How to be treated like shite in 15 different countries...and still quite like it! Stung by a ten-hour delay & a not-so-bargain fare to Spain on his native `low fares` airline, Dubliner Paul Kilduff plots revenge. Can Paul beat ` Ruinair` at their low cost game & fly to all fifteen countries in Western Europe for less than the a C--300 it cost him to be stranded in an airport lounge surrounded by drunks, bimbos & incompetents (and that was just the flight crew!)? Suffering every low-fares airline indignity: a miniscule carry-on baggage allowance, 6.00 am departures, Six Nations-style boarding scrums, epic bus excursions & terminal anxiety, Paul is doing something he`s never done before: travelling to places he never knew he wanted to go, which are probably not quite where he thinks they are, with no idea what he`s going to do when he gets there. In a way never before possible Ruinair & its competitors have opened up Europe`s treasures to the average traveller, &, as discovered by Paul, a few complete dumps too. In this hilarious, no-holds-barred account of a holiday of a lifetime-cum-human endurance test, Paul takes us on an adventure that is not for the faint-hearted. From Luxembourg to Liechtenstein to Spain & back again, pack your bags (maximum 10kg, please) & join Paul Kilduff on this is a whirlwind no-frills tour of Europe & the low-cost airlines that help make that colourful continent a smaller, & somewhat angrier, place. ...

When this book was published a century ago, the French, through the l` Ecole Francaise d` Extreme-Orient, were responsible for the temples of Angkor & its environs. At that time, the temples were magnificently photographed by Piere Dieulefils & expertly documented by Louis Finot. Now Angkor is once again seen as one of the world`s most magnificent sites, it is fascinating to compare past & present in this important record. ...

The Royal Navy of the 19th & early 20th centuries was a legendary force: it claimed supremacy in every ocean, policed the empire & provided the force behind Britain's power in the world. During this period the Service was commletely transformed, from the wooden walls of Nelson's time to the steel dreadnoughts, destroyers & submarines which fought at Jutl&. Padfield describes the struggle to adapt to the radical changes which affected every aspect of weapons, tactics, education, propulsion, training & social attitudes. Rule Britannia looks, in human terms, at the background to the legends that accumulate about any service as splendid & uniquely powerful as the Royal Navy, setting down the reality in the words of those who served. Topics covered include: how an expedition was mounted to punish an African tribe; what a sailor was paid & how he was disciplined; what he ate & the diseases he suffered; his pride; his moments of frolic & his exhilaration in the chase. This work penetrates beneath the legend, describing each of the navy's tasks & illustrating the lives & attitudes of both the officers & the men of this superbly arrogant force. ...
