Thoroughly updated for this new third edition, Bradt's World War I Battlefields remains the only compact practical travel guide to cover both French and Belgian battlefield sites involved in one of the deadliest conflicts in human history, which changed the face of foreign policy and European geography forever. The 2014-18 centenary of the First World War was a huge catalyst for battlefield tourism, leading to a proliferation of innovative new museums, memorials, commemorative trails, statues and more - which are comprehensively covered in this update. Co-authored by two award-winning travel writers, this lightweight and pocket-friendly guidebook is perfect for visitors.

It covers all the main sites, memorials and museums of the entire Western Front alongside practical information such as travelling there and getting around, and how to book the best guided tours. In the Belgian section of the book, chapters cover Ypres and the Ypres Salient; Poperinge, Heuvelland and Messines (Mesen); Diksmuide, Veurne and Nieuwpoort; and Mons. In the French section, as well as the Somme, battlefields in Le Nord and Lille are featured, as are those in Pas-de-Calais; Aisne; and Marne, Champagne and Verdun.

Visiting well-known Somme sights - such as Thiepval, the Somme 1916 Museum, Longueval, Le Hamel and Villers-Bretonneux - is a must for many visitors. But so, too, are Arras and the information centre dedicated to the Battle of Vimy Ridge, the Battle of Fromelles Museum, the Cambrai Tank 1917 museum, the Marne 14-18 Interpretation Centre, and the Sir John Monash Centre, which tells the story of Australian soldiers' Western Front experiences in both countries. This updated and expanded edition features new information on the valuable contribution made by Black, Indian and Caribbean soldiers.

There is also refreshed, detailed advice on how to find the resting place of family members lost in battle. For history buffs, those on battlefield tours, relatives of those who fought, school groups and students, there is no finer guidebook to visiting Great War sites in both countries than Bradt's World War I Battlefields.

Hundre års ensomhet er historien om sju generasjoner Buendía, om drømmer, utfordringer og ulykker i den lille colombianske byen Macondo. I Macondo har alt et annet innhold og en annen rytme enn i resten av verden. Så vel landsbyen som familien gjennomlever nybyggertid, borgerkriger, økonomisk vekst, industrialisering, ulykker og naturkatastrofer, forfall og glemsel. Det er en fantastisk verden, overdådig og makaber, skildret med grotesk humor og svart desperasjon. Hundre års ensomhet står som et av de mest betydelige verkene innen den latinamerikanske magiske realismen, og er blitt oversatt til mer enn 30 språk.

Fattiggutten Mino er født i regnskogen. Han er sommerfuglfanger og elsker jungelens mangfold av liv. Samtidig som Mino samler sommerfugler, ser han at jungelen ødelegges av multinasjonale selskaper.

En dag rammer katastrofen også hans landsby, og Mino er plutselig i sentrum av de store regnskogenes tragedie. Etter dette forvandles Mino til en fryktet kriger med ustoppelig hevntørst. I spissen for den beryktede sommerfugl-ligaen drar han ut i verden og sprer terror og skrekk.

Gert Nygårdshaugs politiske engasjement, frodige fortellerevne og fantasi utgjør en mesterlig kombinasjon i denne stadig like aktuelle romanen. Mengele Zoo er første bok i Mino-serien, les også Afrodites basseng, Chimera og Himmelblomsttreet, Zoo Europa.

Fire år gammel flykter Lara Rashid sammen med familien sin fra irakisk Kurdistan i 1999 og etter en krevende tid på asylmottak i Nes begynner de et trygt liv på Nesodden. Men snart skal mørke skygger legge seg over det lykkelige rekkehuset de har skaffet seg.
Den 22.juli 2011 blir 18-år gamle Bano, familiens eldste datter drept på Utøya. Fanget i sorg får Lara for seg at hun må overta rollen til storesøsteren. Et valg som får store konsekvenser for hennes eget liv. Hvem er hun nå? Uten Bano? Samtidig er hun fanget i familiens bunnløse sorg. De trodde de hadde kommet til verdens fredeligste land. I stedet har det gode livet de skapte seg blitt en vond drøm både Lara og familien strever med å komme seg ut av.
Hold meg til jeg sovner er en gripende kurdisk familiehistorie, en fortelling om å finne seg selv i sorgen og en bit norgeshistorie vi aldri må glemme.

«En nødvendig bok om tap, identitet og 22. juli. Lara Rashids debut er velskrevet, rørende og svært reflektert. Lara Rashid gir hele beretningen om sitt tap 22. juli en menneskelig autoritet og en historisk dybde som jeg ikke har sett i andre beretninger fra eller refleksjoner rundt det som skjedde. Det mesterlige grepet her, det som virkelig løfter Rashids bok frem som noe helt eget, er at hun tar seg tid til å fortelle om foreldrene og hjemlandet sitt, før hun kommer til den skjebnesvangre dagen. Hold meg til jeg sovner er en nødvendig bok om vi skal komme oss videre, finne nye 'vi'.» Kjetil Røed, Vårt Land.

"A mesmerising trip across Central Asia . . . A fascinating travelogue" Financial Times SHORTLISTED FOR EDWARD STANFORD/LONELY PLANET DEBUT TRAVEL WRITER OF THE YEAR 2020 Erika Fatland takes the reader on a journey that is unknown to even the most seasoned globetrotter. The five former Soviet Republics' Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan all became independent when the Soviet Union fell apart in 1991. How have these countries developed since then? In the Kyrgyzstani villages Erika Fatland meets victims of the widely known tradition of bride snatching; she visits the huge and desolate Polygon in Kazakhstan where the Soviet Union tested explosions of nuclear bombs; she meets Chinese shrimp gatherers on the banks of the dried out Aral Sea and she witnesses the fall of a dictator. She travels incognito through Turkmenistan, a country that is closed to journalists. She meets exhausted human rights activists in Kazakhstan, survivors from the massacre in Osh in 2010, German Menonites that found paradise on the Kyrgyzstani plains 200 years ago. During her travels, she observes how ancient customs clash with gas production and she witnesses the underlying conflicts between ethnic Russians and the majority in a country that is slowly building its future in Nationalist colours. In these countries, that used to be the furthest border of the Soviet Union, life follows another pace of time. Amidst the treasures of Samarkand and the bleakness of Soviet architecture, Erika Fatland moves with her openness towards the people and the landscapes around her. A rare and unforgettable travelogue.

'Don't send him to Torremolinos; it's not his kind of tundra.' Such was the mantra of The Sunday Times when considering assignments for Brian Jackman, for whom deserts, rain forests and mountain ranges have always been more enticing habitats. After decades spent travelling and writing about the places and wildlife that have inspired him, one of the world's most experienced naturalists has turned his focus onto the story of his inspirational life. 'This is no ordinary autobiography', he says.

West with the Light sweeps through Jackman's wartime evacuation, grammar school, Soho jazz clubs of the '50s and the navy to a career in travel journalism to which his first marriage gave way before he found a new, true and more lasting love that abides to this day in his beloved rural Dorset. Beginning with memories of Edwardian London and the growth of suburbia, it provides a vivid portrayal of post-war travel and the rise of a new sort of tourism - ecotourism - set against the background of the most turbulent decades the world has ever known. Through it all shines Jackman's lifelong love of nature, instilled by childhood holidays in the West country and the stories that led to his passion for Africa and the big cats that that still walk through his life and dreams.

Rippling across continents with Jackman's natural charm and hallmark stylish prose, his recollections include lively first-hand encounters with pioneering wildlife conservationists like George and Joy Adamson, Iain and Saba Douglas-Hamilton, Richard Leakey, Gavin Maxwell and Jonathan Scott. Travellers, wildlife enthusiasts, writers and anyone with a love of adventure will adore this book.
