The sun is setting on the Western world. Slowly but surely, the direction in which the world spins has reversed: where for the last five centuries the globe turned westwards on its axis, it now turns to the east. For centuries, fame and fortune was to be found in the west - in the New World of the Americas. Today, it is the east which calls out to those in search of adventure and riches. The region stretching from eastern Europe and sweeping right across Central Asia deep into China and India, is taking centre stage in international politics, commerce and culture – and is shaping the modern world. This region, the true centre of the earth, is obscure to many in the English-speaking world. Yet this is where civilization itself began, where the world's great religions were born and took root. The Silk Roads were no exotic series of connections, but networks that linked continents and oceans together. Along them flowed ideas, goods, disease and death. This was where empires were won – and where they were lost. As a new era emerges, the patterns of exchange are mirroring those that have criss-crossed Asia for millennia. The Silk Roads are rising again. A major reassessment of world history, The Silk Roads is an important account of the forces that have shaped the global economy and the political renaissance in the re-emerging east.

City Tramper follows the true story of Frank, a cynical young twenty something that decides to quit his desk job in New Zealand and travel through the United States of America. His misadventures and escapades take you haphazardly through Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, New York and Washington as he learns a little bit about American culture and life in the city. Prepare for a colorful and sometimes jarring read as his unusually frank thoughts and opinions echo strongly through the pages. This unabridged version is not suitable for children as it contains adult themes including sex, drug use and excessive swearing.
