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!

Discover these and more hidden gems as the birthplace of ginger beef and the Caesar cocktail reveals to you why it’s so much more than just home to the Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth.

Montreal is so much more than its old world architecture and love of wine and cheese. The Quebecois metropolis is bursting with enough joie de vivre to make just about anyone want to get out and explore its cobblestoned and pothole-ridden streets — and true Montrealers know that the city has its own unique identity and quirks that place it in a league all its own. Spend a wine-fuelled cinq à sept with a ghost at the city’s oldest bar.   Get up close and personal with a life-like portrayal of Benito Mussolini. And go skating in the middle of the downtown core — any time of the year. This guide comes as a love letter to Canada’s largest French-speaking city and everything it has to offer its residents and travellers.   Visiting and full-time Montrealers alike will be pleasantly surprised by what can be discovered beyond the cobblestone and steeples if only you’re willing to take the side streets.
