From the mountains of Scotland to the white surf of Hawaii, Guy Gauthier takes us on a journey of exploration and self-discovery. Nothing escapes his watchful eye, not even the tiny insects that land on the pages of his notebook. He pounces on the moment before it’s gone, giving us a snapshot in words. Gauthier travels like there’s no tomorrow, and lives each day as if it were his last.
Peter Beaumont has been on the ground in Tunisia, Egypt and Libya as the 'Arab Spring' has blossomed. He has witnessed the uprisings in all their messy reality. In this ebook he explains what is going on in the region and explodes the myths that the uprisings can be interpreted as an easily explainable revolution. He draws linkages between the countries ruled over by authoritarian regimes that promise 'reform' which is actually impossible to deliver, the frustration and anger this has caused, and then how this fulminated and eventually exploded, triggering a domino effect across the region. BRAIN SHOTS is the pre-eminent source for high quality, short-form digital non-fiction. The Summer of Unrest series brings together stellar writers to explore the issues surrounding the austerity measures in the UK, uprisings in the Middle East and the nature of the protest movements springing up all over the world.
"That's it, I've had enough! Pack your bag, we're hitting the road." Just about three months in, and no one is quite sure how to navigate a modern-day pandemic. Memorial Day was approaching, and the governor had plans to close down our beaches and parks. Mjay's company was furloughing people for a week every month, and I had just lost my full-time job. The stars seemed to be aligning, and that's when we decided to hit the open road and seek out adventure. Mjay and I researched places that had established Covid-19 protocols and welcomed travelers. We wanted to find out how the pandemic was affecting popular tourist destinations and what we could do to help them out. We were also curious to find out who was following CDC guidelines and who was buying into the mass hysteria. We're not confrontational people, merely observers of people and their reactions to a very difficult time. Mjay and I decided to make it our goal to chronicle everything we could during our summer road trips of 2020. Every place we visited had the same basis of rules, which was masking and social distancing, but each area enforced the guidelines with different severity. Mjay and I are extremely excited to bring you into this journey with us as we live our best lives--even through a pandemic. Happy travels!
