    Reisverhaal Himalaya | Michael Palin
    Reisverhaal Himalaya | Michael Palin
    Michael Palin tackles the full length of the Himalaya in this terrific number one bestseller. Having risen to the challenge of seas, poles, dhows and deserts, the highest mountains in the world were a natural target for Michael Palin. In a journey rarely, if ever, attempted before, in 6 months of hard travelling Palin takes on the full length of the Himalaya including the Khyber Pass, the hidden valleys of the Hindu Kush, ancient cities like Peshawar and Lahore, the mighty peaks of K2, Annapurna and Everest, the gorges of the Yangtze, the tribal lands of the Indo-Burmese border and the vast Brahmaputra delta in Bangladesh.   Facing altitudes as high as 17,500 feet as well as some of the world's deepest gorges, Palin also passed through political flashpoints like Pakistan's remote north-west frontier, terrorist-torn Kashmir and the mountains of Nagaland, only recently open to visitors.

    Reisverhaal Into Iraq | Michael Palin
    Reisverhaal Into Iraq | Michael Palin
    In March 2022, Michael Palin travelled the length of the River Tigris through Iraq to get a sense of what life is like in a region of the world that once formed the cradle of civilisation, but that in recent times has witnessed turmoil and appalling bloodshed. In the journal he kept during his trip he describes the war-ravaged city of Mosul and the children he encounters growing up amid its ruins. He contemplates the graffiti-strewn ruins of Saddam Hussein's former palaces, and he notes the constant presence of armed guards. But there are patches of light amid the dark: boisterous New Year celebrations in Akre, the friendliness of generals and colonels at 'Checkpoint Cheerful', and public poetry readings in Baghdad. People getting on with their lives. At the same time, Michael charts the course of one of the great rivers of the world, showing how the water that gave life to such ancient settlements as Babylon and Ur is now becoming a scarce and hotly contested resource. And he consid…

    Fotoboek Greece | Amber Books
    Regarded as the cradle of Western civilization, Greece is the birthplace of democracy, Western philosophy, Western literature, political science, major mathematical principles and Western drama, as well as the Olympic Games. But it is also a country of mountains – 80 per cent of the country is mountainous – as well as islands – of more than 1,000 islands, 227 are inhabited. And it has the longest coastline of any Mediterranean country.   From antiquity to modernity, from the tallest mountains to the tiniest islands, from the Romans to the Venetians to the Ottomans, Greece is a beautiful photographic exploration of this fascinating country. Arranged by region, the book celebrates such classical highlights as Athens’s Acropolis, the ruins at Mycenae in the Peloponnese, the Byzantine churches of Thessaloniki and the ancient Temple at Delphi. It also explores the beauty of the islands of the Aegean and the Ionian Sea, the Zagori mountains in the northwest of the country and the hydrotherm…

    Wandelgids 044 Pathfinder Guides Essex | Ordnance Survey
    Wandelgids 044 Pathfinder Guides Essex | Ordnance Survey
    Pathfinder Guide to Essex offers excellent lowland walking in the south-east of England. The routes are all circular exploring the finer countryside of the county, in a series of parkland, farmland, woodland and coastal and estuarine walks, visiting its places of historic interest, attractive towns and charming villages. Given the pleasant and undramatic nature of the terrain, routes only really vary in length in terms of difficulty and there is a general progression through the book from shortest to longest. Beginning with a short walk linking Laindon Common with Great and Little Burstead, encountering the infant River Crouch, the book progresses to a near 10-mile excursion across Bradwell Marsh, with its wide open horizons, and a visit to the isolated and tiny Saxon chapel of St Peter-on-the-Wall. Sea air can also be taken on walks from Walton-on-the-Naze, a circuit of the eastern end of Mersea Island, along St Osyth Creek, at Maldon, from Burnham-on-Crouch, and overlooking Benfleet…
