Rolwaling & Everest region in the Newgrove Consultants’ series covering the course of Great Himalaya Trail High Route at 1:100, 000 on nine maps printed on light, waterproof & tear-resistant plastic paper. The map is single-sided & covers an area between Suri Dobhan & the Daldung La pass across the Sagarmatha National Park & past the Ambulpch La pass. Overprint for local treks shows the Mt Everest, Gokyo Lakes & Island Peak trails. The base map, derived from satellite imagery, has contours at 200m intervals enhanced by relief shading & colouring to show glaciers, the snow line at 6000m, barren l&, forests, etc. Numerous spot heights are marked in the high-laying areas, but not very many & in places none on the south side of the trail. Important peaks & mountain passes are prominently marked. Boundaries of national parks & other protected areas are also shown. The High Route of the GHT is clearly highlighted & adjoining local routes are divided into main trails & footpaths. Icons indicate locations of campsites & hotels/lodges, health posts, stupas, gompas & mani walls both along the GHT itself & in other locations on the map. Settlements are graded into large towns, towns, villages & small villages. The maps have latitude & longitude lines at intervals of 5’. All information is in English. Seven of the maps are double-sided, with the last three maps covering the easternmost part of the country from Rolwaling Himal & Mt Everest to Kanchenjunga on single-sided maps. PEASE NOTE: Sheet No. 1, Far West, covers an area outside the course of the High Route. It shows the route of the Lower Great Himalaya Trail. According to the publishers’ notes: “ The maps have been created & published by Newgrove Consultants on behalf of The Great Himalaya Trail Development Programme which is funded by the UK Department for International Development & managed by SNV Netherland’s Development Organization. United Nations World Tourism Organization through its “ Sustainable Tourism – Eliminating Poverty” programme ahs played a key role in bringing the project into fruition. The maps are based on data from the National Geographic Information Infrastructure Programme (NGIIP) of Nepal. The International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) also provided low scale data. Trekkers & guides have been consulted on current routes.” ...

Rolwaling Himal (Gaurisankar) region at 1:50, 000 in a series of detailed topographic maps of selected trekking areas of Nepal originally prepared by E. Schneider & now edited by the German Scientific Association of Comparative High-Mountain Research (Arbeitsgemeinschaft für vergleichende Hochgebirgsforschung). Traditionally referred to as “the Schneider maps”, titles in this series cover Nepal’s most popular trekking regions at 1:50, 000 or 1:100, 000. The maps were originally prepared by the Austrian climber & cartographer Erwin Schneider & for nearly five decades provided the best & often the only coverage of these areas. Now sponsored by the German Scientific Association of Comparative High-Mountain Research (Arbeitsgemeinschaft für vergleichende Hochgebirgsforschung), the maps are still"ed in most trekking guides to Nepal. Most maps have contours at 40-m intervals &, with bold relief shading & colouring for the glaciers, provide a vivid representation of the terrain. Margin ticks & crosshairs give UTM coordinates plus latitude & longitude. Map legend is in English. As the series is currently being revised to include more trekking information, please see the individual descriptions for more details.

As a result the remains of Roman baths have resisted demolition & subsequent damage by the plough. The purpose of this book is to explain how Roman baths came to be built, how they were constructed, how they were used & how they worked. Tony Rook is a building technologist & an Extramural Tutor in Archaeology.
