Don't just see the sights-get to know the people. The people who inhabit the diverse landscapes of this beautiful land are proud, friendly, hospitable, and hardworking, but to understand the culture in any depth, you need to know the complex historical divisions between the highlands and the coast, and the rigid class and racial discrimination that has dominated the country's history. This updated edition of the award-winning Culture Smart! Ecuador takes you beyond the usual descriptions of what to see and digs into the heart of this multi-layered nation to give you an insider's view of the people and their traditions, history, food, and culture, and the practical tools to make the most of your time there.

Have a richer and more meaningful experience abroad through a better understanding of the local culture. Chapters on history, values, attitudes, and traditions will help you to better understand your hosts, while tips on etiquette and communicating will help you to navigate unfamiliar situations and avoid faux pas.

This new, thoroughly updated third edition of Bradt's Falkland Islands remains the only detailed and wide-ranging standalone travel guidebook to this British Overseas Territory and is ideal for independent, cruise-ship and tour-group visitors alike. It includes all recent information needed for a smooth trip, including on restaurants and hotels in Stanley, conservation issues, wildlife-watching trips, history and how to explore beyond the capital. The main islands - East and West Falkland - are covered, as are the smaller Bleaker, Kidney, Sea Lion, Pebble, New, West Point, Carcass, Saunders, Keppel, Weddell, Staats and Beaver islands.

Situated in the South Atlantic Ocean, over 500 km from South America, the Falkland Islands are one of the world's truly wild places, full of unspoilt scenery and wide vistas. A photographer's delight and a must-visit location for those interested in the wild outdoors, the islands are home to major populations of albatrosses, penguins, dolphins, seals and other wildlife plus 3,600 people. It's not all about penguins, though, as the islands' spectacular scenery, comfortable accommodation, good wholesome British food and welcoming people create a wonderful place to visit.

The thriving city of Stanley gives way to the wild open spaces of camp (rural areas) with its scattered settlements, long sandy beaches, isolated islands and rocky outcrops. History enthusiasts will be in their element, visiting sites ranging from the islands' first British settlement to areas that were significant during the 1982 war. With Bradt's Falkland Islands you can plan how to fly between islands, drive across the camp in a 4x4 vehicle, visit multiple penguin colonies (where these charismatic birds behave as if you are not there), sample smoko (a wide range of cakes and biscuits, served during a morning or afternoon tea break), watch black-browed albatrosses at their nest, be investigated by 'Johnny Rooks' (curious birds of prey), spot dolphins in the shallows, visit the magnificent collection of artefacts from around the islands at Stanley's Historic Dockyard Museum and learn from local residents about life in this wildest of places.

Whatever your interest, this is the essential guide for a successful trip.

A new, updated version of the celebrated 1968 title, Galapagos: Islands of Birds, by the renowned late ornithologist Bryan Nelson, with additional, previously unpublished reminiscences and lively and irreverent memories from his wife June. This timely reissue breathes new life into a classic work of natural history that will appeal to bird-lovers and Galapagos-lovers alike. It is as memorable for its groundbreaking descriptions of Galapagos wildlife as for June's naked appearance in the News of the World accompanied by a quote from the Duke of Edinburgh.

In 1964 the late Bryan Nelson, a zoologist, and his wife June spent a year living on two uninhabited, waterless Galapagos islands studying the three species of booby ('we couldn't resist also studying the great frigatebird and waved albatross, too' says June). Bryan's book, Galapagos: Islands of Birds was published in 1968 and, although by necessity a scientific study, his light touch and the extraordinary hardships and delights of living in total isolation with no means of rescue should things go wrong, make it an exceptionally good read. Now, nearly 60 years later, June Nelson has extracted the story of that extraordinary year and complemented it with her own recollections.

The couple's research and findings remain relevant and interesting, so plenty of wildlife descriptions are retained, but it is the mischievous mocking birds and friendly sea lions which will captivate the reader as much as the famous blue-footed boobies and waved albatrosses. At the end of their stay on Hood, when their clothes were literally in tatters and they went barefoot, they had news of the imminent visit of The Duke of Edinburgh and the Royal Yacht Britannia. June's description of this visit and their lunch on board with Prince Philip, make a surreal ending to a year of deteriorating food: 'Now our flour had around 50 maggots or beetles per pound...

This new, thoroughly updated and lavishly illustrated edition of Bradt's Galapagos Wildlife is packed with information and magnificent pictures to aid in identifying key species, all in an easy-to-carry format that covers everything from the wildlife that you're likely to encounter to underwater life and a succinct history of the islands, their habitats and volcanic origins. The most detailed descriptions and maps in print of the main visitor sites are included, so you can see where a boat will land and what can be seen there. An overview of conservation efforts is also included and so too are unique island trail plans for those looking to explore.

Written and illustrated by two expert-naturalist guides, this new edition covers all the latest information, from the discovery of an 'extinct' tortoise species not seen for over 100 years on Fernandina island and the discovery of new rare 'pink iguanas' on Isabela island's Wolf volcano, to the change in taxonomy of Darwin's finches and the new species status of the almost-extinct Vermillion flycatcher. Snorkelling with sea lions, penguins and sharks at Devil's Crown, Floreana is included, as is kayaking in pristine locations such as Espanola's Gardiner Bay. Travelling to the Galapagos is a rite of passage for serious wildlife enthusiasts.

This new third edition of Bradt's Guyana remains the only guidebook available to this South American gem, a jungle-clad country teeming with exotic wildlife. Thoroughly researched, easy to use and interesting to read, Bradt's Guyana is written and updated by writers who have lived in and promoted Guyana for many years and is an ideal companion for all travellers, from wildlife watchers to fishermen, anthropologists to conservationists and 'voluntourists'. Guyana is a destination on the rise, described - justifiably - by the tourist board as 'South America Undiscovered'.

This new edition of Bradt's Guyana has been updated to include all the latest developments, ranging from how to see harpy eagles at Warapoka to new culinary experiences, local tour operators, 4x4 self-drive and new hotels. Truly off the beaten track, Guyana is one of the most fascinating and least-known countries in the Americas. It is also the only English-speaking country in South America.

The jewel in its crown is the mouth-droppingly beautiful Kaieteur Falls, which is nearly five times the height of Niagara and the world's tallest single-drop waterfall. Culturally Caribbean, its capital Georgetown is a curious melting-pot of quaint Dutch and British colonial architecture, steel drums, boisterous nightlife, rum shops with world-class rum, cricket and tropical sea breezes. It is also the gateway to the lush interior which is full to the brim with fascinating flora and fauna including monkeys, black caiman, harpy eagles, giant anteaters, otters and the mighty jaguar.

With Bradt's Guyana, discover all of this, plus where to stay in community lodges and see the rainforest through the eyes of Amerindian guides, where to watch turtles nesting on the beach, how to explore the moody Essequibo river (the largest between the Orinoco and the Amazon), and how to visit the million-acre rainforest reserve of Iwokrama for the ultimate authentic wildlife experience. This third edition of Bradt's Guyana is the key book to plan an expedition into its densely forested lush interior, often accessible only by boat or small aircraft, before taking some 'time to lime' in a hammock in one of its tropical waterfront resorts.

Hundre års ensomhet er historien om sju generasjoner Buendía, om drømmer, utfordringer og ulykker i den lille colombianske byen Macondo. I Macondo har alt et annet innhold og en annen rytme enn i resten av verden. Så vel landsbyen som familien gjennomlever nybyggertid, borgerkriger, økonomisk vekst, industrialisering, ulykker og naturkatastrofer, forfall og glemsel. Det er en fantastisk verden, overdådig og makaber, skildret med grotesk humor og svart desperasjon. Hundre års ensomhet står som et av de mest betydelige verkene innen den latinamerikanske magiske realismen, og er blitt oversatt til mer enn 30 språk.

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: Expanding the area of coverage benefits visitors combining Paraguay and Bolivia into one trip. The first side covers Bolivia from La Paz south to the Paraguayan border, with inset maps of Potosi and Santa Cruz. The second side concentrates on Paraguay itself, with inset maps of Asuncion, the Asuncion region, and northern Paraguay. Small bits of bordering countries also are included. Road connections within Paraguay have been shown to good advantage. Both countries, being land-locked, are somewhat isolated, making travel to them something more adventuresome than visits to neighbouring countries. However, both are hospitable, safe, and tourist-friendly.
