Paperback. Condition: Good. What originally started out as a few tips and suggestions for friends traveling abroad, Semester Abroad: A College Students Guide to Europe soon began to take shape. Within two years of returning from Europe, the 21 year old author had completed writing her book. Semester Abroad is not a list of where to stay and what to eat --there are plenty of those on the bookstore shelves written by adults for adults and families. It is more of an overview of traveling through Europe as a young adult. The opening chapters discuss important travel information like what to pack, documents needed and how to make the trip as smooth as possible. Most major countries in Europe are covered in their own chapter in this niche travel guide for the student/backpacking traveler. The country chapters discuss the main places of interest, the easiest way to tour each city as well as a historical overview. Reid believes it is important to have a basic understanding of the culture and history to best enjoy what each town and country has to offer. Along with the typical travel do's and don'ts, is important information such as the major holidays, tipping information and the American Embassy phone number. The book is designed for travelers of all budgets and interests. Semester Abroad is set to be an all-encompassing travel guide for the quick-paced world of study abroad students and backpackers from the perspective of a young college student.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. Perfect for fans of the Emmy Award-winning series Downton Abbey, whose creator, Julian Fellowes, raved that Sisters of Fortune is absolutely fascinating--a real-life Jane Austen story, that follows the fabulous Caton sisters, the first American heiresses to take Europe by storm. Based on intimate and previously unpublished letters written by the sisters, this is a portrait of four lively and fashionable women in early nineteenth century America. Much of it is told in their own voices as they gossip about prominent people of their time, advise family members on political and financial strategy, soothe each other's sorrows, and rejoice in each other's triumphs. Descended from one of the nation's founding fathers and raised to be educated, independent, and opinionated young women, Marianne, Bess, Louisa, and Emily Caton traveled to England in 1816 and won coveted places at the highest levels of Regency society by virtue of their charm, intelligence, and great beauty. An unusual, remarkable true story of money, love, and life at the top, Sisters of Fortune is a romantic family history and an inside look at the adventures of America's original blue-blooded girls.…

Hardback. Condition: Good. In the bestselling memoir Funny in Farsi, Firoozeh Dumas recounted her adventures growing up Iranian American in Southern California. Now she again mines her rich Persian heritage in Laughing Without an Accent, sharing stories both tender and humorous on being a citizen of the world, on her well-meaning family, and on amusing cultural conundrums, all told with insights into the universality of the human condition. (Hint: It may have to do with brushing and flossing daily.) With dry wit and a bold spirit, Dumas puts her own unique mark on the themes of family, community, and tradition. She braves the uncommon palate of her French-born husband and learns the nuances of having her book translated for Persian audiences. (The censors edit out all references to ham.) And along the way, she reconciles her beloved Iranian customs with her Western ideals.Explaining crossover cultural food fare, Dumas says, The weirdest American culinary marriage is yams with melted marshmallows. I don't know who thought of this Thanksgiving tradition, but I'm guessing a hyperactive, toothless three-year-old. On Iranian wedding anniversaries: It just initially seemed odd to celebrate the day that 'our families decided we should marry even though I had never met you, and frankly, it's not working out so well.' On trying to fit in with her American peers: At the time, my father drove a Buick LeSabre, a fancy French word meaning 'OPEC thanks you.' Dumas also documents her first year as a new mother, the familial chaos that ensues after she removes the television set from the house, the experience of taking 51 family members on a birthday cruise to Alaska, and a road trip to Iowa with an American once held hostage in Iran.Droll, moving, and relevant, Laughing Without an Accent shows how our differences can unite us--and provides indelible proof that Firoozeh Dumas is a humorist of the highest order.…
