＜p＞＜strong＞“Thought-provoking, encouraging, and inspiring” (Gretchen Rubin) reflections on the power of travel to transform our daily livesーfrom the iconoclastic travel writer, scholar, and author of ＜em＞Vagabonding＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞For readers who dream of travel, yearn to get back out on the road, or want to enrich a journey they’re currently on, ＜em＞The Vagabond’s Way＜/em＞ explores and celebrates the life-altering essence of travel all year long. Each day of the year features a meditation on an aspect of the journey, anchored by words of wisdom from a variety of thinkersーfrom Stoic philosopher Seneca and poet Maya Angelou to Trappist monk Thomas Merton and Grover from ＜em＞Sesame Street＜/em＞.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Iconoclastic travel writer and scholar Rolf Potts embraces the ragged-edged, harder-to-quantify aspects of travel that inevitably change travelers’ lives for the better in unexpected ways.

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Mad Travelers A Tale of Wanderlust, Greed and the Quest to Reach the Ends of the Earth【電子書籍】[ Dave Seminara ]

＜p＞At twenty-three, William Simon Baekeland was well on his way to becoming the world’s best traveled person. The “billionaire” heir to a great plastics fortune had already visited 163 countries, but his real passion was finding ways to visit the world’s most challenging destinationsーwar torn cities, disputed territories, and remote or officially off-limits islands at the margins of the map. He earned rock-star status in the world of extreme travel by finding ingenious ways to bring the world’s most widely traveled people to difficult-to-reach and forbidden places. But when his story began to unravel, an eccentric group of hyper-well-traveled country collectors were left wondering how they had allowed their obsession to blind them to the warning signs that William Baekeland wasn’t who they thought he was.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞Mad Travelers: A Tale of Wanderlust, Greed and the Quest to Reach the Ends of the Earth＜/em＞ delves deep inside the subculture of country collecting, taking readers to danger zones like Mogadishu and geographical oddities like Norway’s nearly impossible-to-reach Bouvet Island. Along the way, this raucous tale of adventure and international intrigue illuminates the perils and pleasures of wanderlust while examining a fundamental question: why are some people compelled to travel, while others are content to stay home? Mad Travelers is a perceptive and at times hilarious account of how the pursuit of everywhere put the world’s greatest travelers at the mercy of a brilliant young con man.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Soon to be an HBO documentary.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Wanderlust A Social History of Travel【電子書籍】[ Laura Byrne Paquet ]

＜p＞Where did passports come from? Why did 1930s stewardesses carry wrenches? And how did teetotalers shape the modern vacation? Wanderlust answers these questions and more, as author Laura Byrne Paquet delves into the social history of travel. Now a multi-billion dollar industry, travel is also one of the world's oldest. Paquet follows hypochondriac Greeks to the Oracle of Delphi, checks out the bedbugs in medieval coaching inns, enjoys a Finnish sauna with a group of well-bred Victorian ladies, and relaxes on a transatlantic liner with some of England's Bright Young Things from the 1920s. In breezy style, she explains the difference between a traveller and a tourist and explores the future of travel, from grand plans for commercial space travel to underwater hotels. As the book reveals, we've always loved to travel -- the only thing that keeps changing is how we get from here to there.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Wanderlust Een filosofische geschiedenis van wandelen【電子書籍】[ Rebecca Solnit ]

＜p＞Wandelen is waarschijnlijk de meest simpele en dagelijkse bezigheid die we kennen. In een wereld waar het steeds makkelijker is geworden om ons snel en zonder fysieke inspanning te verplaatsen, laat cultuurhistorica en bekroonde bestsellerauteur Rebecca Solnit ons zien hoe belangrijk het is om te lopen, nietig te zijn in een eindeloos landschap, te wandelen zonder te weten waarnaartoe, of te verdwalen in een stad. Solnit verbindt de evolutie van het menselijk lichaam ? ons vermogen om rechtop te staan en ons voort te bewegen ? met de belangrijkste wandelaars uit de geschiedenis en literatuur: van Kierkegaard, Thoreau en Gary Snyder tot Jane Austens romanpersonage Elizabeth Bennet. Wanderlust is een fascinerend, persoonlijk portret waarin Solnit de diepgaande, onlosmakelijke relatie tussen wandelen en denken blootlegt. 'Solnit is briljant en de sociale kwesties waar ze over schrijft zijn zeer urgent.' DE CORRESPONDENT Over Wanderlust : 'Radicaal, menselijk, humoristisch, hartstochtelijk en belangrijk.' ALAIN DE BOTTON 'Een schrijver met verrassende frisheid en precisie.' NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW 'Ik loop van kust naar kust dus neem ik Rebecca Solnits diepgravende en fascinerende Wanderlust mee om me te laten inspireren.' THE OBSERVER 'Magistraal.' THE GUARDIAN 'Deze aangename en verhelderende geschiedenis van het wandelen ontvouwt zich als een gesprek met een bijzonder goed ge?nformeerde en breed geori?nteerde medewandelaar.' PUBLISHERS WEEKLY 'Het thema van Wanderlust mag gewoontjes lijken, wat zij ermee doet is ronduit fascinerend.' L.A.

古本, ノンフィクション, 英語で予約する, 洋書【古本】 Texas Wanderlust: The Adventures of Ducth Wurzbach - Douglas V Meed (Texas A&M University Press) 【紙書籍】 9780890967348

タイトル: Texas Wanderlust: The Adventures of Ducth Wurzbach著者: Douglas V Meed出版社: Texas A&M University Press出版日: 1997年01月01日古本ほぼ新品。傷みが少なく、しっかりと製本された、優れた、マークのないコピーです。リサイクル可能なアメリカ製の封筒で発送します。すべての注文に 100% 返金保証付き。German immigrant Dutch Wurzbach lived the frontier history of Texas from the arrival of his family in Galveston in 1846 through the Council House Treaty, a stint with the Texas Rangers, service in the Confederate army, and another fifty years in the Lone Star State. Eight-year-old Dutch immigrated to Texas with his family in 1846. After the death of his mother, he worked for a while for Texas Indian agent R. S. Neighbors, then ran away to San Antonio. Over the next few years, he faced Indian attacks, broke mules for the U.S. Army, met Big Foot Wallace and other famous frontiersmen, sojourned at Fort Graham and Fort Inge, and experienced numerous adventures of frontier Texas. At the age of sixteen he joined the Texas Rangers in a campaign against the Commanches in North Texas. Scouting parties, horse races with the Indians, and blizzards all marked this phase of his life. On a trip with a military train heading for California on the "Jackass Mail" route across the desert, he participated in a major Indian battle at Maricopa Wells, Arizona. He joined General Crabb's filibustering expedition into Sonora, but after the slaughter of that force, he headed off to search for gold in the and joined the Mexican army in fighting Apaches. Eventually he returned to San Antonio, where he married and began a family. Not one to remain sedentary, when the Civil War began, he joined the Thirty First Texas Cavalry and served in the almost forgotten campaigns waged in Missouri, Arkansas, and Louisiana. Conversion of the regiment into infantry and desertion by their commanding officer led to the men's being sent off to Indian Territory, where freezing temperatures, starvation, and demoralization awaited them before General Taylor took command and marched them back to Louisiana. In the Red River Campaign that followed, the Texans defeated Union General Banks, but Dutch became ill and went blind, a condition that was not cured until 1870, by which time he had returned to San Antonio to raise a family of thirteen children and to live out his years. Dutch Wurzbach died in 1930 at the age of ninety-two, after spending the morning frolicking with his great-grandchildren, including the author of this book. This adventure-filled biography is based on recollections Wurzbach dictated to his daughter in 1915 when he was seventy-eight years old. These twenty-nine printed pages were published by a historical society in San Antonio in 1937 but have not been widely available. Meed has spent several years researching and expanding the memoirs and adding historical background.
