To venture into the jungle & look a tiger in the eye, to marvel at the fantastic monument of the Taj Mahal, to watch pilgrims bathe in the holy waters of the Ganges
- moments like these are among the highlights of a trip to India. In this new pictorial work by Axel Gomille, you can experience the magic of this exotic land: a world of contrasts, of ever-changing colours, exotic scents & unfamiliar sounds, that seduces all of your senses all at once. Axel Gomille is particularly intrigued by the unique connection between nature & culture, that is so characteristic of India. Over the past twenty years, he has returned again & again to the subcontinent with his camera to document the rich fauna & its close links to human society. In the jungle he found tigers, sloth bears, elephants & many other animals. In the swamps he observed crocodiles & fell under the spell of the exotic bird life. He visited temples & palaces that recall the splendour of a bygone era, & at a camel fair market in the Thar Desert he was transported back to the Middle Ages. The text & photographs in this book pay homage to one of the most beautiful, most diverse & most fascinating countries in the world.

Leap & Hop India By Isabelle Demenge Illustration by Emilie Sarnel Leap & Hop is a series of travel books written especially for children by Isabelle Demenge with illustrations by Emilie Sarnel. The idea of the series is to turn a ”grown-up” trip into a fun adventure for children. These interactive books aim at getting children to discover new places & learn about other cultures through interesting information as well as games & activities. For parents, the books provide an ideal way to stick to a grown-up itinerary with a focus on cultural sites, & to create an unforgettable travel experience for their children. As kids play along by drawing, writing, & collecting items of interest throughout the journey, they`ll find themselves creating a very personal souvenir as the book is transformed into a travel scrapbook for them to keep. Leap & Hop India focuses on Agra & Rajasthan. Kids can learn to distinguish between history & myths surrounding the Taj Mahal, go on a scavenger hunt in the palaces of maharajahs in Udaipur, write their name in Hindi, & read about the palace intrigues of the Mughal emperors, among others. ...

India, Living in an Ornate World explores as to why India is so rich in colour & ornamentation & why it has such a diversity of culture & architecture. There is still a large part of the population who prefer to continue living their traditional life in old-world settings. Their buildings reflect their long artistic & creative history. This can be seen in all levels of society. A modest dwelling in India can give as much an indication of this as can a palace. The lives of people in streets tend to be lived in public. The street is the extension of the house. A large part of this life is carried out on the streets & is often shared with many different animals due to the Hindu love of them. The photographs in this book aimed to catch many of these scenes. ...

Map No. J-9D in the TPC series: military topographic survey mapping covering the world's land masses & significant islands at 1:500, 000. The maps are useful as general topographical coverage where nothing else is available, although they are designed primarily as flying charts for military aircraft. TPC stands for Tactical Pilotage Chart. Relief is portrayed by a combination of contours (basic interval 500ft, intermediate contours shown where appropriate), elevation tinting & relief shading, plus spot heights. Towns, villages, major roads, railways & airports are shown but please note that many of the smaller settlements are not named & the road information is not necessarily up to date, as compilation & revision dates vary. Some air navigation information also appears on the map, such as radio beacons & restricted flying zones. Each TPC chart has both UTM & latitude/longitude grids overprinted on it, with additional margin ticks. IMPORTANT
- PLEASE NOTE: The series is gradually being withdrawn from sale to the general public & some sheets may no longer be available when ordered by us. Due to the nature of the map projection assembling these sheets to make a larger map is not recommended. in addition, colours used for relief are not constant throughout the series. In some areas of central Africa & South America the maps have blank spaces, reflecting localized deficiencies or inconsistencies in the survey data.
