Between 1920 & 1934, Gerald Brenan lived in the remote Spanish village of Yegen, & “ South from Granada” depicts his time there, vividly evoking the essence of his rural surroundings & the Andalucian way of life before the Civil War. He describes the landscapes, festivals & folklore of the Sierra Nevada, the rivalries, romances & courtship rituals, village customs, superstitions & local characters. Fascinating details emerge, from cheap brothels to archaeological remains, along with visits from Brenan’s friends in the Bloomsbury group
- Lytton Strachey & Virginia Woolf among them. Knowledgeable, elegant & sympathetic, this is a rich account of Spain’s vanished past.

One on side is a coloured topographic map compiled from earlier DOS 610 series mapping & more recent Landsat & Shuttle Radar Topography Mission data. Relief is represented by contours & spot heights, while bathymetric tinting is applied to the surrounding sea area. Lakes, ice-free areas, moraine & Shackleton's overland route of May 1916 are indicated, & additional symbols denote research stations & disused whaling stations. On the reverse is a satellite image map, mainly derived from Landsat data. Principal geographic features are named eg. glaciers & peaks. Spot heights, research stations, disused whaling stations, & Shackleton's overland route are marked but contours & bathymetry are omitted. Lines of latitude & longitude are shown at 20' intervals on both maps. ...

South Georgia & its offshore islands in the South Atlantic presented by the British Antarctic Survey on a double-sided map combining topographic mapping of the whole island at 1:200, 000 scale & detailed topographic mapping of the route of Shackleton’s crossing in May 1916 at 1:40, 000 scale. On one side is a map presenting the topography by contours at 100 m intervals with numerous trigonometric heights & spot heights. Colouring & graphics indicate ice-free terrain & moraine. Numerous glaciers, peaks, bays, etc, are named & the map shows locations of research stations & disused whaling stations. On the reverse side is a map covering the route which Sir Ernest Shackleton took during the first ever crossing of South Georgia from King Haakon Bay. This 1:40, 000 scale map uses data created from VHR satellite imagery including contours at 50 m intervals & spot heights of the main peaks. This side also has 1:25, 000 scale insets of key areas along the crossing, & a cross section showing elevation along the route. Exploratory notes provide historical background on South Georgia & full technical specifications including data sources & references. Full BAS reference for this title is ” Sheets BAS (Misc) 12A & 12B”. This title is also available flat. ...

South Georgia at 1:250, 000 on a tourist map showing the island’s topography, with descriptions of places of interest, plus extensive text on its history & wildlife, biographies of main explorers, a time line from 1675 to 2001, etc. The main map presents the island at 1:250, 000, naming numerous peaks & glaciers, mountain ranges, bays & islets, etc. Historic sites, former whaling stations & scientific stations are marked with 22 places of special interest including wildlife breeding sites & geographical features prominently highlighted & accompanied by descriptions. Latitude & longitude lines are drawn at 20’ intervals. A small inset shows South Georgia with the South Shetland Islands, highlighting three more interesting sites. The reverse side provides an introduction to the isl&, notes on its history & wildlife, a time line from the first sighting of South Georgia in 1675 to 2001, biographies of ten notable explorers connected with the island including Cook, Weddell & Shackleton. Also provided is a small map showing Shackleton’s route to & across South Georgia. ...

Topographic survey of Sweden at 1:50, 000, the Terrängkartan, from the Lantmäteriet, covering most of the country in 244 double-sided maps. Please note: the mountainous regions of central & northern Sweden are not covered by this series but presented in a separate “ Fjällkartan
- Mountain Map” series also listed on our website. Each 1:50, 000 topographic survey map covers an area of 37.5 x 40km. The maps have contours at 5 metre intervals, plus relief shading & graphics for rocky outcrops & boulders. Further graphics and/or colouring show different types of land use or vegetation (forests, arable l&, orchards, marshes, peat bogs, etc). An unusual feature of this survey is the colouring indicating buildings below or above two storeys high & “leisure/holiday homes”. The maps indicate privately maintained roads & include all other information expected of topographic survey at this scale. The maps have a 1-km UTM grid, plus latitude & longitude lines 5’ intervals.
