Snakes And Ladders
Snakes And Ladders
    With a novelist's eye for
    detail and colour, Gita
    Mehta writes of the
    continent of
    contradictions that is
    host to one-sixth of the
    world's population. The
    world's largest
    democracy, it still
    practices the caste
    system. It's a burgeoning
    economic superpower, and
    one of the poorest
    nations on earth. It has
    the world's largest film
    industry, and the
    world's oldest religions.
    It is an ancient
    civilisation celebrating
    fifty years as a modern
    nation, entering a new
    international order many
    believe will belong to
    China and India. Now as
    never before, the world
    wants to know what
    contemporary India is all
    about.

    Few cities in the world
    abound with so many
    extraordinary stories as
    Glasgow. The city has
    been the silent witness
    to some of the most

    calamities, amazing
    achievements to

    these stories has been

Scotland: A Visual Journey
Scotland: A Visual Journey
    Renowned photographer
    Douglas Corrance has been
    taking photographs of
    Scotland for more than a
    quarter of a century.
    This magnificently
    produced book presents a
    visual journey around his
    native land, covering
    everything from the
    rugged peaks of the
    Highlands to the diverse
    nature of our cities and
    towns. As Corrance spent
    over a decade as
    photographer to the
    Scottish Tourist Board it
    is not surprising to find
    in these pages a
    multitude of shots of the
    archetypal Scotland, but
    he skilfully manages to
    bring something new and
    fresh to every image,
    stamping each with his
    own unique perspective.
    The result is a
    collection of remarkable,
    striking photographs
    which will give the
    reader - whether visitor
    or native Scot - a better
    understanding and clearer
    view of the myriad facets
    of Scotland's beauty.

Out Of Eden
Out Of Eden
    OUT OF EDEN carries the
    Eden Project's message
    way beyond the pit. With
    beautiful pictures and a
    vibrant text written by
    the Eden team, it takes
    the exhibits - cotton,
    coffee, tea, rubber,
    cola, chicle,
    chocolate, and many more
    - as its starting point
    for a narrative combining
    history, botany,
    horticulture and global
    politics to follow the
    story of the world's
    crucial plants.
    But,
    like the Eden Project,
    the book is not just
    about plants. It is about
    sustainability, about
    bringing industrial
    landscapes back from the
    dead, about living at
    one with Nature at a time
    of ecological danger.

    OUT OF EDEN is a stunning
    companion to the Eden
    Project - and an
    essential reference for
    everyone concerned for
    our planet.

Great Glasgow Stories II
Great Glasgow Stories II
    There are few cities
    anywhere in the world to
    sequal Scotland's biggest
    city and the
    extraordinary stories
    which abound in it. Some
    of the great tales are
    about events which
    occurred in the city many
    of them within living
    memory - and others are
    about fabulous characters
    who, like these stories,
    also bound in this most
    colourful of cities.
    GREAT GLASGOW STORIES II
    recounts some of the
    finest great stories,
    all of which have been
    freshly researched,
    bringing to light amazing
    new facts and accounts of
    events which occurred in
    Glasgow and which were to
    have a worldwide impact.
    For instance, the
    foresight and principles
    of leadership of just one
    man who got together
    local boys in a West End
    church hall was to create
    the biggest youth
    movement the world has
    ever known, an
    organisation which today
    has countless thousands
    of youths as members in
    every continent on earth.
    Just who was Scotland's
    football star? Of course
    he had to be a Glasgow
    man but what little is
    known about this great
    player who was to score
    hat-tricks for his
    country and be one of the
    big attractions at Ibrox
    Park, is that his fame
    lives on as a household
    name.

Scottish Highlanders
Scottish Highlanders
    Right across the world
    there are people who
    think of themselves as
    Scottish Highlanders,
    people who, though they
    may be separated from
    Scotland's hills and
    glens by many thousands
    of miles and several
    generations, still
    identify with this unique
    locality on the western
    edge of Europe. Examining
    their roots, their
    contribution to
    Scotland's evolution,
    their dispersal across
    the globe and the myths
    surrounding them, James
    Hunter sets out to
    explore and explain the
    passions and emotions
    surrounding the Scottish
    Highlanders.

Papa Westray
Papa Westray
    Most people will admit to
    a passion for islands.
    For some it's the romance
    of a Swiss Family
    Robinson adventure, for
    others simply the
    discovery of a hideaway
    where a genuine sense of
    place and community can
    still be found. There can
    be no doubt, however,
    that this 'islomania',
    as Lawrence Durrell once
    described it, does
    exist.Intriguingly, for
    many of Scotland's remote
    islands, plagued in the
    twenty-first century by
    depopulation, there is a
    growing realisation that
    harnessing this island
    fever could play a
    significant part in their
    long-term survival as
    communities. Papa
    Westray, mystical island
    of the monks, is hardly
    more than a dot on the
    map of Scotland, yet it
    has a remarkable record
    of habitation which spans
    more than 5, 000 years -
    a continuity of
    settlement difficult to
    match anywhere in the
    world. Only in the past
    30 years, though, has
    the world at large come
    to know its treasures.
    This far-flung Orkney
    isle and journalist Jim
    Hewitson found each other
    in the early 1980s. With
    its 25 households, 70 or
    so permanent residents,
    a mini-economy based on
    cattle, sheep and
    shellfishing, the island
    sustains only a fraction
    of the population it did
    a century ago. Papa
    Westray brings together
    eight years of articles,
    essays and diary jottings
    which portray a
    fascinating island
    battered not just by
    Atlantic storms but by
    the pressures of
    contemporary economics.
    It provides a series of
    snapshots of life on the
    ocean fringe and reveals
    the strains, stresses
    and joys of being part of
    a compact community still
    living, more than most,
    in a world apart. As
    society becomes more
    uniform and featureless,
    the colour and character
    of Papa Westray portrayed
    in these pages surely

Unforgettable Places to See Before You Die
Unforgettable Places To See
Before You Die
    We only get one life so
    we owe it to ourselves to
    see as much of this
    beautiful world as
    possible. For many of us,
    lying on a beach for two
    weeks each year is just
    not enough any more. We
    want to see ancient
    monuments, extraordinary
    scenery, endangered
    wildlife, foreign
    cultures, architecture
    and art - places that
    give us the chance to
    grow and expand our
    horizons. Unforgettable
    Places to See Before You
    Die will help you search
    out some of these
    essential destinations
    and experiences.
    International travel
    writer and photographer
    Steve Davey has drawn on
    his years of experience
    in selecting forty of his
    favourite places. Some,
    such as the Taj Mahal and
    the Alhambra, are
    relatively well-known,
    but most, such as the
    incredible temple of
    Angkor Wat in Cambodia
    and the amazing sand
    dunes of Dead Vlei in the
    Namib desert, are very
    much off the beaten
    track. Some, such as
    Venice or New York,
    involve relatively
    comfortable journeys,
    whilst others present
    more of a challenge -
    crossing the wilderness
    to see the rock-hewn
    churches at Lalibela in
    Ethiopia, for example,
    or trekking for nine days
    at altitude to see the
    stunning Himalayan
    scenery around Makalu in
    Nepal. Although there are
    plenty of tips for
    travellers, this is not
    a travel guide, and is
    certainly not definitive,
    but it will introduce
    you to a host of
    spectacular locations,
    all of which can be
    visited in a holiday of
    two weeks or less.
    Beautifully illustrated
    throughout with specially
    commissioned photographs,
    this is a book that will
    inspire you to think
    beyond the walls of your
    room and take time out to
    visit some of the world's
    truly unforgettable
    places.

Unforgettable Things to do Before you Die
Unforgettable Things To Do
Before You Die
    Following the success of
    Unforgettable Places to
    See Before You Die, this
    is the second title in an
    exciting new series of
    books that will help you
    search out essential
    sights and experiences
    around the world.


    In Unforgettable
    Things to Do Before You
    Die, international
    travel writers and
    photographers Steve
    Watkins and Clare Jones
    draw on their years of
    experience to select
    forty of their favourite
    trips of a lifetime. This
    book isnt a travel guide,
    nor is it definitive,
    but it will introduce you
    to a host of unusual and
    amazing activities to be
    done in fabulous
    destinations during a
    break of two weeks or
    less.

    Steve and
    Clares diverse adventures
    range from searching for
    pearls in Tahiti, French
    Polynesia, and
    dog-sledding through the
    snowy landscapes of
    Sweden, to exploring the
    rainforests of Belize,
    and sailing down the Nile
    on an Egyptian felucca.
    For the less active
    explorer they offer more
    relaxed but equally
    unmissable pursuits,
    such as watching an opera
    in the ancient ruins of
    Verona, Italy, or
    wine-tasting in Bordeaux,
    France.


    Lavishly illustrated
    throughout with specially
    commissioned photographs.
    Unforgettable Things to
    Do Before You Die is
    aimed at anyone looking
    for ideas for an
    inspirational experience
    of a lifetime.


    The Unforgettable series
    has so far been published
    in 14 countries across
    Europe, Asia and
    America.
