In a stunning memoir-cum-travelogue Peter Carey charts this journey, inspired by Charley's passion for Japanese Manga and anime, and explores his own resulting re-evaluation of Japan. Although graphically violent and disturbing, the two mediums are both inherently concerned with Japan's rich history and heritage, and hold a huge popular appeal that crosses the generations. Led by their adolescent guide Takashi, an uncanny mix of generosity and derision, father and son look for the hidden puzzles and meanings, searching, often with comic results, for a greater understanding of these art forms, and for what they come to refer to as their own 'real Japan'.

From Manhattan to Tokyo, Commodore Perry to Godzilla, kabuki theatre to the post-war robot craze, Wrong about Japan is a fascinatingly personal, witty and moving exploration of two very different cultures.

Fra ITM: Lebanon has had a rather troubled political history over the past fifty years, but is a lovely country to visit. Tripoli, for example, is fascinating to explore The Crusader citadel (circa 1100AD) can be toured, and the Great Mosque is well worth a visit. Baalbek used to be known as Heliopolis, two thousand years ago, when it was the most important Greek, then Roman, city in the Eastern Mediterranean. It is still the most complete Roman city in the world, and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Byblos has been occupied for 7,000 years. The Cedars of God are over 1,500 years old. Tyre dates back to 3,000BC. Sidon is a former Silk Road trading post. Beirut is one of the oldest cities in the world. This is why people want to visit Lebanon. Our map shows the country on one side, with ample text blocks to entice the reader, and Beirut on the other side. Truly an amazing country!

Fra ITM: Armenia and Azerbaijan at 1:430,000 on a double-sided, indexed map from ITMB, with each country accompanied by a street plan of its capital. Diverse ethnography of the region is indicated on an inset.

On one side is Armenia with most of Nagorno-Karabakh, plus the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic of Azerbaijan and much of Georgia including Tbilisi. The reverse, with a small overlap, is the remainder of Azerbaijan. Topography of the region is shown by altitude colouring in feet, with heights of peaks given in metres (and not in feet as indicated in the map legend). Mountain passes are annotated with months when passable. Swamp areas are marked and national parks or protected areas highlighted. The map shows the region’s road and rail networks, including selected seasonal tracks, and indicates local airports. Symbols highlight various places of interest: historical sites, beaches, winter sport areas, etc. All place names are in the Latin alphabet only. Latitude and longitude lines are drawn at 1° intervals. Each country has a separate index. Street plans of central Yerevan and Baku name main streets and highlight various places of interest including selected foreign embassies. Also provided is an inset showing the distribution of various ethnographic groups.

IMPORTANT - PLEASE NOTE: international and provincial boundaries are not marked precisely enough to give a clear picture of the current political situation in the region, including enclaves and border crossings.

This edition is a considerable improvement on our previous one, benefitting from the extensive research trip we took to the emerald-shaped island shortly before the outbreak of Covid changed the world. We have re-introduced it as a map printed on waterproof paper, as such a format holds up well in a hot, humid climate. We visited all parts of the island and were quite impressed by the number of local hotels and resorts that we found and have added to the map. We were particularly gratified to discover progress on extending the motorway system for the country, much of it now probably delayed due to Covid.

The inset map of Colombo is particularly well-done. The second side of the sheet is a very detailed map of the southern third of India, from Nagpur to the southern tip of the country. Space constraints did not allow for inset maps, but several well-known cities are included – Mumbai, Hyderabad, Chennai, Pondicherry, Madurai, and Bengaluru (Bangalore) among them. India is a fascinating, if somewhat intimidating, place to visit, but is well-worth the time to do so.

The climbing season for Everest begins in May, just about the time that vaccinations against Covid should kick into high gear. Time to start planning that little jaunt you’ve always wanted to do! Seriously, this is a lovely double-sided map with two attractive covers, so can be displayed either as Everest or Himalaya. The Everest side covers the mountain itself, with base camps and accommodations clearly shown. There are actually several interesting trails one could explore and all are shown; only one leads to the summit. The reverse side shows the entire Himalaya ‘knot’ that forms the basis for so many mountain chains.

The area of coverage includes all of Nepal and Sikkim, a significant portion of Bhutan, most of Tibet, and a bit of northern India. All roads and attractions are shown. The map includes a detailed inset map for Kathmandu and another for the valley region surrounding the city. There are now half a dozen access roads into Nepal, and all are shown. East-west travel is finally available with the completion of Hwy 1401. Legend Includes: Roads by classification, Rivers and Lakes, National Park, Airports, Points of Interests, Highways, Main Roads, Zoos, Fishing, and much more...

Fra ITM: The country of Mongolia has existed for centuries, but until recent times was dominated by Russia. When we were first asked to prepare a tourism-oriented map of Mongolia by the government, we did our best using then-available sources of data. With each new edition, we have improved the amount of information and the accuracy of spelling of place names as the country has developed. For example, it is now generally accepted that the name of the country’s capital is Ulaanbaatar as one word. Roads in Mongolia tend to vary dramatically, so most of the thin red lines should be regarded as guidelines rather than as formal man-made roads. The Gobi Desert is well-shown, as are cities little-known to outsiders. A detailed inset map of Ulaanbaatar is included. Legend Includes: Highway, Other Roads, Motorway, Railway, Urban area, Border crossing, Airport, Point of interest, Monument, Museum, Mine, Ruin, Gas station, Lake, Nature Reserve, Camping Site, Sand dunes, Glacier, etc.
