From childhood, Jim Corbett, who was born in India in 1875, was at one with the jungles, an expert shikari & an excellent shot, killing his first leopard when he was eight. Tigers were his most sought-after prey but, in time, he began to turn towards conservation. From the mid-1920s, he ceased to shoot tigers for sport: instead he photographed them. He did not stop killing tigers altogether: he still hunted
- but man-eaters. In old age, Corbett became world famous for his stories about his exploits: his best-known book, Man-eaters of Kumaon, told of his adventures against these dangerous, pathetic creatures reduced to killing humans because age or infirmity, often caused by sportsmen's ill-aimed bullets, prevented them from taking their natural prey. In 1936, Corbett was instrumental in the establishment of the first Indian tiger reserve, possibly the world's first big-game 'park'. For the rest of his life, he was dedicated to the preservation of wildlife. This is the story of a hunter-turned conservator & a typical 'domiciled' Englishman in India. It is also a tale of courage, of a deep love for India & her people, & a dedication to natural beauty. To this day, Corbett is revered in northern India as a legendary holy figure who fought the devil in his disguise as a man-eating big cat, & his books on jungle lore & wildlife are also well-respected.

The Mac Gillycuddy`s Reeks are Ireland`s highest mountains with Carrauntoohil tallest at 1039m. Occupying about 100 square km., they stretch from the picturesque Gap of Dunloe in the east to Glencar in the west. Attracting over 25, 000 walkers annually, they are a wonderful playground. However, many routes are not clearly marked & mist or fog covers them for three quarters of the year. Access to a proper guide is therefore essential before venturing on to the Reeks. This guide to 20 of popular walking routes on the Reeks contains full-colour maps specially commissioned from the Ordnance Survey, clear photographs & precise map references. However, this is not just a walking guide. It also encompasses the history of the area, its geology & natural history, its place names & people. Useful information on travel & accommodation is also provided. It will be the most comprehensive guide to the area to be published for some time. ...

- 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.
