"Don't women with children travel?" Marybeth Bond and Pamela
Michael enquire, in their book A Mother's World: Journeys of the
Heart (1998), when discovering the absence of portrayals of
travelling mothers. Addressing this absence, our book Travellin'
Mama: Mothers, Mothering and Travel explores the multiple
dimensions of motherhood and travel. Through a variety of
compelling creative pieces and critical essays with a global
outlook and wide-ranging historical, cultural, and national
perspectives, Travellin' Mama: Mothers, Mothering and Travel
examines the vital contributions made to travel writing and
representations of travel by mothers. Autoethnographical approaches
inform many of the pieces in this book, illustrating the
significance of the personal and writing the self in re-imagining
our cultural narratives and representations of travel, and the
mothers who undertake it. This book is about mothers who travel,
for mothers who travel with their children, and all those readers
who have travelled in any capacity, with or without family.

Thomas Cook has always been drawn to dark places, for the powerful
emotions they evoke and for what we can learn from them. These
lessons are often unexpected and sometimes profoundly intimate, but
they are never straightforward. With his wife and daughter, Cook
travels across the globe in search of darkness-from Lourdes to
Ghana, from San Francisco to Verdun, from the monumental,
mechanized horror of Auschwitz to the intimate personal grief of a
shrine to dead infants in Kamukura, Japan. Along the way he
reflects on what these sites may teach us, not only about human
history, but about our own personal histories. During the course of
a lifetime of traveling to some of earth's most tragic locals, from
the leper colony on Molokai to ground zero at Hiroshima, he finds
not only darkness, but a light that can illuminate the darkness
within each of us. Written in vivid prose, this is at once a
personal memoir of exploration (both external and internal) and a
strangely heartening look at the radiance and optimism that may be
found at the very heart of darkness.
"Cycling in the Peak District - Off-Road Trails and Quiet Lanes" is
a guidebook for the leisure cyclist, mountain biker and family
rider. It is for the cyclist who values fun, good views and lunch
stops over grimaces, a racing heartbeat and aching legs. It is a
book of enjoyable cycle rides. Eighteen routes, between 9 and 23km
in length, explore the traffic-free lanes and off-road trails of
the Peak District. Taking in quiet roads, dedicated cycleways and
some of the more amenable off-road riding in the area, the routes
explore every corner of the Peak; limestone dales, open moors,
gritstone crags and tiny villages - they're all there. Never too
long, too difficult or too remote, they are great fun and are
challenging for riders of all ages and abilities. The guide also
includes suggestions on where to ride with children and a section
on where to ride along dedicated cycleways away from the traffic.
Written by local riders, the rides are clearly described using
step-by-step instructions and feature original maps, route profiles
and local information.
