Bøker og kart

The Border is a book about Russia and Russian history without its author ever entering Russia itself; a book about being the neighbour of that mighty, expanding empire throughout history. It is a chronicle of the colourful, exciting, tragic and often unbelievable histories of these bordering nations, their cultures, their people, their landscapes.

Cairo is one of the most vibrant and exciting cities in the world (as is Egypt as a country, which we map separately). Side 1 focuses on the city itself, with insets of Alexandria, the pyramids of Gizi, and the region immediately surrounding Cairo. The city has also expanded its rapid transit Metro system, which is shown on the back cover. An extension to the airport should open next year. The second side of the map sheet shows the delta of the Nile River, which is a gigantic flood plain, and follows the course of the river south past Cairo all the way past Luxor. Much of the Red Sea is included, as is most of the Sinai Peninsula. The famous canal is, of course, shown in detail.

This map is designed for the visitor concentrating on the most popular aspects of a trip to ancient Egypt. The map also has two Top Attraction lists, one for the city and one for the region, to make it easy for users to locate such sites as the Temple of Horus or the must-see new Museum of Egypt.

The city of Lisbon is one of the most attractive in Europe. It is an ancient city, but most of its architecture dates from the Victorian era. It has a fascinating number of tram lines, and the trams tend to be an experience worth the trip. One graces our cover. There is no cheaper way to explore this city than to climb aboard and let the rails decide your destination!

Coverage extends from the northern and western motorways to the southerly Rio Tejo and the national museum, so shows the city quite comprehensively. Almost half of the map area is of the massive Monsanto Park, one of the largest urban parks in the world. The reverse side is equally important, in that it presents our first-ever map dedicated to showing the charms of the entire country of Portugal. A bit of western Spain is included due to the unevenness of the border, but the map goes from the northernmost tipoff Castelo to the southernmost expanse of the Costa Do Algarve, showing touristic attractions, historic sites, beaches, museums, rail connections, and major parks.

The map is printed on waterproof stone paper, a recent technological innovation that is gradually replacing plastic.

Fra ITM: We are very pleased to present our very first cruising map covering the Mediterranean Sea. This is a double-sided map covering the eastern portion on side 1 and the western part on side 2. We were presented with a dilemma in designing this map, in that the shape of the sea is such that to include the straits of Gibraltar and the Dardanelles on the same map, a compromise would be necessary.

As few cruise ships now go to the North African coast, we concentrated on showing only the portion from Morocco to Tunisia so we could show Spain, France, Italy, Greece, the Balkans, and the Eastern Mediterranean, including the Black Sea. Little did we know that war in Europe would impact so intensely on what should be a pleasurable touristic map. Regardless, almost all of the ports of call for cruise ships in 2022 are shown on this map, including those favoured by smaller liners in the Adriatic Sea. We have also included common ferry routes between Italy and Greece and Marseille to Algiers.
