Forgotten Footprints
Lost Stories in the Discovery of Antarctica
John Harrison
A mix of history, geography, myth, and personal truth, this book
explores the Antarctic Peninsula, the South Shetland Islands, and
the Weddell Sea—the most visited places in Antarctica. Filled with
beautiful photographs by the author from his travels, this record
offers a selection of anecdotal accounts of the merchantmen, navy
men, sealers, whalers, and aviators who, along with scientists and
adventurers, drew the first ghostly maps of the white continent.
It delves into the heads and hearts of those who were driven to
discover the unknown land and is ideal for the armchair traveler
who wants to explore the continent’s past and present.
John Harrison is the author of Cloud Road and is a reviewer for
the Mail on Sunday and the New Welsh Review. He is the recipi-
ent of the Wales Book of the Year Award and the winner of the
inaugural Alexander Cordell Travel Writing Competition.

Beyond the Pampas

In Search of Patagonia
Imogen Rhia Herrad
Serving as both a travelogue and a history of the Welsh settlers in
Patagonia—and the indigenous people with whom they interact-
ed—this account describes how Welsh settlers have been integrated
into Argentinean society. It also tells how certain aspects of Welsh
culture, including the language, have been retained. Providing a
unique perspective on colonialism, religious oppression, and the
pioneer spirit, this fascinating book includes the author’s personal
story of resolving longstanding issues of an abusive childhood
during visits to Patagonia.
Imogen Rhia Herrad is a freelance writer and broadcaster. She
writes programs for national and state-run German radio stations
about her travels in Europe and South America, women’s politics,
and history across cultures. Her short stories and articles have been
published in magazines and anthologies in Canada, the United
States, and Wales. She is the author of The Woman Who Loved an
Octopus and Other Saint’s Tales.

Excerpt:
The first time I went to Patagonia, I didn’t know a soul there. I only meant to go once,
for a couple of weeks, to look at the place. I didn’t know it would work its way under
my skin until I would always be homesick for it, always come back to it. I didn’t know
that it was going to change me, draw me out of myself. I fell in love with Patagonia
from afar: with the story of the people who had left Wales a century and a half before
to follow a dream and live in this place on the other side of the earth.
I thought of it as Y Wladfa: the place of the Welsh settlement. Over time, I came to
know its other inhabitants, who had been there before the Welsh, and who are still
there today: the indigenous Tehuelche and Mapuche nations. Entirely unprepared, I
stumbled upon their history, a seldom-told story of genocide five generations ago. I met
freedom fighters and traumatised survivors of ethnic cleansing; people determined their
culture should not die.
I could not have foreseen where this journey would eventually take me as I travelled
ever further into Patagonia: to a night by an open fire under the stars, deep in the
foothills of the Andes.

The Tiger That Swallowed the Boy

Exotic Animals in Victorian England
John Simons
Looking at zoological gardens, private menageries, circuses,
and natural history museums, this fascinating account explores
the surprising extent of the exotic-animal trade in 19th-century
England and its colonies. Filled with entertaining anecdotes—
from the tiger that prowled down St. George’s Street in London
with a boy in its mouth and the polar bear that killed a dog in
Liverpool to the kangaroos hopping around the lawns of stately
homes and the boa constrictor who got loose in Tunbridge
Wells—this book also shares how the animals played a key role
in the project to ensure that leisure was educational. As it
demonstrates how the trade was intimately connected with the
tides of Empire, it will be of interest to academics and general
readers alike.
John Simons is the executive dean of arts at Macquarie
University and a fellow of the Higher Education Academy, the
Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics, the Royal Society of Arts,
and the Zoological Society of London. He is the author of

Bradley Wiggins
Tour de Force
John Deering
Abandoned by his professional cyclist father as a toddler, Bradley
Wiggins rose from an inner-city background to become a prodi-
gious talent. World Junior Champion, World Champion, and
Olympic Champion were all titles he earned at a startlingly young
age, but what he really wanted was success on the road. “Wiggo’s”
reinvention on the path to becoming Britain’s first Tour de France
winner in more than 100 years of racing is one of sport’s most
uplifting and inspiring stories. This captivating and insightful nar-
rative journeys with Wiggins as he races along the thousands of
kilometers of French tarmac and tells of his brutal procession
from Liege to Paris in counterpoint to his fascinating life. From a
Kilburn council estate to the Champs Elysees via the Olympics,
the legend of Bradley Wiggins is unraveled here like never before.

Early Farm Tractors

A History in Advertising Line Art
Jim Harter
• Advertising in Antique Power, Farm Collector,
and Steam Traction magazines
Providing an interesting glimpse into the steam traction

engines and internal combustion tractors that revolution-
ized the world of farming, this collection focuses on
American tractors from the late 1850s to the beginning of
the Great Depression. With farm journal advertisements—
dating from 1909 through 1929—this account considers
how something as ordinary and utilitarian as a tractor
seems to have inherent standards of good design, correct
proportion, and beauty. Intended for tractor enthusiasts,
historians, artists, illustrators, students of industrial design,
and graphic art lovers, this fascinating book recounts an
important piece of history.
Jim Harter is a collage artist, an illustrator, and an art edi-
tor. He is the author of several books, including Initiations
in the Abyss, Journeys in the Mythic Sea, Scientific
Instruments and Apparatus, and World Railways of the
Nineteenth Century. He lives in San Antonio, Texas.

“In this unique book, Jim Harter, a gifted graphic artist

and historian, has assembled a remarkable collection of
images of these machines, drawn from either 20th-
century advertising cuts or earlier engravings. Taking
the reader up to the beginning of the Great Depression,
these pictures, and accompanying text, document this
historically important development, and some of its
most prominent companies.”
—John H. White, Jr., curator, Smithsonian Institution
“Jim Harter’s exhaustive collection of tractor images can
be appreciated on multiple levels, as the intersection of
industrial design, advertising, and art. A treat for both
the historian and the tractor enthusiast, it sheds
welcome light on an under-appreciated art form.”
