Still convinced that the only true modern traveller is the business travelloer. The author takes us on another irreverent global tour.

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Abacus Edition. Paperback. Fathers' Race. A Book About Paternity. Books about fatherhood are usually either chipper, no-nonsense handbooks or collections of introspective essays, bowing under the weight of their own sensitivity.

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. Reprint. Paperback. Very slight browning to edges of pages through age. At the beginning of the 1930s, historian William L. Shirer was sent to India by the Chicago Tribune to cover the rise of the Independence Movement. During this time Shirer was priviliged to observe Mahatma Gandhi as he launched the Civil Disobedience Campaign and to enjoy his personal friendship and confidence. In this fadcinating memoir, Shirer writes perceptively and unforgettably about Gandhi's frailties as well as his accomplishments. Despite his greatness, Gandhi was the first to admit that he was a human being with his own prejudices and peculiarities: he could be stubborn and dictatorial, yet the magnificence of the man rose above all else. This book sheds a special light on the man who left such an indelible imprint on India and the world.
