Europe in 1945 was prostrate. Much of the continent was devastated by war, mass slaughter, bombing & chaos. Large areas of Eastern Europe were falling under Soviet control, exchanging one despotism for another. Today, the Soviet Union is no more & the democracies of the European Union reach as far as the borders of Russia itself. Postwar tells the rich & complex story of how we got from there to here. Running right up to the Iraq war & the election of Benedict XVI, Postwar makes sense of Europe`s recent history & identity, of what Europe is & has been. It is nothing less than a masterpiece. It is shortlisted for the Pulitzer & Samuel Johnson Prizes. It is the winner of the Arthur Ross Book Award. ...

What can be more satisfying than growing your own fruit & veg & then eating it, fresh from the pot? Growing your own produce needn`t be limited to those with large gardens or acres of outdoor space. It may be surprising to discover that a whole range of vegetables, salads, herbs & fruit can be grown in limited spaces, such as windowsill containers, pots, small front or back gardens & balconies. Divided into three main chapters, the first section looks at what you can grow, the tools & materials you`ll need, choosing the right containers as well as where to site them for optimum results. Next follows an A
- Z vegetable, herb & fruit directory, with each entry listing planting, siting, maintenance & harvesting details, along with storing & freezing instructions. Explanatory step-by-step photographs & a picture of the plant in situ will also feature for each entry. Finally, the recipes chapter showcases recipes using the produce you`ve grown yourself. Twenty-five fresh, simple recipes for starters, mains & puddings round off this practical but beautiful book.

Topographic coverage of mainland Spain at 1:50, 000 in the MTN50 (Mapa Topográfico Nacional) series from the Centro Nacional de Información Geografica, the country’s civilian survey organization. The maps have contours at 20m intervals, enhanced by relief shading, plus colouring and/or graphics to show different types of terrain, vegetation or land use. Boundaries of national parks & other protected areas are marked. In addition to all the usual information featured on topographic mapping at this scale, detailed presentation of the road & rail networks, rural tracks & paths, etc, the maps also show campsites & mountain refuges. On more recent editions some GRs, the official long-distance hiking routes, are also marked (although not as clearly as on hiking maps from other publishers). Each map covers 29.5x 18.5 km (with adjustments in the border or coastal areas). The maps have a 1-km UTM grid, plus margin ticks for latitude & longitude at 1` intervals.

- MAP TITLES: the grids shown on our website serve both the civilian & the military 1:50, 000 topographic series. Although the areas covered by maps in both series are identical (apart from some border or coastal sheets), occasionally map titles differ – only one title is shown on the grid, usually the military one. In Galicia, the Basque country & in the Catalan speaking areas the tendency now is to use local place names rather than the often better known Castilian ones. Where possible, both versions are included in our titles. Map titles listed on our website are based on information received by us at the time of publication, but sometimes maps arrive showing a completely different title! As long as the map number is as ordered, the correct map has been supplied.

About Falk City Pocket Plans: Street maps covering a slightly smaller area than that represented on the Falk Extra edition, thus folding down to a more handy size (10 x 17cm). Some of them are drawn with a varying scale which, for clarity, presents the city centre at a slightly larger scale than the outer districts. Main landmarks & public buildings are indicated, also one-way streets, car parks & all the public transport facilities eg. tram & bus routes, U-bahns. These plans of larger cities include a separate map of the town centre at a more detailed scale & a diagram of the U-Bahn & the suburban rail network. The plans also show the postal divisions & have an extensive street index on the reverse side which, where appropriate, shows individual postal codes for each street. Also included is a smaller scale map of the city & its immediate environs, showing main roads & railways. Map legend

Falk, one of Germany`s leading publishers of street plans, produce their town plans in two different formats. Falk Extra plans are folded in a standard way, where the whole map can be opened to view the entire area it covers. For larger cities, the same mapping is also published with a special folding system designed to show only a small section of the map at one time. The whole map can be opened but it will be cut in several places. Many find these street plans very user-friendly & easier to handle than conventional maps. The plans, which cover towns with their outer suburbs, indicate main landmarks & public buildings & show all the public transport facilities, one way streets & car parks. Plans of lager cities include a separate map of the town centre at a more detailed scale & a diagram of the underground & the suburban rail network. The plans also show the postal divisions & have an extensive street index which, where appropriate, shows individual postal codes for each street. Map legend

Includes:: English. Falk Extra plans also include on the reverse a road map of the surrounding area.
