Unbelievably cute and easy-to follow Kawaii drawing, broken down into step-by-step exercises which anyone can master. 'Kawaii' means cute in Japanese, and often refers to a delightful range of drawing styles that western audiences have come to love. Annelore Parot, an experienced illustrator and art teacher, has her own distinctive kawaii style based on cute objects, inviting places and expressive people.

Her fans have long demanded a guide to drawing Japan and Japanese things, so she put together the work-throughs in this book. She travelled around Japan to choose the best subjects, and invites the reader to join her in experimenting with buildings, movements, and above all aspects of Japanese culture. Myths, animals and food are all included.

This new, comprehensively updated sixth edition of Bradt's Lithuania remains the only full-length standalone guide to the largest and southernmost of the three Baltic states. Insider insights and intimate depictions - from authors steeped in the country's tourism industry since 2000 - characterise this new guidebook to an exciting, relatively under-the-radar destination. The old town of Vilnius (the capital, where grand Gothic and Baroque façades line cobbled streets), the second city Kaunas and the UNESCO-listed Lithuanian coast (the Curonian Spit, with its traditional fishing villages amid fragile sand-dune ecosystems) are the eye candy that attract international visitors.

Behind these main sights is a patchwork of unspoilt rolling landscapes, wholesome village life, crafts, traditions and scars from a brutal Soviet occupation. Upon these elements are layered the youthful energy, new technologies and quirky artistic expression that create the vibrant spirit leading Lithuania into a new era. Lithuania is a year-round destination with four distinct seasons: feel spring's vitality when wandering amid wildflower-rich meadows; soak up summer vibes at the seaside; forage through autumnal forests; or crunch through crisp snow in old town streets.

This new ninth edition of Bradt’s Malawi remains the only standalone practical guidebook to this magical southeast African destination produced by a mainstream publisher. Long known as the ‘warm heart of Africa’, thanks to its traditional welcome, Malawi is a small country with a big lake – accounting for around a third of its territory – and, oddly, is the first nation outside Denmark to have a Carlsberg brewery.

The guide takes you from the northern Nyika Plateau with its zebra herds to the long lake shore and the easy charm of baobab-studded Likoma Island. Heading south, you come to the capital Lilongwe and nearby Cape Maclear, a low-key resort town with excellent diving and snorkelling. From here you can travel to Liwonde National Park, famed for its abundant elephant and hippo, and the historic town of Zomba, whose high plateau is criss-crossed by hiking trails. Heading south again brings you to Mount Mulanje, the country’s highest peak at 3,002 m.

Malawi offers many outstanding adventure opportunities: kayaking on the vast lake amongst dug-out canoes; walking up the Rift Valley escarpment to Livingstonia; and watching the ‘big five’ in wonderful natural surroundings. With the reintroduction of sought-after mammals, including elephants to Nkhotakota Wildlife Reserve and African wild dogs to Liwonde, plus excellent birdwatching, Malawi is a wildlife destination to savour. Also up for discovery are a resurgent music scene (including the Tumaini Festival), intriguing monuments, ancient rock art at Chongoni and compelling village culture.
