Aprašymas

Musings of a Vegetarian Traveller is the opening story in this collection of tales, told by a woman whose appetite for life and travel took her on innumerable journeys. One of the most notable-her journey from meat eater to vegetarian-provides a deeply personal and sometimes very funny look into the worlds she encountered. But as Maureen says, "The story of my transformation from a meat-eating to vegetarian traveller is not about food, but rather, it is about the interesting, diverting, amusing, distressing, provocative, and irritating things that have happened to me as a vegetarian traveller." For adventurers and armchair travellers alike, sociologist Maureen Stone offers a different perspective on travel writing. From the Caribbean to Europe, India, Asia, Africa, and South America, readers will experience a new look at familiar landscapes with her musings and reflections on personal, political, social, and contemporary issues. About the Author: Maureen Stone was originally trained as a social worker and then as a sociologist. She was born in Barbados, and educated in India and the United Kingdom. After a brief career in social work, she moved into academic life as a university teacher and Independent Research Consultant. Maureen is a full-time writer/traveller. She is best known for her academic work, The Education of the Black Child in Britain (1983) and for her social work publications, most notably Child Protection Work - A Professional Guide (1990), and Child Protection - A Model for Risk Assessment (1993). In 2002, she moved away from academic and research publications with her book, Black Woman Walking - A Different Experience of World Travel.
