Yet for all that familiarity, what do we really know about them? An Inconvenience of Penguins follows award-winning travel writer Jamie Lafferty as he visits all eighteen species in a bid to understand the birds and their extraordinarily varied habitats a little better. On voyages to some of the planet s most inaccessible and challenging landscapes, he recounts the history of our unique relationship with the world s most popular bird, telling not only the stories of the penguins, but also the people and places around them.From getting stranded in the Galapagos and marching through African guano fields to leading photography groups in the Antarctic and taking psychedelics on the Falklands, this is a birding quest like no other. Along the way, Lafferty relives the experiences of early polar explorers, for whom penguins were perplexing mysteries, welcome companions and even occasional meals, and meets the modern penguin lovers trying to save their fragile environments.Featuring cameos from a wide cast of characters including Ernest Shackleton, Charles Darwin and Sir Francis Drake, as well as beautiful photographs of each penguin species, An Inconvenience of Penguins is part love-letter to and part biography of these remarkable creatures.

Jamie Fraser and Claire Randall were torn apart by the Jacobite Rising in 1743, and it took them twenty years to find each other again. Now the American Revolution threatens to do the same. It is 1779 and Claire and Jamie are at last reunited with their daughter, Brianna, her husband, Roger, and their children on Fraser’s Ridge. Having the family together is a dream the Frasers had thought impossible. Yet even in the North Carolina backcountry, the effects of war are being felt. Tensions in the Colonies are great and local feelings run hot enough to boil Hell’s tea-kettle. Jamie knows loyalties among his tenants are split and it won’t be long until the war is on his doorstep. Brianna and Roger have their own worry: that the dangers that provoked their escape from the twentieth century might catch up to them. Sometimes they question whether risking the perils of the 1700s—among them disease, starvation, and an impending war—was indeed the safer choice for their family. Not so far away, young William Ransom is still coming to terms with the discovery of his true father’s identity—and thus his own—and Lord John Grey has reconciliations to make, and dangers to meet . . . on his son’s behalf, and his own. Meanwhile, the Revolutionary War creeps ever closer to Fraser’s Ridge. And with the family finally together, Jamie and Claire have more at stake than ever before.

Discover one man’s journey to cold water swimming, and the triumph of the human spirit in the face of adversity.At the age of 41, Rich Waters received a diagnosis that sent shockwaves through his world: early-onset Parkinson s disease. But fate had more in store for him; shortly after this revelation, he learned that his young daughter, too, was grappling with a degenerative condition.Life, once familiar and predictable, had been upended, and Rich was forced to confront the fragility of existence in a way he had never imagined. Yet, it was in this moment of crisis that he discovered an unyielding resolve to find purpose and meaning. But Rich chose to defy the limitations of his diagnosis. Determined to make every second count, he began a courageous journey that would lead him to the unlikeliest of places: the icy, unforgiving waters of the Isle of Skye.Cold water swimming became his lifeline—a radical source of fulfilment and a wellspring of resilience. Plunging into the frigid depths, Rich found a deep connection with the natural world. The sensation of icy waters on his skin mirrored the challenges he faced in his life, and each swim was a testament to his indomitable spirit.Guided by Matt Rhodes, The Viking of Skye, Rich discovered that the biting cold, the relentless waves, and the untamed currents were more than just physical challenges: they were a metaphor for the unpredictability of life itself.

It is a story of one man s battle against the relentless march of disease, a father s unwavering commitment to his daughter, and a testament to the healing power of nature.This touching memoir covers: Chapter one: The benefits and science behind cold water immersionChapter two: Glenbrittle Beach – finding for your inner VikingChapter three: The Climb to Coire Lagan – reconnecting with YourselfChapter four: The Healing Pools – if you don’t learn to like yourself no one else willChapter five: The Marble Pool Echo Chamber – how to stop repeating the pastChapter six: Kilt Falls – building resilienceChapter seven: Torrin Pools – stepping out of your comfort zoneChapter eight: Sea cave of Flodigarry – facing your fearChapter nine: Sligachan River – wake up! you’ll be dead soonThrough the pages of this moving memoir, you will find inspiration to confront your own challenges, a renewed appreciation for the beauty of the natural world, and a profound belief in the resilience of the human heart and the transformative power of courage, love and the unyielding spirit that resides within us all.
