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 & art
- places that give us the chance to grow & expand our horizons. Unforgettable Places to See Before You Die will help you search out some of these essential destinations & experiences. International travel writer & photographer Steve Davey has drawn on his years of experience in selecting forty of his favourite places. Some, such as the Taj Mahal & the Alhambra, are relatively well-known, but most, such as the incredible temple of Angkor Wat in Cambodia & 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, & 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 & take time out to visit some of the world's truly unforgettable places.

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 & experiences around the world.

In Unforgettable Things to Do Before You Die, international travel writers & photographers Steve Watkins & 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 & amazing activities to be done in fabulous destinations during a break of two weeks or less.

Steve & Clares diverse adventures range from searching for pearls in Tahiti, French Polynesia, & dog-sledding through the snowy landscapes of Sweden, to exploring the rainforests of Belize, & 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 & America.

In March 1807, the British Parliament passed an Act making the trading & transportation of slaves illegal. It was many years before slavery, as it was known then, was abolished, & slavery still continues today in different ways, but it was a big step forward towards the empancipation of a people.

Malorie Blackman has drawn together some of the finest of today's writers & poets to contribute to this important anthology. Their short stories & poems sit alongside first-hand accounts of slavery from freed slaves, making a fascinating & absorbing collection that remembers & commemorates one of the most brutal & long-lasting inflictions of misery that human beings have inflicted upon other human beings.
