Product Description The Norfolk Coast is an incredibly varied part of the English Coastline. Along its length the various landscapes include dunes, cliffs, salt marshes, shingle, mudflats and golden sandy beaches. Throw in a smattering of seaside resorts and sleepy harbour villages, nature reserves and a coastal path, and you have an area suitable for many types of visitor from wildlife spotters to those who would rather let the day pass them by as they recline in a deckchair. Its ever-changing nature, caused by the actions of the sea or the weather, makes every visit unique. It is a place where you can ‘feel the weather’, a meeting point between the elements of the earth, water and air. Great Yarmouth-based landscape photographer Jon Gibbs presents a selection of his dramatic and evocative images of this remarkable stretch of coastline. About the Author Jon Gibbs was Take-a-View Landscape Photographer of the Year 2007 and Landscape Winner at the 2007 Skye Photography Festival. He i...

Product Description We all need something to believe in, whether it’s god, astrology -- or naked table tennis. Meet Ben Dirs and Tom Fordyce, widely acclaimed comic bloggers and ball-by-ball commentators on BBC online. Fresh from the triumph of becoming World Champions* last year, Ben and Tom were surprised at the spiritual hollowness they felt, even in the wake of minor sporting greatness. What they needed was a sense of meaning in a meaningless world of work, commuter trains and evenings down the pub. What followed was a year of living according to as many different belief systems as possible, in search of happiness. They tried being Trappist monks, and witches; lived solely on the Internet, as avatars, and entirely in the real world, as naked as the day they were born. And along the way, they encountered a whole host of odd, hilarious, charming people, all fellow travellers on a quest from beer to eternity . . . *see their first book, We Could Be Heroes, longlisted for the Wi...

Product Description A handbook to one of the most popular adventure destinations, this guide includes: accounts of the wild landscapes; lowdowns on where to eat, drink and sleep; practical guidance on the major walks; and in-depth coverage of the Maori culture and New Zealand's wildlife. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. Excerpted from The Rough Guide to New Zealand by Laura Harper, Tony Mudd, Paul Whitfield. Copyright © 2000. Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved WHERE TO GO Tourism is big business in New Zealand but even the key destinations – Queenstown and Rotorua, for example – only seem busy and commercialized in comparison with the low-key Kiwi norm. New Zealand packs a lot into the limited space available and is small enough that you can visit the main sights in a couple of weeks, but for a reasonable look around at a less than frenetic pace, reckon on at least a month. However long you’ve got, look at spreading your time ...

Product Description 'The scum of Greenwich Village, New York, has been skimmed off and deposited in large ladled on that section of Paris adjacent to the Cafe Rotonde. New scum, of course, has risen to take the place of the old, but the oldest scum, the thickest scum and the scummiest scum has come across the ocean, somehow, and with its afternoon and evening levees has made the Rotonde the leading Latin Quarter showplace for tourists in search of atmosphere.' About the Author Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961) was a novelist, short-story writer and journalist. His best-known works include 'A Farewell to Arms' (1929), 'For Whom the Bell Tolls' (1940) and 'The Old Man and the Sea' (1952), which won the Pulitzer Prize.
