Don't just see the sights-get to know the people. For much of its history Cyprus was regarded as the Cinderella of empires--beautiful, abused, isolated. Today, the island is divided between the Greek-Cypriot south and the Turkish occupied north. However, both sides take pride in a shared "Cypriotness," and are united in their common hopes, pain, memories, music, excellent cuisine, rich history, and majestic landscape. Culture Smart! Cyprus equips you with essential information on the history, values, and attitudes of the people you will meet, their customs and traditions, and offers tips on etiquette and socializing. Have a richer and more meaningful experience abroad through a better understanding of the local culture. Chapters on history, values, attitudes, and traditions will help you to better understand your hosts, while tips on etiquette and communicating will help you to navigate unfamiliar situations and avoid faux pas.

Regarded as the cradle of Western civilization, Greece is the birthplace of democracy, Western philosophy, Western literature, political science, major mathematical principles and Western drama, as well as the Olympic Games. But it is also a country of mountains - 80 per cent of the country is mountainous - as well as islands - of more than 1,000 islands, 227 are inhabited. And it has the longest coastline of any Mediterranean country. From antiquity to modernity, from the tallest mountains to the tiniest islands, from the Romans to the Venetians to the Ottomans, Greece is a beautiful photographic exploration of this fascinating country. Arranged by region, the book celebrates such classical highlights as Athens's Acropolis, the ruins at Mycenae in the Peloponnese, the Byzantine churches of Thessaloniki and the ancient Temple at Delphi. It also explores the beauty of the islands of the Aegean and the Ionian Sea, the Zagori mountains in the northwest of the country and the hydrothermal craters on Nisyros. Presented in a landscape format and with captions explaining the story behind each entry, Greece is a stunning collection of images celebrating one of the world's most popular destinations.

""Unbridled Freedom" is an unvarnished look at a woman at the crossroads. Whether she's following in the footsteps of her Irish ancestors or living life to the fullest in a clothing optional resort, McNally is an ideal traveling companion: funny, fearless, and utterly honest. Unbridled Freedom will leave you longing to embark on a journey of your own."

- Jim Ruland, author of "Big Lonesome"

Everyone believed Barbara was living the American Dream. She married her college sweetheart, sustained him on his rise to success, and seemed to have the perfect marriage, the perfect family, the perfect home. But when she strayed and her matrimonial cookie crumbled, Barbara realized that to be more than a just a wife . . . she'd have to get a life.

Following the lead of her adventurous late grandmother, she set off to overcome her fears and find her independence. While exploring Ireland, the land of her ancestors, she danced with horsemen, communed with priestesses, and had an erotic encounter in an ancient castle.

Somewhere along the way, she discovered parts of herself that had been missing from her life. Something she'd longed for without knowing it. She tasted freedom and wanted more.

Seeking to discover her inner self, she set off on another kind of adventure-a visit to a hedonistic resort in Jamaica. After an unexpected turn of events took her through the locked gates of a run-down orphanage filled with troubled adolescent girls who were transitioning into women, she realized that she had long ago created her own prison and that she alone held the key.

By turns sensual and soulful, helpful and humorous, Barbara's remarkable story takes you on a journey of introspection and exploration leads to unbridled freedom.

There is no greater joy than the adventure of discovering who you really are and then living that life. This memoir tells the story of Barbara's impulsive liberation, how she got her wings and learned to fly-her pursuit of being original, open to the joy of expressing herself as a multidimensional woman.
