Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Have you ever packed your bags for a holiday and wondered whether you'd forgotten anything? Passport, plane ticket, hotel booking. But what if you also had to remember to find out whether you could use the shower in your hotel? Or how many steps you had to climb to get to your room? Or whether you could get on and off the trains in the country you were travelling to? These are only some of the challenges facing a traveller who happens to have mobility issues. When Maureen Corrigan, a former medical doctor and health administrator, developed multiple sclerosis she began to make a series of adaptations in her life in order to be able to continue doing the things she loves - chief among them, travel.

Her latest adventure, to Norway and the Arctic, provides us with a fascinating insight into how those adaptations play out in real life, as well as taking us on a journey to the starkly stunning vistas of the land of the midnight sun.

Soft cover. Zustand: Good. 1st Edition. Good condition. Wear to book corners, particularly front cover right tail corner, now protected with book tape. Ron Banks was fortunate to grow up in Mosman Park when it was mostly a working-class suburb. His memoir unearths the secrets of boyhood happiness (and sometimes girlhood), capturing the times with wit and sharp observational skills. He began working as a school teacher but soon understood his unsuitability for that profession and switched to the far easier craft of journalism. Fragments is a factual account of sane parenting and growing up for those who were there, and an historical account for those who were not. (back cover).
