Reisgids Vir in Via | Bradt Travel Guides
Vir in Via is a travel guidebook to the modern city of Rome - but with an ancient twist: it brings together a contemporary city walking guide with a traditional archaeological survey. Whether exploring Italy's vibrant capital or delving into its past is your thing, this rich book will prove both useful and fascinating.

Reisverhaal Black Sea | Neal Ascherson
Reisverhaal Black Sea | Neal Ascherson
An acclaimed, award-winning book on a fascinating subject, recently revised and updated by the author. Black Sea is a homage to an ocean and its shores and a meditation on Eurasian history, from the earliest times to the present. It explores the culture, history and politics of the volatile region which surrounds the Black Sea.       Ascherson recalls the world of Herodotus and Aeschylus; Ovid's place of exile on what is now the coast of Romania; the decline and fall of Byzantium; the mysterious Christian Goths; the Tatar Khanates; the growth of Russian power across the grasslands, and the centuries of war between Ottoman and Russian Empires around the Black Sea. He examines the terrors of Stalinism and its fascist enemy, both striving for mastery of these endlessly colourful and complex shores, and investigates the turbulent history of modern Ukraine.       This is a story of Greeks, Scythians, Samatians, Huns, Goths, Turks, Russians, Ukrainians and Poles. This is the sea where Euro…

Wandelgids Wales Coast Path: Snowdonia and Ceredigion | Northern Eye Books
Official Guide: Wales Coast Path: Snowdonia & Ceredigion Coast One of seven Official Guides to the Wales Coast Path This Official Guide to the Snowdonia & Ceredigion Coast section of the Wales Coast Path contains everything local and long-distance walkers need to enjoy the path.   Cardigan Bay probably offers a more diverse walking experience than any other section of the Wales Coast Path. The stretch covered in this book – from Porthmadog in the north to Cardigan in the south – largely covers two contrasting Welsh counties.   The first 97 kilometres pass through Gwynedd, along the western edge of the Snowdonia National Park. Here, just before the rivers that rise in the highest of the Welsh mountains reach the sea, they fan out to form broad estuaries that provide rich pickings for waders and other birdlife. The estuaries of the Dwyryd, the Mawddach and the Dyfi are the largest of these. Between them are some very large dune systems, including Morfa Harlech and Morfa Dyffryn – home t…
