Book Description
When Melissa started her wanderlust with an impromptu solo backpacking trip to India, her only goal was to heal a broken heart. She had no idea the impact of just buying a plane ticket would have as the trip set into motion a decade's worth of adventure and an untamable wanderlust. She learned through many adventures the importance of taking advantage of opportunities and not wasting the most precious commodity in the world-time. By traveling solo, she exploited the empty space between herself and strangers and recognized the energy and power of making friends on the road as she navigated crazy obstacles and curveballs in foreign lands. From the beaches of Southeast Asia to the wild jungles of Africa, she looked for adventure across the globe and found it in abundance. The book endeavored to open up Pandora's box of what adventures await the curious soul and to show the reader that anything is possible with a little grit and gumption. The book combines vivid descriptions of exotic places with wild and funny misadventures from a solo female that had nothing to lose but everything to gain from living life at the edge of her comfort zone. This compilation of travel diaries strives to not only acknowledge the beauty and culture of the different places around the globe but to also relate the excerpts into messages that also feeds the soul and relates to the human psyche. 1

Book Description
Finally, the Diary Book, where we find the author’s everyday life, his particularities and reflections that colours the happenings of his daily life. What to say about this writing that many times seems to be unreal for the reader, but that in João Rosa de Castro’s experience appears to have much meaning? The reader is not up to decipher the enigmas nor understand them, but enjoy the words of the writer’s intimacy that lead us to seversal situations lived by him and that he wished to share. Like the writing in which he reveals to be the best hour, the best day, the best month and the best year of his life, or when he discusses the matter drugs based on the discussion held by Maria Rita Kehl in the “Philosophical Café”, or even the confession that he doesn’t know how to console when the matter is death, when he knew of the death of the dog of his Januário’s muse. At last, getting into this book means allowing to open oneself to the perceptions, reflections of its author and enjoy his words.

Book Description
The first publication of Albert Einstein’s travel diary to the Far East and Middle East In the fall of 1922, Albert Einstein, along with his then-wife, Elsa Einstein, embarked on a five-and-a-half-month voyage to the Far East and Middle East, regions that the renowned physicist had never visited before. Einstein's lengthy itinerary consisted of stops in Hong Kong and Singapore, two brief stays in China, a six-week whirlwind lecture tour of Japan, a twelve-day tour of Palestine, and a three-week visit to Spain. This handsome edition makes available, for the first time, the complete journal that Einstein kept on this momentous journey. The telegraphic-style diary entries--quirky, succinct, and at times irreverent—record Einstein's musings on science, philosophy, art, and politics, as well as his immediate impressions and broader thoughts on such events as his inaugural lecture at the future site of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, a garden party hosted by the Japanese Empress, an audience with the King of Spain, and meetings with other prominent colleagues and statesmen. Entries also contain passages that reveal Einstein's stereotyping of members of various nations and raise questions about his attitudes on race. This beautiful edition features stunning facsimiles of the diary's pages, accompanied by an English translation, an extensive historical introduction, numerous illustrations, and annotations. Supplementary materials include letters, postcards, speeches, and articles, a map of the voyage, a chronology, a bibliography, and an index. Einstein would go on to keep a journal for all succeeding trips abroad, and this first volume of his travel diaries offers an initial, intimate glimpse into a brilliant mind encountering the great, wide world.
