I wrote this book to support our fundraising. I wanted to have something original to give back to donors. Another reason was, that our volunteers enjoyed our food and wanted to know, how to cook it. This was an easy way to achieve this. Some dishes they learnt to cook during their stay with us, but not all and it was nice for them to look them up again at home. As our youngest son has Celiac this book contains many Gf dishes as well as vegetarian dishes. Burmese food is very delicious and very different from the better known Thai food....

De ce fotojurnal? Fiindcă suprafaţa pozelor se-ntinde aproape la jumătate sau mai mult din întreg volumul! Răsfoitorii acestei cărţi măcar vor privi ilustraţiile colorate din CentroAmerica, iar pe lȃngă imagini vor citi cel puţin cȃteva rȃnduri edificatoare... Fiindcă nimeni astăzi nu mai are timp! De ce instantaneu? Pentru că jurnalul e scris la primă mȃnă, pe locul vizitat, cu idei scurte ca nişte blitz-uri, cu economie de cuvinte – în această lume în care vremea trece rapid. Memorialistică fără retuşări. Viaţă brută. Fraze scurte şi simple, fără multe verbe… Şi la ce concluzii am ajuns după ce-am vizitat 40 de ţări? Că nu-mi place să mă stabilesc în nicio parte. Ci să locuiesc câte puţin în fiecare loc, apoi să mă mut în altul. E prea monotonă viaţa sedentară. Voi fi un migrator permanent: un călător la infinit! Cât mai mare diversitate vrem în operă. Să ne deschidă orizontul la maxim! Why fotojurnal? Because pictures are surface stretches nearly half or more of the entire volume! Răsfoitorii this book will look even Centroamerica colorful illustrations and the images will read at least lȃngă rȃnduri clenched for a fe...

In this latest book, John Clark, author of the highly regarded "Beaches of Hawaii" series, gives us the many captivating stories behind the hundreds of Hawaii place names associated with the ocean—the names of shores, beaches, and other sites where people fish, swim, dive, surf, and paddle. Significant features and landmarks on or near shores, such as fishponds, monuments, shrines, reefs, and small islands, are also included. The names of surfing sites are the most numerous and among the most colorful: from the purely descriptive (Black Rock, Blue Hole) to the humorous (No Can Tell, Pray for Sex). Clark began gathering information for the "Beaches" series in 1972, and during the years that followed interviewed hundreds of informants, many of them native Hawaiians, and consulted dozens of Hawaiian reference books, newspapers, and maps. A significant amount of the oral history he collected was unrecorded and remained only in his notebooks and memory. Hawaii Place Names: Shores, Beaches, and Surf Sites is the final product of those years of research, and like its popular predecessors, it benefits substantially from Clark's ...

In 1966 the University of Hawaii Press published the first edition of Place Names of Hawaii. Written by Mary Kawena Pukui and Samuel H. Elbert, it contained 1,125 entries, all of which were place names in the Hawaiian language. In 1974 the press published the second edition by Pukui, Elbert, and Esther T. Mookini. It contained some four thousand entries, and this time it included place names in English and other languages. This edition, in the words of the authors, provided "a glossary of important place names in the State, including names of valleys, streams, mountains, land sections, surfing areas, towns, villages, and Honolulu streets and buildings." During the years that have followed its publication, the second edition of Place Names of Hawaii has become a standard reference in the literature of Hawaii....

În literatura românească de călătorie, Florentin Smarandache e un fel de doi într-unul: Juan Sebastian El Cano şi Antonio Pigafetta dimpreună; navigator cărturar, dar totodată un reporter al propriei umbre. Călătoria este pentru Florentin Smarandache un pharmakon: leac şi otravă deopotrivă. Şi îl serveşte ca atare. Cine are curiozitatea să-i deseneze călătoriile pe hartă, va descoperi că nu mai e mult până profesorul de matematici de la New Mexico University va putea exclama, cu vorbele lui Seneca: nec sit terris ultima Thule!...
