Reisverhaal The Teardrop Island | Cherry Briggs
Mr Fernando led me into a dark room that was lined with book-cases and smelled of leather and damp. The polished, concrete floor of the library was covered with white jasmine flowers that had blown through the windows during the storm. He began to select from the shelves a collection of disintegrating books. ‘If you are going to read any of them, it should really be this one,’ he said as he passed me two thick volumes, embossed with gold lettering and spotted with damp. The work was simply called Ceylon and was written by an Irishman named Sir James Emerson Tennent, who had been sent to the island in 1845 by Her Majesty’s Government.The Teardrop Island follows in the footsteps of the eccentric Victorian James Emerson Tennent, along a route which takes Cherry to pilgrimage trails, into tea estates and rural regions inhabited by indigenous tribes, as well as through restricted areas of the former warzone, delving under the surface of the contemporary culture via cricket matches and fort…

Reisgids - Reisverhaal Pocket Atlas of Remote Islands | Judith Schalansky
'Utterly exquisite.' Robert MacFarlane, Guardian'Gorgeous, lyrical and whimsical.' TimeBorn on the wrong side of the Berlin Wall, as a child Judith Schalansky could travel only through the pages of an atlas. Now she has created her own, taking us across the oceans of the world to fifty remote islands.

Reisgids Scottish Island Bagging | Vertebrate Publishing
Reisgids Scottish Island Bagging | Vertebrate Publishing
Erg mooie gids met aandacht voor 154 Schotse eilanden die de moeite waard zijn om te bezoeken.   Scottish Island Bagging by Helen and Paul Webster, founders of Walkhighlands, is a guide to the magical islands of Scotland.   Focusing on the ninety-nine islands that have regular trips or means of access for visitors, plus fifty-five other islands which have no regular transport but are still of significant size or interest, the authors have described the best ways to experience each one. Of the islands featured, many are household names – Skye, Lewis, Bute – while some, such as the isolated St Kilda archipelago and the remote Sula Sgeir, will be unknown to all but a hardcore few.   When it comes to things to see and do, the islands of Scotland have it all. Wildlife enthusiasts can watch out for otters, orcas and basking sharks, while birdwatchers in particular are spoilt: look out for the rare corncrake on Islay, sea eagles on Mull, or sight puffins, gannets, storm petrels and many othe…

Wegenkaart - landkaart - Fietskaart Vanouver Island south - Victoria | ITMB
ITMB wegenkaarten en wandelkaarten kenmerken zich door het kleurgebruik waarbij zo de nadruk wordt gelegd op de natuurkundige aspecten van het land of de streek. Het soort landschap en de hoogte worden hierdoor zeer duidelijk zichtbaar. Natuurlijk vind je ook de 'gewone' zaken als wegennet, spoorwegen, vliegvelden, ferrys, toeristische bezienswaardigheden en nationale parken er op terug.. Vaak - maar niet op alle kaarten - staat op de achterzijde een stadsplattegrond van hoofdstad of belangrijkste stad in de regio.  Voorzijde: Vancouver Island zuidelijk gedeelte met schaal 1:270.000 Achterzijde: stadsplattegrond Victoria met schaal 1:10.000 Victoria is a brand new title for ITMB. The city is the capital of British Columbia (each of Canada’s provinces and territories has its own capital, in addition to Ottawa for the entire country). Located at the southern tip of Vancouver Island, Victoria was established as the colonial capital after the Oregon Treaty of 1846 forced the British to ab…
