.Around the World Single-Handed: The Cruise of the "Islander" City Travel Guides > Books > Solo Travel by: Harry Pidgeon March 01, 1989 While Harry Pidgeon's feat of sailing around the world is exceptional, and his writing style clear and concise, he offers few insights into sailing or his life. The book is fashioned after Joshua Slocum's "Sailing Alone Around The World:" Or equally as likely, Pidgeon and Slocum were two men of a like mind. In any event, both men portray that 19th century reserve so characteristic of the Englishmen. Such reserve in the face of near scrapes with death maybe admirable, but it does not make for as interesting reading. >>See More Reviews & Details on Around the World Single-Handed: The Cruise of the "Islander" |

.Trouble Lights City Travel Guides > Books > Solo Travel by: William Olsen January 23, 2002 William Olsen has written yet another wonderful book of poems. He has a madman's eye for beauty, and he has discovered in this seemingly troubled world all kinds of treasures to refute the prophets of despair and defeat that write most of the modern poetry of today. Olsen's high humor lurks just below the surface and between the lines. You can't see it in the poems, but you can see it on the face of anyone you hand the book to and say, "here, read this one." He is a mind on a treasure hunt, a brain that serves as a butterfly net as he lives his life saving absolutely EVERYTHING GOOD for you and for me. I have bought two extra copies already for friends. They say what I say. You can read these for a fifth and sixth time and they ... Read More: >>See More Reviews & Details on Trouble Lights |

.Cruising Solo: A Guide to Adventure on the High Seas City Travel Guides > Books > Solo Travel by: Sally J. Maisel 1993-09 I found this book to be very informative and enjoyed the author's style of writing. However, this book was published in 1993 and the second half, which discusses specific cruise lines and cruise ships, needs to be updated due to the fact that approximately half the cruise lines mentioned are no longer in existence. New edition, anyone? >>See More Reviews & Details on Cruising Solo: A Guide to Adventure on the High Seas |
