Will Randall travels with a purpose, as well as an outrageous sense of fortune. In INDIAN SUMMER he found himself, by chance, having the extraordinary experience of helping slum schoolchildren put on a play to help save their school. In Botswana he was taken up by a headmaster to teach a class of six year olds at The River of Life school. They are football crazy & one of Will`s jobs is to take them to play neighbouring (sometimes as much as 100 miles away) schools. Camping en-route or staying in farms & rural villages, often travelling by foot or dug-out punts, thousands of antelope, elephant, buffalo & zebra follow their progress. The sound of lions, leopards & hyenas become the soundtrack of their dreams. Against all the odds they find themselves preparing for the Grand Final of the season
- the titanic clash with arch rivals, Victoria Falls Primary school. Both an endearing personal story & a travel book about a little-known but highly successful country, BOTSWANA TIME will win new fans for both Will Randall & the extraordinary country of Botswana.

This anthology is a collection of rich material about Botswana from David Livingstone in the 1850sto President Ian Khama today. The anthology is divided into three parts, the Years of Danger 1852 to 1885, the Protectorate Period 1885 to 1966 & the Independent State 1966 to 2009. It is neither a comprehensive history nor a record of the key documents during those years. But it does seek to give the reader a feel for the country & a better understanding of those three well defined periods. The very varied material has been drawn from a wide range of sources. It

Includes:: extracts, some longer, some very short, from published books & newspapers, from unpublished letters, court judgments, & speeches. Each item has been selected because of its intrinsic value & interest. By using the comments of people, both local & foreign, the Anthology provides a balanced record of some of the events & personalities of those 157 years. Its underlying & unambiguous intention is to open doors which may previously have been closed, to inform, to excite, & with luck, entertain & perhaps even surprise.

` Brussels & all those Eurocrats on the gravy train? It`s just so boring. Why, you can`t even name ten famous Belgians!` Until 1993, Alec had never been to Belgium, so it came as some surprise when in August that year he found himself at the altar of a small church in Flanders, reciting wedding vows in Flemish. It was the start, for better or for worse, of a long relationship with this unassuming & much maligned little country. As he ordered yet another pint of Stella, it dawned on him that perhaps it was time to immerse himself in Belgian culture, especially when there were over a hundred locally produced beers on the menu. He vowed to put worldwide opinion to the test: just how boring can Belgium be? ...

Falk, one of Germany's leading publishers of street plans, produce their town plans in two different formats. Falk Extra plans are folded in a standard way, where the whole map can be opened to view the entire area it covers. For larger cities, the same mapping is also published with a special folding system designed to show only a small section of the map at one time. The whole map can be opened but it will be cut in several places. Many find these street plans very user-friendly & easier to handle than conventional maps. The plans, which cover towns with their outer suburbs, indicate main landmarks & public buildings & show all the public transport facilities, one way streets & car parks. Plans of lager cities include a separate map of the town centre at a more detailed scale & a diagram of the underground & the suburban rail network. The plans also show the postal divisions & have an extensive street index which, where appropriate, shows individual postal codes for each street. Map legend

Includes:: English. Falk Extra plans also include on the reverse a road map of the surrounding area.
