Are We Nearly There Yet, Dad?
Summary
In January 2008, Graham Naismith, 37-year-old IT consultant and former police detective, and his wife Eirene, aged 38 and a former teacher, spontaneously, and with no prior experience whatsoever, decided to embark on a 30,000 mile drive to Australia with their three daughters aged one, four, and six. Having previously sold their house in anticipation of a drop in the housing market and with Graham's job at the infamous ID Cards Scheme looking precarious, the climate was right. So, with the decision made and the trip endorsed by Sir Ranulph Fiennes, Lance Armstrong, and not forgetting The Hairy Bikers, four months of intensive planning and preparation followed. A suitable four-wheel drive vehicle was bought and built to expedition standards and the relentless quest for sponsorship commenced. Satellite phones, emergency beacons, needles, drips, medicines, vaccinations galore, mountains of equipment, and bureaucracy were all sourced, and courses in vehicle repair, remote emergency first aid, and Russian were embarked on before they departed. On May 1, 2008, they waved goodbye to their friends, and within 15 minutes heard their first “Are we nearly there yet, Dad?”. This proved to be a constant as they traveled through 19 countries including Ukraine, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, China, and onto South East Asia before driving the entire circumference of Australia. As they traveled, the global economy went into meltdown.The book charts, in diary form, a journey through desert and jungle, from Auschwitz to the Beijing Olympics and from opulence to third-world poverty. The family encountered terrorist bombings, earthquakes, blood clots, gun-toting soldiers, corrupt policemen, covert tracking devices, AK-47 carrying locals, an attempted car-jacking, landslides, mines, convicted drug dealers at the Bangkok Hilton, lice, leeches, ghosts, scorpions, snakes, and sharks, not to mention their car being confiscated in China, blowing up in Thailand, and getting stuck in the middle of the Australian desert. Arguably, the overarching theme throughout this is one man's mid-life crisis that led to a physical journey of self-discovery and realization. On a less pretentious level, it gives a painfully honest insight into how a family and a marriage cope through the good and bad. It is, above all, a funny book. If you’ve ever thought about throwing it in and doing something completely different, then this is a must listen. Includes full equipment list, visa details, preparations required, costs, route, vehicle maintenance tasks, and sponsorship details.

Venezia Samarcanda E Ritorno [Venice Samarkand and Back]
Summary

Ci hanno raggiunto ad Asgabat, capitale Turkmena, due amici con cui abbiamo condiviso il cuore del viaggio, fino a Tashkent. Poi nuovamente soli: padre e figlio. “Samarchan è una città nobile, dove sono bellissimi giardini, e una pianura piena di tutti i frutti, che l’uomo può desiderare. Gli abitanti, parte son Cristian, e parte Saraceni, e sono sottoposti al dominio d’un nepote del Gran Can.” Queste le parole di Marco Polo per descrivere Samarcanda, storicamente il crocevia delle culture per eccellenza. Una città misteriosa, lo spartiacque di culture e civiltà, a metà strada tra Venezia e Pechino.La via della seta ci ha sempre affascinato e questo viaggio, nato per caso dalle chiacchiere domenicali oltre tre anni fa, ha cominciato a riempire ogni nostra conversazione. Sono riuscito a realizzare un sogno lungo quattro anni: guidare fino a Samarcanda (Uzbekistan) e tornare a casa insieme a mio papà. Quasi quattordicimila chilometri in 31 giorni di viaggio, un raid on the road molto impegnativo ed emozionante al tempo stesso.

Roads to Quoz
Summary
About a quarter century ago, a previously unknown writer named William Least Heat-Moon wrote a book called Blue Highways. Acclaimed as a classic, it was a travel book like no other. Quirky, discursive, endlessly curious, Heat-Moon had embarked on an American journey off the beaten path. Sticking to the small places via the small roads - those colored blue on maps - he uncovered a nation deep in character, story, and charm. Now, for the first time since Blue Highways, Heat-Moon is back on the backroads. Roads to Quoz is his lyrical, funny, and touching account of a series of American journeys into small-town America.

Hijos del Nilo
Summary
El Nilo no es un río. El mayor de los ríos africanos es el corazón de cientos de pueblos y testigo infatigable del ascenso y el ocaso de las dinastías de faraones más poderosas de la Tierra. Su nombre evoca secretos ocultos en pirámides y alimenta el orgullo de civilizaciones milenarias que aún hoy luchan por su supervivencia. El Nilo es hoy la paz del norte de Uganda pero también la guerra de Sudán del Sur; es la vida en los valles de Etiopía y la muerte en los calabozos de Egipto o Sudán. Es dictadura, desigualdad, progreso, esperanza y ansias de libertad. Es también el sueño de una revolución. Pese a sus cicatrices, el Nilo sigue siendo cuna del mestizaje de las grandes culturas africanas y mediterráneas de ayer y de hoy. Durante varios meses, Xavier Aldekoa ha recorrido el Nilo, desde las fuentes hasta su desembocadura, para descubrir sus gentes, sus culturas y sus tradiciones. A través de las historias de quienes habitan sus orillas, nos acerca otros mundos que, pese a todo, no son tan lejanos. Porque el Nilo es un pedazo del alma de la cultura occidental. Una oportunidad de mirar al diferente. De entender al otro y entendernos a nosotros mismos. Todos somos hijos del Nilo. Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish.
