Download or read book Bad Tourist written by Suzanne Roberts and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2020-10 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Both a memoir in travel essays and an anti-guidebook, Bad Tourist takes us across four continents to fifteen countries, showing us what not to do when traveling. A woman learning to claim her own desires and adventures, Suzanne Roberts encounters lightning and landslides, sharks and piranha-infested waters, a nightclub drugging, burning bodies, and brief affairs as she searches for the love of her life and finally herself. Throughout her travels Roberts tries hard not to be a bad tourist, but owing to her cultural blind spots, things don’t always go as planned. Fearlessly confessional, shamelessly funny, and wholly unapologetic, Roberts offers a refreshingly honest account of the joys and absurdities of confronting new landscapes and cultures, as well as new versions of herself. Raw, bawdy, and self-effacing, Bad Tourist is a journey packed with delights and surprises—both of the greater world and of the mysterious workings of the heart.

Adie Hamilton's lifelong dream of joining a prestigious archaeological excavation in Egypt is finally realized when she lands a spot on maverick professor Killian Carmichael's team. However, Adie quickly realises her brilliant but grumpy boss has little patience for her youthful enthusiasm and intuitive approach to the dig. Luckily, she forges a connection with fellow archaeologist Anton Kelley who is more than happy to indulge Adie's passions – both professional and personal. But as Adie navigates her increasingly thorny relationships with the two men, she learns they have an equally complicated history. Once, Killian was driven by the same thirst for discovery that fuels Adie, until his youthful enthusiasm cost him everything he held dear – his career, his friends, and the love of his life. He's still haunted by those past mistakes, even as he finds himself inexplicably drawn, against his better judgement, by Adie's drive and keen spirit. Both of which leave him itching to guide and possess her in equal measure. As the excavation progresses, the three archaeologists must combine their talents to locate a missing relic before Killian's bitter rival, a cult leader intent on cashing in on their efforts, gets to it first. With grave robbers, fanatical groupies, and pesky feelings complicating the mission, the team compete in a high-stakes race against time. For Adie, failure is not an option – she'll stop at nothing to unearth the relic, even if it means making some ethically questionable choices.

Download or read book The Saqqara Necropolis through the New Kingdom written by Nico Staring and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2022-11-28 with total page 559 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first comprehensive monographic treatment of the New Kingdom (1539–1078 BCE) necropolis at Saqqara, the burial ground of the ancient Egyptian city of Memphis, and addresses questions fundamental to understanding the site’s development through time. For example, why were certain areas of the necropolis selected for burial in certain time periods; what were the tombs’ spatial relations to contemporaneous and older monuments; and what effect did earlier structures have on the positioning of tombs and structuring of the necropolis in later times? This study adopts landscape biography as a conceptual tool to study the long-time interaction between people and landscapes.

Book excerpt: Can a band comprised of six very talented but very different musicians make a difference with their music? What made it possible for Diamond Rio to weather the storms inherent in the fickle world of fame and fortune and go more than two decades without a single lineup change? Any reader in search of transparency and a behind-the-scenes look into the life of the band as a unit as well as the individual lives of the players and singers will be well satisfied. Can true loyalty exist within the competitive, seemingly unforgiving music industry? In Beautiful Mess Marty Roe, Dan Truman, Jimmy Olander, Brian Prout, Gene Johnson, and Dana Williams each has an entire chapter devoted to his personal and professional life. The book’s tone is a welcome rarity—not written from one player’s perspective, but from all six as they “meet in the middle.” Beautiful Mess is a wild ride from the edge of disaster and a little-known secret to an ongoing heart-warming revival.

In his underwear. Making coffee. It’s suddenly not only hot outside, but exactly what is he doing inside, in her temporary kitchen? Dante’s plan was to escape to his family’s beach house for some quiet and privacy.

It took him months to clear his schedule—there’s no way he’s leaving now. With both refusing to leave, Zoe and Dante agree to be temporary roomies, but secretly aim to try to drive the other out. He plays his music as loud as he wants and will wear as little clothing as possible, and she’ll just go ahead and adopt that pig she fell in love with in town. But suddenly their game of one-upmanship takes a very sexy detour, and they can’t believe what happens next.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was so quiet, so dark, and so cold yet I sensed myself sweating, A loud bang went off from close by, someone called out in pain! Things fell onto me so I brushed them off, tried my best to focus but my vison was very blurred, things didn’t make sense, where was I, I couldn’t think for some reason, felt a little dizzy for some reason like I was drunk, My legs and arms felt heavy when I tried to move them, I wiped my eyes and they stung hard, stuff ran down my face that didn’t feel like rain and didn’t taste like rain, Foreign voices I could hear, more loud bangs went off from close by, Another call from someone in pain was heard, I tried to pull myself up but slipped and slipped again, The dark sky lit up and I wiped my eyes the best I could, 2 The rain I thought was falling on me wasn’t rain, it was black and thick, it smelled of oil, It went into my mouth so I spat it out, How was it raining oil, dreaming I thought I was, just in a bad dream and would wake up I was waiting for, I wasn’t dreaming, I was awake, lying in a ditch soaked in oil in the night somewhere but where somewhere was I didn’t know, “Shift over mate” I heard someone announce and felt someone push up against me with force, I swung round with the rifle I was holding, “Easy with that thing pal, it’s only me, we got big problems out there, Charlie team took a battering, minor casualties, the gun team are getting low on ammo, hey, where’s Sid bro” the same person asked after nudging me hard in the side, Without thinking I brought the end of the rifle up and hit whoever was talking too me across the jaw and scrambled out of the hole I was in, Losing my grip I slipped into another hole and bumped into another person, The rifle I had was not with me anymore, I looked about anxiously for something to defend myself, The person next to me didn’t move, 3 Someone called out from somewhere! The noise of shooting carried on followed by heavier shooting like from a machine gun, the black rain still fell down on me obscuring my vision, Bullets hit the sides of the hole I was in, the person who was next to me took a load of bullets or something else that pushed him hard against me, We both slipped further into the slipper mud and oil filled hole we were in, He was heavy and pushed me further into the bottom of the hole, The dark sky lit up followed by a very loud explosive sound, The ground around us shook, the person who was half on top of me took the impact from whatever was flying around, I went into the oily muddy water at the bottom of the hole, The weight of whoever was on top of me pushed me further down, Oil, water and mud went into my mouth and everywhere else, I couldn’t move this person off me and gasped for air, Strange thoughts went through my mind, was this the end I thought to myself? 4 With all my strength I pushed hard on the body that was on top and drowning me, I managed to get my head up out of the oily mud and gasped for air, More bullets bounced around the walls of the hole, someone called out in pain, another explosion went off close by that shook the ground hard, I went back under the mud again and fought hard to push the weight off me, With one last effort of strength I pushed my arm out of the mud in an attempt to grab hold of anything, Someone grabbed my hand and pulled hard, “Got you brother, we got you know mate” I heard someone called out! I woke and opened my eyes to see a pretty lady leaning over me, “It’s ok darling, you safe with me, another bad dream my darling, just a bad dream, I am here with you” I heard her say softly as she held my hand and pulled me from the floor back into bed, I looked hard at her and realized this lady was my wife and it was just another bad dream, She comforted me as I led shaking and covered in sweat, The dreams continue, they never go away.
