Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Maverick USA Way is the fifth in Mary Jane's series of unconventional travel memoirs. Mary Jane has been visiting the USA since the 1990s, and travelled right around the continental USA by Amtrak train in the autumn and winter of 2016 and 2017. Not only was she confronted by politics during the height of the 2016 election season, but also discovered environmental and social issues along the way. She took the train to the Glacier, Grand Teton, Yosemite and Rocky Mountains National Parks before the snow hit. She loved the Smithsonian museums and after seeing a dance at the Museum of the American Indian in Washington DC, she decided to go to Standing Rock. It was a protest over land rights and drinking water, at 30 below zero! She was awed by Chicago architecture, by an Art Deco Detroit which is reverting into a park, by Galveston and by Birmingham, Alabama. She was in America for the election and was not surprised Trump won. She was tired of being mistaken for a homeless person because she wore a back pack, and left San Francisco because of it. The book begins with a guest historical chapter, and then tumbles directly into Mary Jane's own account of life on the rails, plus a spell in Hawai'i on the way home."--Amazon.com.
Download or read book Iran Make Love Not War A Maverick Iranian Way written by Mary Jane Walker and published by . This book was released on 2019-08-11 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Iran is completely different to the cartoon-like image portrayed in the West, of a land of religious fanatics chanting Death to America. In reality it's a fabulous ancient civilisation and a country that's full of intelligent young people. This book, Iran: Make Love not War is an impression of Iran, gleaned from a three-week visit in 2018. I visited Tabriz, Teheran, Isfahan, Shiraz, the ancient capital of Persepolis, royal graves and the desert city of Yazd. I saw smugglers and prostitutes whose practice was sanctioned as a temporary marriage by clerics; the most fabulous mosques and palaces anywhere; one of the first planned cities at Isfahan; Shiraz, the abode of poets and the stained glass mosque of Nasir-ol-Molk; and much more.

Book excerpt: A Maverick Cuban Way is a historically-informed travel memoir, which describes Mary Jane Walker's three-week visit to Cuba at the end of 2016 and the beginning of 2017.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kiwi adventurer Mary Jane Walker had no particular intention of visiting the Himalayas, till one day some friends invited her on a cheap trekking trip. So began a deep engagement with the region and its peoples and a series of return trips. Mary Jane visits and treks Pakistan's north-west frontier, Kashmir, Dharamshala (the abode of the Dalai Lama), high Himalayan Nepal (the Annapurna, Manaslu and Everest regions), and Sikkim. She also explores central India, Pakistan's north-west frontier, Mumbai, Kerala and Kolkata, and takes a trip to the ecologically sensitive Chitwan region on the border of Nepal and India. She discusses the history and social conditions of the region's peoples including the consequences of the tragic 2015 Nepal earthquake, and makes many surprising discoveries: such as the fact that ancient coins minted in Peshawar (now in Pakistan) once bore the image of the Buddha--and, even more remarkably, his name in Greek letters!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BY THE AUTHOR OF A MAVERICK NEW ZEALAND WAY, FINALIST IN THE TRAVEL CATEGORY, INTERNATIONAL BOOK AWARDS, MAY 2018. If you've heard of famous Himalayan peaks like Annapurna and Ama Dablam, but aren't into mountaineering, this book is for you! A Maverick Himalayan Way is about the Himalayas, but it isn't a hardcore mountaineering book. Instead, Mary Jane recounts her adventures and misadventures as an average sort of a person who happens to travel into the world's most famous mountain region; and to several other places in Asia as well. Like most Kiwis, Mary Jane was raised on tales of the New Zealander Edmund Hillary's climbing of Mount Everest alongside the Nepalese Sherpa Tenzing Norgay, and of Hillary's good works among the impoverished Sherpa thereafter. But she never felt the urge to go to the Himalayas herself, until friends persuaded her to go with them on a trek up to Everest Base Camp. What the heck, she thought-let's go! But if she was going to go to the Himalayas, she wasn't going to confine herself to the Everest region-or even to Nepal. In A Maverick Himalayan Way, Mary Jane describes her adventures in several parts of Nepal: in the Everest region, Manaslu, Annapurna, and the Kathmandu Valley. And, In the Chitral district of Pakistan, bordering Afghanistan, where the Hindu Kush mountains continue the Himalayas westward. In Sikkim, a once-independent principality east of Nepal. In several parts of India, namely Srinagar (in Kashmir), Dharamshala, Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, Kolkata, Mumbai and Kerala. In Abu Dhabi; and, In China and Japan, including a journey into the Japanese Alps, little-known outside Japan itself.
