Black tomato essential summer destinations

With summer nearly upon us Black Tomato, the travel experience gurus, have finally unveiled their essential summer destinations. The list includes a plethora of hotspots that span 5 continents and include a few rather surprising places. Here is a preview of what's on offer...

Samoa, The Philippines and the Cook Islands may not be the first places that spring to mind when you think of summer, but the promise of perfect seascapes and seldom-explored interiors should be enough to drive anyone there for an insight into the world's lesser known cultures.

 

If venturing into virgin jungles and coming up close and personal with Maoris is not your cup of tea then fear not. Another sizzling recommendation this summer is Central America and in particular Mexico and Panama. In Mexico, Black Tomato suggest you tip toe away from the well-trodden coast in favour of colonial Oaxaca and the UNESCO protected Queretaro. For some essential beach time in Mexico the quieter beaches of southern Baja California or the Panamanian Bocas Del Toro islands are a must.

 

Talking of beaches, Indonesia has to be one of the most diverse countries on the planet offering a rare combination of turquoise seas, smoking volcanoes and an eclectic array of cuisines. Summer time is a perfect time to visit to catch all the festivities of Independence Day on 17th August.

 

Finally, a first for Black Tomato is a foray into unexplored Ethiopia, a land of stark contrasts with mountain highlands to the north and sections of the mighty Rift Valley and stunning lakes to the south. The chance to interact with untouched tribes is a great excuse for some time away this summer.

If you're in need of a holiday fix this summer a little closer to the UK, Black Tomato have turned their attention to the little known ancient town of Basilicata on Italy's southern (and impossibly aqua) Tyrrhenian coast.  Another alternative Is Marseille, the chic French town hiding stylishly between its famous neighbours in the south of France. Take their advice and you are sure to avoid the madding summer crowd.

War and the Cultural Turn (Hardcover) $125.54 In this stimulating new text, renowned military historian Jeremy Black unpacks the concept of culture as a descriptive and analytical approach to the history of warfare. Black takes the reader through the limits and prospects of culture as a tool for analyzing war, while also demonstrating the necessity of maintaining the context of alternative analytical matrices, such as technology.Black sets out his unique approach to culture and warfare without making his paradigm into a straightjacket. He goes on to demonstrate the flexibility of his argument through a series of case studies which include the contexts of rationale (Gloire), strategy (early modern Britaisn), organizations (the modern West), and ideologies (the Cold War). These case studies drive home the point at the core of the book: culture is not a bumper sticker; it is a survival mechanism. Culture is not immutable; it is adaptable.Wide-ranging, international and always provocative, War and the Cultural Turn will be required reading for all students of military history and security studies.
