An absorbing and masterly account of Australia's third great hydrographer, Phillip Parker King. Phillip Parker King has been described as the greatest of Australia's early marine surveyors. But while the achievements of Cook and Flinders are widely known, this is the first telling of King's story. Unlike Cook and Flinders, King was Australian-born-the son of Philip Gidley King, governor of New South Wales. In a series of gruelling voyages between 1817 and 1822, King charted most of the north-west coast of Australia from the eastern tip of Arnhem Land all the way round to Cape Leeuwin and King George Sound. He surveyed Macquarie Harbour in Van Diemen's Land and the treacherous waters inside the Great Barrier Reef, filling gaps in the work of his famous predecessors. Marsden Hordern, a splendid storyteller, creates for the reader a sense of following, engrossed, in King's wake. The hazards of reefs, shoals and tides are ever-present, as is delight in unfamiliar wildlife and curiosity about the Aboriginal people. The question left hanging is whether King might be better known today had he been a less capable, good and faithful servant of the Crown, and more inclined to the excess and ineptitude of certain other early explorers. Winner of the New South Wales Premier's Literary Award for General History. Companion volume to Mariners are Warned!, another prize-winning maritime biography by the same author.

The Nobel Prize-winning author explores his homeland in "this monumental work, a literary hybrid" of cultural history, literary nonfiction, and travelogue (Publishers Weekly). When José Saramago decided to write a book about Portugal, his only desire was that it be unlike all other books on the subject, and in this he has certainly succeeded. Recording the events and observations of a journey across the length and breadth of the country he loves dearly, Saramago brings Portugal to life as only a writer of his brilliance can. Forfeiting the usual sources such as tourist guides and road maps, he scours the country with the eyes and ears of an observer fascinated by the ancient myths and history of his people. Whether it be an inaccessible medieval fortress set on a cliff, a wayside chapel thick with cobwebs, or a grand mansion in the city, the extraordinary places of this land come alive. Always meticulously attentive to those elements of ancient Portugal that persist today, he examines the country in its current period of rapid transition and growth. Journey to Portugal is an ode to a country and its rich traditions.

OC - Ocean - cold ocean water, offshore seastacks, rocky shores and sandbeaches provide a wide-range of habitats for marine-associated plants andanimals. CS - Coastal Strand - desiccating ocean winds, salt spray, rocky shores, sand beaches and coastal bluffs influence and shape the diversity of trees, shrubs, herbs and grasses that hug the 35-miles of park coastline. RW - Redwood Forest - almost pure stands of coast redwood are found onalluvial flats and benches along major streams, with occasional fir, spruce, hemlock, tan oak or bay intermingling. The moist, shady, acidic conditionsfound on the forest floor often restricts the diversity of plants that cangrow there. ME - Mixed Evergreen - found on drier upland slopes adjacent to redwoodforests. Many species of plants grow within these more open, sunnierforests. RP - Riparian - three major river systems and numerous coastal streamstraverse the parks. The constant watersupply supports a lush growth of trees, shrubs and herbs along the banks. OW - Oak Woodland - found along the dry, inland ridges of the Bald Hills, the woodlands include large sunny patches of grasses and flowers scatteredamong the trees. PR - Prairie - scattered grasslands along ridge crests, usually a few milesinland from the coast. SG - Second Growth Forest - timber harvesting has impacted more than 1/3 ofthe lands within the parks. Second-growth refers to the resulting young, even-aged forests. DA - Disturbed Area Redwood Park Association (RPA) is a non-profit organization which supportsand promotes the educational goals of Redwood National and State Parksandthe Smith River National Recreation Area. Working in partnership with theNational Park Service since 1985, RPA publishes educational materials aboutthe park and related environments, offers field seminar programs, andoperates park bookstores.

When Russia's Baltic states opened up for visitors in 1993, the author and his wife Suzanne eagerly embarked on a motorcycle trip there. Part love story, part edgy travelogue, this book recounts their harrowing experience traveling the desolate landscapes around the Baltic Sea.

In nur einem Jahrhundert transformierte sich Berlin mehrere Male grundlegend: von unglaublichem Wachstum über Zerstörung und anschließendem Fortbestehen als siamesischer Zwilling. Besonders die späteren dieser prägenden Phasen waren gekennzeichnet durch Stillstand oder gar Schrumpfen und stärkten die ohnehin ungewöhnliche Siedlungsform Berlins ohne klares Zentrum. Die wechselnde Dynamik ganz gegensätzlicher politischer Antriebskräfte hat eine Vielfalt an räumlichen Besonderheiten hervorgebracht, die heute gerade am Stadtrand noch nicht überformt wurden. Berlin Maps kartographiert diese Phänomene und zeigt: Die Grenze als Sonderraum ist reichhaltiger als es mittlerweile die durchgentrifizierte Beliner Innenstadt geworden ist. Und auch am Rand wächst Berlin enorm, beinah unbemerkt. Nur wer auch den Übergang zwischen Berlin und Brandenburg als Raum begreift, entdeckt die verborgenen Potenziale, die Grundlage einer qualifizierten und neuartigen Stadtentwicklung sein können.Berlin Maps rückt deshalb den Rand der Stadt ins Zentrum der Aufmerksamkeit. In 18 Themenfeldern geordnet werden besondere, seltsame oder unentdeckte Phänomene Berlins kartografiert und immer gemeinsam mit dem Umland gedacht, wie zum Beispiel natürliche und künstliche Berge, Fluchttunnel und Enklaven, die 4 Mauern Berlins, Sümpfe und Moore. Architektonische Geografie, Stadtgeschichte, politische Umwälzungen, landschaftliche Räume und Kuriositäten werden in illustrativen Übersichtskarten und Einzelzeichnungen lustvoll dargestellt.

- Waterproof - Tear-Resistant - Topographic MapThe Haute Route--aka the High Route or Mountaineers' Route--traverses the French and Swiss Alps. It was conceived as a summer mountaineering route in the mid-nineteenth century by members of the English Alpine Club. Though originally called "The High-Level Route" by members of the Alpine Club, in 1911, a group first successfully established a winter route from Bourg St. Pierre to Zermatt on skis and afterwards the name of the route was translated into French. As a result of their success, the French term stuck, and the journey gained a reputation amid skiers and ski mountaineers as a classic must-do winter/spring tour. There is also a non-technical Walker's Haute Route that has gained in popularity and become a classic in and of itself. This Topographic Map Guide outlines two different variations of the Haute Route from Chamonix, France to Zermatt, Switzerland: one for hikers and one for skiers. The northernmost route or, Walker's Route, depicted on the map travels north from Chamonix and traverses through the Alps all the way to Zermatt. The ski route depicted on this map illustrates the Grand Lui variation, which is the longest and most technical route that eliminates the road links of the Verbier and Classic variations.Though the term Haute Route has been widely used for many multi-day, hut-to-hut alpine tours, the "Chamonix-Zermatt Haute Route" remains the original. Thus, whether you choose to wear skis or hiking boots, the Haute Route is an adventure unlike any other.More convenient and easier to use than folded maps, but just as compact and lightweight, National Geographic's Topographic Map Guide booklets are printed on "Backcountry Tough" waterproof, tear-resistant paper with stainless steel staples. A full UTM grid is printed on the map to aid with GPS navigationMap Scale = 1:50,000Folded Size = 4.25" x 9.38"
