Book Description
Super serious Asahi Suzumura and laidback, easygoing Mitsuki Sayama might seem like an odd couple, but they made a deal; they'll vacation around the world and when they get back to Japan, they'll get married. As they travel from country to country, the different people, cultures and cuisine they encounter begin to bring them closer together. After all they're not just learning about the world, but about themselves too.

Book Description
Straight-talking, down-to-earth and totally irreverent, NO SHITTING IN THE TOILET examines cheap travel with clear eyes and hard realism. Based on the 1996 Travel Website of the Year (Net Magazine) NSITT is a celebration of all that's perverse about travel. It's about getting stranded and ripped off. It's about sitting in a tiny room counting cockroaches and feeling sorry for yourself. It's about being totally clueless, hopeless and pathetic... and loving every minute of it!In the four years since the original NSITT took the backpacker world by storm, many changes have revolutionised the travel experience - the internet and the trend towards short-break holidays being the most significant. The plummeting value of the dollar means more and more holiday-makers are venturing even further off the beaten track in search of affordable holidays - and thus deeper into the territory of NSITT, 'where you're more likely to find a cockroach on your pillow than a complimentary mint'. The three new chapters will keep Peter's fans - original groupies and new recruits alike - well-informed on all aspects of backpacker travel. Peter shares his secrets with chapters like- "Top 10 horrific bus rides", "Top 10 big nights out" and "Top 10 travel ailments". NSITT is the perfect antidote to vaseline-lensed accounts of travel. Peter fixes a clear and unromantic eye on the backpacker experience and tells it like it really is - and how we all (ultimately) love it to be! After all, who dines out on smooth-sailing experiences? It's the disasters that get the laughs - and create the memories.

Book Description
A potent new book examines the overlap between our ecological crisis and video games Video games may be fun and immersive diversions from daily life, but can they go beyond the realm of entertainment to do something serious—like help us save the planet? As one of the signature issues of the twenty-first century, ecological deterioration is seemingly everywhere, but it is rarely considered via the realm of interactive digital play. In Playing Nature, Alenda Y. Chang offers groundbreaking methods for exploring this vital overlap. Arguing that games need to be understood as part of a cultural response to the growing ecological crisis, Playing Nature seeds conversations around key environmental science concepts and terms. Chang suggests several ways to rethink existing game taxonomies and theories of agency while revealing surprising fundamental similarities between game play and scientific work. Gracefully reconciling new media theory with environmental criticism, Playing Nature examines an exciting range of games and related art forms, including historical and contemporary analog and digital games, alternate- and augmented-reality games, museum exhibitions, film, and science fiction. Chang puts her surprising ideas into conversation with leading media studies and environmental humanities scholars like Alexander Galloway, Donna Haraway, and Ursula Heise, ultimately exploring manifold ecological futures—not all of them dystopian.
