Bright Paradise
Bright Paradise
£10.00
`A fabulously rich, anecdotal & gripping account of those men & women who ventured out from Britain into the swamps & jungles of the tropics in search, knowingly or not, of the missing link. Through their stoical-sometimes crack-brained-voyages, the shape of the world, geographically & biologically, was elucidated. Never have more significant journeys been made... Enthusiastic, informed & racy, this is one of the most invigorating accounts of the exploits of people from an age whose intrepidity is staggering`. ` Peter Raby`s book follows a disparate crew of botanists, scientists & collectors, who tried to order the earthly paradise which unfolded around them. Entrepreneurs they may have been
- many were dependent on selling their specimens to finance their trips
- but they were also scrupulous & sensitive observers... Raby finds some shimmering, personalities... His book is excellent`

Brig - Aletsch - Goms

33 specially selected hiking trails in the Brig - Aletsch - Goms region of Switzerland presented at 1:50, 000 on a waterproof and tear-resistant, contoured and GPS compatible map from the Hallwag/Kümmerly + Frey group, with route profiles, grading for the severity of the terrain and the degree of fitness required, etc. The cartography provides an excellent picture of the terrain through contours at 25-metre intervals enhanced by shading, graphic relief for exposed rock, and colouring for glaciers and woodlands. All local footpaths are on the maps, but the overprint specifically highlights 33 trails selected by the publishers in collaboration with Geo-tracks. The colouring of each trail indicates the degree of fitness needed, from “no physical shape required” to “extremely
high level of physical fitness necessary”. The trails start near a railway station or a bus stop (the colouring of the road network indicates routes with public transport and locations of individual bus stops). The maps have the lines of the Swiss national grid at 1-km intervals. On the reverse each trail has a route profile, its grading according to severity of the terrain and the degree of fitness required to attempt it, details of length and approximate timing, the change in altitude on assent and descent, plus a brief description. Map legend includes English; all the text on the reverse is in German. Each title also includes a code for a free download onto a smartphone.To see other titles in this series please click on the series link.USEFUL TIP: the same cartography, reduced
slightly to 1:60, 000, is used in Kümmerly + Frey’s hiking series with highlighting for all the waymarked trails rather than, as in this series, just a selection of 33 special routes recommended by the publishers.
