The Pantanal of Brazil, Bolivia and Paraguay is South America's Serengeti: its wetlands are the largest on earth (they're half the size of France) and, in the dry season, crocodiles and storks jostle to gobble the last of the dying fish. Here, the continent's largest cat, the jaguar, lives alongside giant otters, anacondas and the world's largest parrot. A comprehensive introduction to the best place to watch wildlife in South America, and beautifully illustrated throughout, Bradt's Pantanal Wildlife is the only portable book to cover all the main wildlife groups while focussing exclusively on the Pantanal.

Bradt's fully illustrated wildlife guides focus on regions of the world particularly celebrated for their amazing and often unique species. With spectacular photography or exclusive watercolour drawings throughout, each visitors' guide provides an introduction to the region's principal flora and fauna alongside suggested wildlife itineraries, practical information on when to go and what to take and photography tips. Written in a deliberately engaging way, they offer something different from dry field guides, and will appeal to the interested layman as much as the wildlife devotee.

Gunnar Garfors er kjent for å ha reist verda rundt. På sine turar har han møtt menneske frå mange ulike kulturar og samfunn. Når Garfors er på reise, er det nysgjerrigheita som driv han. Hans vennlege og opne vesen gjer at han lett blir kjent med folk der han er.

I boka Ingenstad – på tur til verdas minst besøkte land tek han oss med til dei 20 landa i verda færrast av oss vel å reise til. Han har vevd opplevingane sine saman til ei lett og ledig bok. Vi blir med på ei personleg ferd og kjem tett på menneska forfattaren har møtt i land som Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, Nauru, Mauritania og Komorane. Nokre av dei har du knapt høyrt om, andre gir neppe andre assosiasjonar enn krig, terror og elende. I Ingenstad møter du mellom anna ein særs imøtekomande statsminister, verdas beste sjokolademakar og ein mangobonde frå Jemen – landet som ein gong hadde fleire hundre tusen turistar i året.

I ei tid prega av konflikt og krig vil forfattaren inspirere oss til å bli kjent med delar av verda som skil seg frå vår eiga, men som mange knapt vågar å reise til. Kanskje vil ei breiare forståing av andre nasjonar, trusretningar og verdsoppfatningar gjere noko med deg som lesar og korleis du ser på verda. Kanskje ville vår klode kunne bli ein betre og vakrare stad om fleire reiste utanfor eigne komfortsoner.

Ingenstad tek deg med til nokre av dei mest fasinerande stadene i verda.

A vibrant celebration of surfers in and out of the water from an award-winning photographer Professional photographer Thom Gilbert spent four years among surfer royalty at the top of their game-in Spain, New York, California, and Hawaii-with his camera trained not only on tiny figures disappearing in the waves, but also on the surfers' faces and bodies back on land. He returned from the beaches with intimate portraits of the world's best-from the newest talent to the oldest and most revered-and also with dramatic action shots and revealing images of the culture around this sport and lifestyle. The book features not only 300 photographs, but some Q&As with, and hand-written contributions from, prominent figures in the scene.

Ultimately, Waves is an ode to surfing and to the men and women who live it every day.

Packed with expert information and inspiring photography, The Camping Life is the perfect invitation to leave the noise and screens behind--if only for a single night--and reconnect with nature. From backpacking to bikepacking, camping while white-water rafting to big wall climbing, outdoor adventurers Brendan Leonard and Forest Woodward cover it all: how to pack a backpack, how to set up a tent in the snow, how to camp with your dog, how to build a campfire, how to judge a river's difficulty. And, critically, how to leave no trace, while returning refreshed, recharged, and alive with new experience.

Experience 60 of the world's greatest adventures on water - from sailing the Nile by felucca and cruising the Canadian Arctic, to exploring Pitcairn Island by cargo ship. With detailed accounts of each route, beautiful photos and practical tips on how to plan your own voyage, Amazing Boat Journeys will help you discover a more rewarding way of travelling. From the seafaring Polynesians to the Chinese Age of Discovery, travel by water shaped the world.

That same spirit of exploration compels Lonely Planet writers today to travel by cargo freighter and fishing vessel to the world's most remote islands; to hop onto mailboats in the Bahamas; or to experience life on a historic sail-powered windjammer. These journeys are eclectic and wide-ranging, from the wonder of a glass-bottomed boat ride through Florida springs to the ease of a thatch-roofed kettuvallam exploring Kerala's famed backwaters. Old-fashioned paddle-steamers ply the length of the Mississippi in the style of the 1800s, and cruise ships on the Yangtze feature enthusiastic karaoke in Mandarin.

Off-the-beaten-path cruises include Antarctica and Papua New Guinea. On the opposite end of the spectrum from a weeks-long journey over open seas is the charm of seeing a city from the water, whether crossing Victoria Harbour via Hong Kong's classic Star Ferry, viewing the banks of London from the Thames, or traversing Bangkok on the Chao Phraya River. Each trip includes authoritative commentary, awe-inspiring photography, and details of life on board the vessel, similar routes, and how to make the trip happen.

South America is a land of superlatives. Home to the world’s longest mountain range, tallest waterfall, largest rainforest, driest desert, widest river and highest lake, it astounds with its variety. Now published by Bradt Guides, the award-winning, legendary South American Handbook holds a world record of its own as the longest-running English-language travel guidebook. This brand new, fully updated 95th edition celebrates the centenary of the Handbook, which remains as essential for travellers to South America today as it was in the 1920s.

Embark on extraordinary journeys through the breathtaking landscapes and vibrant cultures of this amazing continent, where every corner tells of ancient civilisations or natural wonders. Wherever you travel, South America will uplift your senses – from the tropical sun rising over a palm-fringed beach to a bracing wind blowing off Andean salt pans, from tango in downtown Buenos Aires to the culinary symphony of modern Peruvian cuisine, and from Easter Island’s mysterious Moai statues to mainland Chile’s majestic glaciers.

Wander through the cobbled streets of historic Cusco, echoes of the Inca Empire resonating in every stone. Feel the rhythm of life in the sultry beats of Rio de Janeiro’s carnival, where samba and colour take centre stage. Or explore the wonders of the Galápagos Islands, where nature unfolds in its purest form, revealing a paradise teeming with unique flora and fauna. Whatever South America inspires you to do, you will find that there is no limit to the passion that it fires within you.

In this era of countless websites which bring images and information from every barrio and pueblito, the South American Handbook advises on how to navigate between each place, big or small, in every country. It is your key to a treasure trove of diverse landscapes, rich tapestry of cultures and hospitable peoples – and a celebration of the spirit of adventure and independence that characterises travel in the world’s greatest continent. Drawing on the expertise of correspondents in the region and travellers’ experiences, this centenary edition of the Handbook provides the thread from Acandi to Ushuaia and everywhere you may wish to stop off in between.

The new, sixth and thoroughly updated edition of Bradt's Latvia remains the only standalone guide to this fascinating and ever-changing Baltic nation. This is a small but enchantingly varied country that will appeal to culture vultures, history buffs, outdoors enthusiasts and foodies alike. Latvia is best known internationally through its capital city Riga, whose centre is a UNESCO World Heritage site combining a medieval core providing testimony of its importance as a port of the Hanseatic League and an outer area containing the most extensive assemblage of Art Nouveau buildings in Europe.

Latvia is much larger than Denmark or Switzerland yet, with a population of under two million, is one of the most verdant countries in Europe. A low-lying landscape of forests, lakes and marshes offers an increasing range of rural tourism options facilitated by recent EU infrastructural investments. Why not go hiking or kayaking in Gauja National Park, go cycling or explore Latgale's lakes? In summer, Latvia's Baltic Sea coast comes into its own: almost 500km long, much comprising pristine sandy beaches backed by dunes.
