The Yorkshire Dales combine a wild limestone landscape of high
rolling moorland gouged by dramatic caves and cascading waterfalls
with peaceful farmland carpeted in wildflowers and dotted with
ruined abbeys, ancient stone walls and barns, and timeless villages
waiting to be discovered.The 40 moderate walks in this collection
from award winning publisher Pocket Mountains highlight the very
best the area has to offer and include adventures in Wharfedale,
Malhamdale, Nidderdale, Ribblesdale, Wensleydale, Swaledale and
Dentdale. Many routes make use of sections of established
long-distance trails such as the Pennine Way and the Dales Way.
A collection of stunning photographs capturing the essence of
fashionable London, from the known--Annie Lennox and her daughters,
Emma Watson, Russell Brand, and more--to the unknown"I spent the
last 30 years working and living in this great city and it is a
hard place to leave. Apart from the architecture and history it is
a place of wonderfully diverse and gifted people. New York may
pride itself on being a melting pot but London has this street
fashion thing which keeps on and on popping up new talent and new
personalities. When I say personalities this is not limited to the
rich and famous. London produces wave upon wave of eccentric,
engaging, unique, talented, courageous individuals. There is
something 'cool' about London and its people, whether they are born
and bred there are just passing through for a while." --Chris
Craymer"Top fashion photographer Chris Craymer shares his portraits
of London denizens who embody London style--people in his world,
friends, people he has worked with, and people he aspired to meet.
His subjects include the famous--Robert Pattinson, Peaches Geldof,
designer Bruce Oldfield, Liam Gallagher--and the not-so-well
known--an architect, budding ballerina, fashion editors, designers,
artists, photographers, students, hairdressers, make-up artists,
and his own daughter.

The go-to Tatra Mountains travel guide for discovering the best
walks and car tours. Strap on your boots and discover Tatra
Mountains on foot with the Sunflower Tatra Mountains travel guide.
And on the days when your feet may have had enough, enjoy some
spectacular scenery on one of our legendary car tours. The
Sunflower Tatra Mountains guide is indispensable for hiking in the
Tatra Mountains or seeing Tatra Mountains by car. For those who
love mountain walks, there can be few places where hikers are
better catered for than in the Polish Tatras and the Slovakian
Tatras. Skilfully constructed paths make hiking in very rough
terrain comparatively easy; signposting and waymarking are almost
universally excellent. Hillwalkers will be in their element here,
but there are often shorter, easy suggestions for the less hardy or
they can create their own treks from the detailed maps in the book,
which show all waymarked routes. In addition, those touring
Slovakia or Poland by car will find that the tours lead to dozens
of short walks and picnic spots, so that even those with little
walking experience can make the most of these wonderful mountains.
In each of the six national parks covered in the book you can look
forward to sampling local drinks and dishes at one or more of the
mountain inns. Walking in the national parks featured in this guide
will undoubtedly be a very rewarding experience - the enjoyment of
magnificent scenery and the excellent facilities for hikers, and
perhaps also for successfully undertaking what may seem quite
daunting walks in relatively high mountains. The experience can be
rewarding on another level: being among people who are obviously
enjoying themselves, who don't seem to need an array of the latest
outdoor fashions, and who are quietly proud of their mountain
heritage. Whatever your age or ability we've got some glorious
walks and car tours to ensure you have a memorable holiday in Tatra
Mountains. Inside the Sunflower Tatra Mountains guide book you'll
find: 90 long and short walks for all ages and abilities - each
walk is graded so you can easily match your ability to the level of
walk Topographical walking maps - give you a clear sense of the
surrounding terrain Free downloadable gps tracks - for the techies
Satnav guidance to walk starts for motorists 7 car tours and
fold-out touring map - for easy reference on your tour Strolls to
idyllic picnic spots - enjoy our recommendations for where to
picnic along the way Timetables for public transport - ideal if you
want to link two walks or avoid hiring a car on your holiday Online
update service for the latest information Whether you tour the
islands by car or explore on foot, we look forward to showing you
around.
Music made in Akron symbolized an attitude more so than a singular sound. Crafted by kids hell-bent on not following their parents into the rubber plants, the music was an intentional antithesis of Top 40 radio. Call it punk or call it new wave, but in a short few years, major labels signed Chrissie Hynde, Devo, the Waitresses, Tin Huey, the Bizarros, the Rubber City Rebels and Rachel Sweet. They had their own bars, the Crypt and the Bank. They had their own label, Clone Records. They even had their own recording space, Bushflow Studios. London's Stiff Records released an Akron compilation album, and suddenly there were "Akron Nights" in London clubs and CBGB was waiving covers for people with Akron IDs. Author Calvin Rydbom of the "Akron Sound" Museum remembers that short time when the Rubber City was the place.
