Hillside Publications Wharfedale Biking Guide
Book SynopsisThis is the third in a series of local biking guides, joining Aire Valley Biking Guide covering the neighbouring area down towards Keighley and Bradford. This new title deals with Wharfedale in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, based on the popular visitor centre of Grassington. The six selected runs average a modest 8 miles each, and concentrate on quality of terrain and surroundings in preference to quantity and 'head-down' mileage. Places visited include Linton, Mastiles Lane, Bolton Abbey and Appletreewick. As much of the routes as possible are off-road, and surfaced sections are largely on quiet country lanes. All have been checked for accuracy and legal access. There is relative ease of accessibility from the West Yorkshire and East Lancashire towns to this favourite valley of the Dales. Concise route descriptions and sketch maps are complemented by background information and illustrations capturing the flavour of the surroundings. The rides have easily located starting points and wherever possible feature refreshment halts along the way. The author's many years of walking in the district have served as a useful pointer to the best biking routes.

Little Bookroom,U.S. Literary St. Petersburg
Book SynopsisMuch of Russian literature is St. Petersburg literature: set in the city, about the city, or written by writers who lived there. For each of the fifteen profiled writers, there is a biographical sketch focusing on his or her relationship to the city and a sense of his or her work, along with a list of St. Petersburg sites associated with the writer and the literary works. Travelers can wander through the museum where a teenage Vladimir Nabokov romanced his girlfriend and see the prison where Anna Akhmatova was inspired to write her poem about the Great Terror. They can find the statue that comes to life in Pushkin’s poem The Bronze Horseman and visit the square where Crime and Punishment’s murderer/hero kneels to ask God’s forgiveness.The images included are particularly striking: a photo taken in the courtroom where the young Joseph Brodsky made his electrifying defense of his credentials as a poet; a portrait of Akhmatova, a symbol of artistic integrity in the face of the most severe persecution; and documentary photographs spanning the upheavals of twentieth century Russia. Authors included are: Anna Akhmatova, Andrei Bely, Aleksandr Blok, Joseph Brodsky, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Nikolai Gogol, Daniil Kharms, Vladimir Mayakovsky, Osip Mandelstam, Vladimir Nabokov, Alexander Pushkin, Leo Tolstoy, Ivan Turgenev, Yevgeny Zamyatin, Mikhail Zoshchenko.
