Sitting at home listening to the shipping forecast can be a cosily reassuring experience.

	FLETCHER, MARTIN Silver Linings : Travels Around Northern Ireland 2001. (ISBN: 0349112517) Soft Cover, B Format. Northern Ireland has made headlines around the world for three decades. The province has become synonymous with conflict, terrorism and tortuous efforts to forge peace. But what is life there really like? In this enchanting and highly original book Martin Fletcher presents a portrait of Northern Ireland utterly at odds with its dire international image. He paints a compelling picture of a place caught in a time warp since the 1960s, of a land of mountains, lakes and rivers where customs, traditions and old-world charm survive, of an incredibly resourceful province that has given the world not just bombs and bullets but the Titanic, the tyre and the tractor, a dozen American presidents, two prime ministers of New Zealand and a Hindu god. He meets an intelligent, fun-loving, God-fearing people who may do terrible things to each other but who could not be more welcoming to outsiders. He describes a land of awful beauty, a battleground of good and evil, a province populated by saints and sinners that has yet to be rendered bland by the forces of modernity. Very Good/Very Good.

His mission: to track down members of the country's football team and persuade them to play him at tennis.

	HORWITZ, TONY Into the Blue : Boldly Going Where Captain Cook Has Gone Before Bloomsbury. 2002. (ISBN: 0747560471) Hard Cover. Rarely have the heroic endeavours of Captain James Cook been accorded a biographical odyssey that can match the ambition of Tony Horwitz's Into the Blue; this is an epic treatment of an epic subject. More than the picture of a remarkable and enigmatic personality, this is a panoply of an age of exploration and adventure. The three dangerous voyages that he undertook between 1768 and 1779 were unquestionably daunting for Cook and his covoyagers, but they also signified the final glorious flowering of the voyages of discovery across the surface of the planet. Cook had the distinction of discovering more of the far-flung corners of the earth than any of his predecessors. From Tahiti to Siberia, from the mysteries of Easter Island to the exotic dangers of the Great Barrier Reef, Cook and his crew brought back to the "civilised" world news of some of the most shocking aspects of the human condition and as Horwitz reports, "people listened agog to his descriptions of the horrors of cannibalism and ritualistic sexual excess."

	HUDSON, MARK Coming Back Brokkens : A Year in a Mining Village Vintage. 1995. (ISBN: 0099462117) Soft Cover, B Format. few years ago, the author went to live in Horden, a mining village on the bleak east coast of Durham. Horden had been the biggest colliery in Britain, and among the men who had worked there were Hudson's great-grandfather and grandfather. The pit is now closed, and remains alive only in the memories of its old people. In search of his forebears, Hudson listened to the tales of how it once was, of the hardships and traditions of the miner's life, and of the struggles and triumphs of trade unionism. He also heard tales of his ancestors, although these tales flicker and fluctuate; the only certainty is the pit. In this book, Hudson portrays a world that has gone for ever, and offers an angry indictment of what has taken its place. The author won the Thomas Cook Award and the Somerset Maugham Award for "Our Grandmothers' Drums". Good/Good.

	KAPUSCINSKI, RYSZARD Travels with Herodotus Allen Lane Penguin. 2007. (ISBN: 0713998482) Hard Cover. As a novice reporter in the 1950's, the young Ryzsard Kapuscinski wanted nothing more than to travel outside the borders of Poland. One day, without warning, his editor called him into her office and told him he was being sent to India. 'At the end of our conversation, during which I learned that I would indeed be going forth into the world, Tarlowska reached into a cabinet, took out a book, and handing it to me said 'Here, a present for the road'. It was a thick book with a stiff cover of yellow cloth. On the front, stamped in gold letters, was "Herodotus' The Histories"'. "Travels with Herodotus" records how Kapuscinski set out on his first forays - to India, China and Africa - with the great Greek historian constantly in his pocket. He sees Louis Armstrong in Khartoum, visits Dar-es-Salaam, arrives in Algiers in time for a coup when nothing seems to happen (but he sees the Mediterranean for the first time).At every encounter with a new culture, Kapuscinski plunges in, curious and observant, thirsting to understand its history, its thought, its people. And he reads Herodotus so much that he often feels he is embarking on two journeys - the first his assignment as a reporter, the second following Herodotus' expeditions. Woven into his accounts of his travels are his retellings of Herodotus' epic stories. His whole life as a reporter is a dialogue with what he calls 'world literature's first great work of reportage'. What kind of restless, enquiring traveller was its author? he asks. 'Man is by nature a sedentary creature, settled down happily, naturally, on his particular patch of earth ..But to traverse the world for years in order to get to know it, to plumb it, to understand it? And then, later, to put all his findings into words? Such people have always been uncommon'.How right, and how satisfying, that those words should be among the last written by Ryszard Kapuscinski, the greatest traveller-reporter of our time.

In his autobiography he describes how he led expeditions all over the world and became the first person to travel to both poles on land. He tells of how he discovered the lost city of Ubar in Oman and attempted to walk solo and unsupported to the South Pole – the expedition that cost him several fingers, and very nearly his life. His most recent challenge was scaling the north face of the Eiger, one of the most awesome mountaineering challenges in the world.

	FLETCHER, MARTIN Silver Linings : Travels Around Northern Ireland 2001. (ISBN: 0349112517) Soft Cover, B Format. Northern Ireland has made headlines around the world for three decades. The province has become synonymous with conflict, terrorism and tortuous efforts to forge peace. But what is life there really like? In this enchanting and highly original book Martin Fletcher presents a portrait of Northern Ireland utterly at odds with its dire international image. He paints a compelling picture of a place caught in a time warp since the 1960s, of a land of mountains, lakes and rivers where customs, traditions and old-world charm survive, of an incredibly resourceful province that has given the world not just bombs and bullets but the Titanic, the tyre and the tractor, a dozen American presidents, two prime ministers of New Zealand and a Hindu god. He meets an intelligent, fun-loving, God-fearing people who may do terrible things to each other but who could not be more welcoming to outsiders. He describes a land of awful beauty, a battleground of good and evil, a province populated by saints and sinners that has yet to be rendered bland by the forces of modernity. Very Good/Very Good.

	HAWKS, TONY Playing the Moldovans at Tennis Ebury Press. 2001. (ISBN: 0091874564) Soft Cover. All I knew about Moldova were the names of eleven men printed on the inside back pages of my newspaper.

	HORWITZ, TONY Into the Blue : Boldly Going Where Captain Cook Has Gone Before Bloomsbury. 2002. (ISBN: 0747560471) Hard Cover. Rarely have the heroic endeavours of Captain James Cook been accorded a biographical odyssey that can match the ambition of Tony Horwitz's Into the Blue; this is an epic treatment of an epic subject. More than the picture of a remarkable and enigmatic personality, this is a panoply of an age of exploration and adventure. The three dangerous voyages that he undertook between 1768 and 1779 were unquestionably daunting for Cook and his covoyagers, but they also signified the final glorious flowering of the voyages of discovery across the surface of the planet. Cook had the distinction of discovering more of the far-flung corners of the earth than any of his predecessors. From Tahiti to Siberia, from the mysteries of Easter Island to the exotic dangers of the Great Barrier Reef, Cook and his crew brought back to the "civilised" world news of some of the most shocking aspects of the human condition and as Horwitz reports, "people listened agog to his descriptions of the horrors of cannibalism and ritualistic sexual excess."

	HUDSON, MARK Coming Back Brokkens : A Year in a Mining Village Vintage. 1995. (ISBN: 0099462117) Soft Cover, B Format. few years ago, the author went to live in Horden, a mining village on the bleak east coast of Durham. Horden had been the biggest colliery in Britain, and among the men who had worked there were Hudson's great-grandfather and grandfather. The pit is now closed, and remains alive only in the memories of its old people. In search of his forebears, Hudson listened to the tales of how it once was, of the hardships and traditions of the miner's life, and of the struggles and triumphs of trade unionism. He also heard tales of his ancestors, although these tales flicker and fluctuate; the only certainty is the pit. In this book, Hudson portrays a world that has gone for ever, and offers an angry indictment of what has taken its place. The author won the Thomas Cook Award and the Somerset Maugham Award for "Our Grandmothers' Drums". Good/Good.

	KAPUSCINSKI, RYSZARD Travels with Herodotus Allen Lane Penguin. 2007. (ISBN: 0713998482) Hard Cover. As a novice reporter in the 1950's, the young Ryzsard Kapuscinski wanted nothing more than to travel outside the borders of Poland. One day, without warning, his editor called him into her office and told him he was being sent to India. 'At the end of our conversation, during which I learned that I would indeed be going forth into the world, Tarlowska reached into a cabinet, took out a book, and handing it to me said 'Here, a present for the road'. It was a thick book with a stiff cover of yellow cloth. On the front, stamped in gold letters, was "Herodotus' The Histories"'. "Travels with Herodotus" records how Kapuscinski set out on his first forays - to India, China and Africa - with the great Greek historian constantly in his pocket. He sees Louis Armstrong in Khartoum, visits Dar-es-Salaam, arrives in Algiers in time for a coup when nothing seems to happen (but he sees the Mediterranean for the first time).At every encounter with a new culture, Kapuscinski plunges in, curious and observant, thirsting to understand its history, its thought, its people. And he reads Herodotus so much that he often feels he is embarking on two journeys - the first his assignment as a reporter, the second following Herodotus' expeditions. Woven into his accounts of his travels are his retellings of Herodotus' epic stories. His whole life as a reporter is a dialogue with what he calls 'world literature's first great work of reportage'. What kind of restless, enquiring traveller was its author? he asks. 'Man is by nature a sedentary creature, settled down happily, naturally, on his particular patch of earth ..But to traverse the world for years in order to get to know it, to plumb it, to understand it? And then, later, to put all his findings into words? Such people have always been uncommon'.How right, and how satisfying, that those words should be among the last written by Ryszard Kapuscinski, the greatest traveller-reporter of our time.
