About the Author
Colin Thubron is an award-winning master of travel writing and novelist. His first books were about the Middle East - Damascus, Lebanon and Cyprus. In 1982 he traveled in the Soviet Union, pursued by the KGB. These early experiences were followed by his best-known travel books: on China, Central Asia and Siberia, including Shadow of the Silk Road. He lives in London.
Diana Moran is an all-round television and radio personality known as the 'Green Goddess' and part of the original team who in February 1983 launched BBC Breakfast TV. Her successful career as fitness guru, author and broadcaster specializing in well-being, health and aging issues has spanned four decades. She is an experienced and humorous motivational speaker.
Having traveled the globe for over fifty years, writing and broadcasting about his journeys, John Carter is retired. Or, rather, he continues to travel and write, but for pleasure not profit. He is currently compiling an anthology of 'traveler's tales'--all true, mostly unbelievable--and working on a documentary project for BBC Radio.
Dervla Murphy was 74 when she undertook this journey. Now in her eighties, she continues to travel the world and is passionate about politics, conservation, bicycling and beer. Her first book, Full Tilt: Ireland to India with a Bicycle, was published in 1965 and she has won worldwide praise for over twenty books since.
Brian Jackman is a freelance journalist and author with a lifelong passion for travel and wildlife. Today his work appears mostly in The Daily Telegraph and Travel Africa. Best known as Britain's foremost writer on African wildlife safaris, his African books include The Marsh Lions(with Jonathan Scott) and most recently Savannah Diaries.
Matthew Parris worked for the Foreign Office and the Conservative Research Department before serving as MP for West Derbyshire. He now writes as a columnist and occasional travel writer for The Times, broadcasts for radio and television and is the author of Inca Kola, recounting his backpacking adventures in Peru.
Roger Bray has been writing about travel for over 40 years. A former travel editor of London's Evening Standard and frequent broadcaster, he is the joint author of Flight to the Sun, a definitive history of the post war tourism boom and has won a number of awards for his writing.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Mesilla Internet, Las Cruces, New Mexico, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
