Inspirational travel book covering 150 of Europe's most incredible journeys, including routes on foot and by bike, road, rail and water. When it comes to beautiful landscapes, Europe has more than its fair share of icons. The snowy peaks of the Alps, the vivid tulip fields of the Netherlands and the glittering lakes of northern Italy - you'll find them nowhere else but here.

Yet pause to look around a little longer, and you'll soon discover that these postcard favourites sit side by side with many more understated scenes that are just as stunning. In fact, the slower you go, the more treasures you'll uncover - so why would you want to rush the experience? Featuring over 150 inspirational entries, Unforgettable Journeys Europe is a vibrant celebration of taking the scenic route. We've picked the best adventures across the continent, from cruising around the Western Fjords of Norway to hiking the Lycian Way in Turkey.

Of course, the big-hitters are covered - riding Switzerland's Glacier Express, ferry-hopping in Greece and cycling from Land's End to John O'Groats - but we also take you off-the-beaten path, roaming the Albanian Riviera, kayaking through Finnish lakeland and navigating the steady switchbacks of the Transfagarasan Road in Romania. Make your next trip magical as you explore: - Over 150 incredible journeys. Illustrated with inspiring photography and maps that plot the routes and bring their highlights to life- Chapter maps provide a handy overview of the locations covered.

Evocative text transports the reader there, with vivid descriptions and fascinating stories. Includes practical information, such as duration, difficulty, and start and end points. Sustainable and slow travel options have been covered where possible.

Shortlisted in the Edward Stanford Travel Writing Awards 2022: Photography Travel Book of the Year Nori Jemil's ground-breaking practical photography book considers not just how to get better images, but also why and when to take them. It guides you to becoming a more confident and reflective travel photographer, as well as covering all the technical knowhow needed. Taking a journey around the seven continents, each chapter focuses on the main areas of travel imagery, from people and landscape to architecture and adventure.

Bite-size advice on how to get the best from your camera is contextualised throughout the book, so you learn as you go. Travel photography has exploded across the world thanks to the huge leap in quality of both mobile phone cameras and bridge cameras, as well as the ease of public posting on social media. Award-winning travel photographer Nori Jemil has been riding the wave of these advances and has created a 'how to' guide with a difference.

Her book is not an attempt to replicate other reference works on the subject, top-loading technical information and addressing an expert reader. Nor does it focus on gadgetry - the proliferation of new hardware means camera-based information can become obsolete quite quickly. Instead it is a travel companion, a book that can be read for the prose and stories, as well as the information it contains.

It covers the main elements of travel photography in eleven sections, including advice from some of the best travel photographers working around the world. Technical information is embedded, given in the context of each shot, but personal travel stories are at the heart of every chapter, linked to key travel images as well as the full camera settings and detail of how and why each photo was taken. Nori Jemil is an award-winning photographer, writer, teacher and videographer.

Her work has appeared in publications including National Geographic Traveller, BBC Travel, Adventure.com and Conde Nast Traveller. Over the past decade has won numerous awards, including Travel Photograph of the Year from Wanderlust travel magazine, and Photographer of the Year from the British Guild of Travel Writers.

A vibrant celebration of surfers in and out of the water from an award-winning photographer Professional photographer Thom Gilbert spent four years among surfer royalty at the top of their game-in Spain, New York, California, and Hawaii-with his camera trained not only on tiny figures disappearing in the waves, but also on the surfers' faces and bodies back on land. He returned from the beaches with intimate portraits of the world's best-from the newest talent to the oldest and most revered-and also with dramatic action shots and revealing images of the culture around this sport and lifestyle. The book features not only 300 photographs, but some Q&As with, and hand-written contributions from, prominent figures in the scene.

Ultimately, Waves is an ode to surfing and to the men and women who live it every day.

This book is your essential guide to getting to know the most interesting, rewarding and hip areas to stay in 50 cities around the world. Dive deep into an exciting new destination and discover the best little-known sights and things to do, plus the coolest places to eat, drink and shop to create unforgettable trips. For each of the 50 cities profiled in Secret City, we've swung the spotlight onto neighbourhoods where you can feel the rhythms of local life.

Sometimes you'll find the city's most well-trodden streets are only a short distance away, but there's a well-concealed treasure: perhaps a blink-and-you'll-miss-it cafe in Rio de Janeiro's Copacabana, a historic jazz bar in Stockholm's Gamla Stan, or an unmissable brunch spot in Brunswick, Melbourne. Elsewhere, you'll discover neighbourhoods you might not know much about but should really consider staying in: Tokyo's grungy Koenji, barnacle-clung Wapping and Rotherhithe in London, and Staten Island's North Shore in New York City. For each neighbourhood, there are out-of-the-ordinary recommendations for eating, drinking, partying and where to delve into local culture.

All of them are hand-picked by experts who know these cities inside out, and they're accompanied by maps to orient you in these exciting districts. About Lonely Planet: Lonely Planet is a leading travel media company and the world's number one travel guidebook brand, providing both inspiring and trustworthy information for every kind of traveller since 1973.

Experience 60 of the world's greatest adventures on water - from sailing the Nile by felucca and cruising the Canadian Arctic, to exploring Pitcairn Island by cargo ship. With detailed accounts of each route, beautiful photos and practical tips on how to plan your own voyage, Amazing Boat Journeys will help you discover a more rewarding way of travelling. From the seafaring Polynesians to the Chinese Age of Discovery, travel by water shaped the world.

That same spirit of exploration compels Lonely Planet writers today to travel by cargo freighter and fishing vessel to the world's most remote islands; to hop onto mailboats in the Bahamas; or to experience life on a historic sail-powered windjammer. These journeys are eclectic and wide-ranging, from the wonder of a glass-bottomed boat ride through Florida springs to the ease of a thatch-roofed kettuvallam exploring Kerala's famed backwaters. Old-fashioned paddle-steamers ply the length of the Mississippi in the style of the 1800s, and cruise ships on the Yangtze feature enthusiastic karaoke in Mandarin.

Off-the-beaten-path cruises include Antarctica and Papua New Guinea. On the opposite end of the spectrum from a weeks-long journey over open seas is the charm of seeing a city from the water, whether crossing Victoria Harbour via Hong Kong's classic Star Ferry, viewing the banks of London from the Thames, or traversing Bangkok on the Chao Phraya River. Each trip includes authoritative commentary, awe-inspiring photography, and details of life on board the vessel, similar routes, and how to make the trip happen.

Helt siden isen langs norskekysten forsvant for om lag 10-12000 år siden, og de første menneskene la på vei nordover med sine spinkle farkoster, har det vært mennesker på Steigen. Det finnes få steder i Norge som har så mange synlige spor etter steinalderbosetting, bronse-alderrøyser, gravkamre, store bautasteiner og minner etter mektige jernalderhøvdinger i form av ringtun, gravhauger, nausttufter og oldssaker.

Kulturminnene i Steigen, som i hovesak er konsentrert om et begrenset område på Engeløya, har en usedvanlige opplevelseverdi langt over det vanlige. Med det blotte øyet kan du suge til deg inntrykk fra en fjern fortid, i et landskap som i hovedtrekk har vært det samme i tusener av år.
