| Summary/Abstract |
Bryson visits Kenya at the invitation of CARE International, the charity dedicated to eradicating poverty. Kenya is a land of contrasts, with famous game reserves and a vibrant culture. It also provides plenty to worry a traveller like Bill Bryson, fixated as he is on the dangers posed by snakes, insects and large predators. It is also a country with many serious problems: refugees, AIDS, drought, and grinding poverty. The resultant diary, though short in length, contains the trademark Bryson stamp of wry observation and curious insight.

| Summary/Abstract |
Some say that the first hint that Bill Bryson was not of Planet Earth came when his mother sent him to school in lime-green Capri pants. Others think it all started with his discovery, at the age of six, of a woollen jersey of rare fineness. In this memoir, he explores the ordinary kid he once was, and the curious world of 1950s America.

| Summary/Abstract |
Pico Iyer has been obsessed by one of the great themes of Greene's work:what it means to be an outsider. Wherever he has travelled-usually as an outsider himself--Iyer has found reminders of Greene's life, observed scenes that might have been written by Greene, written stories tha trecall Greene. Yet as Iyer recounts the history of his obsession, another phantom image begins to assert itself, one that Iyer had long banishedfrom his inner life--that of his father. Insightful, tender, superbly written,The Man Within my Head is another masterpiece from one of our grea ttravel writers.
