The Sea and the Hills Elegantly written and suffused with optimism... --Blueink Review, Colorado, USA The Sea and the Hills: The Life of Hussain Najadi, is more than just a memoir of a man with a talent for high fi nance. It is, as the cover notes, a story of oil, politics and justice, and it is the latter that makes the book a good and worthwhile read. -- Mark G. McLaughlin, Clarion Review, USA Ultimately vindicated, the author (Hussain Najadi) reflects upon the ways that fate, determination and the support of loved ones infl uenced his life. He later defi nes success from a signifi cantly altered perspective as he continues to pursue the original quest of building bridges among nations, cultures, and civilisations in order to create a more equitable world in which everyone is able to share the fruits of our global resources. --Kirkus Indie, Texas, USA As a friend for more than 30 years, from the day I met him in Kuala Lumpur, Im extremely pleased that Hussain has told his story. It is fascinating in itself, but it is also worth reading for the lessons it contains. The most obvious is that intellectual curiosity, combined with an open mind and relentless drive, can go a long way towards compensating for the lack of formal education. Readers will fi nd others as well. --Barry Wain, Singapore, Author, former Managing Editor, Wall Street Journal Asia. ...its a fi ne piece of literature, a master piece I should say, true life experience of the up & down, the different culture across the many continents brought down generation after generation, the vision of the past live the present culture, oppression, colonialism, powerful sheikh, fair play, the power that be of the day say it all, it is a very motivational piece of literature to read. -- Albert Cheong ys - Malaysia A brilliant and inspirational story from a charismatic fi gure! A fascinating story not only from a historical point of view, the rise of the Arab and Asian world, but touching from a human perspective, the story of a man who is never defeated and goes ahead despite of the adversities of his personal and his countrys history...this autobiography is a masterpiece, its characters are beautifully portrayed, the story is superbly told ... --Elena of Italy (also shown on Amazons review page) Hussain Najadi is no stranger to hardships, and his autobiography, The Sea and the Hills, showcases his extraordinary life. From being ejected from his home country Bahrain for plotting against British colonial rule, to his golden triangle- Western technology, management, and know-how, Asian natural resources, and Arab capital- he has had successes and triumphs at every turn. The book tells the story of his rapid rise to success and his reign as the leader in wholesale and corporate banking in Southeast Asia. Matthew Bryant, Bohlsen Group, Indiana, USA

Between the Hills and the Sea by Katya and Bert Gilden vividly portrays the disillusionment of working-class idealists in the late 1940s and early 1950s. Originally published in 1971, the book is an absorbing novel. It also provides an authentic portrait of the social dynamics in a factory town and the effects of McCarthyism on working people's lives.

Excerpt from Hills and the Sea There were once two men. They were men of might and breeding. They were young, they were intolerant, they were hale. Were there for humans as there is for dogs a tribunal to determine excellence; were there judges of anthropoidal points and juries to give prizes for manly race, vigour, and the rest, undoubtedly these two men would have gained the gold and the pewter medals. They were men absolute. They loved each other like brothers, yet they quarrelled like Socialists. They loved each other because they had in common the bond of mankind; they quarrelled because they differed upon nearly all other things. The one was of the Faith, the other most certainly was not. The one sang loudly, the other sweetly. The one was stronger, the other more cunning. The one rode horses with a long stirrup, the other with a short. The one was indifferent to danger, the other forced himself at it. The one could write verse, the other was quite incapable thereof.

"When Lillian Beckwith advertised for a secluded place in the country, she received a letter with the following unusual description of an isolated Hebridean croft: 'Surely it's that quiet even the sheeps themselves on the hills is lonely and as to the sea it's that near as I use it myself everyday for the refusals...' Her curiosity aroused, Beckwith took up the invitation. This is the comic and enchanting story of the strange rest cure that followed and her efforts to adapt to a completely different way of life."--Back cover.

Hot on the success of Wilderness Weekends, one of the top selling guides in 2015, award-winning travel writer Phoebe Smith returns with more great outdoor experiences tailored not just for the hard-core wilderness enthusiast but for novices and newbie hillwalkers alike. Take a friend, or take the kids - or both! - and climb one of Phoebe's favourite hills. There are 60 of them detailed in this easy-to-follow guide which champions a new easy-access approach to hillwalking. With 20 hills each in England, Wales and Scotland, from just 120 metres to a manageable 609 metres, and from Cornwall to the Scottish Highlands, there's bound to be a hill for you. 'When it comes to mountains society seems to be obsessed with height' says Phoebe Smith. 'But those who shun peaks based on measurement are truly missing out. Following on from the success of Wilderness Weekends, people are always asking me where they can take a friend, partner or young child that will help convince them that the outdoors - and hills - are worth the effort. Answering that need is this book, it's all about minimum effort for maximum results.' Each walk also includes tips on safety, kit, weather, walking responsibly, maps, tackling hills sensibly, and taking children, friends and reluctant walkers.

Keita Ali is on the run. Like every boy on the mountainous island of Zantoroland, running is all Keita’s ever wanted to do. In one of the poorest nations in the world, running means respect. Running means riches—until Keita is targeted for his father’s outspoken political views and discovers he must run for his family’s survival. He signs on with notorious marathon agent Anton Hamm, but when Keita fails to place among the top finishers in his first race, he escapes into Freedom State—a wealthy island nation that has elected a government bent on deporting the refugees living within its borders in the community of AfricTown. Keita can stay safe only if he keeps moving and eludes Hamm and the officials who would deport him to his own country, where he would face almost certain death. This is the new underground: a place where tens of thousands of people deemed to be “illegal” live below the radar of the police and government officials. As Keita surfaces from time to time to earn cash prizes by running local road races, he has to assess whether the people he meets are friends or enemies: John Falconer, a gifted student struggling to escape the limits of his AfricTown upbringing; Ivernia Beech, a spirited old woman at risk of being forced into an assisted living facility; Rocco Calder, a recreational marathoner and the immigration minister; Lula DiStefano, self-declared queen of AfricTown and madam of the community’s infamous brothel; and Viola Hill, a reporter who is investigating the lengths to which her government will go to stop illegal immigration. Keita’s very existence in Freedom State is illegal. As he trains in secret, eluding capture, the stakes keep getting higher. Soon, he is running not only for his life, but for his sister’s life, too. Fast moving and compelling, The Illegal casts a satirical eye on people who have turned their backs on undocumented refugees struggling to survive in a nation that does not want them. Hill’s depiction of life on the borderlands of society urges us to consider the plight of the unseen and the forgotten who live among us.

For four months and five hundred miles Colin Thubron walked the mountains of Lebanon, following tracks and rivers. His journey was not only a survey of a remarkable country, but a quest for the gods and divinities who held the secrets of death and rebirth in the land's ancient cults. He visited almost every place of cultural importance, and lived with the people along his way, recording a country of outstanding natural scenery, rich with a unique medley of races and religions. The Hills of Adonis is both a travel book and a personal journal; for the quest is the search for meaning, a reflection on faith and reason and a poem on the joy and complexity of living.
