Speaking of Trains is a selection of stories centred on train travel. The book also includes snippets of history and little-known facts about the places visited. In addition to that, a subtle theme of humour and self-deprecation runs through the book. Jim Nicholls entertains his readers with his observations of everyday life in far off places. The following is from one of his train journeys - this one through India: Night falls quickly. Beyond my window, in the gloom, I see a group of men - their backs to us -squatting along a parallel length of railway track, not unlike crows on a fence. It takes a little while to realise what they were doing. Attending to their evening ablutions before going to bed, this mob is lined up in a row, enjoying a communal crap! Other stories include battling a typhoon in Vietnam, taking the Pride of Africa across southern Africa, riding a train to Tibet, and a wintery trip to Hudson Bay in Canada. None of your average, glowing descriptions her, this book tells it like it is and should entertain anyone interested in travelling to distant places. Buy a ticket, book a seat and come aboard.

Not only was A E Filby a famous British explorer, but he was also my Uncle Archie. He died before I was born, but his unpublished manuscript, 'Horizon Fever', and many scrapbooks, survived. Proclaimed "the World's most travelled motorist", A E Filby undertook some breathtaking expeditions, including his 37,000 mile journey from London to Cape Town and back in a series of dilapidated motorcars.<BR>'Horizon Fever' is an honest, colourful, often shocking account; a snapshot of bygone days and attitudes. It tells of missionaries, pygmies, big-game hunting, gold-mining, crossing the Sahara and swimming in the Nile with crocodiles. One of Archie's companions was a monkey called Congo. Another was a dog that adopted him, until it was killed and dragged up a tree by a leopard. Archie himself comes across as a courageous, feisty, quick-tempered, bossy little man, but full of fun, generous and never one to bear a grudge.<BR>Thanks to Archie's records and photographs, we have a unique glimpse of an astonishing feat of endurance, 80 years after it was completed. --Victoria Twead

Throughout the twentieth century, Nigerians have been writing about their travels within Nigeria using a variety of media and forms, from serialised newspaper travelogues to personal diaries, autobiographies and online narratives. These works offer important insights into how Nigerians have represented Nigeria to itself and to the world.This is the first book to examine the production of Nigerian travel narratives about Nigeria in the century from colonisation to independence. Rebecca Jones argues that we can read these texts both as the products of a local Nigerian print culture, and through their articulations with global travel writing traditions. Focusing on travel writing published from 1914 to 2014 in the Yoruba-speaking region of southwestern Nigeria, home to a well-established and prolific writing and print culture in both Yoruba and English, this cultural history of Nigerian travel comprises close readings of these works, and argues that the production of travel writing in the region can be read not simply as a foreign import, but as a cluster of genres with a cohesive local history.Writers discussed include Samuel Ajayi Crowther, I.B. Thomas, E.A. Akintan, Isaac Delano, D.O. Fagunwa, Amos Tutuola, Ben Okri, Babatunde Shadeko, Damilola Ajenifuja, Chibuzor Mirian Azubuike, Pelu Awofeso, Lape Soetan, Teju Cole, Adewale Maja-Pearce, Noo Saro-Wiwa, and the Invisible Borders collective.Rebecca Jones is a Lecturer in the Department of African Studies and Anthropology at the University of Birmingham.

We had the most rewarding experience when we were at Konde Farm. It was a delight to examine hundreds of patients and care for them. We thank God for giving us the opportunity and privilege to serve them. They not only got medicines for their ailments but also received counseling for many issues including eternal life. We pray that God's name be glorified in all that goes on in Konde Farm. Dr. Kunjappan John and Dr. Vimala Kunjappan Founders of IMA (India Missions Assistance) I will never forget my 9 trips to Konde; it changed me more than it did them. Most impressive were the children! They were always so friendly, curious and eager to learn. Because so many have come to faith in Christ through the outreach of Samuel, his family and team, the character of the entire village and perhaps the entire Freetown area may be changed from darkness to light! Kent McGahey, Chaplain, Anderson, SC Detention Center I first met brother Larry Reeves in 2002 during my visit to Anderson, SC. Larry and his family love the Lord and are true servants of the Lord in words and deeds. He is a servant leader who loves to pray specific prayers. I have seen many times wherein difficult situations he prayed by faith specifically and God answered his prayers. Since his first trip to Konde Farm, the village that was once in darkness has seen a great light and it is spreading to other towns and villages in Sierra Leone. S.David Menyongar, Director International Missionary Center Konde Farm, Sierra Leone

Mungo Park was the original lone explorer of West Africa. The first European to reach the Niger, record its flow direction and return alive, he was considered a hero on his return. He died during his second exploration attempt inland along the Niger to discover the city of Timbuktu. Published posthumously in 1815 by the African Institution, which had sponsored his journey, a biography, personal letters and the account of the rescue team sent to discover his fate accompany Park's own journal of the expedition. The journals and letters are a fascinating description of the constant dangers and thrill of the age of exploration. Battling adverse weather, local hostility, tropical diseases and the death of nearly all his party including his brother-in-law, Park writes 'I would still persevere; and if I could not succeed in the object of my journey, I would at least die on the Niger.'
