There are perfect midweek suppers rustled up in less time than it takes to order a takeaway, & healthier & better tasting at that: fennel & minced pork stir fry, fried hor fun noodles with kale & beansprouts or tom yum soup with mussels. For weekends, there are more adventurous projects: learn how to make your own steamed buns, egg noodles, or BBQ sambal lemon sole

There are also recipes that Shu has picked up on her travels throughout Southeast Asia, such as Vietnamese caramel pork ribs, Thai baked glass noodles with prawns & black pepperand Burmese chickpea tofu with fish sauce, lime & honey dressing.

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).

- 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.

A New Statesman Book of the Year for 2017 His father conceived of the Brooklyn Bridge, but it was Washington Roebling who built this iconic feat of human engineering after his father`s tragic death. It has stood for more than 130 years & is now as much a part of New York as the Statue of Liberty or the Empire State Building. Yet, as recognisable as the bridge is, its builder is too often forgotten. The Chief Engineer is a brilliant examination of the life of one of America`s most distinguished engineers. Roebling`s experience as an engineer building bridges in the Union Army during the civil War has never before been documented, & played a central role in the bridge that links Brooklyn & Manhattan. The Brooklyn Bridge took fourteen dramatic years to complete, & the personal story that lay behind that construction is told here for the first time. The Chief Engineer is an engaging portrait of a brilliant & driven man, & of the era in which he lived. Meticulously researched, & written with revealing archival material only recently uncovered, including Washington Roebling`s own memoir that was previously thought to be lost to history, in The Chief Engineer Erica Wagner relates the fascinating history of the bridge & its maker. ...
