Another good book, not to be missed!
"Satish Kumar has been a pilgrim ever since at the age of eight he joined the brotherhood of wandering Jain monks in his native India. Later he walked the length and breadth of India with Gandhi’s successor Vinoba Bhave, persuading landowners to donate a portion of their lands to the poor, and in the 1960s he made an 8,000-mile pilgrimage for peace, which included walking from India over the Himalayas to Paris via Moscow."

Honey and Dust: Travels in Search of Sweetness by Piers Moore Ede
Unusual story about a man, Piers Moore Ede, who after a near fatal bicycling accident in San Francisco, returns to England for rehabilitation and begins a new life. His journey takes him to Tuscany where he apprentices with a beekeeper on a small organic farm and from there he goes off in pursuit of people who still use traditional methods of beekeeping all over the world. His travels take him to Syria, Nepal, Sri Lanka and more.

The Bee Photographer
These are truly awesome photographs of bees and honey gathering from around the world. Men hanging on ropes off cliffs in Nepal and women who keep bees in terra cotta jars in Mexico. Be sure and check out "At a Glance" and look at the link for each country and also the "Photo Library" pages.
