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.

With 25 long-distance train journeys across the United States and a further 12 in Canada, plus sightseeing highlights for 38 major cities, accommodation options from cheap to chic and everything you need to find your way around unfamiliar train stations, this book has all the practical information required to make the most of a rail pass. There are maps, route plans and photographs, up-to-date security and immigration information, plus vital tips for sightseeing, local transport and accommodation, as well as chapters on VIA Rail, the Rocky Mountaineer and other trains in Canada.

The book also includes a history of North American railroads, current steam train operators, tourist railways and museums, as well as sound advice for the visitor from overseas. Hundreds of Internet contacts make it easy to plan and make reservations for any trip you desire. The grandeur of America's scenery - from its never-ending prairies, the Joshua trees of the Mojave Desert and the saw-toothed peaks of the Rocky Mountains to the pounding surf of the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans - is one of the continent's greatest attractions and there is no better way to enjoy it than by train.

Written by an expert author who has travelled around 80,000 miles by train in North America in the last 25 years, Bradt's USA by Rail is the essential companion for a successful trip.

This is a new venture for ITMB, although we have published several recreational hiking maps over the years. The Appalachian mountain range was the original western boundary of the American colonies while under British rule. Everything west of there was technically the French possession of Louisiana Territory, called by American settlers ‘Indian country’. Nowadays, it is a massive recreational hinterland for east coast residents wanting to escape overcrowded cities. The National Parks Service maintains the trail and a series of overnight huts.

Most people only hike a portion of the trail, but for the dedicated hiker, the trail is a great adventure. We have divided the length of the trail into four natural regions: Maine into New York State, Connecticut south to Maryland, Maryland to Virginia, and Virginia to Georgia, to its traditional end at Springer Mountain. This is a demanding trail hike, but one of the most popular in the world.

The American State of California has almost as many residents as all of Canada. I wonder how many of them are ex-pat Canucks? Regardless, this double-sided map shows the attractions of the state in amazing detail. Side 1 concentrates on the northern half, with a large inset map of San Francisco. A fairly large portion of Nevada shows as well, but with less detail.

Side 2 continues south to the Mexican border and east to Arizona, with a detailed inset map of central Los Angeles included. By the shape of California, all of southern Nevada is included as well, including the all-important wasteland of Las Vegas. All motorways are clearly shown, including those in greater Los Angeles. All state highways are also shown, as well as most secondary connecting roads. Parks, points of interest, beaches, redwood forests, and distances between major communities are also shown. The state is blessed with interesting offshore islands, such as Catalina, San Clemente, and the Channel Islands, all of which are included.

The island of Maui may not be at well-known as Oahu, which is extremely popular with Japanese honeymooners, but it is as attractive touristically. Our coverage covers most of Side 1 and includes a detailed inset map of Wailuku, the principal urban area, as well as insets of Lahaina on the west coast and Wailea resort area. This side also includes a map of the island of Lanai, with its main urban area of Lanai City as an inset.

Side 2 concentrates on the islands of Molokai, Kauai, and the lightly populated island of Ni’ihau, and includes detailed inset maps of Lihue, Kaunakakai, and Po’ipu, all of which are major resort destinations. The islands are loaded with beaches and places to stay, but also with attractions, which are shown on the map. This is a beautiful map, one of the best we have ever produced, and is a fitting companion to our maps of Big Island, and Oahu/Honolulu, as well as our state map. The Maui/Kauai map also has a double-sided cover, so can be displayed as two separate maps.

ITM har kart over hele verden og de spesialiserer seg på land litt utenfor allfarvei. Beliggenheten til landets nasjonalparker, historiske monumenter, de viktigste veiene og lignende finner du inkludert i kartene. Samtlige landkart har ofte et bykart over hovedstaden.

Fra ITM: The USA is one of the most challenging countries to map due to its strong identification with state boundaries. Last month, we introduced two new maps of Idaho and Montana; this month, we wish to introduce Nevada. As a state, Nevada is mostly desert-like and is lightly populated. Its two major urban areas, Las Vegas and Reno, are extremely popular travel destinations. In addition, Nevada offers the Hoover Dam, one of the seven wonders of the modern world, a national park with 5,000-year-old pine trees, America’s second deepest lake (Tahoe), the eighth highest mountain peak in the USA, and the biggest air force bombing range in the world (Nellis). The map is double-sided, and covers northern California on the other side. This includes such treasures as Death Valley, part of the Mojave Desert, Yosemite National Park, the beautiful sequoia trees in the far northeast corner, and man-made wonders such as the Golden Gate Bridge and Highway 1 along the Big Sur coastline. Nevada is a valuable addition to ITMB’s growing line of State maps; after all, it’s about the size of France!

Fra ITM: The original British colonies that prospered were the ones closest to England. Makes sense! Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New York were relatively closer to London than Virginia and the Carolinas, so they got the benefits of the Industrial Revolution first. This part of the USA is riddled with historic sites, as well as large urban areas, such as Boston and NYC. Its charm as a regional map is that it combines like-minded areas together on one sheet at a scale that is manageable and easy to read. There are countless parks to explore, such as Campobello, which is actually in Canada, but most easily accessed from Maine. The Cape Cod peninsula is one of the most visited sites in the USA, with colonial-era Provincetown at its tip. There are many motorways and highways that allow easy travel, as well as rapid train services along the coast to NYC and Washington. Side 2 concentrates on the rest of New York State and shows a fair portion of Pennsylvania. Although the Canadian border areas are shown, along with crossings, relatively little of the countryside north of the USA is shown in order to concentrate one’s efforts on exploring the historic heart of America.

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.

Our west coast map, covering from Vancouver down to Tijuana has proven to be one of the most popular maps published by ITMB. This edition closely resembles previous ones, in that it focuses on the road network from north to south, covering all of Washington State, Oregon, and California on one double-sided sheet, showing all passenger-service railway lines as well. By the shape of the area covered, the western portion of Nevada is also shown as well. Space limitations did not enable us to include insets, so travellers should be advised to obtain ITMB city maps of Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and San Diego to supplement this map with more detailed coverage. This map also includes Yosemite National Park, for which ITMB also provides a separate detailed map. Hundreds of wilderness campgrounds are also included.

Fra ITM: Historic Philadelphia is one of the most significant travel destinations in the USA. Founded as a Quaker town for dissidents from England, it evolved into being the unofficial capital of the 17 American colonies by 1770. In the preamble to the American independence movement, it was a crucial ingredient in negotiations designed to address grievances. The British organized a meeting that has since become known as the Congressional Congress of 1775, in what is now known as Independence Hall. All seventeen American colonies sent representative delegations to debate the future. Phillie today is a modern city with a specially-designated historic centre, and all the important sites are noted on this map.

The other side of the sheet is a brand new map, continuing ITMB’s drive to create state maps wherever practical. This one is of Pennsylvania, a lovely and scenic part of America, stretching from the Atlantic seaboard to Lake Erie and the border with Ohio. New York City/Long Island and much of southern New York State is included, as are portions of Maryland, and Virginia. Delaware, due to its size, is completely included. All motorways and highways are noted, as well as recreational and historic locations; most notably, the tragic crash site of Flight 93 east of Pittsburgh.

The State of Pennsylvania has a long and valued history and we are pleased to add it to our range of American titles. Legend Includes: Roads by classification, Rivers and Lakes, National Park, Airports, Points of Interests, Highways, Main Roads, Zoos, Fishing, and much more.

Fra ITM: In the southwest corner of the American mainland is the port city of San Diego, one of the major hubs of the US Navy. The city itself is very interesting, with a city centre dominated by colonial-styled buildings. Balboa Park is home to one of the best zoos in North America, and the historic 'old town' area north of the city centre has become a popular 'Old Mexico' theme attraction. As well, there is the Tijuana Trolley, which is, in fact, a modern surface-rail tram line that goes from the city centre to close to the walk-across border with Mexico into colourful downtown Tijuana. A day visit to Mexico is one of the highlights of a visit to San Diego! Enjoy!

The actual area of the map includes Portland and northern Oregon and Vancouver and the border area with the USA. A small portion of Idaho is also shown. Wilderness campsites, parks such as Rainier, Olympic, and Baker, are shown. Seattle as a city, stretches far beyond the confines of a practical map in that it stretches from Everett to Tacoma. Our map covers from the University in the north to the Beacon hill neighbourhood in the south and from the waterfront to Lake Washington.

An inset map of the greater region is included. The rapid transit line is also included on the map and on the back cover. The reverse side of the sheet shows all the roads of Washington State in excellent Olympic, and Baker, state parks, touristic sites, beaches, ferry routes, native reserves, motorways, and even the ill-fated Hanford nuclear site are included. The map is printed on ITM waterproof paper for durability.
