When Peter Clark arrived in Damascus 1992 to open the new British Council office, he was not to know that the next five years were to give him an unique window on the upper echelons of Syrian society in the last few years of Hafez Al-Assad`s rule.

“ Damascus: Taste of a City” is a touching, thought-provoking book that gives new meaning to what home is & how we experience the feeling of it. It is said: ‘ When a man has lived seven years in Damascus, Damascus lives in him.’ Rafik Schami, a prize-winning novelist & exile, lived in Damascus for twenty-five years. Unable to return to the city he loves, his sister walks him through the streets by phone, vividly describing the sights, sounds & flavours of the ‘ Pearl of the Orient’. With their link established, they wandered through Damascus for a year, he in exile & her giving him the morsels that would inspire this text; so Marie Fadel in the city & Rafik Schami – almost torn apart by longing – on the telephone in Germany. His joy came not only from strolling through the city, but also from realising how the diversity of peoples that have migrated through Damascus have combined to create an outstanding cuisine. He has added their stories to the transcriptions of the walks from the tape recorder that captured every telephone conversation. This book is an incredible example of how two seemingly insurmountable barriers – time & geography – can be overcome. ...

Damn You, Autocorrect! brings together some of the laugh-out-loud funny & painfully embarrassing posts from the hit website, which highlight the hilarity that often ensues when text messaging goes wrong: girlfriends getting together for `manila penis, ` (mani pedis); a husband texting his wife that he `laid` the babysitter (paid); a friend asking if someone got tickets to the ` Lady Vagina` (Lady Gaga) concert, & the most popular image on the website so far: a father texting his daughter that he & his mother were going to divorce, when they were in fact just going to Disney. Oops. The phenomenally successful Damnyouautocorrect.com began when author Jillian Madison innocently tried to invite some friends over for gelato. Autocorrect, however, had another idea, & asked them over for a night of `fellatio` instead. & that`s just the tip of the iceberg. Damn You, Autocorrect!

Includes:: 200 never before seen submissions to the website, as well as an introduction from the author & website creator, Jillian Madison.

Damodar Himal, sheet no. 2884-01, in the topographic survey of Nepal at 1:50, 000 published by the Nepali Government in the late 1990s & early 2000s & produced from remote sensing data by Finnish cartographers as part of that country’s international aid program. The maps cover 15’ x 15’ quadrangles.IMPORTANT – PLEASE NOTE BEFORE ORDERING: AVAILABILITY: although, theoretically at least, still in print, these maps are very difficult to get locally in Nepal and/or from various suppliers elsewhere specializing in obtaining such maps. DELIVERIES MAY TAKE SEVERAL WEEKS OR EVEN MONTHS.PROBLEMS WITH PLACE NAMES: reports from previous users indicate that transliteration of place names differs from that used widely not only on other maps & in guide books but also on the ground itself, in road signs & in the tourist & trekking industry in general. Whilst most names are similar enough to be easily recognizable, e.g. Namche Bajar for Namche Bazar or Lantan for Langtang, we have been told of confusion & difficulties arising from different spellings appearing on these maps.TREKKING ROUTES & TOURIST INFORMATION: whilst the maps show foot trails & mark locations of temples, etc, they carry no specific trekking information. Major trekking routes & places of interest are not highlighted. There is no marking for base camps & other tourist facilities. Map specifications: Contours are at 40m intervals, with graphics and/or coloring to show various features of the terrain (glaciers with moraines & crevasses, quarries, gravel or clay pits, etc.) & vegetation (forests, bush, grass, orchards & plantations, etc). Additional comments such as “open mixed forest mainly bajh & pine” annotate many area. The maps have numerous spot heights, but relatively few peaks are named. Areas outside the country’s borders are left blank. Settlements in remote areas are indicated by markings for individual buildings & the placing of names does not always make it clear which group of buildings they refer to. Road network distinguishes between major & minor foot trails. Symbols mark features such as temples, schools & hospitals, police stations, etc. Also shown are the country’s administrative divisions. The maps have a 1-km UTM grid, plus latitude & longitude lines at intervals of 5’. Map legend & all the text is in English. Coverage: the whole country is now covered, with the north at 1:50, 000, plus central & southern Nepal at 1:25, 000. The two series are complementary, do not overlap & use the same grid & numbering system (apart from the Lumbini Zone, where a different grid & numbering are used). For areas not shown on our grid & titles not listed here, please contact us by e-mail, but please do bear in mind the problems with availability & the likely very long delivery time. ...
