Trolls and angry gnomes

Dit handzame gidsje is een goed hulpmiddel voor het spotten van de sporen van meest voorkomende dieren in zuidelijk Afrika. Met kleurenfoto's, tekeningen van pootafdrukken en kaartjes van leefgebieden. The First Field Guide to Animal Tracks of Southern Africa will help to decipher the more common tracks encountered in southern Africa. The animal's spoor may vary according to its age, mass, sex and condition. It may also have a unique way of walking or a particular habit that distinguishes it from other individuals of the same species. People today are often not familiar with the immense variety of animal life that surrounds them, simply because most animals are rarely seen. To a 'spoor conscious' tracker, however, animal tracks may reveal the activities of a multitude of animals. Leopards, for example, are very elusive and thus hardly ever seen. They have the uncanny ability to live near human settlements, often on the periphery of large cities. Finding leopard tracks in unexpected pl…

In dit nieuwe, prachtig uitgevoerde fotoboek laat Karel Tomeï ons Nederland zien zoals we het kennen maar nooit eerder hebben gezien.   In onze tijd lijkt, mede door ontwikkelingen als satellietfoto's, drones en Google Earth, de luchtfotografie haast een alledaags verschijnsel. Juist nu we zo gewend raken aan de blik van boven, zoals we dat met een muisklik op ons beeldscherm eenvoudig kunnen realiseren en juist nu we zo vertrouwd zijn met het zelf dagelijks fotograferen van onze directe omgeving, is een zorgvuldig samengestelde serie beelden als van Karel Tomeï zo waardevol. Het sluit aan op een eeuwenoude traditie, die terugvoert op de zeventiende-eeuwse prentseries van Hollandse steden en het appelleert tegelijkertijd aan het verlangen naar landschappelijk schoon zoals dat door tal van fotografen telkens opnieuw wordt vastgelegd. In dit boek komen deze systematische en esthetische benadering samen.   Tomeï maakte zijn eerste foto's al op vijfjarige leeftijd en specialiseerde zich i…

Our classic wall map of France, Belgium, and the Netherlands shows political boundaries, major highways and roads, cities and towns, and a wealth of other incredibly accurate geographic detail.  n France the map shows the division of the country into regions, with a list of their names and regional capitals (curiously, Corsica is not included on the map – what would Napoleon think of that?). The map also provides plenty of names of both geographical features (Pyrenees, Cevennes, etc) and the country’s traditional historical regions (Gascony, Maine, Bourbonais, etc). National parks are highlighted.   Within Belgium the map indicates the division into Flanders, Wallonia and the Brussels Region and in the Netherlands boundaries of the country’s administrative provinces are marked.   Topography is shown by relief shading and within the Netherlands the areas below the sea level are also indicated. The map shows the network of main road and rail connections, local airports, as well as ferry…

The Galapagos archipelago is one of the most famous destinations on Earth for lovers of natural history. Straddling the equator in the Pacific Ocean c. 1000 km west of Ecuador lies ‘the world’s natural laboratory’ with its large radiations of mockingbirds and Darwin’s finches. These remote islands of volcanic origin have been colonized by a remarkable and diverse wildlife, many of the animals being quite fearless of man. With 33 endemic bird species plus 12 endemic subspecies, and six endemic mammals, the islands are unsurprisingly popular with birders and general naturalists alike. This comprehensive field guide covers all of the birds and mammals known to occur, providing the latest insights on field identification and taxonomy for challenging groups such as pelagic birds, Darwin’s finches, and cetaceans. The Galapagos is also known for its vagrants, which too are covered in detail, including several new records not published previously. Many hypothetical and potential species have …

Ted Simon is the author of the classic travel book JUPITER'S TRAVELS. It documents his four-year journey round the world by motorbike, travelling through Europe, Africa, South and North America, and Asia. A number one bestseller in the late 1970s, it is still regarded as one of the greatest motorcycle books - indeed, one of the greatest travel books - ever written. In 2001, at the age of 69, Ted Simon decided to retrace his journey, and DREAMING OF JUPITER is the result. It took him two and a half years - during which time he revisited all the countries he had travelled through in the 1970s. He found much had changed, and he reflects upon the increased poverty, political upheavals, environmental issues and indeed the changes in himself. But ultimately, DREAMING OF JUPITER is a hugely inspiring read with a positive message at its heart - that even at the age of 70 you can still set off on an adventure, and be surprised and excited by what life throws at you along the way. *'Gloriously …
