Bradt's Alentejo remains the only standalone guide to this emerging
region, providing all the information needed to find that idyllic
rural retreat, beachside boutique or romantic hotel set in a
converted palace. Restaurants, wines, cafes and cultural sights
have all been meticulously chosen and reviewed by the author and
there is a wealth of background cultural and historical information
to unlock the secrets of the Alentejo's colourful past and
captivating present. This new second edition has been thoroughly
updated to reflect all the most recent developments and includes a
new section on castle towns, expanded information on Alandroal and
Juromenha, new coverage of Alegrete and the Serra de Sao Mamede and
new features on everything from The Siege of Badajoz to Alentejo
wild flowers, Portuguese grape varieties and the Rebel Prince of
Marvao amongst others. More hotels and tours have also been added,
especially around Evora, Monsaraz and Marvao. The Alentejo is
Portugal's Andalusia - without the crowds - a landscape littered
with Moorish monuments, sleepy villages and Crusader castles. The
beaches are glorious sweeps of white sand, broken by rocky coves
nested by storks, or backed by caramel coloured sandstone cliffs.
The towns and villages of the interior appear little-changed since
medieval times - clusters of sugar-cube houses tumble down hills
from heavy-set castles. There are palaces and there are myriad
megalithic monuments - lost in the rolling countryside in the olive
groves, or among orange trees and withered cork oaks. Wild boar and
lynx roam the extensive forests and heathlands - which offer
wonderful hiking and hill walking. And the food. fresh Atlantic
bream, sizzling prawns, forest-reared pork and dozens of glorious
wines with which to wash it down. Expert author and fluent
Portuguese speaker Alex Robinson has been visiting, writing and
photographing Portugal for more than 20 years and in this new
edition has evolved his guide to the Alentejo even further to make
an ideal companion for a successful trip whatever your interest,
age or budget: hikers, wine and food lovers, weekend travellers,
history enthusiasts and those looking for a second home are all
catered for.
This epic story of Sherman, Dorothy, Ed, Stephen, Jane, and Mr.
Flavor is not to be missed. Alex Robinson's completely natural and
inspiring knack for dialogue has made his story of dreary jobs,
comic books, love, sex, messy apartments, girlfriends (and the lack
thereof), undisclosed pasts, and crusty old professionals one of
the most delightful and whimsical graphic novels to hit the stands
in years.
As the requirements of the semiconductor industry have become more
demanding in terms of resolution and speed it has been necessary to
push photoresist materials far beyond the capabilities previously
envisioned. Currently there is significant worldwide research
effort in to so called Next Generation Lithography techniques such
as EUV lithography and multibeam electron beam lithography. These
developments in both the industrial and the academic lithography
arenas have led to the proliferation of numerous novel approaches
to resist chemistry and ingenious extensions of traditional
photopolymers. Currently most texts in this area focus on either
lithography with perhaps one or two chapters on resists, or on
traditional resist materials with relatively little consideration
of new approaches. This book therefore aims to bring together the
worlds foremost resist development scientists from the various
community to produce in one place a definitive description of the
many approaches to lithography fabrication.
