One of the great pleasures of camping is cooking in the out-of-doors within beautiful surroundings. Whatever your mode of travel, whether it be backpacking in the high altitude, camping in a tent, pop-up trailer, camper, travel trailer, motor home or boating the closeness to nature is rewarding. The wonderful aroma of campfire smoke, the vista of a lake, stream and mountains, the animals and birds close at hand, and the smell of evergreens enhance the experience. The dry desert camping among smoke trees with lizards scurrying around is satisfying also.

To travel through Italy is as close as one gets to being in paradise. For centuries, writers, artists, architects, and merchants have been drawn here, inspired by the beauty of Venice, Florence, Naples, and Rome. Countless books, paintings, poems, and sculptures are evidence of its undying appeal, and over the past 60 years, the country has become one of the world's top travel and holiday destinations. The loveliness of Italy is, if not eternal, certainly enduring, and the easygoing and relaxed Italian lifestyle is still unrivaled. Here, some of Italy's most amazing landscapes and diverse regions are brought to life, like Tuscany, Umbria, the Amalfi Coast, and, no less magical, the Aeolian Islands off the coast of Sicily. In these mythical surroundings are legendary hotels full of atmosphere, where novels are set, movies are made, weddings are celebrated, and famous love stories consummated: Villa d'Este on Lake Como, the Pellicano Hotel in Porto Ercole, the Il San Pietro on the Amalfi Coast, and the Palazzo Margherita in Basilicata-to name just a few. Angelika Taschen also reveals where to find more secret and hidden jewels-from the Locanda Cipriani, a destination for food lovers on the island of Torcello, to the romantic Castello di Vicarello in Tuscany and the atmospheric Masseria Moroseta in Puglia.

This informative and entertaining book captures the atmosphere and essence of caravanning and motoring in the 1970s. In an era of high oil prices, industrial unrest and when the shine of the 1960s seemed to be fading, caravanning was an ideal solution for those who chose to holiday in the UK and abroad without breaking the bank. Drawing on his unique knowledge of caravans, Andrew Jenkinson not only describes the typical caravan holiday of the 1970s, he also includes fascinating detail about the different types and makes of caravan, including Swift and others, as well as the bestselling cars that towed them - from the Sunbeam Rapier to the Ford Capri. The book also discusses essential 1970s caravanning equipment, including portable TVs, stereo tape players, push-button radios, barbeques and portable fridges. The author shows how comparatively easy caravanning was in the 1970s compared with the present, including ease of access to the countryside and even the beach. Caravan sites also developed to provide ever more lavish facilities. Accompanied by period photographs of both 1970s caravans and cars, and drawing on the author's unrivalled expertise, this book is an informative and enjoyable guide to caravanning in the 1970s.

'Tis the season for finding love... and the perfect bookWith just two weeks until Christmas, everything in Clove Lore should be perfect. But the latest holidaymaker to the Borrow a Bookshop is feeling far from festive... Icelandic ex-bookseller Magnus Sturluson might be surrounded by love stories in the Bookshop, but he's nursing a sadness that not even fiction can fix. When Alexandra Robinson finds herself stranded in Clove Lore, she finds a safe place to hide from heartbreak. After all, all that's waiting for her at home is a cheater boyfriend and the memories of her parents. As Alex finds herself embraced by the quirky village community, she finds her tough exterior thawing - and as she grows closer to Magnus, she finds an equally soft heart under his gruff shell. It seems that Clove Lore is working its magic once again - until a great flood on Christmas Eve brings devastation in its wake. It's up to Magnus and Alex to batten down the hatches and help bring the village back together again, while also introducing the locals to the Icelandic tradition of the jolabokaflod - Yule book flood - where families and friends gather on Christmas Eve to exchange books and read together. But can Magnus and Alex truly rescue the ruins of the village, and salvage their Christmas spirit? Or is there another complication lurking even closer than they thought?
