Even though Nigeria is an English-speaking country, previously a British colony, the unofficial accepted language is Pidgin English and as such, the use and translation of simple English words in Pidgin English differ widely and have meanings that would baffle you!

Story
Growing up near the Sabine, journalist Wes Ferguson, like most East Texans, steered clear of its murky, debris-filled waters, where alligators lived in the backwater sloughs and an occasional body was pulled from some out-of-the-way crossing. The Sabine held a reputation as a haunt for a handful of hunters and loggers, more than a few water moccasins, swarms of mosquitoes, and the occasional black bear lumbering through swamp oak and cypress knees.

It is the early '70s. Two best friends and a toddler (the future rock star Melissa Auf der Maur) set out in a red post office van on a 2,000-mile drive from Hay-on-Wye in Wales to Marrakesh in North Africa. Their meandering journey changes abruptly when they meet two American drug dealers from Amsterdam on a secret intelligence mission, with a plentiful supply of pure black Afghan hash. Amidst the dope smoking world of gangster aristocrats and dislocated hippies, they gaze into the hidden worlds within ancient Venetian glass goulamine beads, and that’s when worlds collide.

Story
In this poetic personal narrative, Thomas P. Huber reflects on two seemingly unrelated places—the North Fork Valley in western Colorado and the Coulon River Valley in Provence, France—and finds a shared landscape and sense of place. What began as a simple comparison of two like places in distant locations turned into a more complex, interesting, and personal task. Much is similar: the light, the valleys, the climate, the agriculture. And much is less so: the history, the geology, the physical makeup of villages.

Story
Most people would regard it as irresponsible madness for a father to take his 17-year-old son, riding old and somewhat worn-out XT500 motorcycles, on a four-month ride across Africa. But Lawrence Bansby did. Lawrence and his son Gareth set off on their old but bulletproof XT500s with a handful of spare parts, very little money, and the three Michelin maps that cover Africa. The plan was to travel north from their home in Natal, South Africa, then west through Zaire, the Central African Republic, Nigeria, Niger, and, finally, across the Sahara through Algeria, but it was not to be.

Story
My name is Rodrigo. I’m from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and I’m a Brazilian Portuguese teacher for foreigners. I've had the opportunity to travel and live outside of Brazil and I know how difficult it is to adapt to a new language and culture. This audiobook aims to make your life easier here in Brazil! I thought about different situations that a tourist may experience here, and I made this mini-dictionary with more than 2,000 words separated into 50 different themes. In this audiobook, you will also find practical examples of how to use these words in your daily life.

Story
As a commercial airline pilot, Mark has spent nearly two decades crossing the skies of our planet, touching down in the cities he imagined as a child. He experiences our metropolises in short layover visits that repeat over weeks, months or even years, giving him a unique perspective on the urbanisation of the world. In this intimate yet expansive work that weaves travelogue with memoir, Mark celebrates the cities he has come to know and love, through the lens of the hometown his heart has never left.
