In Niger, where access to rail and air travel requires overcoming many obstacles, roads are the nation's lifeline. For a year in the early 1990s, Peter Chilson traveled this desert country by automobile to experience West African road culture. He crisscrossed the same roads again and again with bush taxi driver Issoufou Garba in order to learn one driver's story inside and out. He hitchhiked, riding in cotton trucks, and traveled with other bush taxi drivers, truckers, road engineers, an anthropologist, Niger's only licensed woman commercial driver, and a customs officer. The road in Africa, s

One of the first great reference tools on the Commonwealth, this WPA Guide is an important, vital part of our heritage. While it includes brief essays describing Kentucky's history, folklore, education, industry, geology, ethnic mix and other topics, the most remarkable feature is the driving tours that are as accurate today as they were more than half a century ago. Careful annotations give directions, point out historical and tourist sites, describe the country side, and even provide mileage for the drives.

Our continued use of the combustion engine car in the 21st century, despite many rational arguments against it, makes it more and more difficult to imagine that transport has a sustainable future. Offering a sweeping transatlantic perspective, this book explains the current obsession with automobiles by delving deep into the motives of early car users. It provides a synthesis of our knowledge about the emergence and persistence of the car, using a broad range of material including novels, poems, films, and songs to unearth the desires that shaped our present ""car society.""

In May 1995, with nothing but a backpack and a vague sense of disquiet, Patrick Dobson left his home and a steady if deadening job in Kansas City, Missouri. Over the next two and a half months he made his way to Helena, Montana, letting chance encounters guide him to a deeper sense of who he was and where he was going. His chronicle of this journey charts his experiences with the seldom-seen people of the small towns, the far-flung outposts, and the Great Plains that make up "our America."

"'Je dois partir et vivre, ou rester et mourir' écrit Shakespeare, repris par Nicolas Bouvier en exergue de L'usage du monde. À l'été 1986, quelques mois après l'accident nucléaire de Tchernobyl, Nicolas de Crécy et son cousin ont à peine 20 ans quand ils récupèrent une Citroën Visa moribonde. Ils remplissent la voiture de livres, qu'ils ne liront pas, ajoutent deux sacs de couchage, des cigarettes... et embarquent pour un voyage qui n'a pas de destination, mais doit les mener le plus loin possible. Ils traversent le nord de l'Italie, la Yougoslavie, la Bulgarie et descendent en Turquie, dans un périple qui les confrontent au monde autant qu'à eux-mêmes."--Publisher.
