The Corbetts (Scotland`s 2500-2999ft mountains) are every bit as interesting as the Munros (3000ft & over), often clear when the Munros are in cloud, walkable on short winter days, free of the peak-bagging crowds of their taller neighbours. Volume 2 of this two-volume Cicerone guide covers the Corbetts to the north of the Great Glen, which runs from Fort William to Inverness enclosing Loch Ness, probably Scotland`s best-known loch. Choosing the best, rather than the quickest, routes up each summit the author covers 109 peaks in 90 routes, divided into 10 areas. South of the Great Glen it is the Munros which attract most attention, but along the western seaboard & in the far north it is the Corbetts that dominate the landscape with isolated rocky peaks rising steeply above the sea & inland lochs, in a wilderness of heather & bog dotted with sparkling lochs & lochans. There are spectacular Corbetts all the way from Ardgour to Cape Wrath including those in Ardgour, Knoydart, Applecross, Torridon & Fisherfield. The far north-west provides some of the most magnificent mountain scenery in the world & it is difficult to beat the magical islands of Mull, Rum, Skye & Harris. ...

The Environmental World Wall Map from Global Mapping, 123 x 94cm (4ft x 3ft 1” approx.) & with laminated surface, showing a physical world map annotated with various environmental problems, with additional panels on deforestation, urbanization, land degradation, climate influences, etc. The main map shows the land masses with altitude colouring & relief shading to show the geography: mountain ranges, deserts, etc. Country names & boundaries are marked, plus a selection of cities, with those most polluted indicated by a special symbol. Other symbols indicate various environmental issues grouped into three types: man-made pollution (nuclear test sites & accidents, oil spills, etc), natural phenomena (deforestation, desertification, droughts, etc) & environmental impacts (pollution black spots, coral bleaching, areas affected by acid rain, etc). Panels under the map provided world maps dealing with deforestation, urbanization, land degradation & climate influences. Another panel shows the environmental changes in the Arctic. Also included are lists of worst oil spills & areas with worst air pollution, plus notes on acid rain & environmental hotspots.*LAMINATED & ENCAPSULATED WALL MAPS:** Laminated* wall maps have a thin layer of plastic usually applied to the printed side only. They can be written on with suitable marker pens without any damage to the map but, unless laminated on both sides, they are not damp-proof.* Encapsulated* wall maps are sealed between two sheets of plastic. They are more rigid & heavier than laminated maps of the same size. They are damp-proof & do not crinkle in humid conditions. Encapsulation gives the map a shiny surface, similar to being displayed behind glass. Many publishers & retailers often use these two terms interchangeably. Our map titles & descriptions follow the definitions provided above. ...

In this guidebook, ` Essex` means the historic county including the London boroughs east of the Lea, roughly equivalent to the post-Roman Kingdom of the East Saxons. Water, important then as now to the defender of a contested territory, defines most of its boundaries: the North Sea to the east, the Thames to the south, the Lea & Stort to the west, & the Stour to the north. Each of these has a character very different to the others, & this one fact alone gives a variety to the landscape. Within this area, so accessible from London, lie a whole range of inland & coastal landscapes, some as empty & remote as anywhere in Engl&, & four great surviving forests
- Hainault, Hatfield, Epping & Writtle. This guidebook describes the 25 best day walks right across the area, ranging in length from 4 to 18 miles, 22 circular & 3 linear, but none of them particularly hilly with the highest point in the county only 482ft. Packed with historical & geological information, these routes, in addition to the 11-stage Across Essex route, take you step by step into every nook & cranny of a surprising county.
