The Peddars Way and Norfolk Coast Path National Trail is an
easy-to-follow 130-mile trail that combines the best of inland and
coastal walking in Norfolk, and one that, being well waymarked,
largely flat and within easy reach of public transport for most of
its length, is ideal for people new to long-distance walks.
Described in 11 stages, the route can be walked in just over a week
but also easily split into day walks or over a series of weekends,
with full information about access to start and finish points for
each stage by public transport. This handy guidebook is illustrated
throughout with extracts of OS 1:50K mapping and stunning
photographs depicting the Trail in all seasons and describes points
of interest along the way, including the Norfolk Songlines
sculptures, and also facilities available in the towns and
villages. The trail is a walk of two halves. The Peddars Way begins
at Knettishall Heath in Suffolk and follows the route of an old
Roman road for over 40 miles to Holme-next-the-Sea, where it meets
the Norfolk Coast Path (which begins nearby, at Hunstanton). This
then follows the spectacular Norfolk coast to the seaside town of
Hopton-on-Sea.
Don't just see the sights-get to know the people. Malaysia presents
visitors with an exciting and fascinating medley of
cultures--Malay, Chinese, Indian, Arab, Eurasian, Dayak, and
aboriginal. Though very much a modern nation state, its diverse
communities retain a considerable amount of their unique heritage
and, in its customs, religions, festivals, costume, cuisine,
languages, and architecture, Malaysian society perfectly
illustrates the virtues of a vibrant pluralism. Culture Smart!
Malaysia sets out to help you navigate this rich and complex
cultural mix. It provides a succinct and straightforward
introduction to Malaysian history and society, explains the deeper
core values of the different ethnic groups, and guides you through
the maze of Malaysian etiquette and behaviour for both social and
business settings. Have a more meaningful and successful time
abroad through a better understanding of the local culture.
Chapters on values, attitudes, customs, and daily life will help
you make the most of your visit, while tips on etiquette and
communication will help you navigate unfamiliar situations and
avoid faux pas.

One hundred and fifty years ago a young Maltese from the city of
Senglea, Andrea De Bono, went to live in darkest Africa. He spent
almost twenty years of his life in those harsh equatorial regions,
traveling and exploring, bartering for ivory with friendly natives
and fighting hostile tribesmen. De Bono had a private army, a river
flotilla and a string of trading posts. Strong and brave,
acclimatized and experienced, he had ample time to become the first
European to discover the sources of the White Nile, which had been
an enigma in Europe for more than two thousand years. However,
Andrea De Bono allowed this golden opportunity to cover himself and
his small island home with glory to slip right through his fingers;
at one time he was just a few miles away from one of the great
sources of the mighty African river. This is the story of an
ordinary man who pushed himself to the limit. Facing family losses,
political intrigues and petty jealousies, he was falsely accused of
slave trafficking. And here he showed true grit. This and his
readiness to help his fellow explorers, Speke and Grant, reveal a
nobler nature than the terms 'trader' and 'frontiersman' imply.
Excellently researched, well illustrated and colourfully told, this
insightful biography throws light on an unusual corner of history
and human endeavour.

A guidebook to 43 circular day walks covering the northern and
eastern Yorkshire Dales. The walks range between 3 and 11.5 miles
in length, and there are suggestions for devising longer days by
combing routes. Step by step route directions include lots of
information about the area, and each walk is illustrated with clear
OS mapping and vibrant photographs. From Pateley Bridge and
Aysgarth in the East to Kirkby Stephen and Richmond in the north,
each valley has a character and history of its own and this guide
covers the varied fell and dale landscapes of the Howgills,
Mallerstang, Swaledale, Wensleydale, Coverdale and Nidderdale. The
north and eastern regions of the Yorkshire Dales are full of wild,
rugged fell tops carved by limestone crags, deep scooped-out dales
with lonely farms far from villages, the ruins of medieval castles
as well as the warm bustle of Dales villages and good pubs. The
Howgills north of Sedbergh have a different look, with their wide
domes, steep sides and long miles of grassy ridges.
This guide brings together a selection of the best walks in
Ullswater and the Eastern Lakes. The walks include town trails,
coastal walks and routes through woodland and farmland and on the
high moors.
