Do you have the urge to just pack up your life, head out the door, explore the world for months or years on end, and never look back? If this sounds like you, do you know where to begin? The thought of taking a long-term trip may sound daunting when you take a moment to consider it. Journeys of this type have numerous research topics that short-term travelers never come across when planning a vacation. When shorter trips are planned to an hourly schedule months before you even leave, the freedom, fears, challenges, and amazing moments that long-term travel brings are never realized. But when compared to the alternative of only taking one two-week vacation per year for the rest of your life, doesn't taking 26 years of vacation in a year-long trip sound amazing? Is there anything else you'd rather be doing with those 52 weeks of your time? Written by the expert world traveler's behind the popular long-term travel blog Living the Dream, The Long-Term Traveler's Guide is the definitive planning resource for all those looking to cut loose from the standard path and head out to see the world for weeks, months, or years on end.

"I CAN DO IT, I WANT TO FLY!" started out as one of the bedtime stories I would tell my youngest son. It evolved over time and became a lesson on the power of the words can or can't. There were times the story was shorter than the previous time I told it and times I would elaborate details depending on how enthused I was about story time. As a busy Dad, I looked forward to this time of night. I hope this story helps empower your child with a lesson that can be applied in all phases of life.

Robert had never used his father’s invention for personal gain, but saving the life of his brother was a risk he just had to take. Unfortunately, no matter how much preparation is involved, things can never go as planned when you’re playing with the very fabric of the space-time continuum. If Robert succeeds, he will rob the family who is plotting to kill his brother of their power from the moment they acquired it, deep in the past. But if he fails, it could be more than just his brother’s life that is in jeopardy. Either way, he will certainly alter history and create a new timeline of events, which in turn will radically change the life he has always known. But will there be a price to pay for his actions? Consequences for “playing God?” Perhaps most importantly, if things go wrong, could any of the damage ever be fixed?

The ideal introduction to the history of modern Oman from the eighteenth century to the present, this book combines the most recent scholarship on Omani history with insights drawn from a close analysis of the politics and international relations of contemporary Oman. Jeremy Jones and Nicholas Ridout offer a distinctive new approach to Omani history, building on postcolonial thought and integrating the study of politics and culture. The book addresses key topics including Oman's historical cosmopolitanism, the distinctive role of Omani Islam in the country's social and political life, Oman's role in the global economy of the nineteenth century, insurrection and revolution in the twentieth century, the role of Sultan Qaboos in the era of oil and Oman's unique regional and diplomatic perspective on contemporary issues.

A comprehensive study of Oman presenting a portrait of a nation through its diplomacy.For Oman, the idea of diplomacy refers not only to the country's interactions in the global community, but also to the way in which Omani life itself is shaped by principles and practices of social and political engagement that are essentially diplomatic. Such principles are grounded in ideals of tact and tolerance that have developed over a long historical period.This is therefore a cultural history: an historical account of the formation of a distinctive Omani culture. It argues that this culture is where Oman's contemporary foreign policy has been nurtured, and that it is in this culture that a specific conception and practice of diplomacy has been developed.Key Features*the most comprehensive history in English of Oman's international relations*draws upon key research into Omani religious and social traditions, and ethnographic studies of language and social customs. *provides a perspective which places Oman at its centre, rather than as a background actor in broader colonial narratives, Cold War calculations or global concerns over the relationship between Islam and the West*presents an account of Oman's contemporary behind-the-scenes role in relation to Iranian US relations, and the Middle East peace process*the first book to connect Oman's international relations with considerations of Omani history, culture and social organisation
