In addition to all the usual information featured on topographic mapping at this scale, detailed presentation of the road & rail networks, rural tracks & paths, etc, the maps also show campsites & mountain refuges. On more recent editions some GRs, the official long-distance hiking routes, are also marked (although not as clearly as on hiking maps from other publishers). Each map covers 29.5x 18.5 km (with adjustments in the border or coastal areas). The maps have a 1-km UTM grid, plus margin ticks for latitude & longitude at 1` intervals. Map legend is in Spanish only.HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT 50K MAP: all the titles in CNIG’s 200K Provincial Road Maps series at 1:200, 000 are overprinted with the grid for the 1:50, 000 maps & can be used to see the area covered by each 50K title.

- MAP TITLES: the grids shown on our website serve both the civilian & the military 1:50, 000 topographic series. Although the areas covered by maps in both series are identical (apart from some border or coastal sheets), occasionally map titles differ – only one title is shown on the grid, usually the military one. In Galicia, the Basque country & in the Catalan speaking areas the tendency now is to use local place names rather than the often better known Castilian ones. Where possible, both versions are included in our titles. Map titles listed on our website are based on information received by us at the time of publication, but sometimes maps arrive showing a completely different title!

Jill Dudley relates the various myths regarding the founding of the Olympic Games. She takes the reader around the main buildings on the site where the athletes took their vows, & the victors were crowned before the cult statue of the supreme god Zeus in his temple; this statue was one of the seven wonders of the world. It is as it says on the back cover of the booklet: All you need to know about the sacred site, its myths, legends & its gods. ...

The Olympic Games is the biggest sporting event on the planet & has developed beyond all proportion since Baron Pierre du Coubertin first raised the idea of reviving the Ancient Olympic ideal in 1889. The first modern Olympic Games, appropriately held in Athens in 1896, featured only 241 athletes from 14 countries; by the time the event hits London in 2012, 4, 200 athletes from up to 208 countries will compete in front of a global television audience of 6.7 billion. In the intervening 116 years, some of the greatest stories in world sport have been written & names have been etched into sporting folklore. ” The Olympic Games & World Records Book” is a collection of the finest achievements on sport`s greatest platform & a celebration of the legends created by some of the most distinguished names in sporting history. It is essential reading for any fan of the Olympic Games
- the greatest & most revered spectacle in world sport.

This title gives a fascinating look at the modern Olympic Games, from Athens 1896 to the build-up to London 2012, via Approx. 230 photographs
- each with a description
- taken from the world-famous archives of Getty Images. The emphasis is on the two previous Games held in London, in 1908 & 1948, but there are photos from all the summer Games, as well as some winter Games & Paralympic Games. Photos of iconic moments & famous athletes are included, but this is not a conventional history nor a round-up of already well documented incidents; it also features unsung & forgotten athletes, unusual sports, official posters, spectators, background staff, buildings & symbols. Many of the photographs have never been published before. By turns informative & astonishing, heroic & daring, quirky & amusing, the result is a dynamic & absorbing visual biography of the Olympic Games through the ages.
