The complete works of the great Antoni Gaudi (TASCHEN`s 25th anniversary special edition) Anyone who visits Barcelona today will come across the works of Antoni Gaudi
- the architect who has attracted art-lovers from all over the world to Spain, it was here, in the capital of Catalonia, that the famous master of architecture produced nearly all of his works, including villas for the well-to-do bourgeoisle, the expansive Guell Park (which today is open to the public), & the famous church designed in honour of the Holy Family
- a project which was begun over 100 years ago & has yet to be completed. Antoni Gaudi`s life was full of contradictions. As a young man he joined the Catalonian nationalist movement & was critical of the church; toward the end of his life he devoted himself completely to the construction of one single church. As a young man Gaudi had a liking for the glamour of social life & the looks of a dandy; in old age, on the other h&, he lived a spartan life. Gaudi never married & devoted his life entirely to his art: architecture. His works have been acclaimed as ”soothing oases in a desert of functional buildings, ” as ”precious gems in the uniform grey of rows of houses, ” & the master himself was acclaimed as the ” Dante of architecture”. This book provides a sweeping study of his entire career, presenting his complete works via texts & illustrations.

Wherever they go, anyone who visits Barcelona today will come across the works of Spanish architect Antoni Gaudi (1852-1926), the architect who has attracted art-lovers from all over the world to Spain. It was there, in the capital of Catalonia, that the famous master of architecture produced nearly all of his works. Raised during the Industrial Revolution, Gaudi strove to distinguish & reaffirm the identity of his native Catalonia as Spain & the rest of Europe modernized. Early neo-Gothic designs were the stepping-stone to the mature, original style that came to be synonymous with his name. Incorporating bold colors & odd bits of material into his designs, Gaudi created inspiring, visionary buildings & helped establish Barcelona (most notably with the still-unfinished Sagrada Familia cathedral) as a city of the world. ...

Antoni Gaudi & his inimitable fluid, organic style, is inextricably linked with the city of Barcelona. His spectacular buildings

Gaurishankar Himal, sheet no. 2786-02, 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. ...

Gauteng may be the Place of Gold, but it is also home to many hikes & walks that most Gautengers don`t even know about. This book will help you discover them while giving you a more intimate encounter with Gauteng, a province shrouded in the beauty of indigenous vegetation, mountains, rivers & waterfalls. Tim Hartwright covers both the shorter walks in urban parks & rural areas, along with overnight trails such as Suikerbosr&. He explores the unique places that are right on every Gautenger`s doorstep, one of these being the Braamfontein Spruit, & shares the rich heritage we need to preserve in our city. Numerous private trails have blossomed in areas closer to the main metropolises of Gauteng. Shorter weekend & day hikes have come into vogue & in most cases these trails cross private land rather than that belonging to the state. Most municipalities have embraced hiking as part of their commitment to the outdoor recreational activities they offer their residents & visitors. Explore the various nature reserves, historical, archaeological & geological sites. Included in the book: Detailed description of around 60 hiking & walking trails in Gauteng, including the history & geology, fauna & flora of each area; a difficulty rating is included, helping you decide if it is suitable for the whole family; brief descriptions on how to get to the route with GPS coordinates for starting points; security information & emergency numbers; contact details for trail
- to know if you should book in advance to walk the trail; comprehensive maps for each hike or walk.
