    Over twenty years ago, P.J. O’Rourke published Holidays in Hell, the classic travelogue that found him searching for excitement in places like Warsaw, Managua, and Belfast. In Holidays in Heck, the man dubbed “the funniest writer in America” by Time and The Wall Street Journal steps into the new and slightly less dangerous territory of the family vacation. The O’Rourke clan treks to places as close to home as Disneyland and Washington, D.C., and as far-flung as China, all while P.J. attempts to dissuade his wife from shopping and keep his children entertained. His travels often leave him wishing he were under artillery fire again. At one point, the family takes a ski trip—to Ohio. Here, he warns his daughter not to ski out of bounds, “because it’s completely flat.” Later, during their visit to the National Museum of American History, P.J. calls the building, “ugly in a way that’s best described as built in 1964.” And one of his solo adventures takes him on a horse trek across the mountains of Kyrgyzstan, where his route consists of cliff faces that leave him dangling very much off of his saddle.

 Oemkontoe van die nasie is ’n satiriese terugblik vanuit die jaar 2005 op die Ou en Nuwe Suid-Afrika. In hierdie proses bevind Britse beleidmakers uit die 1800’s hulle onverwags voor die Waarheids- en Versoeningskommissie. Boere uit die Noordelike Provinsie keer die Groot Trek om. Terug Kaap toe, in bakkies met frieskoeie en hoenders agterop, die plaaslike koerantredakteur as trekleier in die Volla voor, die nuwe trekkers vervul met siniese droefheid oor die turfland en wit gras wat agtergelaat word. Histories benadeeldes doen aansoek om as histories bevoordeeldes geherklassifiseer te word. Mense wat in die ou bedeling opponente was, raak ongemerk bondgenote. En die Paarlse Taalmonument se lot as ’n nuttelose spies word finaal verseël. Maar daar is nog Faan Starck, ’n plattelandse onderwyser wie se skryfloopbaan begin met ’n satiriese rubriek in ’n plaaslike koerantjie en ’n storieboek wat per geluk vir hoërskoolleerlinge voorgeskryf word. Sonder dat Faan dit so beplan, word die drukpotlood waarmee hy sy polities verkeerde stories pleeg, skerper, word dit ’n nuwe oemkontoe wat tegelykertyd genadeloos hekel en tragiek blootlê. Dit is nie welkom nie, en Faan se tydsberekening is helaas swak – “ … maar hemel, jou politiek, Starck, waar kruip jy uit? Dis... ’n land met ’n veritabele reënboog van regte waarvoor jy sensitief moet wees.” Oemkontoe van die nasie is ’n polities verkeerde veroordeling van die Nuwe Suid-Afrika en dis ’n boek wat eintlik nie gelees behoort te word nie …

It is ordered on demand from our supplier and is usually dispatched within 7 - 11 working days In 1859, the American Fur Company set out on what would then be the longest steamboat trip in North American history--a headline-making, 6,200-mile trek along the Missouri River from St. Louis to Fort Benton in present-day Montana, and back again. Steamboats West is an adventure story that navigates the rocky rapids of the upper Missouri to offer a fascinating account of travel to the raw frontier past the pale of settlement. It was a venture that extended trade deep into the Northwest and made an enormous stride in transportation. Drawing on the journals of Dr. Elias Marsh and Charles Henry Weber and the official accounts of Charles P. Chouteau and Capt. William Franklin Raynolds, who traveled aboard the steamboats "Spread Eagle "and "Chippewa," authors Lawrence H. Larsen and Barbara J. Cottrell weave together firsthand accounts of the river journey with helpful commentary. Along the way, they interject the river's environmental history and portraits of the Native peoples who lived along the upper Missouri. Marsh and Weber remark on everything from the Montana landscape to mosquitoes to Mandan villages, and Weber's never-before-published journal illustrates the recent technological changes that made their voyage possible. In the years after the Lewis and Clark expedition and before the Civil War, steamboats were crucial in establishing commercial water routes in the inland West. Larsen and Cottrell's depiction of this one celebrated ride brings steamboat transport back to life as modern, fast, and imposing--an apt symbol of the westward expansion that spawned it.
