Afrika, een continent van bijna 1,5 miljard mensen, 54 landen en meer dan 2000 talen, wordt regelmatig gereduceerd tot één simpel verhaal. Afrika is geen land dicht de gaten. Al te vaak wordt Afrika voorgesteld als een droog, rood safarilandschap, geteisterd door hongersnood, armoede en conflicten. In dit verrijkende en bij vlagen humoristische boek corrigeert Dipo Faloyin deze beperkte blik en presenteert hij een gelaagd en multidimensionaal beeld van het continent. Hij neemt ons mee naar het zinderende stadsleven in Lagos, schetst de levendige West-Afrikaanse rivaliteit over wie de beste jollofrijst maakt en verhaalt over democratie in zeven dictaturen. Tegelijk laat hij zien hoe willekeurig de landsgrenzen door witte Europese kolonisatoren getrokken werden, legt hij bloot hoe negentig procent van het materiële cultureel erfgoed tijdens het koloniale tijdperk werd gestolen – en hoe moeilijk het tot op de dag van vandaag is om dat terug te krijgen. Afrika is geen land is een intiem en politiek verhaal waarin de alledaagse realiteit van het continent – in al zijn facetten en met al zijn verschillende culturen.

About the author Matt Heason is Founder of Sheffield Adventure Film Festival and organises events for climbers, walkers, cyclists, runners and wild swimmers. A travel writer and photographer, he grew up in rural north Wales and moved to Sheffield in 1996 because it had great climbing. Introduction The Peak District, situated in the heart of England, is renowned for its breathtaking and distinctive scenery. The rolling hills, limestone valleys, woodlands and waterfalls tumbling from high moors and gritstone escarpments differentiate it from the surrounding industrialised and densely populated conurbations, offering a large area of peaceful, often tranquil, countryside which folk can freely visit. The Peak District is a national park, and the majority of visitors pass their time engaging in the popular and easily accessible pursuits of motoring, walking and cycling. This guidebook, however, offers an alternative approach and a more thrilling experience. Wild swimming provides you with the opportunity to form an intimate connection with nature, an escape from the modern world and a chance to embrace the invigorating sensation of immersion in nature’s embrace. This guide caters to both seasoned adventurers and novices eager to experience the wonders of wild swimming. It is a comprehensive description of 28 inspiring walks, each thoughtfully designed to showcase the best of the region’s landscapes and hidden water-based gems. Whether you seek thrilling river swims, waterfall scrambles or tranquil pool retreats, we have carefully handpicked the best locations for wild swimming adventures, often off the beaten track, each combined with enjoyable walks and fascinating historical connections.

Georg Wilhelm Steller hoort thuis in het rijtje natuurhistorische onderzoekers zoals Darwin, von Humboldt en Wallace. Hij was een Duitse geleerde in Russische dienst, die als eerste bioloog in 1741 Alaska bereikte tijdens de Tweede Kamtsjatka-expeditie onder leiding van Bering. Op de terugreis strandde de expeditie op een onbewoond eiland. Tijdens zijn onvrijwillige verblijf aldaar beschreef Steller de flora en fauna die hij op dit eiland aantrof, waaronder de reusachtige zeekoeien. Uiteindelijk bereikten de overlevende zeelieden Kamtsjatka. Voor Steller terug kon keren in Sint-Petersburg stierf hij in het winterse Siberië, belasterd door tegenstanders en gemangeld door de Russische bureaucratie. Geleerden als Pallas en Linnaeus maakten zijn ontdekkingen wereldkundig en streken de eer op voor zijn pionierswerk. Deze uitgave bevat Stellers dagboek van de ontdekkingsreis naar Alaska, fragmenten uit zijn werk over zeezoogdieren, passages uit zijn Beschrijving van Kamtsjatka en Beschrijving van Beringeiland, aangevuld met passages uit brieven en uit de dagboeken die hij bijhield in Siberië.
