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

Iran: A destination that is seldom seen by westerners yet often misunderstood. A country that simultaneously “enchants & enrages” those who visit it. A place where leading a double life has become the norm. In Couchsurfing in Iran, award-winning author Stephan Orth spends sixty-two days on the road in this mysterious Islamic republic to provide a revealing, behind-the-scenes look at life in one of the world’s most closed societies. Through the unsurpassed hospitality of twenty-two hosts, he skips the guidebooks & tourist attractions & travels from Persian carpet to bed to cot, covering more than 8, 400 kilometers to recount “this world’s hidden doings.” Experiencing daily what he calls the “two Irans” that coexist side by side?the “theocracy, where people mourn their martyrs” in mausoleums, & the “hide-&-seek-ocracy, where people hold secret parties & seek worldly thrills instead of spiritual bliss”?he learns that Iranians have become experts in navigating around their country’s strict laws. Though couchsurfing is officially prohibited in Iran?the state fears spies would be able to travel undetected through the country?more than a hundred thousand Iranians are registered with online couchsurfing portals. & thanks to these hospitable, English-speaking strangers, Orth gets up close & personal with locals, peering behind closed doors & blank windows to uncover the inner workings of a country where public show & private reality are strikingly opposed. ...
