A detailed topographic map from the Ordnance Survey Explorer series, covering Harlech, Porthmadog & Bala (showing part of the Snowdonia National Park) Edition A2 with minor changes; Publication date August 2009 About this series: These highly detailed maps show all the administrative boundaries, settlements as small as isolated farms, the road network down to unfenced roads & country tracks, & field boundaries (hedges & drystone walls) which make navigation across the countryside much easier. Steep gradients on roads are indicated. Various landmarks, e.g. powerlines, archaeological sites, windmills, churches & lighthouses are shown & additional graphics indicate natural terrain features such as cliffs, scree, mud & vegetation variations. The contour interval is 5 metres in the lower parts of the country & 10 metres in the uplands, & spot heights are marked. Each map covers an area of 30 x 20km (i.e. approx. 19 x 12 miles), with some double-sided maps covering more, as indicated in the individual descriptions. The maps are fully GPS compatible, with the National Grid shown at 1km intervals & latitude & longitude indicated by margin ticks at 1'. The Explorer series has replaced the earlier, green-cover Pathfinder maps. The Explorer series is now complete & covers all of Engl&, Wales & Scotl&.

A walker, a reader & a gazer, Sharifa Rhodes-Pitts is also a skilled talker whose impromptu kerbside exchanges with Harlem`s most colourful residents are transmuted into a slippery, silky set of observations on what change & opportunity have wrought in this small corner of a big city, Harlem, with its outsize reputation & even-larger influence. Hers is a beguilingly well-written meditation on the essence of black Harlem, as it teeters on the brink of seeing its poorer residents & their rich histories turfed out by commercial developers intent on providing swish condos for cool-seeking (and mostly white) gentrifiers. In a mix of oral history, conversations with scholars & hobos, thoughtful musings on notable antecedents & illustrious Harlemites of the twentieth century, & her own story of migration (from Texas to Harlem via Harvard), Rhodes-Pitts exhibits a sensitivity & subtlety & stillness in her writing that is very impressive & very promising. There are echoes of Joan Didion`s distinctive rhythms & pauses in her prose, without it ever feeling derivative. This is an exceptionally striking & alluring debut. ...

` She`s experienced wealth, cultural alienation, homelessness, brushes with fame, prison, rehab, record deals, a million blown second chances, a dozen broken hearts & one bloody-knuckled ultimate spiritual redemption. She even died once in the process, & may very well have had sex with your wife back in the eighties...` Elizabeth Gilbert When she was seven, Rayya Elias & her upper-class family fled the political conflict in their native Syria, settling in a suburb of Detroit. Bullied in school & caught between the world of her traditional family & her tough American classmates, she rebelled early. Rayya moved to New York City to become a musician & kept herself afloat with an uncommon talent for cutting hair. Eventually though, Elias`s affairs with lovers of both sexes went awry, her (more than) occasional drug use turned to addiction & she found herself living on the streets
- between visits to jail. Told with a keen sense of humour & a lack of self-pity in even the most harrowing situations, Harley Loco is a memoir about jumping in head-first, no questions asked. It`s a book about living in the moment no matter what that might bring, & about pursuing, not always by choice, a life of extremes
- highs & lows, pain & passion
- until ultimately arriving at a place of contentment & peace.
