AIR OF MANN
: Aerials Views of the Isle of Man
[Roy McMillan]
There is something magical about being able to see the world from above. In this book, Michael Thompson reveals an island not just alive with history but also disclosing both its present and some hints of its future. From coastal views to townscapes, over glens and hamlets, "Air of Mann" takes a snapshot of the lsle of Mann at the beginning of the 21st century. It shows the development of the island as more people and businesses locate here, illustrating how the island is coping with the changes of the last decade. But the view from the skies also shows just how much the past is still imprinted on the land, and how much the land itself determines the Island's character. Michael Thompson is well-known for his work capturing the Spirit of Mann on film, but here he gives a fresh approach to familiar landscapes, and a chance to see the island as never before. It is a view of the lsle of Man which will make this book something to treasure for those who know and love the Island, as well as those who have yet to discover it.

AUSTRALIA
: The Red Continent
[Hartmut Röder]
The Australian continent has been separated from the rest of the world by the surrounding oceans for 200 million years. This has led to the development of a unique flora and fauna. Enormous forests in the south contrast with the tropical rain forest of the north and the dry regions of the west. Besides the Koalas, so loved by everyone, and the clumsy kangaroos, Australia is inhabited by a wide range of endemic animals ranging from tiny lizards to dangerous crocodiles. The bird population in particular is very rich with its unique and colourful parade of feathered creatures. Large regions have been placed on UNESCO's World Cultural heritage list. The many breathtaking photographs in this book leave a lasting impression of this continent which is one of the most beautiful in the world.

BERLIN
: City Panoramas 360°
[Falk Eisleben, Helga Neubauer & Wolfgang Vorbeck]
Experience the fascinating world of panoramic photography with the "City Panoramas 36Oº" series, which presents the world's most beautiful cities. With a panoramic view, you can enjoy the famous sights of a city at a glance. In this volume, Falk Eisleben captures the flair of the colourful, historic capital of Germany. Pariser Platz, Gendarmenmarkt, Kurfürstendamm, Bebelplatz, Alexanderplatz, Potsdamer Platz and many other squares reflect the multitude of architectural styles and the city's quality of life. Berlin's fast pace, temperament and turbulence are more than characteristics of a city -- they signify a unique attitude towards life in general. Elegant boulevards in exclusive districts give way to prefabricated buildings of the former East Berlin. Affluence, glamour and quality of life are just as much part of the famous "Berlin air" as poverty and military regime. "You need hair on your teeth and a certain roughness to survive in Berlin", observed Goethe, who was certainly none too delicate himself, while the poet Jean Paul said that "Berlin is more a part of the world than a city". They are both right.

BLUE ICE
: Travels in Antarctica
[Don Pinnock]
To most people, Antarctica is the white smudge at the bottom of a world map. Few realise that it's almost the size of Africa and that its wild weather and currents dominate the planet. Fewer, still, know that Cape Town has been the gateway to Antarctic expeditions for hundreds of years. Cook, Shackleton, Scott and many more all began their southern voyages from Table Bay. This book explores the frozen continent and the voyages of discovery from an African perspective -- and comes up with some surprising connections.

BUTTERTEA AT SUNRISE
: A Year in the Bhutan Himalaya
[Britta Das]
Often seen as a magical paradise at the end of the world, Bhutan is inaccessible to most travellers. Set against the dramatic scenery of the Himalaya, this beguiling memoir recalls hardships and happiness in a land almost untouched by the West. When Britta Das goes to work as a physiotherapist in a remote village hospital, her good intentions are put to the test amid monsoons, fleas, and startling conditions. But as she visits homes in the mountains and learns the mysteries of Tantric Buddhism, the country captivates her very soul. Gaining insights into the traditions of the mystical kingdom, Britta makes friends, falls in love, and battles illness. Throughout it all, as she writes, she worries about the "destructive nearness of technology" and fears that Bhutan’s charm and innocence may soon be lost. Still, Bhutan has endured for centuries, and there is no denying that the country has transformed her life forever.

Marty Essen has written a book that entertains, informs, and poignantly reminds us that we all share a small planet.

DETOURS -- A GENERATION ON
: A Journey Through Small-Town New Zealand
[Neville Peat]
Summer, 1981. A young Neville Peat set out from Cape Reinga on his new 10-speed bike 'Blue, aiming to cycle through small-town New Zealand from north to south, all the way to Stewart Island. The week before Easter, he reached his destination. He wrote a book about it, Detours: A journey through small-town New Zealand, which sold lots of copies and was broadcast on radio. Many times in the intervening years, usually on anniversaries of the journey -- ten years, fifteen years, twenty years -- he wished to try a repeat journey, but life held other challenges. Now, as a leading author and in the age of the personal computer and cell phone, a very different world, he has revisited many of the towns and regions, not on a bicycle, but by car. In Detours -- A generation on, he reflects once again on how small-town New Zealand is doing.

DISCOVER NATIVE AMERICA
: Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico & Utah
[Tish Minear & Janet Limon]
The Ancient Pueblo people, also known mistakenly as the Anasazi, were a prehistoric Native American culture located around the present day "Four Corners" areas of the Southwest United States. This area encompasses the Colorado Plateau, and extends from central New Mexico to southern Nevada, Utah and Arizona. The topography of this panoramic region varies greatly, including high plateaus, vast horizontal mesas, sleep walled canyons, and sandstone windows and bridges sculpted by water erosion. In cliff areas with harder stone, rock overhangs formed and served as building sites for adobe dwellings often accessible only by rope or rock climbing. Numerous national parks and monuments such as Mesa Verde, Grand Canyon, Sunset Crater and Chaco Canyon provide stunning scenery and a well-preserved window into the area's fascinating prehistoric past. Divided geographically, this expanded edition includes tips on visiting reservations, attending ceremonies, buying arts and crafts, and adjusting to "Indian time". The revised format provides easy reader access to a wealth of information, and includes dozens of new sites, selected places to stay, eat and shop, a calendar of various powwows and other tribal ceremonies, a section on language, points of interest, maps, and 16 pages of full colour photographs. The book also examines locations such as the Gila Cliff Dwellings Monument, the Taos Pueblo, and The Denver Art Museum, which houses an extensive collection of North American native art.

ESSENTIAL GUIDE TO MOTORCYCLE TRAVEL
: Tips, Technology, Advanced Techniques
[Dale Coyner]
This book is written to help motorcyclists prepare themselves and their motorcycle for travelling long distances over extended periods. Whether you are getting ready for a weekend trip beyond your home turf, or for a transcontinental odyssey lasting several years, Coyner’s book details the fundamentals for riding in comfort, safety, and convenience. In three major sections, the book covers trip planning, rider preparation, and outfitting the motorcycle. An appropriate level of planning for a long motorcycle trip can help you maximise enjoyment and minimise irritating annoyances on the road. Coyner lays out the steps for planning a worry-free trip. A successful trip should start with the rider physically and mentally prepared. On the road, having good riding gear can make a dramatic difference in comfort and safety as the weather changes from dry to wet, and from hot to cold. Coyner describes the important aspects of personal preparation and describes the major kinds of riding gear and how they work to control body temperature and moisture. As motorcycle technology has evolved, so have after market accessories, which are made to address virtually every special need. Coyner shows you step-by-step how electrical modifications can be made, and provides specific sections on high-performance lighting and on being conspicuous, GPS and other cockpit instruments, entertainment and communication devices, cameras and camcorders, ergonomic enhancements, suspension improvements, luggage and storage additions, and trailers.

[Diane Eaton & Allison Eaton]
With its island-studded Inside Passage, towering fjords, open-ocean beaches, quaint villages and sparkling cities, the BC coast is known as one of the world's great maritime cruising destinations.

This indispensable book shows how you can use BC's world-class ferry and coastal road system to reach the coast's most spectacular places in the comfort of your family car. And for those who want to go farther, lace on your hiking boots, grab a paddle, hop aboard a floatplane, or switch into four-wheel-drive and head off into the back of beyond -- there's a lot more than just road travel in this book. Newly revised and updated in 2008, each chapter has simple, straightforward "getting there" directions, information on recreation opportunities and local must-sees and points of interest. To inspire readers along the way and help dream up new trips, the book includes anecdotes and facts on local plants, trees, wildlife and sea life -- all infused with the enthusiasm of two writers whose love of the coast spills over onto every page.

GETTING A LIFE IN NORTH CYPRUS
[Adrian Fleetwood]
The author spent most of his professional life in marketing, firstly with the electrical appliance division of Thorn EMI, where he was marketing director of their four brands, Bendix, Kenwood, Moffat and Tricity. His later years were with Dutch Multi-national, Philips Electronics, when he was responsible for their personal care products in the UK, including the Philishave brand. Adrian, with his wife Meryl, first went to the Turkish Cypriot area of Cyprus on holiday in 1989 and made frequent visits thereafter. In 1999, they decided to try living there following Adrian's retirement the previous year. After over two years renting a villa in Bellapais, a place made famous by Lawrence Durrell in his book "Bitter Lemons", they bought some land in the nearby village of Ozankoy, about two miles to the easy of Kyrenia and built their home. Packed with information and comment about Cypriots and all things Cypriot, this book is also a widely-ranging account of their experiences before and after settling in the northern part of this ever-fascinating island. Processing steadily through the pages are many interesting and amusing characters both Cypriot and British, the latter chiefly resident ex-pats, all of whom are treated with the utmost sympathy and affection.

JOURNEY INTO WILLIAM BLAKE'S LONDON
[Hugo Larman]
This volume explores the city that both inspired and appalled the visionary poet and artist William Blake. A stunning mix of Blake's own art, paintings and engravings by contemporaries, photographs, and maps brings alive the character of Blake's London. Blake reacted to his surroundings viscerally -- the countryside to the north of London made him physically ill, but he was inspired by the city's great buildings, such as St. Paul's Cathedral and Westminster Abbey. Introducing the vivid and often eccentric characters who made up Blake's personal and intellectual world and influenced his art and poetry, this guide takes readers to the taverns, parks, and squares that Blake frequented, as well as many of the houses in which he lived.

LANGUAGE & TRAVEL GUIDE TO ROMANIA
[Rosemary K Rennon]
Rosemary Rennon discovered Romania in 1993 when she went hunting for the small village where her father was born. She was captivated by its scenery and by the simplicity of a country just awakening from its long communist nightmare. Unfamiliar to many due to its long isolation, Romania is comprised of five distinct regions resulting from both their unique landscapes and their historical populations of Dacians, Romanians, Germans, Hungarians and Turks. In addition to its rolling green hills and valleys, with the arc of the Carpathian mountain chain in its centre, the country's southeastern region on the Black Sea provides a massive wildlife refuge, as well as miles of sandy beach resorts. Its cities are filled with outstanding architectural gems and modern activities. All this, plus a fascinating, turbulent history and the lovely Romanian tongue-considered by many to be the original romance language-belong to a culture one will never want to leave.

LAST HURRAH! BOOK & DVD
: From Beijing to Arnhem 2005
[Des Molloy]
Also available as Book only and DVD only. Des Molloy and Dick Huurdeman look like the sort of guys who should be sedately steering a sleigh in a Santa parade, not riding old single-banger British bikes half way across the world through some of the most difficult and remote terrain imaginable. Des' son Steve joined this intrepid pair as cameraman and general factotum for the highs and lows of an incident-packed three-month trek from Beijing to Arnhem on 'Penelope', a 1965 Yorkshire-made 650cc Panther, and 'Dutch Courage', a 1954 Norton 600. The route took them across the Northern-most of the Old Silk Roads over the roof of the world through China, Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Pakistan, the burning deserts in Iran, Turkey, Greece, Italy, Germany and finally to Arnhem in Holland. The journey was as traumatic as it was inspiring! Was this idiocy or odyssey? Decide for yourself as you read Des Molloy's account of their adventures and misadventures.

LONG & WINDING ROAD
: Discovering the Pleasures & Treasures of Highway 97
[Jim Couper]
Highway 97 winds from Weed, California, to the Yukon border -- a distance of 3200 kilometres (2042 miles), making it North America's longest south-north roadway. In Oregon and Washington, it takes you through lava beds and deserts, arid uplands and forests, orchards and vineyards. Above the Canadian border, roadside vegetable and fruit stands abound en route to BC's sunny Okanagan, home to 60 outstanding wineries. Turquoise lakes, mighty rivers and marble canyons can be seen as one moves north to the historic Cariboo region, where endless trout lakes, rolling ranchland, gold-rush lore and friendly people make it a land for all seasons. And then there's the raw, untamed north, a frontier unto itself. Travelling Highway 97 is about scenery, leisure and the joy of skirting a lake or following a river on old-fashioned, two-lane blacktop. It's about coffee and pie at a roadside diner where only the customers change from decade to decade. It's about dusty towns and dynamic cities, gorges and ghost towns, past and present. In this information-packed book that features many of his own striking colour photographs, Jim Couper takes you on a trip from one end of this unsung highway to the other, mixing historical anecdotes with information on local events and points of interest. Covering everything from hot springs and volcanoes to pioneer villages and wineries, Couper has created an entertaining, practical guide that will be invaluable to anyone interested in this fascinating road.

MISSOURI
: An Illustrated History
[Sean McLachlan]
Originally part of the Louisiana Purchase, Missouri became a state in 1821. Nicknamed "The Gateway to the West" because it was as departure point for Westward-bound settlers, Missouri was also the starting point and return destination for the Lewis and Clark expedition. Interestingly, Missouri has voted for the winning candidate in twenty-five of the past twenty-six presidential elections, with the sole exception of Adlai Stevenson in 1956. The state's most famous son, the writer Mar Twain, set his classic novels, Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn on the islands and in the caves around his boyhood home of Hannibal, Missouri. Other Missourians of renown include poet T. S. Eliot, dancers Ginger Rogers and Josephine Baker, film directors John Houston and Robert Altman, educators George Washington Carver and Dale Carnegie, and the outlaw Jesse James. This is a lively and thorough account of Missouri's exciting and pivotal role in history-from the first Native American inhabitants to the territorial period, from the agony of the Civil War to the freewheeling jazz and Prohibition eras, from labour and civil rights struggles to the triumph of the St. Louis Arch. Descriptions of these tumultuous and glorious times come from the diaries, newspaper articles, journals and letters of ordinary Missourians -- reporters, soldiers, merchants and wives – who provide first-person testimony to the march of history. Over 50 photographs of leading figures and events, maps of territory drawn and redrawn, a timeline. and illustrations of political cartoons, advertisements, and signage bring the past vividly to life in this history of the "Show-Me" state.
