The book covers three extraordinary voyages in the tiny yacht Mingming, carrying on from where Voyages of a Simple Sailor left off.

Taylor, Roger D.

Biographies

In his third book singlehanded sailor Roger Taylor ventures to even more remote seas aboard his tiny junk-rigged yacht Mingming. The first voyage, across the North Atlantic to Baffin Island, is curtailed when Taylor is injured in a storm in the Davis Strait. Unwilling to sail on into the ice with a broken rib, he turns round and re-crosses the Atlantic to Plymouth, completing a non-stop voyage of over 4000 miles. The second voyage takes the reader to Jan Mayen, Spitsbergen and on to 80°North, virtually as close as it is possible to sail to the North Pole. During these two voyages Taylor spends well over four months at sea, observing and reflecting on the sea itself, its wildlife, its attraction, and man's uneasy relationship with it.

Mingming II and the Islands of the Ice

Taylor, Roger

Travel

Far to the north of Russia, across the cold waters of the Barents Sea, lies the desolate archipelago known as Franz Josef Land. Hidden away still further to the north and west of those islands is one of the most inaccessible and least known seas on this planet - the Queen Victoria Sea. In his fifth book of voyages, Roger Taylor describes his successful attempt to sail into those lonely and usually icebound waters. On the way he weathers the most northerly point of the Svalbard islands before sailing due east along 81&#65533;North to the north-west coast of Franz Josef Land. Pack-ice would normally render such a route impossible. This voyage, which linked the endpoints of Taylor's two previous Arctic voyages to the north-west and north-east of Svalbard, marks the culmination of nearly fifty years of small-boat ocean sailing. Taylor has been described in the yachting press as 'one of the best sailing writers on this planets' and 'the best-balanced writer you will ever read'. His books combine vivid description with deep reflection, humour, an intimate knowledge of ocean species and a lifetime of practical sea-going experience.

Mingming II & the Impossible Voyage

Seeing That Frees

In this ground-breaking and seminal work, esteemed Buddhist teacher Rob Burbea lays out an original and comprehensive approach to deepening insight. Starting from simple and easily accessible understandings of emptiness, Burbea presents a unique conception of the path along which he escorts the practitioner gradually, through the careful structure of the work, into ever more mystical levels of insight. Through its precise instructions, illuminating exercises and discussions that address the subtleties of both practice and understanding, Seeing That Frees opens up for the committed meditator all the profundity of the Buddha's radical teachings on emptiness. This is a book that will take time to digest and will serve as a lifelong companion on the path, leading the reader, as it does, progressively deeper into the territory of liberation. From the Foreword by Joseph Goldstein: "Rob Burbea, in this remarkable book, proves to be a wonderfully skilled guide in exploring the understanding of emptiness as the key insight in transforming our lives... It is rare to find a book that explores so deeply the philosophical underpinnings of awakening at the same time as offering the practical means to realize it."

"Rhodesia is sleep-walking towards its devastating civil war. Three women become entangled in that war and in relationships that harbour the seeds of tragedy. With great sensitivity and insight, Tina Beattie tells a haunting story of love and war that will long linger in the mind." (Kay Powell, author of Then a Wind Blew).\n"Msasa trees provided dappled shade for Jenny's tea party. April sunshine dribbled through the leaves onto suntanned arms. The frangipanis were in bloom ..."\nThis is the scene that greets Scottish doctor Morag soon after her arrival in Salisbury in the 1950s. Jenny is an English wife and mother trapped in an increasingly violent marriage and secretly in love with another man. Soon, Beatrice will come to work as Jenny's maid and nanny to her children. Over the next twenty years these three women will form deep bonds of affection, but can their loyalty to one another survive as the façade of white suburban life is shattered by war?\nJenny finds it increasingly difficult to hide her desire for the man she loves, but what will happen if her husband finds out? Why does the ancestral spirit of Beatrice's grandmother come back to haunt her, and what terrible revelation will she make to drive Beatrice into the abyss of madness and beyond? Why will Morag flee through the night from an event so horrifying that it will traumatise her for the rest of her life, and why must she forever hide the truth of what she has witnessed?\n"A compelling and captivating read. The story is a fascinating weave of black and white characters. I loved it despite scenes that deeply disturbed me, having been through those times. She has captured an essence of the time with precise and knowledgeable detail." (Angus Shaw, Zimbabwean writer and war correspondent)

The zest for travel and adventure runs true in our family. Whether it was bringing in powder to the battery from a wagon under heavy fire during the Crimean War, dodging assegais in the Matabele War in Rhodesia, escaping from the Japanese when they invaded China in the North Luangwa National Park in Zambia, taking risks is what this book is all about.\nThe first part is autobiographical, which provides the framework from which I developed my passion for walking and my enthusiasm for nature. My work as a safari guide took me off the beaten track to national parks in Malawi and Tanzania, but most of all in Zambia, and in particular the South and North Luangwa National Parks. I had kept a diary, and have recounted some of the most exciting episodes during these foot safaris in search of lion, leopard and elephant.\nAs a keen photographer I also kept meticulous photographic records of my early safaris dating back to the 1970s. Some of these capture VIPs who visited the Luangwa Valley; others capture the contributions of many of the local villagers who played such an important role in the operation of the safaris.\nSeveral parts of the book go more deeply into the lore of the wild, tracking, finding your way back, and how to deal with a charging animal - in fact, everything about being a successful safari guide.
