In this sparkling follow-up to Travels with my Briefcase, Peter Biddlecombe takes us on another irreverent global tour. Still convinced that the only true modern traveller is the business traveller, Peter Biddlecombe sniffs his nose at the 'gimmick tourists', eschews crossing the Sahara naked on a skateboard and carries on doing what he does best – business, all over the world, with a wonderfully diverse range of characters.

Bryson brings his unique brand of humour to bear on Europe as he shoulders his backpack, keeps a tight hold on his wallet, and journeys from Hammerfest, the northernmost town on the continent, to Istanbul on the cusp of Asia. He retraces his travels as a student twenty years before. Whether braving the homicidal motorists of Paris, being robbed by gypsies in Florence, attempting not to order tripe and eyeballs in a German restaurant or window-shopping in the sex shops of the Reeperbahn, Bryson takes in the sights, dissects the culture and illuminates each place and person with his hilariously caustic observations.

As soon as Bill Bryson was old enough, he left his hometown, but it eventually lured him back. After ten years living in England, he returned to the land of his youth and drove almost 14,000 miles in search of a mythical, perfect small town called Amalgam. Instead of idyllic villages, his journey led him through a series of horrific burgs packed with gas stations, motels, and hamburger outlets, leaving him feeling like a complete foreigner in his own country. A hilariously honest and high-spirited travel classic!

Jeremy Clarkson has seen more of the world than most, and he isn't about to voice his thoughts quietly, humbly, or without great dollops of humour. In The World According to Clarkson, he takes a hilarious, common-sense look at modern life, attacking the pompous, ridiculous, and absurd ideas and institutions we all put up with at home and abroad. From explaining why too much science is bad for our health to celebrating the eccentric and clever, this book offers an uncompromising, laugh-out-loud perspective on the world. Less a manifesto for living and more a road map to modern life, it is a brilliantly funny read.

Richard Feynman (1918–1988), winner of the Nobel Prize in physics, thrived on outrageous adventures. Here he recounts in his inimitable voice his experience trading ideas on atomic physics with Einstein and Bohr and ideas on gambling with Nick the Greek; cracking the uncrackable safes guarding the most deeply held nuclear secrets; accompanying a ballet on his bongo drums; painting a naked female torero—and much else of an eyebrow-raising nature. In short, here is Feynman's life in all its eccentric glory—a combustible mixture of high intelligence, unrelenting curiosity, and raging chutzpah.

All I Really Need To Know is a collection of the author's favorite observations, written over the years, that reveal simple truths about small lives with big meanings. Like the things he learned in the sandpit at Sunday School: share everything; play fair; don’t hit people; put things back where you found them; clean up your own mess; say you’re sorry when you hurt somebody, and so on.
