The Roman Remains of Brittany, Normandy and the Loire Valley is the
third in a series of companion guides. The only specialist
guidebook to the region, it provides context to many sites that
deserve to be better known, some only recently conserved for the
public. There are plenty of places to chose from: fifty-four
treated at length plus fourteen shorter entries. There is an
extended chapter dealing with the historical background and two
feature sections. The book is easy to use as there are a large
number of maps, plans and colour photographs. To ensure accuracy,
the author personally followed aqueduct routes, visited hidden
temples, admired ramparts, and visited all the museums. Through his
writing a visit is transformed into an experience.
This guide is packed with practical, interpretative information on
the most commonly encountered animals and plants of the Lowveld -
information that is usually only available if you have a game
ranger or field guide by your side in the bush! It teaches people
how to observe, identify and interpret what they see in the bush in
a meaningful way, without having to wade through the reams of
technical information found in most other field guides. The
reader-friendly mind-map layout of the book, with pictures linked
to brief but informative text boxes, makes pertinent information
accessible at a glance. Other features include colour-coded
chapters for ease of reference, while blocked information and icons
in the mammals and trees sections provide technical details in a
concise form. Hundreds of stunning interpretative images,
highlighted keywords and a flowchart structure to each spread
direct the eye to the different topics on each featured species,
allowing the reader to pick out whatever is of interest to him or
her. Game Ranger in your Backpack is an essential companion for
amateur naturalists of all descriptions including first-time
international visitors to South Africa's bushveld, annual local
holidaymakers or aspiring 'game rangers'.

Your ultimate guide to planning a long-distance voyage. Jimmy
Cornell is the undisputed authority on long distance voyaging. In
the 3rd edition of this book, he and his son Ivan help the would-be
voyager plan their trip step by step. Aimed at those seriously
contemplating (or dreaming about) an extended cruise, this book
details what is involved in developing the right strategy. Amongst
many important aspects, Jimmy and Ivan consider: - World weather
systems - Strategies for sailing long or short circuits in the
Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans - The pros and cons of
different routes at different times of year (taking into account
weather, currents, wind directions and strengths, likelihood of
fog, icebergs, gales, piracy etc) - Practicalities (repair
facilities, common gear breakage on extended voyages, places to
leave the boat to fly home if necessary, health considerations,
provisioning for a long trip, personal safety measures, and much
more) Written from a completely international point of view, World
Voyage Planner will help sailors from any country going to any
other country to achieve a safe and enjoyable cruise.
'What Jimmy Cornell doesn't know about cruising isn't worth
knowing' - Yachting World One of the most influential cruising
yachtsmen writing today, Jimmy Cornell has sailed over 200,000
miles on all the oceans of the world, including three
circumnavigations and voyages to the Arctic and Antarctic. His
successful guide to sailing around the world, World Cruising
Routes, has helped many aspirational voyagers turn their dreams
into reality and follow in his footsteps. Here in its extensively
revised third edition is its partner, covering all the land-based
essentials for cruisers, including new updates throughout on the
long-lasting impact of climate change, Brexit and Covid. This
substantial handbook profiles every cruising destination in the
world, with information on cruising attractions, history, culture,
climate (including average monthly temperatures and rainfall, plus
tropical storm seasons), local laws, regulations and formalities,
facilities, plus public holidays and events, emergency telephone
numbers, and much more. Lavishly illustrated throughout, it is not
only a must-have onboard reference work for long distance sailors,
but will undoubtedly inspire the adventurous to sail where they
have never sailed before.
