"Adventure is worthwhile in itself" said the aviation pioneer Amelia Earhart. Roald Amundsen, one of the most intrepid explorers in History, put it much more prosaically when he declared that "adventure is just bad planning". Whichever way you look at it, the spirit of adventure is intrinsic in all of us; it is just a question of finding the right key to unleash it. And that is precisely what this book proposes to do with a collection of 100 adventurous journeys to the four corners of the Earth, on foot or by bicycle, by sailing boat or by off-road transport or even by more "exotic" means of transport, to plunge into the wildest forms of Nature or to encounter peoples who are very different from ourselves, and even to test our physical limits in extreme sports. Some of the adventures included in the book only last a few days, while others are epic journeys -- in the Amazon Forest, along the Grand Trunk Road, the "travelling continent" between Pakistan and India or through the ice of the Antarctic -- that will be remembered as once in a lifetime experiences. The chronicle of each one of these journeys, all of which are truly special, is accompanied by spectacular pictures and practical information and advice because, as Amundsen said, a perfect adventure must be well organised."

"Penelitian ini berusaha menggambarkan bagaimana situasi dan kondisi ekonomi-politik kontemporer bergulir. Realitas ekonomi politik kontemporer dianggap mengalami perubahan besar-besaran. Lebih tepatnya, realitas ekonomi-politik telah memasuki paradigma baru dimana informasi dan komunikasi menjadi variable sentral di dalamnya. Penelitian ini mengambil kasus freeware, suatu teknologi yang berakar dari penciptaan komputer dan internet di abad ke-20, untuk menjustifikasi bahwa realitas sosial-ekonomi-politik kontemporer bergulir seperti gambaran Antonio Negri dan Michael Hardt. Hal ini terkait dengan keberadaan kapitalisme postmodern yang berupa Empire, terjadinya produksi biopolitis sebagai corak produksi kontemporer, keberadaan immaterial labor, eksploitasi pada masyarakat secara menyeluruh di level global, hingga Multitude yang dianggap mampu melakukan perlawanan. Keseluruhan rangkaian fenomena tersebut dianggap terjustifikasi dengan keberadaan freeware. Freeware dianggap mengandung sendi-sendi kapitalisme postmodern, khususnya menyoal informatisasi dan komunikasi.

This research is trying to explain how the contemporary political economic reality works. The contemporary political economic reality is assumed to have been totally transformed. Specifically, political economic reality has turned into a new paradigm which information and communication become the central variable in it. This research takes freeware, a technology which rooted from the discovery of computer and internet on the 20th Century, to justify that the contemporary political social economic reality woks as how Antonio Negri and Michael Hardt explain it. This is related to the existence of postmodern capitalism which formed as Empire, the existence of biopolitical production as a form of contemporary production, the existence of immaterial labor, the exploitation which happened totally to the social reality on global level, also Multitude which was born internally and oppose the Empire itself. The totality of theat combination will be explained as justifiable to the exsistence of freeware. Freeware is justified containting those principle of poatmodern capitalism, especially when it comes to the exploitation of information."
