Through my camera lens, you'll view Cubans captured using their character strengths. I hope you'll laugh along with me, appreciating my fun and foibles, as you hear my strengths stories, too. My half a century quest with zany zest finally fulfilled.

In the best tradition of Paul Theroux and J. Maarten Troost, comes Derek Pugh's torrid tale of Sumbawa, and his ascent of the iconic volcano Mt. Tambora, whose 1815 eruption did indeed change the world.<br /> <br />Pugh's account of the eruption and its aftermath is masterfully done – clearly the product of much dogged research through archives, scientific journals, as well as conversations with Indonesians lasting long into the steamy night.<br /> <br />Himself a long-time resident of the neighboring Indonesian island of Lombok, Pugh is a well-qualified tourist who also brings a wry and rollicking insider's account of local and ex-pat life along the volcanic chain of islands.<br /> <br />The reader meets a wonderfully diverse cast of characters, from pre-schooler jockeys, to an ancient princess alone in her decaying Sultan's palace, to brainless Western surfer dudes and their chicks who have no clue about the history of the slacker's paradise they've stumbled upon.<br /> <br />Pugh does a sterling job of filling that gap in Asian travel writing, as the many-layered dimensions of Sumbawan culture – their strict Islamism, great friendliness, and intermittent traumas, with the colossal Tambora looming across every page – unfold to the reader like layers of volcanic earth from a hidden Pompeii.<br /> <br />Gillen D'Arcy Wood, author of Tambora: The Eruption that Changed the World (Princeton University Press, 2014)

The Arab equivalent of Marco Polo, Sheikh Ibn Battuta (1304-77) set out as a young man on a pilgrimage to Mecca that ended 27 years and 75,000 miles later.The only medieval traveler known to have visited the lands of every Muslim ruler of his time, Ibn Battuta was born into a family of highly respected religious judges and educated as a theologian. Leaving his native city of Tangier in 1326, he traveled &#8212; over the next several years &#8212; to East Africa, Byzantium, Iraq, southern Russia, India, Ceylon, and China. His account of the journey, dictated on his return, not only provides vivid accounts of an odyssey that took him to exotic lands, but also describes in great detail Muslim maritime activities in the Middle and Far East, fascinating elements of foreign architecture, and agricultural activities of diverse cultures.A rare and important work covering the geography and history of the medieval Arab world, this primary sourcebook will be welcomed by students and scholars for its inherent historical value.
