Eland Publishing Ltd Ethiopia: Through Writers' Eyes
Book SynopsisThere are only a handful of destinations left in the world that have retained their ability to shock the traveller with their unique perspective. These places still awaken a sense of deep wonder as they offer the rare opportunity to observe the world from a different angle. Ethiopia is one of those rare countries. This book is the perfect companion to any exploration of Ethiopia, be it in the precarious saddle of an Abyssinian pony, or from the folds of an armchair. A compendium of all things Ethiopian, the book throws wide open precious windows of understanding, allowing you to gaze deeper into the landscape and people with additional wonder. As well as peopling the land with its own caste of priest kings descended from Solomon and Sheba, Ethiopia has long attracted the attentions of eccentric adventurers, Jesuit explorers, foolish would-be conquerors, as well as saints and sinners in equal measure ...and the keen interest of writers of all stripes. What you have here is quite literally the best bits from whole libraries of past travel accounts, hand-picked by Yves-Marie Stranger, a long time Ethiopia resident, trilingual interpreter and writer.

Quarto Publishing PLC The Coast to Coast Walk: The classic high-level
Book SynopsisThe classic high-level walk from Irish Sea to North Sea Originally devised by the legendary Alfred Wainwright, the Coast-to-Coast Walk has steadily become one of Britain’ s most popular long-distance walks, and it is not hard to see why. Planned to seek out the most spectacular high ground across the country, it takes you from the sea in the west to the sea in the east via three of England’ s loveliest National Parks: the Lake District, the Yorkshire Dales and the North York Moors. Its 192 miles, from the quiet Cumbrian village of St Bees to Robin Hood’ s Bay, are a substantial test of endurance that will take even a fit walker a fortnight to accomplish, but also a wonderfully varying walk, from sea cliffs to craggy mountains and lakes, then across rolling dales and finally heather moorland. For everyone who reaches Wainwright’ s Bar at journey’ s end on the North Yorkshire coast it will have been the walk of a lifetime.Trade Review'Packed with colour photographs, detailed information and anecdotes as well as route directions, all in a very readable style.

Bradt Travel Guides Sierra Leone
Book SynopsisThis new, thoroughly updated third edition of Bradt's Sierra Leone remains the only English-language guide dedicated to this unique West African destination, one of only three countries where the über-elusive pygmy hippo can be found and where coastal mountains and sheltered beaches are the stuff of daydreams and postcards. With Bradt's Sierra Leone you can explore the infamous diamond mines and rainforest-covered mountains; go in search of pygmy hippos or relax on the country's beaches and islands. Offering significantly more coverage than any other guide, it is an ideal companion for tourists, volunteers and international workers alike, and also covers newly declared eco-tourist sites as well as the trans-boundary 'peace park' of Gola Forest National Park, shared with neighbouring Liberia. This new edition also covers Freetown's new beach music festival, as well as details of everything from where to visit rescued chimpanzees to touring the traditional wooden-board homes of the Krio people, descendants of repatriated slaves from the Americas and Europe. Sierra Leone continues to be one of the best beach destinations in West Africa, and also one of the region's best trekking destinations, given the varied topography and the presence of Mount Bintumani, West Africa's highest peak. The country has seen a heartening recovery since emerging from civil war a decade ago and the Bradt guide is the first to take stock of the country's post-Ebola travel situation. Sierra Leone is proudly back on the tourism map for the adventurous, beach-loving, jungle-exploring, mountain-scaling and curious of heart traveller.Table of ContentsIntroduction Part One General Information Chapter 1 Background Information Geography, Climate, Natural history and conservation, History, Government and politics, Economy, People, Language, Education, Religion and cultural beliefs, Culture Chapter 2 Practical Information When to visit, Highlights and suggested itineraries, Tour operators, Red tape, Embassies, Getting there and away, Health, Safety, What to take, Money, Budgeting, Getting around, Accommodation, Eating and drinking, Public holidays and festivals, Shopping, Sport, Photography, Media, Communications, Business and investment, Buying property, Cultural etiquette, Language, Travelling positively Part Two THE GUIDE Chapter 3 Freetown History, Getting there and away, Orientation, Getting around, Tourist information and cultural centres, Where to stay, Where to eat and drink, Entertainment and nightlife, Festivals, Shopping, Other practicalities, What to see and do Chapter 4 Western Area The interior, Bunce Island, The beaches Chapter 5 Southern Province Southwest of the Bo road, Bo, Around Bo Chapter 6 Eastern Province Kenema, Gola, Koidu, Around Koidu, The far east Chapter 7 Northern Province From Freetown to Makeni, Makeni, Around Makeni, The far north and northeast, The northwest Appendix 1 Language Appendix 2 further Information Index

Bradt Travel Guides Ben le Vay's Eccentric Oxford
Book SynopsisThis new edition of Ben le Vay's irrepressible and irreverent guide to one of the greatest of English cities has been updated and expanded to include even more entertaining tales. There are more civilian/non-academic eccentrics, there is more local history, and there's a particularly fascinating bit of military history about Oxford that even many locals have never heard of. Dreaming spires, honeyed stone, cycling dons ... forget all that tourist twaddle, says Benedict le Vay. Find out the secrets the colleges don't want you to know, the inside track on the best pubs and eating places, the scandal and gossip about nutty professors and disgraceful students past and present, the brilliant stories about the great, the good and the bad. With 8 maps and a mix of colour and black and white illustrations and photographs, this is the essential guide to take you beyond the normal sights. William Morris called Oxford 'a perfect jewel' of a city; Benedict le Vay goes in search of the quirkier gems among its medieval back alleys. Here roam batty dons, daft students, barmy aristocrats and political firebrands. Who does that gargoyle remind you of? Why is a shark plunging into that man's house? When do students jump naked into the River Cherwell as Latin hymns are sung? What powers the 'Cosmic Triangle' of vibrant East Oxford? How do you control a punt without looking like a plonker? . The pubs where Inspector Morse and Bill Clinton enjoyed a pint . Where to eat a great fry-up in a unique setting . Where to find a weird museum . Calendar of annual eccentric events Press acclaim for le Vay's previous Bradt Eccentric guides: 'Wonderfully barmy', 'The ultimate guide', 'A must', 'Endlessly fascinating', 'One of the best'Trade Review'Charmingly eclectic little guide.'

Bradt Travel Guides Ghana
Book SynopsisThis 8th edition of Bradt's Ghana remains the only dedicated guidebook on the market and the most comprehensive source of travel information on the first country in sub-Saharan Africa to gain independence and the world's second-largest producer of chocolate. Covering everything from Ghana's 550km of Atlantic coastline to its remote and sparsely populated northern border with Burkina Faso, this new edition has been thoroughly updated and is an ideal companion no matter what your interests are. Written by Philip Briggs, arguably the world's most experienced guidebook writer, it covers everything from inexpensive opportunities to see wildlife to cultural and historical aspects such as the slave trading posts. Background, practical and health information are complemented by a dedicated, illustrated chapter on wildlife, 63 maps and 18 chapters split across five regional sections, from Accra and surrounds to the coast, through eastern and central Ghana, right up to the north. The popular Cape Coast and the Ashanti regions are both covered, as is the increasingly high-profile Chale Wote Street Art festival. Friendly, safe and inexpensive, Ghana is an ideal destination for first-time visitors to Africa. It is rich in little-visited national parks, forest reserves, cultural sites and scenic waterfalls and blessed with bleached white beaches and the lush rainforest of the Atlantic coastline. Bradt's Ghana is accompanied by a dedicated, updated website run by the author himself and caters for everyone from birdwatchers to bar-hoppers. Whether you want to cruise the world's largest man-made reservoir, Lake Volta, on a pokey old steamer, hike with elephants in Mole National Park, or party all night in Accra's glittering Osu district, Bradt's Ghana is an indispensable companion.Trade Review'A great travelling companion.'

Bradt Travel Guides Italy: Friuli Venezia Giulia: Including Trieste,
Book SynopsisThis new title continues Bradt's coverage of lesser-known but increasingly popular Italian regions and is the only guide available to Friuli Venezia Giulia, a region that forms the major part of the hinterland of Venice (but does not - despite the name - include Venice itself), and which is a convenient and fascinating place to spend time on the beach, in the Alps or relaxing in the country. It is notable also for its wines and distinctive cuisine, which, with touches of neighbouring Austria and Slovenia stirred in, are starting to attract attention around the world. Written by long-time travel authors and Italy specialists Dana Facaros and Michael Pauls, background and practical information are complemented by ten easy-to-follow chapters, covering Trieste, its coast and the Carso, the Friuli coast, Gorizia and the Collio, Udine, Pordenone and Western Friuli, and the mountains: the Friulian Dolomites, Carnia and the Julian Alps. Set in Italy's northeastern corner, Friuli Venezia Giulia is one of the most ethnically and culturally diverse parts of the country - and also one of the least known. With Bradt's Friuli Venezia Giulia, explore this small but varied region in detail, from the Alps of the north to the coastal resorts, unspoiled wetlands and lagoons, and from medieval towns like Cividale del Friuli to the strange desert steppe called the Magredi and the lovely wine region of Il Collio. Discover the regional capital, caffeine-mad Trieste, where there are 67 different ways of ordering a cup of coffee, and Gorizia, one of the biggest battle fronts of World War I, which survives almost intact, with miles of trenches and fortifications open for exploration. Bradt's Friuli Venezia Giulia offers everything you need for a successful trip.Table of ContentsIntroduction PART ONE GENERAL INFORMATION Chapter 1 Background Information Geography, Climate, Natural history and conservation, History, Government and politics, Economy, People, Language, Religion, Art and architecture, Music, Literature, Cinema Chapter 2 Practical Information When to visit, Highlights, Suggested itineraries, Tourist information, Tour operators, Red tape, Embassies, Getting there and away, Health and safety, Women travellers, LGBTQ+ travellers, Travelling with children, What to take, Money, Budgeting, Getting around, Accommodation, Eating and drinking, Festivals and annual events, Opening times, Shopping, Sports and activities, Arts and entertainment, Media and communications, Cultural etiquette PART TWO THE GUIDE Chapter 3 Trieste History, Getting there and away, Getting around, Tourist information, Where to stay, Where to eat and drink, Entertainment and nightlife, Shopping, Other practicalities, What to see and do, South Trieste Chapter 4 Around Trieste: the Coast and the Carso Muggia, Trieste's coast, The Carso Chapter 5 The Friuli Coast Grado, Aquileia, Marano Lagunare, Lignano Sabbiadoro Chapter 6 Gorizia and the Collio History, Getting there and away, Getting around, Tourist information, Where to stay, Where to eat and drink, Other practicalities, What to see and do, The Collio Chapter 7 Udine History, Getting there and away, Getting around, Tourist information, Where to stay, Where to eat and drink, Entertainment, Shopping, Other practicalities, What to see and do Chapter 8 Around Udine Palmanova, Cividale del Friuli, The Colli Orientali, The Natisone valleys, Up the Tagliamento Chapter 9 Pordenone and Western Friuli Pordenone, Sacile, Polcenigo, Aviano, Piancavallo, Maniago, The Val Colvera, Montereale Valcellina, Along the Tagliamento Chapter 10 The Friulian Dolomites Tourist information, Sports and activities, Barcis and Andreis, Claut, Cimoláis, The Val Vajont Chapter 11 Carnia History, Tolmezzo, South of Tolmezzo: the Prealpi Carniche, North of Tolmezzo: the Valle del But, The valleys west of Tolmezzo, Sappada (Plodn) Chapter 12 The Julian Alps Val Resia, Tarvisio, West of Tarvisio Appendix 1 Language Appendix 2 Glossary Appendix 3 Further Information Index

This unique guide, now in its 2nd edition, has been fully updated for 2017, and provides you with all you need to know to enjoy a visit to France with a motoring twist - when to go, how to get there, and where to find out more.Trade ReviewThis book was originally published in 2015 and has been fully updated in 2017 and provides you with all you need to know to enjoy a visit to France with a motoring twist. Given the limited space available for each attraction, I thought the results were excellent; in a few words and with enough colour photos, there is enough information to whet one's appetite. This is an excellent book and every car enthusiast who visits France should but a copy.- Citroenet; Forget Brexit, France is still the best place for the classic enthusiast. To help make the best of your trip, Julian Parish's invaluable guide to all-things auto in France is vital, sporting 11 new events, 130 new photos, live events calendar and digital POI downloads for satnavs. Motorsports, museums, show, and events including Classic British Welcome (classicbw.org), the day before Le Mans is here.- Classic Motoring; Despite its small size, designed to fit in a glovebox, this handy guide succeeds in being both exhaustive and unrivalled in the clarity of its presentation. An impressive piece of work, supplemented by an event calendar and index at the end of the book. The essential tool for the enthusiast. - Lettonie. Parish is a correspondent for the classic car press and has lived in France for many years. His book is driven by the first hand knowledge and energy of the true enthusiast and written so compellingly, that simply leafing through it the reader is filled with the desire to get across the Channel at the first opportunity. Logically laid out on a region by region basis and enhanced by excellent photography, this encyclopaedic book should be in every car fan's glovebox. - Kieron Fennelly. Here's a jolly useful and detailed little companion for any of you travelling in France. Subtitled 200 Things for Car Enthusiasts to See and Do, you may be a little surprised to know- as I was- just how many shows, museums, galleries, exhibitions and rallies France offered for those travellers with an interest in automobiles.- Big End. As our closest geographical neighbour, France remains as an immense attraction for drivers of all types, whether holiday making, attending car club expeditions, or just traipsing across the Channel for a slice of relative Gallic freedom. Whether we remain in the EU, or not, France will always offers a wealth of attractions, most notably to motorists, either travelling there by ferry, or via the Channel tunnel. Naturally I always arm myself with Michelin maps and the firms restaurant and accommodation guide, as well as the most recent sites directory, whenever tackling French trips. However, a new addition to my car's glovebox will be this marvellous guide. Colourful illustrated across several neatly and practically filed subjects, from Museums, to Shows & Tours, Marketplaces, Motorsport and even Racing Circuits, it is well detailed, seasonally appropriate and editorially interesting. Divided into five regions, each chapter carries a wealth of information that answers all manner of motorists questions. It is fun, useful and a must-have for any planned French excursion.- Iain P W Robertson. Do you go on holiday to France and want to know where there is something to do or see in your car? Buy this booklet. It is packed with museums, contest of elegances and tours, fairs, interesting shops, sports events and circuit locations. Neatly classified by region with all necessary info, such as address, phone number, website and overview cards.- Klassiek & techniek.Table of ContentsIntroduction1. Paris & the Ile-de-France2.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC The Nomad's Path: Travels in the Sahel
Book SynopsisAn account of a journey across an inhospitable region with former Tubu rebels at a time of Tuareg insurgency, when explosions from landmines rocked towns, mountains were overrun with militia and journalists were being thrown into desert prisons for speaking to rebel leaders. The Manga is one of Africa’s most remote and wild regions: a hostile and unforgiving landscape inhabited by nomads like the hardy Tubu. Situated in south-eastern Niger, and in the shadow of the Old Salt Road, it has been mislaid by the modern world; no Caucasian had been seen there in living memory. Framed against this volatile atmosphere, The Nomad's Path is the beginning of a wider enterprise: the exploration of the region’s history and the ongoing consequences of the Tuaregs’ 1885 disenfranchisement. It explores the centuries-old link between the Barbary Coast and the Sahel along the Old Salt Road, once trodden by corsairs and slaves, camels and the armies of empires, while conjuring to life a lost wilderness and those who survive within it. At its heart, however, is a journey across the Sahel with the Tubu nomads. It is their tale and a window into the nebulous Manga. Carr perceptively observes Tubu culture, their harmonious relationship with Islam and their interaction with the Manga’s other peoples: the Fulani, Kanuri and Arabs. Woven with tales of rebellion, lost settlements and civilizations, explorers - both intrepid and mad - and an epic seventeenth century odyssey, Carr captures a sense of the intangible nature of the Sahel’s Manga. This is a timely and evocative portrait of the Tubu - a people living on the tide-line of the Sahara and the edge of the world.Table of ContentsList of Illustrations Acknowledgements Introduction The Nomad's Path Epilogue Glossary The Call to Prayer Ritual Prayer Maps
