Author has succeeded in holding the attention of the readers in Adventures of Jamie Heslop as he takes them on a journey of this sea adventure. The book has turned out to be compelling reading as it is strewn with interesting events beautifully woven. The social injustice caused to part of the human race – Black people – is dealt with in detail. The protagonist’s, Jamie Heslop’s, evolution from a young, loving boy to a potential leader through his audacity has been well narrated. He sympathises with the people suppressed in the society and rebels against the injustice and helps them live a peaceful life. His character is etched on the reader’s mind for his bravery and the way he handles the obstacles encountered on his sea journey. Kate, the female protagonist, has been created as a woman with a perspective. Her love for Jamie Heslop and compassion for the children suffering in the workhouse make her go on this risky journey with him. Her struggle between her love for Heslop and her longing for having a peaceful family in her village is well narrated. That she then chooses to sacrifice her love for the good of all shows her maturity. The intellectual plans conceived by Heslop to fight both the pirates and his uncle are so interesting that the reader cannot put down the book until he finishes it at one go. Their journey to the paradise island and their attempt at establishing a new society on their own with the meagre resources available there are adventurous. The book is a good read.

In 2006 “outdoor philosopher” Kate Rawles cycled 4553 miles from Texas to Alaska, following the spine of the Rocky Mountains as closely as possible. Cycling across unforgiving but starkly beautiful landscapes in both the United States and Canada – deserts, high mountain passes, glaciers and eventually down to the sea – she encountered bears, wolves, moose, cliff-swallows, aspens and a single, astonishing lynx. Along the way, she talked to North Americans about climate change – from truck drivers to politicians – to find out what they knew about it, whether they cared, and if they did, what they thought they could do. Kate tells the story of a trip in which she has to deal with the rigours of cycling for ten hours a day in temperatures often in excess of 100° F, fighting punctures, endless repairs and inescapable, grinding fatigue. But in recounting the physical struggle of such a journey, she also does constant battle with her own ideas and assumptions, helping us to cross the great divide between where we are on climate change and where we need to be. Can we tackle climate change while still keeping our modern Western lifestyles intact? Should we put biofuel in our camper vans and RVs? Or do we need much deeper shifts in lifestyles, values and worldviews?
