An utterly unique travel memoir about a gay expat searching an otherworldly place for a deeper understanding of his partner and his adoptive homeland.Embark on an extraordinary odyssey through the heart of the world's driest non-polar desert-the Atacama. In Mars on Earth, intrepid journalist Mark Johanson navigates this otherworldly terrain, a sliver of camel-colored hills, windswept dunes, and desolate salt flats nestled between the Pacific's tumultuous waves and the towering Andes. Unfolding against the backdrop of Chile's 2019-2020 protests, Mark's journey begins in Santiago, unraveling a rich tapestry of human resilience and passion that fuels a nation's desire for change.As he traverses 1,200 miles of alien landscapes, Mark climbs to the Andean Altiplano's dizzying heights, explores the Pacific's kelp forests, and ventures onto a lithium-rich salt flat threatened by progress. The narrative reaches new heights as Mark delves into the heart of the Atacama, meeting captivating characters-a guardian of ancient mummies, a guru in a glass box, and a copper miner who defied nature's grasp for 69 days. At its core, Mars on Earth weaves a rich tapestry of voices, highlighting the stories of Chile's marginalized communities, including the working class, Indigenous peoples, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and immigrant communities from Venezuela and Haiti. Each narrative contributes to the social movement that could redefine the nation's future. This vibrant and adventurous work of narrative nonfiction is a captivating exploration of a land both barren and brimming with life.

Und alles nur, weil ihr das mit der Glühbirne passiert war. Mari strich dem Nachbarsjungen das blonde Haar aus dem Gesicht: Da war das bunt schimmernde Stirnband. Alles deutete darauf hin, dass sie beide es tatsächlich waren: Die Key-Tas. Wirklich? Sie, die junge Allgäuerin mit dem chaotischen Leben und der Leo vom Bauernhof nebenan. Sollten sie tatsächlich die neun Stufen meistern und damit wieder das Gleichgewicht auf diesem Planeten herstellen können? Zweifelnd blickte sie zu dem tibetischen Mönch und der peruanischen Frau, die ihr gegenüberstanden. Sie wirkten so optimistisch und überzeugt. Dann sah sie zu Leo. Dieser nickte ihr freundlich zu, als ob es das Einfachste der Welt wäre, nun die Orte der Initiationen zu suchen. Würden sie die Aufgaben wirklich meistern können? Und was, wenn nicht? Mari fuhr sich nachdenklich über die Stirn. In ihrem Bauch fühlte sie ein klares Ja, doch ihr Kopf rebellierte. Sie beschloss, ihrem starken Gefühl zu folgen, und nickte. Es war ihr Weg, jetzt diese Abenteuerreise anzutreten. Beyond Munay Ki - es gibt immer einen Weg und die Reise beginnt jetzt.

Imagine if our pets could travel the world with us. What adventures would they have? What trouble would they get into? What friends would they make? In the Travels with Zozo... series of illustrated children's books for ages 4-8 years old, a fun-loving family of four brings their pet bunny, Zozo, on their trips around the world, and Zozo's escapades are bound to amaze, amuse, and inspire you. Author A.J. Atlas' extensive travel experiences in nearly fifty countries and throughout all fifty U.S. states provide firsthand insight into the settings for the books. Award-winning illustrator Anne Zimanski uses bright colors and expert digital artistry to turn the real-life places into beautifully colorful, imaginative worlds for Zozo and readers to explore. She adds an abundance of charm and heart to the culturally-diverse characters whom Zozo meets, and she packs Zozo's sweet, little, furry face full of emotion. Then, together, Atlas and Zimanski keep the pages filled with goofy gags and funny antics. So many, in fact, that rereading the stories is sure to surprise you with something new and keep you laughing. The eighth book in the award-winning series, Travels with Zozo...in the Snow, takes readers to the ski slopes near Bariloche, Argentina, in South America's Andes Mountains. Pet bunny Zozo and her human family are there to enjoy a winter vacation together. Just before dawn, on the first morning of the family trip, Zozo wakes to see freshly falling snow. Overwhelmed with curiosity to feel the icy crystals up close for the first time in her life, Zozo dives from an open window into the deep, soft snow. She twists and twirls, leaping and landing in the powdery snow. Until accidentally, one strong jump lands her on a plastic saucer and swiftly whisks her down the unknown mountain. As the adventure unfolds, Zozo and readers see a colorful world filled with whimsically illustrated local animals, including a snowboarding tuco-tuco, a skiing family of owls, marshmallow-roasting deer, and so much more. Page after beautifully-illustrated page, chinchillas and mountain cats roll into funny snowballs and join the adventure. The wildlife adds depth and richness (and laughs!) to the mountain landscape showcased in this premium full-color 32-page book. From start to finish, Zozo's adventurous journey is filled with excitement and emotion. In the end, happiness prevails as a new friend leads Zozo back to her family in a surprising way. Children and grownups alike are sure to fall in love with the "hoppity, floppity, huggable, snuggable" pet bunny, Zozo, in this engaging, educational, pint-size travel adventure. They will be amazed by the detailed illustrations of actual plants, animals, and landscapes of the Andes Mountains while laughing at the goofy goings-on in every corner of the pages. Bring your imagination and let Zozo be your guide to a world of amazing places!

This book retrieves the narrative and social context of Brazilian historical performances and artistic movements to restore, with the support of a vast literature review, aesthetic analysis and the debate around engagement, the due complexity to the multifaceted concept of political theatre. Broadening the perspective, it addresses one of the most significant contemporary resonances of such an itinerary: Augusto Boal¿s Theatre of the Oppressed, challenging canons of the role of performers and spectators. The research also seeks, by refusing pamphleteering or professorial responses, to shed light on the contested actuality of theatre¿s social function, especially after the extreme right wave that has been testing the usefulness of traditional institutions.
