... interlocking stories of lives changed by conflicts between
invisible power centers in Asia and America; from the end of the
war in Viet Nam to the war on terror.
An entrancing, sun-drenched bicycle journey, from the beaches of
southern Spain to solar temples in the Outer Hebrides. In this
great feast of armchair travel, John Hanson Mitchell tells of his
fifteen-hundred-mile ride on a trusty old Peugeot bicycle from the
port of Cadiz to just below the Arctic Circle. He follows the
European spring up through southern Spain, the wine and oyster
country near Bordeaux, to Versailles (the palace of the "Sun
King"), Wordsworth's Lake District, precipitous Scottish highlands,
and finally to a Druid temple on the island of Lewis in the
Hebrides, a place where Midsummer is celebrated in pagan majesty as
the near-midnight sun dips and then quickly rises over the horizon.
In true John Mitchell fashion this journey is interspersed with
myth, natural history, and ritual, all revolving around the lure
and lore of the sun, culturally and historically. The journey is as
delicious as it is fascinating, with an appeal for all those who
look south in February and are drawn to dunes, picnics under castle
walls, spring flowers, terraced vineyards, Moorish outposts, magic
and celebrations. In short, to everything under the sun. A Merloyd

A captivating journey to uncover the essence of wilderness, by one
of this country's most original nature writers. In The Wildest
Place on Earth Mitchell sets out on a journey to uncover the
essence of wilderness. Instead of traveling to remote, untamed
parts of the world, Mitchell ends up exploring the green realms of
his childhood and the gardens of Italy. He is pulled inward and
toward home, back to what Thoreau called "contact"--an abiding,
enduring, and daily connection with the world. He comes to realize
that the wildest place may be right in his own backyard.A Merloyd
