Finally, the one-volume edition of Ian Kershaw's definitive and masterful biography of Hitler.

"The Hitler biography of the twenty-first century" (Richard J. Evans), Ian Kershaw's Hitler is a new, distilled, one-volume masterpiece that will become the standard work. From Hitler's origins as a failed artist in fin-de-siécle Vienna to the terrifying last days in his Berlin bunker, Kershaw's richly illustrated biography is a mesmerizing portrait of how Hitler attained, exercised, and retained power. Drawing on previously untapped sources, such as Goebbels's diaries, Kershaw addresses crucial questions about the unique nature of Nazi radicalism, about the Holocaust, and about the poisoned European world that allowed Hitler to operate so effectively. 151 photographs; 8 maps.

"Massive, extensively researched, extraordinarily balanced, and remarkably judicious."—Omer Bartov, The New Republic

Originally published in 1992, with a second edition in 1996, A Journey of One's Own has sold over68,000 copies. Praised by travel experts across the spectrum, from Glamour to The Women's Review of Books, from The Whole Earth Catalog to American Express, U.S. News and World Report, and Parade, and written about in over forty major dailies, A Journey of One's Own has become an established title in the travel book category.

Although geared to women and including much information specific to women (how to deal with sexual harassment, for example) A Journey of One's Own has also found an audience with men who value the extensive information and excellent advice that is not gender-specific.

The third edition sports a livelier and more compact text design, a smaller format, and shorter page count. The author has thoroughly updated the material and added new sections on health, safety, and traveling during times of international upheaval.

Yet, the basic structure has been maintained: excerpts from many women's travel stories are interlaced with -detailed advice on practical matters (how to stay healthy, be safe, avoid theft, etc.). And the author's own stories, which reflect on political and cultural explorations from her extensive travels, are engaging and thoughtful, and add depth to discussion of issues such as getting acquainted with new cultures, accepting hospitality, bargaining, and communicating without language.

"Thalia Zepatos is . . . teacher, spokeswoman, and heroine of sorts to a generation of travelers, both women and men, who understand travel as more than the periodic recreational migration that our commercial culture promotes."-Seattle Times

"Superlatives generally make us suspicious, but we must say: This is THE best women's travel resource we've seen, ever. . . . It's authoritative; it's supportive; it's amusing; it really does have it all."-New York Daily News

Thalia Zepatos is the author of Adventures in Good Company and Women for a Change: A Grassroots Guide to Activism and Politics.
