This is a guide book for anybody who wants to learn more about all of the ins and outs of the ruins in Peru, including all of the different theories harbored by intellectuals in the region regarding their construction and the various Peruvian plant medicines. At the end of the day, most guide books to Peru only offer you part of the story. A typical guide will give you plenty of information on hotels and restaurants, but you probably won't even consider going to even 95% of the options presented simply due to your location and the traveling costs of being picky.Anyone who wants to experience the culture and history of Peru will prefer this book over one which simply provides details about food, lodging, and travel around the country. From an American perspective, it can be very difficult to understand the Peruvian country due to its deep historical roots and indigenous cultures that are still very active today. This book doesn't hold back on many different strange ideas and options that you will undoubtedly encounter during your adventures in Peru.This guide will provide you with: - Guides getting to and from all of the popular and lesser-known ruins, including travel costs.- Heavily-detailed description of Machu Picchu, and itineraries for travelers of all budgets to reach the ruins.- The who/what/when/where/how behind each site, including over 50 pictures and primary and secondary source accounts.- All of the theories on how the impressive, perfectly-fitted monolithic structures were constructed. - A guide to visiting the ruins which were created by the ancestors of the Incas.- All of the popular myths and interpretation of written texts relating to Inca History.- An explanation as to why Inca history has been dumbed down in Western textbooks. - A guide to understanding the deep historical roots of the country and its impacts on the local people today.- An exploration of Inca spirituality, and how it relates to modern Peruvian plant medicine.- The popular ideas presented by Shamans to travelers who wish to try plant medicines like Ayahuasca, Coca, and San Pedro.- Bonus guide to the Bolivian site of Tiahuanaco

The snow has melted, but the thaw reveals a world transformed. London is in ruins, its population a fraction of its pre-freeze level. The weather has become wildly unpredictable - huge pressure swings leading to powerful localised storms. And this has led to an epidemic of migraine. When a storm hits, the pain comes, along with a wide range of visual and haptic hallucinations named Migraine 'aura'. The novel starts with Ellis, one of a very small proportion of the population who don't suffer from weather-induced migraines, being struck by a migraine attack for the first time. After being blinded by hallucinations, he wakes in a ruined bookshop with its former owner, Sam, who pulled him to safety from the storm. No longer excluded from the migraine epidemic, Ellis decides to find his ex-girlfriend, Luna, and win her back. With Sam tagging along, he sets out from the bookshop and heads south.From here, chapters alternate, giving the backstory of Ellis and Luna's relationship, from their first meeting to their final rupture, while in the present day the two men wend a crooked psychogeography through the centre of the city. Migraine is concerned with questions such as: what does a society look like, if it's organised around chronic pain? What kind of culture would this set of conditions produce?

Never thought he would miss the mud: the gleaming, slickness of it. The slap and suck at the turning of the tide; its rich, bird-shit stink after a hot day and a couple of pints at the Rose. Or the green-blue-yellow hues that marked the changes in the light, as the days and seasons marched over the village and the river. And now, just snow. Endless snow.A young man is found brutally murdered in the middle of the snowed-in village of Wivenhoe. Over his body stands another man, axe in hand. The gathered villagers must deal with the consequences of an act that no-one tried to stop.WIVENHOE is a haunting novel set in an alternate present, in a world that is slowly waking up to the fact that it is living through an environmental disaster. Taking place over twenty-four hours and told through the voices of a mother and her adult son, we see how one small community reacts to social breakdown and isolation.Samuel Fisher imagines a world, not unlike our own, struck down and on the edge of survival. Tense, poignant, and set against a dramatic landscape, WIVENHOE asks the question: if society as we know it is lost, what would we strive to save? At what point will we admit complicity in our own destruction?

He can become any book, any combination of words - every thought, act and expression that has ever been, or ever will be, written. Now 800 years old, John wants to tell his story.
