University of Alberta Press CROATIA Travels in Undiscovered Country Wayfarer
Book SynopsisThe "extraordinary regionality" of Croatia is drawn through thoughtful portraits during a time of great transition. OR Written with sensitivity and balance, Fabijancicâs literate travel writing takes us to the heart of a fascinating land.Trade Review"While only partially representing the Croatian way of life, which these days is increasingly urbanized and computerized, these personal (but never biased) essays fully encapsulate the country's essence. Fabijancic gets extra credit for not letting the much-written-about politics interfere and ruin the narrative's delicate flow." Mirela Roncevic, Library Journal"...join Tony Fabijancic as he returns to his homeland in Croatia: Travels in Undiscovered Country, exploring the quiet hidden corners and the complex history of this beautiful place." Wanderlust"The book gives a fascinating insight into not only the countryside, as you would expect from a book about travel, but also into the people and their attitudes on a whole range of subjects." M2 Best Books"Filled with the colours and 'feels' of Croatia, inhabited by faces commonly unseen, and accompanied by insightful reflections and comments, Croatia: Travels in Undiscovered Country is an informative and engaging book, and a highly gratifying guide into Croatia's 'back-roads', diverse natural beauties, and vanishing complex cultures." Gordana P. Crnkovic (University of Washington), Slavic & East European Journal, 48.2, Summer 2004"Throughout his travels, he seeks answers to the question, 'what makes a Canadian-born son of immigrants look back across the ocean for a place to belong?' Black-and-white photos capture the traditional ways of the Croatians, as well as the beauty and grandeur of the country. In this inspiring book, Fabijancic has admirably met his objective of "emphasizing facts of a different order: the evanescent moment on the road that captured the spirit of the old world still in evidence; the hidden or forgotten crevices; the personal instead of the public; and the present still permeated by a vital past." Norman P. Goldman, Canadian Book Review Annual, 2004

Book SynopsisA comprehensive and contemporary view of Chicago, the quintessential American city, that documents its transformation into a postindustrial, global city.Trade Review"I don't know of any single work on another American city that undertakes quite the mission of this work in scope. If I were seeking a single volume that summed up life in a place, this might well be the best of them. For Chicago, there are a number of books that have similar tasks, but none approach the subject so fully." James Lewis, Roosevelt University "Of particular interest to planners are the essays on the city's physical change; sociologist Larry Bennett's careful analysis of the Metropolis 2002 plan; and sociologist Robert Garner's conclusion." Planning magazine "These 26 richly rewarding interdisciplinary essays with a strong sociological focus analyze the social, political, demographic, economic, and cultural changes in the world community since the early 1970s...this book will reward discerning readers."

Hackett Publishing Co, Inc Travel Writings
Book Synopsis"The travel writings of Matsuo Bashō are of enormous literary importance, and so it is a joy to see them collected in this compact volume, in translations of exemplary elegance, faithfulness, and accessibility. The annotations are especially valuable: they show a solid grasp of the author’s life, work, and times, and provide rich and detailed background information about allusions to Chinese and Japanese classics. Along with the high quality of the translations themselves, this thorough commentary makes the book a significant scholarly resource and will help readers appreciate the density and delicacy of Bashō’s writing. A very welcome addition to the English-language literature on one of the central poets of the Japanese tradition." —David B. Lurie, Columbia UniversityTrade Review"Destined to delight readers with its vibrant, spot-on translations, this definitive collection of haiku grandmaster Bashō’s travel writings, in prose as well as poetry, conveys the exquisite pleasures and heartbreaks of the road as a metaphor for life itself." —Adam L. Kern, University of Wisconsin–Madison"Steven Carter is an outstanding scholar and translator, and his work here is superb. The six poetic travel diaries that he includes range from Bashō’s most beloved works to several lesser-known gems. With its copious and insightful annotations, introductions, maps, and appendices, all of which are informed by the best and latest Japanese scholarship, Travel Writings will long be the go-to source in English for Bashō’s lyrical travel ruminations. The work is sure to appeal to poets, students, and scholars alike, many of whom may be inspired to set out, with book in hand, to retrace the steps of the great seventeenth-century haikai master through the hinterlands of Japan." —R.

University of Alberta Press A Canterbury Pilgrimage / An Italian Pilgrimage
Book SynopsisA peasant in peaked hat and blue shirt, with trousers rolled up high above his bare knees, crossed the road and silently examined the tricycle. “You have a good horse,” he then said; “it eats nothing.” —from An Italian Pilgrimage The 1880s was an exhilarating time for cycling pioneers like Elizabeth and her husband Joseph. As boneshakers and high-wheelers evolved into tandem tricycles and the safety bike, cycling grew from child’s play and extreme sport into a leisurely and, importantly, literary mode of transportation. The illustrated travel memoirs of “those Pennells” were—and still are—highly entertaining. They helped usher in the new age of leisure touring, while playfully hearkening back to famous literary journeys. In this new edition, Dave Buchanan provides rich cultural contexts surrounding the Pennells’ first two adventures. These long out-of-print travel memoirs will delight avid cyclists as well as scholars of travel literature, cycling history, women’s writing, Victorian literature, and illustration.Trade Review"In the airy, self deprecating style of Robert Louis Stevenson, an American couple captured the imaginations of UK and US readers through the five illustrated cycle-travel books they created beginning in the 1880s. Yes, bikes existed back then—they were all the rage, in fact—and Elizabeth and Joseph Pennell succeeded in bringing the leisure touring idea to the forefront through their jaunts aboard a tandem tricycle outfitted with luggage racks.... Cycling historian Dave Buchanan contributes an enlightening introduction which grounds the couple in the literary/art world of the late nineteenth century and gives a gearhead sense of bicycling history. But Elizabeth’s delightful prose steals the show..." * Foreword Magazine *"Cycling historian Dave Buchanan contributes an enlightening introduction which grounds the couple in the literary/art world of the late nineteenth century and gives a geared sense of bicycling history." -- Matt Sutherland * Foreword Reviews *"[T]he books and articles penned by the Pennells rise to the level of literature. Elizabeth did most of the writing, while Joseph, a lithographer, contributed detailed illustrations of their wanderings." -- Duncan Jamieson * AETHLON: The Journal of Sport Literature *"A Canterbury Pilgrimage/An Italian Pilgrimage is a beautifully illustrated quick read that gives the reader a wonderful sense of how cycling used to be. I was particularly interested in their description of cycling from Florence through Tuscany via Siena as I’ve pedaled these hills myself. Moreover, Dave Buchanan’s extensive (57-page) introduction puts the Pennells’ cycling stories into the perspective of the time. If you are looking for a diversion, this is a great little book that is both interesting and beautiful."
