Siracusa Province in a series of handy size road maps from Litografia Artistica Cartografica (LAC) with more minor local roads & tracks than can be found on most regional maps. The series is gradually being changed to a new style of digitally derived cartography, so presentation of adjoining titles may vary. All the maps have hill shading to represent the general relief with spot heights for selected peaks, & show a few more local roads & rough tracks than the other road map series. Intermediate road distances are indicated. Regional, provincial & communal borders are marked, & railways, funiculars, airports, sea ferry links & campsites are shown. The legend is in Italian only. The new, digitally produced editions are indexed & have enhanced, more finely drawn cartography: the hill-shading is less bold, motorway service areas are marked, natural parks are highlighted & an expanded range of symbols indicates various landmarks & sites, e.g. antiquities, churches, etc. Two styles of the new cartography are produced, differing only in the colour of the predominant background shading: grey or yellow/green. Some of the new editions include geographical coordinates for the map corners. The index of localities is on the reverse. This title is now published with digital cartography. ...

Norman Douglas, one of the 20th century`s great travellers in Italy, was for most of his life inextricably, passionately, connected to the Bay of Naples. This breathtaking sweep of sea & coastline
- dominated by Vesuvius & with Pozzuoli & Sorrento standing sentinel
- was Douglas` first experience of Italy. It was here, on the island of Capri, that he died, some 55 years after first buying a villa in Naples. ” Siren Land”, Douglas` first travel book, is a homage to a part of the world that captivated him more than any other. Weaving the myths of the Sirens into the landscape & history of the region, Douglas writes with knowledge & an irrepressible exuberance of the past & the present, of legends & archaeology, folklore & daily life, patron saints, local ghosts, wine & the wind. As the summer draws to a close, Douglas` prose becomes suffused with a melancholy tinged with excitement at what still remains to be discovered: `relics of Roman rule, of old Hellas, or medieval romance... These are the delights of Siren Land`. ` What makes ” Siren Land” exceptional is the quality of the telling. Weaving scholarship, impressions, fact & fantasy into an intricate fabric as enchantingly entertaining & full of human interest as the best of fairy tales or ancient myths. One of the most memorable books of its genre`
- Mark Holloway, in his introduction to ” Siren Land”.
