A landmark in travel writing, this is the incredible true story of Heinrich Harrer's escape across the Himalayas to Tibet, set against the backdrop of the Second World War.Heinrich Harrer, already one of the greatest mountaineers of his time, was climbing in the Himalayas when war broke out in Europe. He was imprisoned by the British in India but succeeded in escaping and fled to Tibet. Settling in Lhasa, the Forbidden City, where he became a friend and tutor to the Dalai Lama, Heinrich Harrer spent seven years gaining a more profound understanding of Tibet and the Tibetans than any Westerner before him.More recently made into a film starring Brad Pitt, Seven Years in Tibet is a stunning story of incredible courage and self-reliance by one of the twentieth century's best travel writers.

This fully updated fourth edition of Bradt's Borneo remains the essential guide for visiting this island paradise, focusing on Sabah, Sarawak and Brunei. With all the latest practical information, plus new features such as coverage of the gateway cities of Kuala Lumpur and Singapore, and a review of the political situation and conservation issues, Bradt's Borneo offers everything you need. Expert author Tamara Thiessen offers in-depth background chapters on the island's exceptional biodiversity and exotic tribal cultures, from the sultry rainforests and sapphire straits of Sabah to the incredible river journeys of Sarawak. Also included is insider information for touring the island including regional capitals, rural outposts and National Parks. As a world-recognised biodiversity hotspot, Borneo's variety and richness of plant and animal life is almost unparalleled. Just 10ha of Bornean rainforest can support 700 species of tree - as many as are found across the whole of North America - while over 5,000 of Borneo's plant species and 500 animals are endemics, unique to the island, including the Bornean Orangutan, which spends more time on the ground than its purely-arboreal Sumatran cousins. Also covered are internationally known locations such as Brunei's Ulu Temburong National Park, the stunning coral reefs of the east and west coasts and, in Sabah, the Danum Valley and Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre. From Brunei's mesmerising mosques to the limestone pinnacles of Sarawak's Gunung Mulu National Park, Bradt's Borneo is the ideal companion for a successful trip.

This new edition of Bradt's North Korea has been completely written from scratch and remains the only standalone guide to what is often regarded as the world's most secretive state, a place never far from media scrutiny but about which very little is actually known in the wider world. Detailed is everything you need to know for a successful visit, from the practicalities of how to get there and who to go with to cultural sensitivities and etiquette, safety, money and travelling around. Amongst the places covered are the supra-centrally planned showcase capital of Pyongyang; Panmunjom, where North meets South face-to-face inside the 4km-wide DMZ - the dividing line between two nations and one people; Kumgansan Tourist Resort, the chiefly South Korean-built resort offering fantastic hikes; and Paektusan, the highest peak in all of Korea and Manchuria. For the intrepid and open-minded traveller North Korea is a truly mesmerising destination with a rich past and fascinating contemporary history. Visitors today are immersing themselves in an unrivalled experience in what is seemingly the last country in the world not to have submitted to globalisation, the last country still clinging on to the 20th century experiment in communism that for all others crumbled away shortly after the collapse of the Berlin Wall. Outside of the showcase socialist paradise of Pyongyang, visitors will find stunning natural scenery, from beautiful coastline and beaches to spectacular mountains, such as legendary Paektusan. Whilst many hold the ill-conceived notion that a visit to North Korea may not be safe, the reality is that visitors are warmly welcomed and still considered more as `guests of the state' than as mere tourists. Written by expert author Henry Marr, who first visited North Korea in 2005 and has since been back more than twenty times, Bradt's North Korea is an indispensable guide to understanding and getting to know one of the world's most curious destinations.

"Mit Berlin" er ikke en rejsebog som de fleste kender, såsom serien 'Turen går til...', der efter Rejseskribentens mening kun handler om restauranter, shopping og overnatningsmuligheder. Ikke fordi det er forkert med den slags bøger, men det er bare ikke det Rejseskribenten går efter. Rejseskribenten ønsker at 'mærke' Berlin, få historien ind under huden. For hvis der er noget Berlin er fuld af, så er det historie. 2019 er netop et historisk år, det er nemlig 30 år siden Berlinmuren væltede, og DDR forsvandt og Berlin blev til en samlet by igen efter 28 år, 2 måneder og 28 dage med en mur der skilte byen i to. "Mit Berlin" er en god blanding af historie, både den kendte og den mere ukendte, oplevelser og skønne fotografier. Læs blandt andet historien om Kaptajn von Köpenick og find ud af hvilke bygninger der gemmer sig bag øgenavnene Tele-Aspargesen, Elefanttoilettet, Den Gravide Østers, Den Hule Tand, Pudderdåsen, Læbestiften, Big Benz og Guld-Else. Det og meget mere i "Mit Berlin". "Mit Berlin" udkom første gang i 2017, kun som e-bog (ISBN 978-87-998543-2-5), men kommer nu i en ny opdateret version.

"A casually wondrous experience; it made me feel like the city was unfolding beneath my feet.” —Jia Tolentino, author of Trick MirrorIn place-names lie stories. That’s the truth that animates this fascinating journey through the names of New York City’s streets and parks, boroughs and bridges, playgrounds and neighborhoods.Exploring the power of naming to shape experience and our sense of place, Joshua Jelly-Schapiro traces the ways in which native Lenape, Dutch settlers, British invaders, and successive waves of immigrants have left their marks on the city’s map. He excavates the roots of many names, from Brooklyn to Harlem, that have gained iconic meaning worldwide. He interviews the last living speakers of Lenape, visits the harbor’s forgotten islands, lingers on street corners named for ballplayers and saints, and meets linguists who study the estimated eight hundred languages now spoken in New York.As recent arrivals continue to find new ways to make New York’s neighborhoods their own, the names that stick to the city’s streets function not only as portals to explore the past but also as a means to reimagine what is possible now.

Trekking 500 miles on the ancient Camino de Santiago was not just an item for Russ Eanes to check off his bucket list. It was a journey he had dreamed of taking for decades.At age 61, with his children grown, he was too young to retire but wise enough to know that he needed to reorient the hurried pace of his life. He left his work and took a sabbatical to "reset" himself and the first step was to head to the Camino.With everything he needed in a 16-pound pack and, equipped with a set of seven simple principles, he took off from St. Jean Pied de Port, France, to walk, as pilgrims have for twelve centuries, across Spain, to realize his dream. It was the Walk of a Lifetime.In a style that is part personal memoir and part travel memoir, he combines history, spirituality, coffee, culture and humor into an engaging journey of personal rediscovery.

For five centuries Europeans sought a short cut across the top of the world. The quest for a passage to the riches of the Orient claimed many ships and many lives as explorers searched for a route through a labyrinth of islands and ice-strewn waterways. It was 1906 before the Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen first completed a transit from Atlantic to Pacific.The Northwest Passage is an ice-choked waterway with spectacular landscapes and a powerful history of naval endeavour. Over the last decade global warming has opened this fabled passage in late summer for possible commercial shipping and the continuing opportunity for adventurous travel.This is the first book to draw together the rich history with a guide to the region-home for the majority of the world's seabirds, enormous numbers of seals, plenty of polar bears and whales and more than enough mosquitoes. It is also home for Inuit communities which adapted superbly to a cruel climate. Today's travellers will meet them and see incomparable scenery and a wealth of wildlife, to say nothing of the chance to have a voice in the long-term management of this wilderness region.An absorbing read and a practical resource.
