"When Prince Charles launched Operation Raleigh in November 1984, thousands of young people from all over the world applied to join what was to become one of the most exciting global adventures ever attempted. Its aim was not only to expand their horizons by offering undreamed-of challenges, but to give them the chance of working with local people and advancing the frontiers of science and exploration the world over. In this sequel to The Start of an Adventure, John Blashford-Snell and Ann Tweedy narrate the second stage of this astonishing enterprise, which took over 1000 Venturers as far afield as southern Chile, the enchanted islands of the Pacific, Australia, Tasmania, New Zealand and the vertiginous massifs of the Hunza Valley in Pakistan.".…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - WINNER OF THE BI BOOK AWARD 'Home is the structure you build when nowhere else will have you,' writes Ann Tweedy in this gutsy, no-nonsense collection of poems built on a precarious and often tender journey through homes no longer available to return to. The result is neither sadness nor nostalgia; it is hard, clean narrative of self-preservation and survival, fitted with unexpected joy. I feel such kinship with these poems, their testament to the strength and determination of women and men who struggle to build life anew, and to find home and happiness in a world of travail. What a blessed space this book is: a home for the wayward soul.>Ann Tweedy's first book is a brave and honest examination of liminality. In delicate lyrics she confesses to trespass, asking readers to question the boundaries between acts and identity, sexuality and family. The Body's Alphabet documents the poet's courage, living openly as a bisexual feminist. Although childhood logic taught her that 'home is the structure / you build when nowhere else will have you,' these beautiful poems knit and nest safe haven for a life spent gathering freedom.-Carol Guess, author of Doll Studies: Forensics What made me sit down and read The Body's Alphabet, cover to cover, in a single evening Perhaps it is the way that I know, in Ann Tweedy's poems, I will find the unvarnished truth, and a voice with 'the drowsed freedom to talk about anything.' And I know I will find that truth compassionately rendered, details delicately arranged like the flowers of the 'dutiful and stubborn' forsythia of which she writes. This is a book about finding homes for ourselves-homes for our adult selves, even as complex memories of our childhood homes still live inside us; homes for our bodies; homes in the natural world. Tweedy's vision is both hopeful and wise.-Katrina Vandenberg, author of Atlas and The Alphabet Not Unlike the World.…
