One of the titles in a series of large, indexed regional maps with fine, clear cartography. General relief is portrayed by hill-shading with selected spot heights without distracting from the other detail.

The maps highlight picturesque towns & national parks, with a range of symbols marking campsites, youth hostels, museums, spas, various landmarks & places of interest, etc. Latitude & longitude grid is drawn at intervals of 10’. Map legend

Includes:: English. A separate index attached to the cover gives the postcode for each locality, including those beyond the German territory on sheets covering border regions.

On Disneyland`s ` Jungle Cruise`, three men are forever chased up a palm tree by a rhinoceros whose sharp horn moves endlessly just out of reach of the lowest man`s bottom. Having lived with the memory of this ride since childhood, the author was struck when she came across a reference to this `natives up a tree` scene in an 1838 natural history description. Such images have demonized rhinos for generations; this book examines how such a solitary animal came to earn such a bad reputation. Rhinoceros` wildness has roots in the ancient, prehistoric & mythic. Many sightings of the rhinoceros were thought to prove the existence of the mythical unicorn, which was said to be impossible to capture alive. Later the rhino was captured, & a few were brought to Europe throughout the Renaissance to the 18th century to be displayed as wonders of nature. In America, the first rhinoceros arrived in 1830 & was hailed as the most savage of animals, & thereafter it became the most desired hunting trophy. No wonder that these animals are now an endangered species when we also consider that rhino horn is much sought after as an ingredient in Asian medicine.” Rhinoceros” explores sources ranging from film & literature, to natural history description & exhibition, & asks whether the savagery of the rhino is a reality or a legacy of its mythic past. Well illustrated & persuasively argued, ” Rhinoceros” will appeal to all enthusiasts eager to learn about the culture, history & nature of this animal, as well as specialists, from art historians to conservation biologists. ...
