Perched on the
north-western edge of
Europe, Ireland, with
its magnificent cliffs
and mountains, rolling
green hills and secluded
rivers and bogs, is a
place of legendary
beauty. It is also a land
with an extraordinary
natural and human
history. In this major
new book, acclaimed
nature writer Michael
Viney reveals in clear,
elegant language 'what is
special about Ireland's
natural fabric'. He
describes its timeless
ecosystem - an intricate
balance of plants,
animals, geology and
climate - from its
beginnings deep in the
past when rivers of
molten rock and enormous
glaciers stripped the
land bare. Demonstrating
the immensely varied but
fragile beauty of the
island, he passionately
argues that it must be
cherished and protected,
kept safe not only for
the Irish but for the
millions who come to
experience its gently
wild places.

weeks turned into nine

turned into running the

certainly never bought an

in Spain's glamorous
social scene is a

hedonistic place" -

walking in the country.
This book is a
celebration, rather than
a guide to the Pennine
Way. While covering the
important highlights, it
does not stick to the
designated route
religiously but meanders
from the official path
where there are points of
interest along the way.

Details: In our minds the
Caribbean is the
embodiment of paradise -
crystal blue waters,
magical coral reefs and
lush tropical forests.
Yet behind its tranquil
beauty, the Caribbean
conceals many dark and
mysterious secrets. Its
volcanic nature - both
destructive and creative,
powerful hurricanes and
tidal waves, and its
rich cultural past have
all left their marks,
carved into the character
of the individual
islands. Beautiful
photography brings the
islands to life in this
book: fluorescent
hummingbirds buzz past,
scarlet ibis fill the
sky, fearsome Cuban
crocodiles patrol the
waters and 70, 000
flamingos dance in an
unrivalled wildlife
spectacle. The Caribbean
is an area we may feel we
know, but even today it
is still a place of
wonder and discovery,
with new locations and
remarkable stories to
explore. Ideal for:
Travels fans who want to
learn more about the
hidden wonders of the
Caribbean This paperback

PLAYING CARDS IN CAIRO is
a fly-on-the-wall account
- like THE BOOKSELLER OF
KABUL - of life (for
western readers) in a
strange and exotic
environment. Hugh Miles
lives in Cairo and is
engaged to an Egyptian
woman. Twice a week he
plays cards with a small
group of Arab, Muslim
women and through this
medium he explores their
lives in modern Cairo,
the greatest of Arab
cities. It is a
secretive, romantic,
often deprived but always
soulful existence for the
women as they struggle
with abusive husbands and
philandering boyfriends.
The book is a window onto
a city - and a way of
life - which is at a
crucial juncture in its
history. Hugh Miles, who
knows the Arab world
intimately, is the
perfect guide.
