuments compete with glass-clad shopping malls to define the landscape.

Naturalist Joe Hutto’s latest adventures in wildlife observation take him to Wyoming’s Wind River Mountains.

But it also plays a significant role in the longstanding conflict between Turkey and Armenia.

In 1987, thirty-seven footer Trishna, crewed by army officers, became the first Indian boat to circumnavigate the globe. They braved rogue waves sweeping away life-saving equipment, sailed through pods of whales frolicking perilously close, survived the worst storm to have hit Sydney in nearly a century, taking over fifteen months and covering over fifty thousand kilometers. Major A.K. Singh, one of the members of this historic crew, vibrantly describes the epic voyage.

"Non basta essere competenti storici dell'arte per descrivere i luoghi in cui Paolo Sorrentino ha ambientato le splendide scene del suo film 'La Grande Bellezza'. Bisogna conoscere la città in profondità e aver esplorato alcuni tra i suoi angoli più segreti e privati, che spesso non appaiono neanche sui libri." Costantino D'Orazio ha investigato per anni la sua città, ne ha scandagliato i luoghi magici e sconosciuti, ne ha scrutato l'anima invisibile ai turisti.

The Last Great Mountain tells the story of the first ascent of Kangchenjunga the third highest but reputedly the hardest mountain in the world. It was an astonishing achievement for a British team led by Everest veteran Charles Evans. Drawing on interviews, diaries and unpublished accounts, Mick Conefrey begins his story in 1905 with the disastrous first attempt on the mountain by a team led by Aleister Crowley, explores the three dramatic German expeditions of the the late 1920s and brings it all to a climax 50 years later with the first ascent by Joe Brown and George Band.

C'è chi prepara ogni sua valigia compilando meticolose liste degli oggetti da portare per essere sicuro di non dimenticarsi nulla. C'è chi ci infila dentro roba alla rinfusa all'ultimo minuto. C'è il viaggiatore zaino in spalla, e più è sdrucito e impolverato più se n'è orgogliosi. C'è chi compra un bauletto Vuitton pure per il cagnolino. E poi ci sono le interminabili attese al nastro trasportatore dell'aeroporto d'arrivo, l'ansia che lei si sia smarrita con tutto quello che ci serviva per il viaggio o tutto quello che dal viaggio volevamo riportare a casa.

È proprio così, a Severgnini i viaggiatori interessano davvero: li segue, li osserva, li descrive in modo esilarante, senza però giudicarli o condannarli. "Eravamo turisti. Siamo diventati viaggiatori. Imperfetti, ma viaggiatori" sostiene l'autore. Siamo curiosi, rumorosi, avventurosi, frettolosi, generosi. Leggiamo poco e compriamo troppo. Siamo complessivamente onesti, e giustamente diffidenti. Siamo tolleranti. Mentre gli stranieri che visitano l'Italia si innervosiscono quando s'imbattono in altri stranieri, noi italiani, incontrando altri italiani, festeggiamo l'avvenimento.

Se la fata Morgana vive a Bagno a Ripoli e il Diavolo fa i ponti a Borgo a Mozzano, se a Chiusi ci si può perdere nei labirinti di Porsenna e a Firenze bisogna prestare attenzione al quadrilatero della morte, allora bisogna riconoscere che la Toscana è una regione ancora da scoprire e che, dietro l'arte e la cultura di questa terra, esiste un mondo oscuro: un paesaggio dove l'Ulivo del Sabba di Magliano, la spada nella roccia di Montesiepi, il borgo fantasma di Palaia e la volpe d'oro di Poggibonsi sono solo alcune tappe di un viaggio in cui il mistero è l'attore principale.
