Around The World In 80 Days (Palin Book)
''Around the World in 80 Days'' is the 1989 book that Michael Palin wrote to accompany the BBC TV program ''Around the World in 80 Days with Michael Palin''. This trip was intended to follow in the footsteps of the (fictitious) Phileas Fogg in the 1873 Jules Verne book ''Around the World in Eighty Days''. The use of aeroplanes was not allowed, a self-imposed restriction. Steam liners don't exist any more, so all of the long sea journeys had to be on container ships or freighters. The one exception was the trip from Dubai to Mumbai (Bombay) on a dhow, a high point of the trip. This book, like the other books that Michael Palin wrote following each of his seven trips for the BBC, consists both of his text and of many photographs to illustrate the trip. Unlike the following books, in which the pictures were taken (almost) exclusively by Basil Pao, the pictures in this book are from many sources. (Basil Pao did provide the pictures for the Hong Kong to Shanghai stretch.) To some ext ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Around The World In A Day
''Around the World in a Day'' is the seventh studio album by American recording artist Prince, and the third release on which his backing band the Revolution is billed. It was released on April 22, 1985, by Paisley Park Records and Warner Bros. Records. Departing somewhat from the commercial sound of his previous release, the massively successful '' Purple Rain'' (1984), the album instead saw Prince experimenting with psychedelic styles and more opulent textures. In compliance with Prince's wishes to " let the project be taken in its entirety before zeroing in on anything", the record company released the album with minimal publicity, withholding accompanying singles until almost a month after the album's release. ''Around the World in a Day'' was released to mixed reception among crossover audiences after the success of ''Purple Rain'', though it nonetheless sold relatively well and became Prince and the Revolution's second number-one album on the ''Billboard'' 200.
