An illustrated book tracing Andrew Eames' travels in SE Asia as a young and naive Cambridge graduate. He examines how travel influenced his life and growth in the course of describing events including Thai hill-tribes, a monsoon in a tin shack in Malaysia, an Indian holy city and sailing in a junk-rigged prahu across the turbulent Timor Sea. He describes the crossing of his personal "shadow line" between sanity and insanity, youth and maturity.

Hodder & Stoughton General Division

Travelling through the wild north-west in winter, between Clyde and Tweed in spring, through the Hebrides in summer and along the east coast in autumn, the author explores Scotland through the people he meets along the way. His range covers steel workers from Ravenscraig and marginalized Highland landowners, peat-cutting on Islay and prawn-trawling in the Clyde, talking to the new millionaire owner of the island of Gigha and visiting an oil rig following the ceilidh trail up the islands and joining the royal watchers at the Braemar Gathering. The result is a picture of Scotland as it really is today, not under a tartan wrapping.

Four Scottish journeys: An identity rediscovered

<p>The Danube is Europe's Amazon. It flows through more countries than any other river on Earth—from the Black Forest in Germany to Europe's farthest fringes, where it joins the Black Sea in Romania. Andrew Eames' journey along its length brings us face to face with the continent's bloodiest history and its most pressing issues of race and identity. As he travels—by bicycle, horse, boat, and on foot—Eames finds himself seeking a bed for the night with minor royalty, hitching a ride on a Serbian barge captained by a man called Attila, and getting up close and personal with a bull in rural Romania. He meets would-be kings and walks with gypsies, and finally rows his way beyond the borders of Europe entirely.</p>
