Europe in a Motorhome: A Mid-Life Gap Year Around Southern Europe
by H.D. Jackson
http://www.geocities.com/h.hdj@btinternet.com/

Bored with the daily grind and keen to escape the rat-race, Hazel and Simon Jackson did what so many dream of - they sold their house and possessions, bought a motor home, took their thirteen year old son out of school and travelled Europe. They left winter behind and for the next year they barbecued on beaches, skied on mountains, swam in warm seas and danced at fiestas.
Encountering everything from Spanish hospitals, and the Guardia Civil when they were robbed in Spain - to being ripped off in Rome, propositioned in Sicily, dazzled in Dubrovnik, and almost drowned in Slovenia... they wild-camped their way through southern Europe, in a motor home affectionately known as The Beast.
They slept, ate and lived in a different place almost every day, meeting locals off the beaten track, making new, lasting friendships... and shared it all with their teenage son Jack.
If you enjoy travel and need to be re-assured that you aren't the only ones who break-down, get lost, or stuck in impossible situations, then this is the book for you. Join them as they travel for a year through Europe, from the luxury of your arm-chair.
Brimming with useful tips and historical information, this is a book full of humour, catastrophes and everything else that comes with life on the road.
It is a dream come true.

The Ultimate Desert Handbook
 by Mark Johnson   ISBN: 007139303X
 www.ultimatedeserthandbook.com

The first complete book on desert hiking, exploration, and travel, this in-depth guide presents the deserts of the world not as an alien environment to be overcome or endured, but as a fascinating opportunity for anyone eager to enjoy a different kind of out-door experience.  Assuming no prior desert know-how, this guide is intended for hikers, campers, backpackers, RV and 4WD vehicle travellers, and the wide range of other enthusiasts pursuing their chosen activities into the desert: mountain bikers, pilots, rock climbers, birding enthusiasts, rock and fossil hunters, and wildlife and landscape photographers. Even day hikers and occasional visitors to desert destinations will find the book easy to understand and extremely useful.
The Ultimate Desert Handbook includes comprehensive descriptions of deserts worldwide, a survey of their history, plants, and wildlife; expert advice on desert hiking, camping, equipment, photography, desert hazards and survival, treating water from desert sources, and vehicle travel in all types of desert terrain; also included is the most thorough section on desert navigation ever published - from using the sun and stars to map, compass, and the Global Positioning System - and easy-to-follow advice on everything from selecting a campsite to first aid, signalling, and rescue. * A Ragged Mountain Press Outdoors Paperback * 5½ × 8½ * 291pp * 80 photos and illustrations

Keyham Books
www.keyhambooks.co.uk
Keyham Books is the trading name of  David Berry, author, freelance writer and book publisher.  The small publishing house of Keyham Books grew from a publishing frustration. With two books produced by Osprey and Robert Hale ('Tales from the Crewroom' and 'The Motorcaravan Handbook'), He tried to interest many publishers in 'The Whispering Giant in Uniform', the story of the Bristol Britannia aircraft in Royal Air Force service. 'Good book - but too small a market,' was the cry.  So a bit of DIY was called for! With the help of the right software, a scanner, a removable hard disk and a helpful printing company, 1000 copies were produced - and they sold! Buoyed on by this, 'RV in UK' was next, followed by 'Specialist Aircrew' - and the latest is 'The Recreational Nomad'.  Details of all these are available on the his website.
