Korea is a global phenomenon. K-pop tops the charts, kimchi spices up meals and K-drama dominates TV screens. Now, it's time to discover more of the country and culture that's captivated the world.

It might be a powerhouse of popular culture, but South Korea is so much more than BTS and bibimbap - and with this book, it's yours to explore. Dive deeper into the country behind Hallyu and discover why it was long known as the Hermit Kingdom, who the incredible haenyeo divers of Jeju Island are and how age was once calculated in three different ways. Along the way, you'll get to know the people who've shaped the country and its customs, uncover the makings of the Hallyu and, of course, explore the global exports we all know and love.

How many varieties of kimchi are there? Why did Squid Game receive mixed reactions in Korea? And what, exactly, is the "glass skin" beauty effect? Find out all this and more in this must-have book: the perfect introduction to this wonderfully varied country.

Er planter bedre problemløsere enn mennesker? Stefano Mancuso mener det, og i Planterevolusjonen gir han en overbevisende vitenskapelig begrunnelse.

Planter utgjør 80 prosent av alt levende på jorden, og likevel er det så lett å glemme at disse små, unnselige organismene ikke bare er ansvarlig for livsviktig oksygen, men også for mye vi tar for gitt i vårt moderne liv: medisin, mat og fossilt brennstoff.

Stefano Mancuso, en av verdens ledende forskere på plantenes nevrobiologi, viser i denne boken plantenes overraskende evne til innovasjon, til å huske og å lære, og dermed vise oss kreative løsninger på de mest presserende teknologiske og økologiske problemer vi står overfor i dag. Til tross for at planter verken har hjerne eller et sentralnervesystem, «leser» de i enda større grad enn dyr sine omgivelser. De utforsker effektivt og reagerer raskt på mulige ytre farer, og takket være deres desentraliserte kommandolinjer er de i stand til å huske tidligere farlige situasjoner og tilpasse seg nye omstendigheter.

Published to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the military mission that changed World War II, D-Day Landings: A Travel Guide to Normandy's Beaches and Battlegrounds is Bradt's new guidebook to visiting beaches, memorials, museums, battlefields and other sites associated with D-Day and the Battle of Normandy (Operation Overlord). A simple-to-follow, portable guide for independent travellers, it includes maps and driving instructions to help visitors go back in time to explore World War II history. Written by two experienced travel writers who, between them, are experts in France and military history, D-Day Landings is designed for visitors who want to see all or part of Normandy.

Covering the ground from the D-Day landing beaches (Sword, Juno, Gold, Omaha and Utah) up to Cherbourg and inland to Falaise, it encompasses every major site and a host of smaller, less well-known locations - venturing well beyond the coast to include sites associated with the capture of Caen and the closing of the Falaise Gap, which marked the end of the Overlord campaign. Although organised geographically - as befits a travel guide rather than history book - there's plenty of information on the historical context, identifying where sites fit into the timeline of the Battle of Normandy and escorting readers through the invasion in a simple, practical format. D-Day Landings aims to enhance the visitor experience by alerting readers to unexpected features, such as a German tobruk with a gun turret around which Utah Beach Museum was constructed.

This new, thoroughly updated fifth edition of Bradt's Northern Tanzania Safari Guide remains the only full-length guidebook focussed exclusively on the country's north and on Zanzibar. Reflecting tourism's shift away from backpackers and budget camping safaris to upper-end and mid-range safaris and beach holidays, it is tailored closely to the requirements of anyone going on a safari to northern Tanzania, followed by a few days on Zanzibar. Northern Tanzania is dominated by Africa's finest safari circuit, offering spectacular game-viewing year round.

Centred on the legendary Serengeti National Park and its world-famous wildebeest migration, this circuit also incorporates the Ngorongoro Crater and surrounding Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Lake Manyara and Tarangire national parks. Geographically northern Tanzania is one of Africa's most varied regions, with a palm-fringed Indian Ocean coastline complemented by the scenic wonders of the Great Rift Valley, and several impressive volcanically formed mountains, most notably snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro, the tallest peak in Africa and a popular goal for hikers. Lesser-known gems include the prehistoric rock art at Kondoa (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), the forested Arusha National Park and Amani Nature Reserve, and the spectacular Ol Doinyo Lengai - Africa's most active volcano.

Serviced by a well-developed safari industry, northern Tanzania's superlative reserves are complemented by a stopover on the legendary Spice Island of Zanzibar. With its atmospheric old town, idyllic beaches and offshore reefs teeming with marine life, it is every bit as evocative as its name. Written by acknowledged Africa experts and prolific guidebook writers Philip Briggs and Chris McIntyre, this guide prioritises practical information about the area's peerless collection of national parks, game reserves and other safari destinations.

Accommodation listings for the safari destinations are the most detailed and authoritative available, the authors weeding through the ever-growing number of lodges and camps to create a critically selective list of the best properties across all price points. Meanwhile, a colour wildlife field guide provides great detail about wildlife and where to see it. All in all, Northern Tanzania Safari Guide is the most authoritative source available for visitors - an essential travel companion for both first-time visitors and seasoned safari-goers.

Buen Camino! Når du tar på deg støvlene og begynner på vandringen vestover mot Santiago de Compostela, tar du også et steg inn i Den iberiske halvøyas kulturhistorie. Gjennom århundrene har millioner av pilegrimer gjort den samme vandringen, funnet stillhet i de samme kapellene underveis og slukket tørsten i de samme kildene.

I denne boken finner du alt du trenger å vite for å gå den mest kjente og populære pilegrimsleden i verden, El Camino Francés. Den er et svært nyttig reisefølge på den 800 kilometer lange vandringen, og gir deg praktisk støtte hele veien fra den landsbyen Saint Pied de Port på den franske siden av Pyreneene fram til Santiago de Compostela. Her kan du for eksempel lett .nne ut hvor langt det er til neste by eller herberge, en god hjelp for å avgjøre om du skal stanse for dagen eller gå et stykke videre. Boken legger også stor vekt på at du skal få en historisk og kulturell bakgrunn for det du ser langs veien, og berike din opplevelse.

Boken forteller deg hvordan du forbereder deg før turen, og kartene viser tydelig hver av dagsetappene, inkludert de tre etappene fra Santiago de Compostela helt ut til kysten ved Kapp Finisterre.

Forfatteren Ulf Luthman har gått de 800 kilometerne til Santiago de Compostela tre ganger, og kjenner godt pilegrimsvandrerens behov.

Anita og Birger Løvlands turguider er blitt velkjente for nordmenn som går turer i fjell- og kystområdene i sydligere strøk. Deres bøker om Kanariøyene, Mallorca, Azorene og Madeira har fått mange til å oppdage de utrolig flotte turmulighetene som finnes på disse øyene.

Turguide til Gran Canaria kom i 2012, med 34 turer over hele øya. Noen hundre km turer de siste årene, først og fremst omkring områdene på sørsiden av øya der nesten alle turistene bor, har ført til at de nå har laget en Turguide til Gran Canaria Sør, med 44 nye turer.

I hovedsak dekkes kyststrekningen mellom Puerto de Mogán og Bahía Feliz i sør og Roque Nublo i nord. Innen denne kakestykkeformede delen av Gran Canaria kan  det turglade ekteparet by på en spennende og variert turmeny. Alle turene er beskrevet med nøyaktige turomtaler, bilder og kart. Noen turer tar et par timer, andre er lange dagsturer, som krever god fysisk form. De kan alle med rette kalles for kortreiste turer, da de ligger nær turistområdene i sør — og også at de er «sett med norske øyne og gått med norske bein».
