Beautiful Dorset is a book that showcases photographically the most
beautiful places in this southwest county. Divided into six
chapters, the first is a mix of text and photos, the remainder a
series of photo essays. Chapter 1 is a general introduction,
describing the county's landscape, wildlife, history, culture and
tourism. Chapter 2 covers photographically urban Dorset, the towns
of Poole, Bournemouth and Christchurch. Chapter 3 showcases the
towns and countryside of inland east Dorset. Chapter 4's photo
essay focuses on the eastern half of the Jurassic Coast, plus the
Purbeck area. Chapter 5 concentrates on the western half of the
Jurassic Coast, including Weymouth and Lyme Regis. Chapter 6's
photo essay covers the inland parts of west Dorset, including
Dorchester and Sherborne. Beautiful Dorset is the fourth in a
series of Portrait of a County books, following on from Beautiful
Devon, Beautiful Cornwall, Beautiful Somerset and Wild Southwest.
Come on a journey along the visually and historically rich Maine
coast from Kittery, on the southern border, and east to Eastport,

have wrecked and where lighthouses warn of the rocks, stop at towns
where large sailing schooners were built, and visit villages where
fishing and lobstering activities continue today. The 86 images are
only a sample of the eye-captivating and colorful sights and scenes
to be found from early morning into night along the Maine coast.

This book explains to the hillwalker, in easy to understand but
accurate terms, how geology has shaped the landscape of South
Wales. A selection of 16 guided walks is used to illustrate this in
terms of what can be seen on the ground. The hills, valleys and
coasts of South Wales are some of Britain's most celebrated and
iconic landscapes. The coasts of Gower and Pembroke, and the
shapely peaks of the Brecon Beacons are especially popular. These
varied landscapes reflect a highly diverse geology. From the
rolling hills of Mid and West Wales, the spectacular heights of the
Brecon Beacons, the rocky outcrops of Fforest Fawr and Mynydd Du,
the valleys and moors of 'the coalfield', to the delightful scenery
of the southern and western coasts - each has its own fascinating
geological story to tell. This book is for the walker who sets out
among these hills and coasts and who wants to learn a bit more
about the forces that forged this landscape. The first part is an
account of the geological history of South Wales, while the second
contains 16 walks where you can see evidence of the geology, along
with some of the most outstanding scenery of the region. The author
has concentrated on what you can see as you walk around the hills,
pointing to conspicuous, easily seen features in rocks and the
overall shape of the terrain in accounting for the present day
landscape.Also in this Rock Trails series by Paul Gannon are
Lakeland, Peak District, Scottish Highlands and Snowdonia.
Accompanying the immense success of the Hebridean diaries and
address books, Birlinn has added a birthday book to its attractive
range of Hebridean stationery. Illustrated throughout with Mairi
Hedderwick's beautiful sketches of the Hebrides, this hardback book
is the perfect way to remember birthdays of friends and family. It
also makes an excellent gift.
