This book was released on 2007-06-01. The Myway Code available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The Highway Code is Britain’s best selling non-fiction book, and in 2006 it will be exactly 75 years old. Isn’t it about time that the old codger got out of the driving seat and let the real rules of the road take over? Enter The Myway Code, the shifty, wayward offspring of the original that has priority over all oncoming vehicles and is set to drive itself to the top of the charts faster and harder than is legally appropriate. Written and laid out in a style which will be familiar to anyone who has seen, and therefore failed to read, the official book, The Myway Code puts its foot down and its finger up, as it rips up the L-plates and tears up the road like an XR3i full of feral children on alcopops.

Download and read online ebook Travels with Herodotus write by Ryszard Kapuscinski. This book was released on 2009-11-11. Travels with Herodotus available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. From the renowned journalist comes this intimate account of his years in the field, traveling for the first time beyond the Iron Curtain to India, China, Ethiopia, and other exotic locales. In the 1950s, Ryszard Kapuscinski finished university in Poland and became a foreign correspondent, hoping to go abroad – perhaps to Czechoslovakia. Instead, he was sent to India – the first stop on a decades-long tour of the world that took Kapuscinski from Iran to El Salvador, from Angola to Armenia. Revisiting his memories of traveling the globe with a copy of Herodotus' Histories in tow, Kapuscinski describes his awakening to the intricacies and idiosyncrasies of new environments, and how the words of the Greek historiographer helped shape his own view of an increasingly globalized world. Written with supreme eloquence and a constant eye to the global undercurrents that have shaped the last half-century, Travels with Herodotus is an exceptional chronicle of one man's journey across continents.
