Dame Traveler
Author: Nastasia Yakoub
Publisher: Ten Speed Press
ISBN: 1984857924
Category : Photography
Languages : en
Pages : 226
Book Description
A breathtaking celebration of Instagram's premier solo female travel community, featuring 200 striking photographs—most of them all-new—plus empowering messages and practical tips for solo travelers. “For those with passports full of stories, this book carries you away to every dreamy corner of the earth. I can’t stop flipping through these visually incandescent pages to see where I’m capable of traveling to next!”—Caila Quinn, The Bachelor contestant and lifestyle and travel influencer From backpackers in Peru to artists in Berlin to storytellers in Morocco, Dame Traveler celebrates the diversity and bravery of women from around the world who are not afraid to think (and live) outside the box. The revolutionary Dame Traveler Instagram account was founded by Nastasia Yakoub, who was born into a strict Chaldean-Middle Eastern community where women are expected to marry young and put aside other personal ambitions. But at the age of twenty, Nastasia embarked on a solo trip to South Africa to volunteer at an orphanage in Cape Town, which sparked a love of world travel. Recognizing a void in the travel industry, she founded Dame Traveler, the first female travel community on Instagram, now more than half a million strong. Nastasia herself has traveled to sixty-three countries on solo adventures, sharing colorful photos of her tantalizing travels along the way. Dame Traveler celebrates these women with a photographic collection of 200 stunning images paired with inspiring captions, 80% of which have never been seen on the Instagram account. Organized into sections on architecture, culture, nature, and water, each entry features travel information, plus tips, advice, unique solo-travel experiences, and wisdom from contributing globe-trotters to embolden the next generation of Dame Travelers.

Pubs and Publicans of Tasmania's Old West
Author: Patrick Howard
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780648028680
Category : Gormanston (Tas.)
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
The late 19th-century mining boom on Tasmania¿s west coast created a strong demand for accommodation. Consequently there was also a boom in the number of hotels established in the Queenstown, Gormanston, Strahan and Zeehan regions. Unfortunately many people regarded these hotels as grog shops conducted by unscrupulous publicans who were out to make money from the miners they served. This book traces the history of these hotels and shows that, in fact, many were important centres for socialising, relaxing and facilitating a sense of community. Pubs and publicans of Tasmania¿s old west is as much a product of the author¿s lifetime experiences as it is of research.

A History of Tasmania
Author: Henry Reynolds
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1107379016
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 541
Book Description
This captivating work charts the history of Tasmania from the arrival of European maritime expeditions in the late eighteenth century, through to the modern day. By presenting the perspectives of both Indigenous Tasmanians and British settlers, author Henry Reynolds provides an original and engaging exploration of these first fraught encounters. Utilising key themes to bind his narrative, Reynolds explores how geography created a unique economic and migratory history for Tasmania, quite separate from the mainland experience. He offers an astute analysis of the island's economic and demographic reality, by noting that this facilitated the survival of a rich heritage of colonial architecture unique in Australia, and allowed the resident population to foster a powerful web of kinship. Reynolds' remarkable capacity to empathise with the characters of his chronicle makes this a powerful, engaging and moving account of Tasmania's unique position within Australian history.
