American Carl Robinson has made his home in Australia, the world's
oldest and perhaps most unique continent. His entertaining and
intelligent guidebook gives the traveler a wonderful, and very
personalized, introduction to this enigmatic country. Blessed by a
near-perfect climate, life in Australia has a distinctive pace and
its people are among the most hospitable on earth. There are real
secrets to Australia, and this book recommends some favorites, with
the emphasis on how to have a good time, covering what to see and
how to get there, from the "Wild West" of the Northern Territory
and the natural wonders of the Great Barrier Reef to the vibrant
cities, such as Sydney and Melbourne. Many excerpts from
literature, by and about Australians, are included, along with
essays on the idiosyncrasies of "Aussie" life: the irreverent
Aussie vocabulary, pubs, wine, sports, cinema and the uneasy status
of the native Aborigines.
'AN ORIGINAL AND TIMELY ODYSSEY INTO OUR MYSTERIOUS UNDERWORLD . .
. THRILLING PROOF THAT SCIENCE AND IMAGINATION SHARE THE GROUND
BENEATH OUR FEET' Nicholas Crane, presenter of BBC2's Coast and
Great British Journeys If you were to peel back the Earth's surface
like an orange, then take a sly peek underneath, what extraordinary
things would you see? Subterranea is where the world's remaining
mysteries are yet to be found. For millennia, across nations and
cultures, it has been a hotbed of fantastical stories. It's where
humans have kept their most sacred treasures and their darkest
secrets. It's where we have found evidence of our past and may, at
some point, find an escape route for our uncertain future. But what
would we find there today? From the underground cities of
Cappadocia to smuggling tunnels on the US-Mexico border, caves full
of tiny blind dragons and a seed vault located 1300km inside the
Arctic circle, Subterranea demonstrates that the world below our
feet is every bit as vivid and evocative as the world we see around
us. Lavishly illustrated and replete with maps and photographs of
little-explored locations, Subterranea is the unique, untold and
utterly unforgettable story of our planet from the inside.
