    Wandelgids The West Highland Way | Birlinn
    Wandelgids The West Highland Way | Birlinn
    The West Highland Way Official Guide is de officiele gids met wandelroutekaart voor de meest beroemde lange afstandswandelroute door Schotland. Zeer handig is de bijgevoegde wandelkaart van Harvey. ‘If the objective of a guide book is to impart essential information, then this guide achieves that and famously; minute directional detail, location of campsites, bunkhouses, hostels, huts and bothies, services and supplies, equipment, training and preparation, countryside code, even a map ... But this guide exceeds that purpose. It is an evocation of all that is best about Scotland and its countryside’ – Bruce Sandison, The Herald   Opened in 1980, the West Highland Way was Scotland’s first Long Distance Route and remains the most popular, with more than 15,000 walkers tackling it each year.

The 152km route passes along the east of Loch Lomond, the largest expanse of fresh water in Britain, and across Rannoch Moor, Scot…

    The history of oncology (Hardback)
    The history of oncology (Hardback)
    'The story of oncology is not only fascinating but also contains many accounts of dead ends, chance discoveries, illusions, mistakes and disappointments alongside the few successes.'These words are taken from the introduction to this book. The author, professor emeritus of Medical Oncology, reviews all aspects of the problem of cancer from a historical perspective, from the oldest existing records to the latest scientific and medical advances. It will interest the many people engaged in the treatment of cancer to read how the current therapeutic methods came about, and the book may also provide inspiration for cancer researchers, and for all those directly or indirectly involved with cancer. The layman looking for background information on a particular treatment may find it useful too. The various chapters can be read independently. A glossary and a few explanatory diagrams augment the text.This book grew out of an invitation the author received to lecture on the history of oncology.

    Wandelgids Hadrian's coastal route | The History Press
    Wandelgids Hadrian's coastal route | The History Press
    Dit is meer een reisgids dan een wandelgids: de kaarten zijn slechts schetsmatig, een wandelkaart er bij is wel zo handig! Hadrian's Wall, running from Wallsend to Bowness, is a much visited attraction and an iconic landmark with over 200 years of serious research behind it. The Western Frontier has had barely 70 but through the efforts of a small band of archaeologists and the Hadrian's Wall Heritage Trust Ltd this is gradually changing. The frontier route followed in this guide, running from Ravenglass to Bowness on Solway, is punctuated by Roman forts, the visible remains of a frontier of watchtowers, mileforts and manned bases. ‘Be part of history, walk a frontier lost for over fifteen hundred years.’The Western Hadrianic Frontier of the Roman Empire is little known by the general public. Until recently the frontier was viewed as merely a series of forts with a fluid means of defence and administration between them, and the public was understandably drawn to the physical remains o…

    Wegenkaart - landkaart Georgia & Armenia - Georgië & Armenië | ITMB
    Een degelijke kaart met aanduidingen van o.a. nationale parken, vliegveld, benzinepomp, dirt-roads en kleine plattegrond van hoofdstad. De kracht van deze kaart is dat met kleurgebruik het landschap en de hoogtes heel duidelijk zichtbaar zijn, de natuurkundige aspecten van het land worden daardoor benadrukt. Als overzichtskaart goed te gebruiken. Met een stadsplattegrond (klein) van het cdentrum van Tiblisi en Yerevan. Europeans consider Georgia to be in Asia because, by an accident of history, the country ended up on the wrong side of an arbitrary line drawn through some rolling hills called the Caucasus. Regardless, this is a European country, bound by ethnicity, history, and religion to the west, not the east.   The country has been threatened fairly recently by the Russian bear, but the country is recovering and the people are warm and hospitable.   Historically, Georgia has much to offer – ancient cities, churches and monasteries, mountain villages, and everywhere, smiling f…
