Years on and Other Travel Essays
"A Moritz Thomsen-like path less traveled, a Pete Hessler-esque possession of language and culture...that best and rarest of ex-pats: the Yankee gone native." Tony D'Souza, author of Whiteman. Where you headed? asked the man in a pick-up. Lihosit should have answered, High adventure. The author of South of the Frontera; A Peace Corps Memoir describes how he hitchhiked along bleak Arizona highways, hacked a path through Honduran mountains in search of water, avoided caiman while riding bulls across flooded Bolivian savannah and grizzlies as he hunted caribou in bush Alaska, ran for his life after getting embroiled in Mexico City politics and more. These are uncommon tales and fascinating reading.

Vivir en el Sahara
La autora, tras más de quince años viajando a los países que conforman el Sahara y su periferia, ha terminado por vincularse emocionalmente, de manera intensa, con el mosaico de paisajes y culturas que habitan estos territorios. Sus viajes han sido al modo antiguo, el único que realmente permite ver más allá de la postal que resume los tópicos. Ella y sus compañeros han llegado a donde no llega el turista convencional; han vivido bajo el mismo techo y han compartido té y alimentos con familias tuareg, bereber o bororo; asistido a sus ceremonias y rituales; oído sus leyendas; conocido sus historias. Este volumen recoge en imágenes y en documentados comentarios algo más que el medio físico de una región: además de regs, hamadas, dunas, uadis y oasis, el lector encontrará en él algunas de las claves que permiten penetrar en la historia, la cultura y el alma de las gentes que pueblan el Sahara.

Philip IV and the Government of Spain, 1621-1665
This book concentrates on the political history of the reign of Philip IV, and the role of the king within it. Philip is kept near the forefront, and issues and events are often seen - if sometimes critically - from his viewpoint. It is, therefore, a work of revision and rehabilitation, representing an attempt (against all other extant accounts) to establish Philip IV as a positive figure, with an autonomous character and political identity. A secondary, supportive, intention is to demonstrate that after the fall of Olivares, the king ruled and governed without a favourite (valido). This is the central theme in the most detailed treatment of the second half of the reign available in any language. Reference is made throughout to Philip's own words and actions. At the same time, the Olivares period itself is approached from a new perspective, some issues being examined with the use of new material. Although not intended as a conventional biography, the book retains several characteristics of the form, in that it is a 'career-study', part thematic, part chronological. Philip IV is examined also in relation to the political writing of the age, and to his court and capital in Madrid.
