Guidebook on Scandinavians most spectacular mountain region with maps, photos and description of various walks, scrambles climbs and ski tours.

This book is the story of James Baxter's 2700 kilometre ski up the entire length of Norway, followed by his 3100 kilometre kayak down the whole of Norway's coast. This eight month journey took him through Europe's most pristine natural wonders; the empty snow-covered spine of Scandinavia's mountain chain, the Arctic taiga forests and tundra, the busy seabird colonies in the Barents Sea, the daunting seas of the Arctic Ocean and the magnificent fjords of the Atlantic coast were just some of the wonders encountered. Through the four seasons of this breathtaking land, James unfolds his story as he slowly passes through it, solely under his own steam. Sheltering during storms and journeying through abundant good weather, he is immersed into the ebb and flow of nature as if on a pilgrimage. Yet there are many encounters with the personalities of the rich rural cultures and communities scattered across this wilderness. The book is intended to be both a narrative and a guide. The entire 6200 kilometres of the outdoor expedition has been split into 35 sections.Each section is around 200 kilometres, or a week's duration, and many are a very good ski or kayak in their own right; such as Hardangervidda, Jotunheimen or Kungsleden on skis or Nordkapp, Vestfjorden or Helgelandskysten in a kayak. The chapters are not only to inspire a journey, but are also valuable to help plan it, as there is much information about local conditions, natural features and logistics for each section to be gleaned from the story itself. This book is a must for any outdoor enthusiast planning a visit to Scandinavia. The book is not only an account of James' entire expedition but also delves into a wide spectrum of observations about rural communities, local economies, farming and even regional politics, and of course the continual commentary about the extraordinary natural features, geology, fauna and flora which surprised and delighted him at every corner. The book is richly illustrated with over 800 colour photographs throughout to illuminate the text.

Why You Should Read This Book
If you have ever been interested in the fascinating and revealing world of emotions, superstitions or body language, then this book is for you. Craig James Baxter (author of two previous Amazon best-selling books on body language) has developed this useful, practical guide which will help you develop and improve your knowledge of human behaviour across three key topics:
Emotions - Learn what an emotion is and how to detect them, how they work and how they can vary. Also, discover how emotions can be manipulated and why. Reveal more about the dark side of the emotion of happiness and learn how the emotion of fear helps the body react instantaneously to perceived threats.
Superstitions - Learn more about how human behaviour can be heavily influenced by the power of the unknown, and uncover the often unexpected sources of some common superstitious sayings. Reveal the surprising role that both old and modern day superstitious beliefs play in everyday life and how these can affect people's emotions. Discover how superstitions have infiltrated many areas of life, from the world of sport to restaurant dining, and how amulets, charms and stones are believed to have certain abilities to either attract good fortune or repel evil spirits or misfortune.
Body language - Learn how you can adapt your own body language to portray confidence to bring about success in your personal and work life. Reveal how to potentially spot a liar and also uncover the surprising origins of some body language gestures. Discover how timing and synchronisation are crucial elements when analysing if a person's actions match their words, and learn how five key terms can improve your understanding of the basics of successful body language reading.

Friends or foes? Do you want to miss out on a good business opportunity? And what if it was the love of your life? Do you wish to know where their true intentions may really be hidden? They may not be telling you everything...
The cognitive science is clear: non-verbal communication weighs considerably on our relationships. It often represents more than 90% of our exchanges.
The MAJORITY of our communication is UNCONSCIOUS, INVOLUNTARY and UNAVOIDABLE
A person's demeanor, gestures, and voice can tell you a lot about them, provided that you know how to decrypt the signs.
After How to Detect Lies, Eric Goulard presents new keys to help decode the behavior of others in business situations and in private life.
Because actions speak louder than words, it is necessary to listen beyond just what the person wants to say. The analysis of all non-verbal communication will help you keep one step ahead of others. You will then be able to anticipate people's reactions and optimize your communication.

Samuel Beckett's Legacies in American Fiction provides an overdue investigation into Beckett's rich influences over American writing. Through in-depth readings of postmodern authors such as Robert Coover, Donald Barthelme, Thomas Pynchon, Don DeLillo, Paul Auster and Lydia Davis, this book situates Beckett's post-war writing of exhaustion and generation in relation to the emergence of an explosive American avant-garde. In turn, this study provides a valuable insight into the practical realities of Beckett's dissemination in America, following the author's long-standing relationship with the countercultural magazine Evergreen Review and its dramatic role in redrawing the possibilities of American culture in the 1960s. While Beckett would be largely removed from his American context, this book follows his vigorous, albeit sometimes awkward, reception alongside the authors and institutions central to shaping his legacies in 20th and 21st century America.
