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.

The Baroque, for many the most thrilling architectural style ever created, was born in Rome & reached its apogee in the work of three geniuses born in the 1590`s
- Bernini, Borromini & Pietro da Cortona. Perhaps the greatest student of the style was Anthony Blunt, who spent a lifetime studying & teaching the work of these architects & their importance to us now. This elegant & concise introduction to the style & its flowering in Rome was first published in an anthology of essays in 1978, not long before Blunt died, & represents a summation of his teaching. It is republished here separately, copiously illustrated with contemporary engraved views & measured drawings. Many of these ravishing images have not been republished since the beginning of the 18th century. The combination of scintillating text & superb illustrations make this a delightful book as well as a must have on any student`s list.
