travel guide. And on the days when your feet may have had enough,

The Sunflower Mallorca guide is indispensable for hiking in
Mallorca or seeing Mallorca by car. This was the first walking
guide for Mallorca, the guide that won Sunflower the Sunday Times
'Oscar' for best travel guide - and eventually made the island one
of the most popular walking areas in Europe. The author has lived
on Mallorca for over 35 years and knows the island intimately. She
has also been able to recheck most of the routes - as well as
adding several new walks. This completely revised 9th edition, in a
wider format with 50% more pages, features newly drawn maps and
incorporates both the GR221 ('Drystone Route') and the GR222 (still
a work in progress). These long-distance walks have been
incorporated in the day walks. There are also 6 car tours with
accompanying fold-out touring map, as well as plans of Palma and
Soller, bus, train and boat timetables and panels of information on
Mallorcan customs and features of the landscape. A free online
update service informs users of any route-change information.

In these entertaining birding anecdotes from around the world, Bo
Beolens, alias the 'Fatbirder', traverses many of the planet's wild
places, along with his wife Maggie, looking at birds - some
familiar, others exotic, a few beyond a person's most extravagant
expectations. On the way, he meets up with a wide variety of human,
animal and bird characters and experiences a plenitude of amusing
and sometimes bizarre happenstances, all told with the author's
wellknown flair and panache. Certainly, his travels are a credit to
his courage and fortitude in coming to terms with wild birds of
different plume, hue and voice. The book, with a prelude by
celebrity naturalist and broadcaster Mike Dilger, comprises
twenty-six alphabetical 'chapters' - starting with A for Anhinga,
the Snake-bird, and ending with Z for Zebra Finch - each being
accompanied by a humorous drawing by cartoonist and illustrator Des
Campbell. A-Z of Birds will surely amuse and entertain all those
who have a passion for birds and wish to be inspired by one who
already has lots of first-hand experience of how to (usually) get
the most out of travelling to far-flung lands to see them.
