Exploring travellers' tales of wonder in contemporary literature, this study challenges a sensibility of disenchantment with travel. It reassesses travel writing as an aesthetically and ethically innovative form in contemporary international literature, and demonstrates the crucial role of wonder in the travel narratives of writers such as Bruce Chatwin, V.S. Naipaul, and W.G. Sebald. Their 'travellers' tales of wonder' are read as a challenge to the hubris of thinking the world too well known, and an invitation to encounter the world - including its most troubling histories - with a sense of wonder.

WONDER NO MORE—GET ALL THE FACTS ON DC COMICS’ FOREMOST SUPER HEROINE! She’s as beautiful as Aphrodite and as wise as Athena, stronger then Hercules and swifter than Hermes. Blessed at birth by the gods themselves, Princess Diana left an idyllic island paradise ruled by wise and brave women to bring the peace, love, and nobility of the Amazons to the tumultuous world of humankind. In January 1942, Wonder Woman took the world of comics—and its pantheon of superpowered males—by storm. Wielding her impervious silver bracelets and golden Lasso of Truth, she’s battled forces of evil from the Axis powers to a slew of super-villains worldwide, teamed up with the likes of Superman, Batman, Green Lantern, and the Flash, and become a high-flying feminist icon and pop-culture superstar. Now, for the first time in more than thirty years, here’s a definitive A-to-Z volume that draws together all the knowledge about the star-spangled, action-packed history of Wonder Woman. In more than 400 fact-packed pages you’ll find • the complete story of Wonder Woman’s origins, as imagined and reinterpreted by generations of comics writers—including her groundbreaking creator, William Moulton Marston • biographies of every major character in Wonder Woman’s universe, including her mother, Hippolyta; sister, Donna Troy; and mortal ally Steve Trevor—as well as such classic foes as Ares, Cheetah, Hades, and the members of Villainy Inc. • classic black-and-white comic book artwork throughout • two sixteen-page full-color artwork inserts—plus a dazzling original cover illustration by fan-favorite artist Adam Hughes Written by veteran Wonder Woman artist and writer Phil Jimenez and comics historian John Wells, The Essential Wonder Woman Encyclopedia is the ultimate archive, proving that die-hard devotees of the gorgeous go-to goddess don’t have to visit Paradise Island for a taste of heaven on earth.

“In this delightful autobiography, Smith tells us how he became the dean of world religion experts. Along the way we meet the people who shaped him and shared his journey—a Who’s Who of 20th century spiritual America: the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., the Dalai Lama, Aldous Huxley, Timothy Leary, T.S. Eliot, Thomas Merton and Pete Seeger.... A valuable master class on faith and life.” — San Francisco Chronicle Book Review As Stephen Hawking is to science; as Peter Drucker is to economics; and as Joseph Campbell is to mythology; so Huston Smith is to religion. Tales of Wonder is the personal story of the author of the classic The World’s Religions, the man who taught a nation about the great faiths of the world, and his fascinating encounters with the people who helped shape the 20th century.

Presenting The Essential Tales of Wonder: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum, and Peter Pan or Peter and Wendy by J. M. Barrie with an introduction by Nicholas Tamblyn, and illustrations by Katherine Eglund. This collection is part of The Essential Series by Golding Books. The stories of Alice, Dorothy, and Peter Pan have long been at the heart of children's literature, as well as being cultural touchstones around the world. As early fantasy novels and classics of English and American literature they are also unique and spellbinding in their own ways, both as the thinking person's literature and escapism, not only for children but for readers of all ages. Unforgettable and singular characters abound: the Wicked Witch, the Queen of Hearts, the grinning Cheshire Cat, Oz the Great and Powerful in the Emerald City, the Scarecrow and Tin Man and Cowardly Lion, Tinker Bell, Captain Hook . . . Shrewd but flawed characters, enchanting and gripping adventures, resourceful children and strong female characters and the Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up. Above all, there is a sense of wonder at what is possible that touches the reader like few other children's books or fantasy novels, and such adventurous feel-good stories also have in them a great power to make us think. A few words from Nicholas Tamblyn's introduction: Adults and children are not that different, far less different than some may think. Adults enjoy blowing bubbles, singing silly songs, playing seemingly frivolous games, and reading about strange and wonderful adventures, but somewhere along the way we are told to be more serious, to work hard and earn more money to support those around us, to "put away childish things." It is possible to remain young at heart, and few things are more important. The most important lesson of childhood is to keep its sentiments of hope and joy alive into the years beyond, and children are at something of an advantage in cultivating this feeling! One of the best ways that we can embrace wonder, whether we are young or old, is to share it . . .
