Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A ravishing photographic portrait of a hidden gem of the Aegean Kasos is the southernmost island of the Dodecanese, lying between Karpathos and Crete. Roughly eleven miles long and four miles wide, Kasos was famed from antiquity as a center of shipbuilding, and played a role in the Greek War of Independence. But with the advent of steam, the island’s shipyard closed, and its population dwindled. Today some one thousand people remain on the island, living in five small villages full of historic homes and churches. In 1965, Robert McCabe traversed the stormy seas to Kasos, and was instantly captivated by its rocky, mountainous landscape and sparkling beaches. Through his lens, we encounter the island’s daily life and striking terrain; from its ports, where crowds await the mail’s arrival; to the villages, where carefree children play in the streets, dancers step to the music of lyres and violins, and friends gather for coffee; to the mountaintop views of fields, shores, and islands nestled in the sea. In a stark contrast to the transformation undergone by other Greek islands, many of the scenes depicted in McCabe’s photographs remain almost unchanged today. The text, by Nikos G. Mastropavlos, a distinguished journalist who grew up on Kasos, brings the photographs to life and sheds light on the island’s history. Mastropavlos and another essayist of Kasiote ancestry, Marilen Frangoulis Kedros, offer thoughtful reflections on the meaning of the island to its inhabitants and their descendants. Featuring stunning full-page tritone reproductions of McCabe’s photographs, A Postcard from Kasos, 1965 will appeal to all travelers off the beaten track.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Struggling to stay alive with a gaping wound across my back, I desperately wondered how I got to this point. My knife-wielding opponent was not the attacker... He'd been defending himself against an ego-driven, menacing thug who was intent on hurting him. That thug was me. In a hole of anxiety and depression, Luke Kennedy resorted to drugs, alcohol, graffiti and fighting in a desperate bid to silence his frantic mind. Soon he was leading a street-fighting and graffiti crew, and constantly coming close to killing others or being killed. Tortured by the voices in his head, Luke began looking for an out. Eventually he found it - and lost 47 kilos in the process. Redemption Road is the gripping and powerful story of Luke's journey from ego-driven, obese thug to fit, sober and successful business owner whose focus is on helping others turn their lives around.
