Lennokas tietokirja kääntää maailmankartan uuteen asentoon.Vanhoissa kartoissa hirviöt vaanivat laivoja ja naapurikansoja esiteltiin kartan tilaajan toivomalla tavalla. Kartat ovat muuttuneet, mutta maantieteen myytit muokkaavat edelleen käsityksiämme: Eurooppa on maailman keskipiste, rajamuurit ratkaisevat siirtolaiskriisejä ja Venäjän uhka naapureilleen on väistämätön.Mukaansatempaava teos purkaa vanhoja ajattelutapoja ja uusimpia harhakäsityksiä. Se vie lukijan esimerkiksi Islantiin mannerlaattojen rajalle, Meksikon ja Yhdysvaltojen väliselle aidalle sekä Itä-Kiinan ja Länsi-Euroopan yhdistävään tavarajunaan, jonka reitit ovat enemmän politiikkaa kuin maantiedettä.

The preoccupation with the unemployment-crime link has meant that a number of other concerns about the way that unemployment affects the criminal justice system, and ways of dealing with offenders, have been largely ignored. This book, originally published in 1989, brings together research from a variety of sources relating to unemployment. This research provides much information on the practical, day-to-day experiences of dealing with offenders at a time of high unemployment and the related policy implications.

Is geography really destiny?Our maps may no longer be stalked by dragons and monsters, but our perceptions of the world are still shaped by geographic myths. Myths like Europe being the centre of the world. Or that border walls are the solution to migration. Or that Russia is predestined to threaten its neighbours.In his punchy and authoritative new book, Paul Richardson challenges recent popular accounts of geographical determinism and shows that how the world is represented often isn't how it really is - that the map is not the territory.Along the way we visit some remarkable places: Iceland's Thingvellir National Park, where you can swim between two continents, and Bir Tawil in North Africa, one of the world's only territories not claimed by any country. We follow the first train that ran across Eurasia between Yiwu in east China and Barking in east London, and scale the US-Mexico border wall to find out why such fortifications don't work.Written with verve and full of quotable facts, Myths of Geography is a book that will turn your world upside down.

This is my first of hopefully many books of poems which I feel and speak from my heart and with photos I have taken from around the world. Each poem I write on the right page is about the photo on the left page. I have given my feelings of most of the photos as you will see when you read them. A few of the poems are a bit different as they tell of my past, my difficult times, which have a happier ending. This first month of selling I am selling at a lower introductory price. It will then go up in price to it's full price.
