Die beiden berichten hier von Reisen durch Schleswig-Holstein und nach Schweden, wobei der herrlich skurrile Blick, den die beiden Vierbeiner auf die Menschen haben, belustigt und ihre Fähigkeit, ihre Umwelt mit allen Sinnen zu erkunden, das Campingerlebnis noch intensiver macht. Natürlich erfährt man auch viel von den bereisten Ländern. Also: Bullys an Bord und los geht's!

I tresserne mellem 1965 og 1969 byggede arkitekt Claus Heding en skonnert i midten af Bangkok. Han var ved lidt af en tilfældighed kommet til Thailand, men han indså hurtigt, at det var et fantastisk sted at bygge en båd. I 1968 slog hans lillebror Anders sig til ham. På det tidspunkt var båden lige blevet søsat, og Anders forventede hurtigt at komme til at sejle med fra Thailand tilbage til Danmark. Men sådan kom det ikke til at gå. Det tog et helt år, før båden var færdig, men så blev det også en spændende tur. Fra Thailand til Singapore og Bali og over Det Indiske ocean, hvor de strandede. Båden blev reddet, og de kunne fortsætte via Sydafrika, Sydamerika og Vestindien over Nordatlanten hjem til Danmark i 1971.Uddrag af bogenVi for op og forsøgte at få mere sejl sat op for at kunne få vendt båden. Men forgæves! Brændingen var begyndt at tage os, og pludselig råbte Claus, at vi skulle holde fast, og så styrede han båden direkte mod brændingen. Det viste sig at have været en klog beslutning, ellers var vi nok ikke kommet helskindede fra denne oplevelse. Det var bælgmørkt, men vi kunne mærke, hvordan båden blev fanget af den store brænding og løftet tre-fire meter for så at styrte ned på revet med sine tyve tons. Så en gang til op og ned med endnu et brag. Så væltede vi om på siden med dækket bort fra brændingen.Om forfatterenTyve år gammel drog forfatteren til Bangkok for at deltage i byggeriet af en skonnert, som han efter et år var med til at sejle hjem til Danmark. Siden da uddannede han sig som bådebygger og blev som sådan sendt til Tonga for FAO og siden Tanzania. Han endte med at tage en MA i filosofi og samfundsteori i England.

Stories Left in Stone explores the lives, histories, and artistic legacies of Cáceres and Extremadura. Author Troy Nahumko has lived in the old town of Cáceres, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, for over a decade. His journey starts at the Cave of Maltravieso, where prehistoric art stirs a profound curiosity about the city's rich tapestry of past and present. Amid the dazzle of cobbled medieval streets, 12th century Moorish walls, fortified palaces, and 60,000-year-old handprints, Nahumko asks how locals characterize their city and leave their own marks. Through personal narrative and interviews with locals, expats, and experts, he shares sociological, archaeological, and historical insights. Nahumko's storytelling paints a vivid and empathetic portrait of the people and heritage of this lesser-known province of Spain, as he surveys its history, cuisine, and stunning natural beauty.

"McNeil's deeply felt observations offer a transporting, thought-provoking lens on nature. It's captivating stuff." Publishers Weekly"Meditative and sumptuous… Latitudes is a rich, textured portrait of the natural world and a plaintive reflection on the destruction of climate change." Foreword Reviews"Full of lived experience, this book ponders the question of our own animal relationship with the planet, between what we know and what we feel, between mind and body, instinct and intellect." Julia Bell, author of Massive and Hymnal"Her shimmering prose brings into sharp focus the beauty of the remote places where we can glimpse – and sometimes hear – what our planet was like before us. And what it might be in the silence that will come after the frenzy of human dominance." Margie OrfordRelating thirty years of living in and writing about some of the world's last remaining wild places, Latitudes is a thrilling and thought-provoking exploration of a changing planet. At once memoir, journal and travelogue of Earth's wildernesses, Latitudes ranges across the Antarctic, the Arctic, the savannahs and deserts of Africa, the Southern and Atlantic oceans and the boreal forests of Canada.Latitudes is a powerful, innovative book of creative non-fiction that tracks one writer's life-long experience of reckoning with an age of dramatic ecological loss. It shows us the importance of listening to the living world that is speaking to us, if we open ourselves to hear its voice.

"In ten intimate essays, Daniel Saldaäna Parâis explores the cities he has lived in, each one home to a new iteration of himself. In Mexico City he's a young poet eager to prove himself. In Montreal -- an opioid addict desperate for relief. In Madrid -- a lonely student seeking pleasure in grotesque extremes. These now diverging, now coalescing selves raise questions: Where can we find authenticity? How do we construct the stories that define us? What if our formative memories are closer to fiction than truth?"--

With heart, humor, and razor-sharp observation, this intimate and incisive memoir traces the journey of a Black, queer woman as she searches the world for a place of security and acceptance to call homeI’ve never seen home as a permanent concept; it is an image crafted from untempered glass that threatens to shatter with lack of care.Jennifer Neal was born in the United States to a family that moved continuously for their own survival and well-being—from the Great Migration to the twenty-first century. As an adult, she has continued to travel the world as a Black queer woman, across two decades and four countries—from Japan to the US and then Australia to Germany, where she has settled for now.Throughout her moves, Neal threads her personal story of immigration with local Black histories and racial politics to provide context for her own experiences. The result is both a crucial examination of how racism plays a foundational role in modern-day immigration systems and a tender tribute to immigrants and their stories.An unwavering interrogation of colonialism and policy, love and loss, hypocrisy and resistance, My Pisces Heart demands meaningful conversation about not only the ways in which we live with our histories, but also how they live through us—urging an honest dialogue on why the West continues to grapple with its past and visualize its future.
