Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. More Than a Map: Uncover Portugal's Charm with a Story of Witty Travels & Intriguing Discoveries Settle in for a travel narrative that proves the most enriching journeys are often the ones that go a little off-script. This refreshingly honest account of exploring the Azores and Lisbon is de…signed to bring a smile to your face, weaving together personal experiences, amusing mishaps, and a treasure trove of interesting trivia.The story kicks off with an all-too-familiar travel hurdle: a ten-hour Boston layover. From there, it's on to the Azores, where you'll follow the author's encounters with the quirks of rental cars, the mystery of hard-to-find resorts, and the atmospheric challenges of fog and rain that transform sightseeing into genuine adventure. Amidst this charmingly imperfect exploration, the narrative shares heartwarming vignettes like a child's first surfing success, a memorable (and rather painful!) piri piri sauce incident, and the unexpected joy of a sea turtle rescue. Throughout, you'll discover fascinating details about Azorean life, volcanic wonders, and historic churches, all naturally integrated into the author's experiences.The journey then continues to Lisbon, a city where layers of history are revealed around every corner. Even as plans change - like an unexpectedly cancelled excursion - the author uncovers the city's spirit, from enjoying shrimp risotto in a modern Expo site to reflecting on Portugal's incredible past. The narrative thoughtfully incorporates intriguing facts and stories about the Age of Discovery, the impactful Carnation Revolution, and the historic earthquake that shaped the city, making history feel alive as you wander through its squares and admire its famous tilework.This book is an invitation to experience Portugal through a story that balances witty observation with a genuine curiosity for its culture and past. If you delight in travelogues that offer both an engaging narrative and a collection of fascinating insights, prepare to be charmed by this unique Portuguese journey. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Palmetto Bugs and Broken Arrows: Savannah's Grand Plans and Glorious MisfiresPart investigative history, part wry travelogue, and part personal reckoning, Palmetto Bugs and Broken Arrows is a deep-dive exploration of a city where utopian dreams and chaotic reality have been roommates for th…ree centuries.When the narrator returns to Savannah after twenty years, he finds a city that is a masterclass in irony. It is a place founded by a prison-reformer who banned lawyers, yet is now draped in legal billboards; a city designed with military precision that was ultimately "saved" by being surrendered; and a coastline that hides everything from 16th-century Spanish ruins to a lost Cold War hydrogen bomb.Inside the Layers of the Hostess City: The Utopian Blueprint: Revisit James Oglethorpe's radical 1733 experiment-a philanthropic colony that banned rum and slavery, only to see its rigid rules collapse under the weight of human nature.From Pearls to "Broken Arrows" Trace the city's violent intersections with global history, from Hernando de Soto's theft of freshwater pearls to the 1958 mid-air collision that left a nuclear weapon submerged off Tybee Island.The Architecture of Survival: Explore the rugged history of Fort Pulaski, the "Mighty Eighth" Air Force's WWII home front, and the Gullah-Geechee resilience of Pin Point.A Personal Map: Follow the narrator as he measures the city's grand historic squares against his own gritty memories of roach-infested apartments and hospital shifts-proving that in Savannah, the "bugs" are as much a part of the story as the monuments.Why You'll Love This Journey: This isn't a polished tourism brochure; it's a narrative about contingency. It's about how tides, terrain, and timing shape the world. Whether it's dodging "king tides" that close off the coast or investigating the dubious "shanghaiing tunnels" beneath a pirate-themed restaurant, this book captures the spirit of a city that is equal parts documented record and packaged legend.With a keen eye for the absurd and a deep respect for the dead, Palmetto Bugs and Broken Arrows invites you to walk the grid of a city where history isn't behind glass-it's under your fingernails.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Conquistadors and Condos: The Hidden History of Florida's 30ABeyond the sugar-white sands and luxury rentals of Florida's Scenic Highway 30A lies a landscape shaped by centuries of shipwrecks, sovereign struggles, and deep-time geology.In Conquistadors and Condos, Roland Rambler pulls back…the curtain on one of America's most polished resort corridors to reveal the raw, turbulent history beneath the pavement. This isn't your average beach guide-it's a deep-dive travelogue that connects the rare coastal dune lakes of today to the Paleoindian shellfishers, Spanish explorers, and Union raiders who walked these shores long before the first beach umbrella was planted.A Journey Through Time and TideThe book follows a "past-in-the-present" route along the Timpoochee Trail, moving from the Gulf's highest dunes to the tech-forward streets of Seaside. You'll explore: The Foundation: Discover the ancient Appalachians' role in creating 30A's iconic quartz sand and the karst-bound aquifer that feeds its rare coastal lakes.The Age of Exploration: Relive the harrowing disasters of the Spanish era, from Panfilo de Narvaez's doomed barge launch to Tristan de Luna's hurricane-wrecked colony.Hidden Figures: Meet the Yuchi leader Timpoochee Kinnard, who managed a sovereign interior in the face of European expansion, and Alexander Asboth, the Hungarian revolutionary who led bold Union raids through the Panhandle.The New Urbanism Revolution: Trace the architectural evolution of the coast-from the "Truman Show" streets of Seaside to the fortified, high-design luxury of Alys Beach.Where Nature Meets NecessityModern 30A is a fragile paradise. Rambler expertly weaves together the region's ecological marvels with its most pressing modern challenges: Wild Florida: From the hunting dialects of resident bottlenose dolphins to the seasonal migrations of manatees and the tense reality of bull shark alleys.Trials by Fire (and Water): A candid look at how the region survives-and thrives-after the devastation of hurricanes like Opal and Michael, and the economic shock of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.The Logic of Luxury: An insider's perspective on the unique real estate and design codes that have turned a series of isolated fishing hamlets into a global destination.Why Read This Book?Whether you are a repeat visitor to Blue Mountain Beach, a resident of Rosemary Beach, or a history buff fascinated by the "Third Coast," Conquistadors and Condos offers a necessary lens. It is a story of movement, coercion, and reinvention-a reminder that the ground we vacation on is governed by the same springs, storms, and spirits that defined it five hundred years ago.Discover the 30A you never knew existed.
