En underholdende, klok og lærd reiseskildring fra dagens Midtøsten. Dette er boken om Sven Kærup Bjørneboes reise i Tyrkia og Syria i et område der historien hjemsøker nåtiden og preger nåtidens problematikk. Tilsynelatende uanstrengt beveger den reisende forfatteren seg gjennom de ulike kulturer som opp gjennom århundrene og årtusenene har etterlatt sine spor langs hans rute. Han har nær kontakt med folk og islam, drøfter Al Qaida med mennesker han treffer i Damaskus, samtidig som han med en viss selvironi følger i sporene til dannelsesreisene som medlemmene av overklassen i det gamle kolonialistiske Europa foretok. Den såkalte Grand Tour.

Fra ITM: A list of Top Attractions and a regional rail map are included as insets. All the tram lines are shown. The other side is new. Melbourne is located in the State of Victoria, so we have added a detailed map of the state and extended the coverage to include Sydney, Canberra, and Adelaide. Rail lines are shown, although most people travel by car. There is a motorway to Sydney, but almost all others are two-lane tarred. The coastal highway going west is particularly scenic. Australia’s highest mountain is also on this map.

Fra ITM: Florida is one of the most travelled-to parts of the world, and with Orlando in its centre, a map is necessary as well as inevitable. The big attraction, of course, is the Walt Disney World resort area, which is yet another must-see destination. The resort is so large that it requires its own inset map and has eighteen hotels at last count, its own monorail, and too many attractions to note here. Disneyland is for everyone young and old, so enjoy it.

Fra ITM: The Indonesian island of Sumatra is not only the largest portion of this nation of islands, it is also very close to Singapore and Malaysia, so has easy connections to both countries as well as to other parts of Indonesia. Side 1 shows the northern portion of Sumatra, with an excellent inset map of Medan, its major city. Several offshore islands are included, as well as a significant Top Attractions list. Side 2 shows the bulk of the island as well as a portion of southern Malaysia, Singapore, and various islands in the vicinity. Ferry routes to Java, Malacca (part of Malaysia), the Lingga and Riau Archipelagoes and Singapore are included, as well as inset maps of Padang and Palembang, the two major cities in the south. Sumatra has a well-developed road network along its western side, but not along its eastern portion, except in the far north. Thus, the island remains a place for adventure travel waiting to be discovered.

City map Zurich and Road map Northern Switzerland.

Switzerland is a lovely country to visit, albeit rather expensive, and is conveniently located in the heart of western Europe. Zurich, as a city, is not only commercially important but is a lovely city to visit and enjoy. The Old Town is a walking paradise, with stores intermingled with squares and churches, and the hilly nature of the city brings photographic images to the forefront with each turn of a corner. ITMB publishes a separate map of Geneva on one side and all of Switzerland on the other side.

For this title, we have expanded the scale and filled the reverse side with and easy-to-use regional map of North-western Switzerland, combining the city with its hinterland. Being a rather small country, this results in a map covering most of the country, from Lausanne in the southwest and Basle on the north to Chur on the east and Montreux in the south, so the far east and south of the country are excluded.

I sin nye bok analyserer professor Ole O. Moen USA slik verdens eneste supermakt nå fremstår under president Barack Hussein Obama - både i lys av vår samtid og USAs særegne historiske tradisjoner. Presidentvalget i 2008 var på flere vis begynnelsen på et nytt kapittel i USAs moderne historie. Moen beskriver de nye trekk som nå avtegner seg i den politiske og kulturelle hverdag.

Denne boken forteller historien om dette landet i en ny og annerledes tidsalder. Det er sterke bånd som knytter Norge til USA. En naturlig konsekvens av dette er at de fleste nordmenn mener seg å kjenne USA. Onkel Sam er en gammel kjenning, men vår generelle innsikt i amerikansk kultur og politikk er relativt overflatisk. Denne boken er et bidrag til en bedre forståelse av dagens amerikanske samfunn.

Seeds of Terror will reshape the way you think about the West's enemies, revealing them less as ideologues and more as criminals who earn billions of pounds every year off the opium trade. With the breakneck pace of a thriller, author Gretchen Peters traces their illicit activities from the vast poppy fields of southern Afghanistan to heroin labs run by Taliban commanders, from drug convoys armed with Stinger missiles to the money launderers of Karachi and Dubai. Based on hundreds of interviews with Taliban fighters, smugglers, and law enforcement and intelligence agents, Peters makes the case that we must cut terrorists off from their drug earnings if we ever hope to beat them.
