Chasing Baseball is a book that provides a snapshot of grassroots baseball in Ireland, Scotland, England, and Wales. Played as it is in the rain and cold, on temporary diamonds that are sometimes less than ideal, baseball is still fragile in these places and an enormous group effort is needed to sustain it. The book is the story of people who love the game, the story of people who believe that baseball can flourish where it's been planted, developing according to the idiosyncrasies of each location.On one hand, baseball is baseball, and what is depicted--despite some idiosyncratic rules and an incredibly wide range of talent and experience--is not dissimilar to what one might see in North America. On the other hand, it feels different. More precarious, yes, but also more communal. This is baseball played for its own sake, played in public parks by people who have somehow fallen in love with the game or are searching for a piece of home.Written in the tradition of Dave Bidini's Tropic of Hockey: My Search for the Game in Unlikely Places, Chasing Baseball provides readers with a vivid picture of baseball as it is played in these places.

Embark on a dazzling odyssey through the world's most iconic wine regions as the Wall Street Journal uncorks the secrets, stories, and sensory wonders behind the finest vintages.

A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERThe author of Nowhere for Very Long continues her story with this deeply honest, moving account of a woman walking the line between independence and isolation when she moves to the Southwest desert with nothing and no one but her four dogs.In her debut memoir, Nowhere for Very Long, Brianna Madia reflected on her life as a nomad, free to roam some of the most beautiful land in America. Now, in Never Leave the Dogs Behind, the van life adherent faces the unfathomable darkness that comes from a life blown apart, her only solace the support of her dogs.In the wake of a painful, public divorce and the ensuing fallout, Brianna moves from a pared-down van into a pared-down trailer. She reckons with her decision to be alone in the desert, living on a nine-acre plot of undeveloped land on the dusty outskirts of a small town in Utah, accompanied only by her four precious dogs: Bucket, Dagwood, Birdie, and Banjo. As she grapples with the anger, despair, and delicious freedom that comes from being wholly on her own, Brianna wonders where, exactly, the road less traveled has led her.A powerful and poignant portrait of rebuilding and surviving, Never Leave the Dogs Behind is about finding the courage to start over when the dream life you thought you were living collapses around your feet.

This new full-colour title from Bradt is the first and only guide available to the largest of the four islands that make up the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Socotra Archipelago in the Arabian Sea, 240 miles offshore from their mother land, Yemen. Everything you might need for a successful trip is covered, from pre-departure planning, getting there, tour operators and where to stay to the full range of information for making the most of your time while there. Background information on history, people, language and culture is followed by an easy-to-follow geographical breakdown covering everywhere from the capital Hadibo to Ayhaft Canyon National Park, Qaria Lagoon, Rosh Marine Protected Area, Homhil Reserv, Terbak village and Hoq cave, Qalansiyah, Diksam Plateau and the forest of Firhimin to name just a few of the places detailed. There is also a section on vocabulary, an endemic wildlife check list and suggested sources of further information. Socotra is unique. Sometimes known as 'The Galapagos of the Indian Ocean', the archipelago has an exceptionally large number of endemic species. Of the 220 bird species recorded, 11 are endemic, including the relatively recently identified Socotra Buzzard. Closer to the ground, an estimated 307 plant species are endemic. More than 600 species of insects, some 100 land and freshwater molluscs, around 80 arachnids, some dozen myriapods, four land- and fresh-water crabs, 30 reptiles and 14 mammals have been found to occur, of which all the land snails, 90 % of the reptiles and about 60 % of the spiders are unique to the archipelago. With its superb beaches and dramatically varied landscapes (mountains, forest, ravines, sand-dunes, beaches, caves .) Socotra is a prime target for tourism, which will need handling with extreme care. Strict regulations are in force to preserve the island's natural heritage and much of it has protected status, but some unprotected land has already been sold to potential developers.

This new, thoroughly updated, third edition of The Basque Country and Navarre, Bradt's award-winning guidebook, remains the most in-depth guide to a multi-lingual, multi-cultural borderland that is neither Spain nor France, but straddles the Pyrenees, mountains that divide the two countries. Bradt's guide offers real insights into a profound regional identity, uncovering the peculiarities which imbue the area with intrigue and takes you way beyond the delightful, well-known cities into the heart of the beautiful Basque countryside. Deep-seated Basque traditions, singular cuisine, world-class wine, strange sports, unique language, bold art and architecture all converge to showcase a land that continues to mystify and reveal itself the more you visit. Secluded valleys and rugged mountains, wild coastlines and the vestiges of industry long gone provide a strange mix that pays homage to a troubled past, a lively present and a constant reinvention that promises an exciting future for the Basques. Large and sparsely populated, little known and little visited, neighbouring Navarre offers natural attractions ranging from high Pyrenees to arid semi-desert. This former kingdom's troublesome history is waymarked by lonely hilltop castles, but only in the frenetic, bull-running days of Pamplona's San Fermin festival does it announce itself noisily on the world stage, welcoming hundreds of thousands of visitors to Ernest Hemingway's favourite party town. With advice on where to walk, cycle, horseride, surf and birdwatch accompanying traditional listings of where to stay and eat, author Murray Stewart guides travellers through this increasingly popular area. Find the best pintxos (tapas) and txakoli wine, the finest chuleton (beef chop) and the freshest fish. From elegant Biarritz, via the French Basque Pyrenees, to the Navarran 'badlands' of Bardenas Reales, travel to fascinating, less-visited places that host thrilling local festivals. New elements in this edition include a host of elegant hotels in San Sebastian, the city-on-the-beach, transport improvements, new restaurants serving culinary specialities, a major reconfiguration of Bilbao's Bellas Artes museum and constantly evolving wine tourism opportunities. Whether you are a hiker or surfer, foodie or cyclist, spiritualist or golfer, let Bradt's The Basque Country and Navarre help you enjoy a fascinating, rewarding holiday. AUTHOR: Since first visiting the Basque Country in 1993, Murray Stewart has been unable to resist the lure of this region that produces surprises each time he returns. In 2016, the opportunity to write the most comprehensive English-language guidebook to the Basque Country was irresistible, especially when the subject-matter was combined with its little-visited but geographically diverse neighbour, Navarre. As a lover of the outdoors, of mountains, of walking and red wine, Murray found his perfect partner in this enigmatic region spanning the Pyrenees. A 20-year career in corporate restructuring has included working in Spain and Bulgaria; language skills honed by time spent teaching in Mexico and Chile, and part-ownership of a house in the Minervois have allowed him to hone his French and Spanish language skills and access the dynamic culture on both sides of the French/Spanish border. He spent months living in the Basque region to research the book's first edition and has reinforced his cultural knowledge with long-distance walks on the Camino de Santiago and the lesser known Camino Ignaciano. (A guidebook written on the latter was short-listed for Best Guidebook of the Year in 2022.) These walks have covered thousands of kilometres and also raised thousands of pounds for hospital and children's charities.

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. i Black's Picturesque Tourist of Scotland will provide you with maps that pass for art, descriptions that pass for poetry and detail that could pass for the most meticulous historic record. It will enable you to travel through Scotland on the shoulder of an urbane 19th century traveller and encounter the triumphs, trials and tall tales that flowed throughout Scotland in the 1800s. Whilst this tome is likely to be of interest to historians, it would also have many insights to offer the present day traveller who seeks a sense of context for their exploration of Scotland.<br><br>The historically minded reader will relish the opportunity to see what the viewpoint of an educated traveller might have been on the Battle of Culloden, be swallowed up by the mysteries of Scotland's beautiful lochs and, on the more domestic side, find out where a good inn and malt liquor could be found at a fair price and where one would have been better off to abandon all hope and settle for the local brew.<br><br>Written from the perspective of a 19th century author hoping to enrich contemporary readers this book will tell you everything a tourist visiting Scotland could hope to know. When to jostle for a place at the window on the Caledonian railway, which stately homes marble staircase is worth the journey to visit and which road to take to the legendary poet Burns' cottage; all this and more lies within these pages and waits to enthral the reader. Rarely can a book convey such a sense of living history alongside such a prodigious amount of quantified but personal information about the period.
