Reisgids 111 Adventures Around the World That You Must Not Miss | Stichting Kunstboek

Strandvondsten is een onmisbare gids voor de nieuwsgierige strandwandelaar. Aan de hand van teksten van zeekenner Hans De Blauwe en foto's van natuurfotograaf Misjel Decleer verneem je alles over je vondsten tijdens een wandeling aan het Noordzeestrand. Je leert er de belangrijkste dieren en planten herkennen: krabben, schelpen, kwallen, vissen, mosdiertjes of wieren. Maar ook niet levende strandvondsten krijgen een plaats, zoals visnetten, turfresten, stenen, hout, plastics, beenderen, haaientanden, potscherven... Iedere vondst wordt geïllustreerd met een of meerdere foto's en toegelicht in een korte tekst. Deze handige veldgids biedt urenlang ontdekkingsplezier en ontsluiert het boeiende verhaal achter ruim 400 verschillende vondsten op het strand. Een uniek en handig naslagwerk dat thuishoort in de bibliotheek van iedere natuurliefhebber!

New York, New York - a crazy quilt of evolving neighbourhoods, trends, and tastes, and home to natives and newcomers of every nationality, ethnicity, and outlook. New York City's history and grand ambitions live in every street, park, and hidden alleyway. This unusual guidebook invites the adventurous and curious to explore a wildly diverse selection of little-known places, including: a trapeze school, a giant Buddha in a former porno theatre, a Coney Island sideshow, Louis Armstrong's home, a Central Park croquet court, a Gatsby-era speakeasy, and a secret balcony where slaves worshipped 200 years ago.   Play chess with the masters on a Midtown office-tower wall; have a pint at a legendary prizefighter's hangout in Soho; whisper messages across a crowded train station. Unexpected and quirky, most of these destinations are so under-the-radar they will astound even longtime New Yorkers who thought they knew it all!
