The Kerry Way runs around Ireland's most beautiful peninsula for
130 miles (210 km), starting from Killarney. It features mountain
scenery and coastal panoramas, and is rich in geology and wildlife.
The book contains large-scale mapping, 100 colour photographs and
is robust and rainproof. It has a special feature on the ascent of
Carrauntoohil, Ireland's highest peak. This third edition has been
fully revised and updated following a comprehensive route check in
2021.
This guidebook describes 25 coastal and inland day walks covering
the whole of the county of Essex, stretching from the Lea Valley in
the west and the Thames in the south over to the North Sea and up
to the River Stour in the north. Walks range from 4 to 18 miles and
are mostly circular. Also included is a description of the Essex
Way which crosses the county in 11 stages from Manor Park, on the
fringes of London, to the port of Harwich - a distance of 96 miles.
The walks are suitable for all abilities and there are shorter
alternatives for many of the longer routes. With a huge variety of
scenery and walking landscapes, Essex surprises and delights in
equal measure. It boasts a 350-mile coastline (which, away from the
busy seaside resorts, is barely known), numerous estuaries and
river valleys, great and ancient forests, and more green lanes than
any other English county except Dorset. Each walk is described
step-by-step, illustrated with OS map extracts and packed with
historical, and geological information about the landscape the
route passes through.
A land of enormous proportions, countless secrets, and

Union--it encompasses terrain as diverse as the Kazakh steppes, the
Karakum desert, and the Pamir mountains. In "The Lost Heart of
Asia," acclaimed, bestselling travel writer Colin Thubron carries
readers on an extraordinary journey through this little understood,
rarely visited, yet increasingly important corner of the world.

A particular feature of this 1925 Guide is the habit of quoting the
cost of buildings and structures, where known. For example, the
Forth Bridge, for which the cost is noted as having been
GBP3,500,000 (including GBP800,000 for connecting lines). By the
time of publication, the British railways had been brought into
four groups, after the ravages of the Great War. However, what was
to prove a more substantial threat to their dominance of the travel
and tourist market had already arrived - chars-a-banc and motor
'buses provided the "favourite excursions".

One day as I was browsing through our local newspaper what I saw
made my eyes sparkle. The headline said 'Secret Coverdale' and that
made my memories drift far away. I have spent more than 25 years up
there, making many friends and acquaintances. The story in my
newspaper was saying how Secret Coverdale looks and how
holiday-making tourists miss it as they tour around the Yorkshire
Dales. They surely do. All the beautiful picturesque scenery they
are missing. I thought to myself, I will write a brief story about
Coverdale and send it to the newspaper to let their readers have a
read of my times I spent up there. So, pen to paper, I wrote and
wrote and kept on writing, and by the time I had finished I had
more than 200 pages. Far too much to put in a newspaper, so I sent
it to my publishers instead and they published it into a book. I
tell of many things about Secret Coverdale, meeting many old
characters of the dale and all the dales which surround Coverdale,
all 700 square miles of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Together
with 200 splendid photographs I took, making my book in excess of
400 pages, all in glossy hardback. You could say I know Secret
Coverdale like the back of my hand.

Rome is a great place to visit -- but imagine the delights of living there. Long in love with the Eternal City, Alan Epstein has been reveling in life as a resident since 1995. In As the Romans Do, he reveals the city and its people in all their facets and contradictions: their gregarious caffé culture, inborn artistic flair, passionate appreciation of good food, instinctive mistrust of technology, showy sex appeal, ingrained charm, and much more. He unveils a place alive with pleasure and paradox, both pagan and Christian, Western and Middle Eastern. Rome is where one can relax, reflect, revel, and rebel -- all between the morning's cappucino and the evening's grappa.
