VAGUE DIRECTION: A 12,000 mile bicycle ride, and the meaning of life. Watch the book trailer on YouTube: https://youtu.be/L4qGBNJkr5c The road. A place to escape, learn, and grow. A place where experiences are had, and memories formed, all of which will stay with you forever. This is the story of a year long North American bicycle journey. After all, there's a lot that happens when you get burned out, quit your job, sell everything, and leave to ride a bike for thousands of miles on another continent. You learn a lot - about yourself, about the fascinating people you encounter along the way, and maybe, just maybe, about life itself. From guns to God, death to happiness, bears to isolation, m...
Only the DarknessGill has a safe way of exploring past lives ... but when Concha tries it she experiences an excerpt from the life of the woman who will be her daughter, living in a world of worsening environmental conditions, she tries to change the future by getting her friend Eugene to undertake some genetic engineering for his doctorate. When Concha experiences a glimpse of her great granddaughter Ana's life nothing has changed - why not? What has happened to Eugene's project?The question is whether Concha saw 'the' future or just 'a' future or whether she caused the future she saw. Duplicity and double dealing, greed and lust for wealth and riches at the expense of the world at large may make an exciting story and certainly demand all Gill and Steve's resourcefulness - breaking into the university genetics department and passing information to an environmental organisation.

The Crisis, founded by W.E.B. Du Bois as the official publication of the NAACP, is a journal of civil rights, history, politics, and culture and seeks to educate and challenge its readers about issues that continue to plague African Americans and other communities of color. For nearly 100 years, The Crisis has been the magazine of opinion and thought leaders, decision makers, peacemakers and justice seekers. It has chronicled, informed, educated, entertained and, in many instances, set the economic, political and social agenda for our nation and its multi-ethnic citizens.
SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2016 PEN ACKERLEY PRIZE 'An intense, succulent read that's intermittently dazzling' THE TIMES 'Chilling, exquisitely moving' DAILY TELEGRAPH 'A superb memoir - and one of the best books on addiction I have ever read' EVENING STANDARD A. A. Gill's memoir begins in the dark of a dormitory with six strangers. He is an alcoholic, dying in the last-chance saloon. He tells the truth - as far as he can remember it - about drinking and about what it is like to be drunk. He recalls the lost days, lost friends, failed marriages ... But there was also an 'optimum inebriation, a time when it was all golden'. Sobriety regained, there are painterly descriptions of people and places, unforgettable musings about childhood and family, art and religion; and most movingly, the connections between his cooking, dyslexia and his missing brother. Full of raw and unvarnished truths, exquisitely written throughout, POUR ME is about lost time and self-discovery. Lacerating, unflinching, uplifting, it is a classic about drunken abandon.
