Written by a female Middle East expert, Bradt's Saudi Arabia is the first English-language travel guide from a mainstream publisher that focuses exclusively on the Kingdom, which has now opened for general tourism as part of rapid political, economic and social reforms. With detailed advice on what to see and do, listings for accommodation and restaurants, guidance on cultural etiquette and advice for women and other diverse travellers, this book provides the practical information adventurous tourists need to explore this new, exciting destination.

Saudi Arabia will appeal to adventure travellers, offering activities ranging from pristine, world-class scuba diving to mountain-trekking. With dramatic scenery including a desert that stretches for hundreds of kilometres (where you can camp like a Bedouin) and several accessible nature reserves, visitors looking for undisturbed landscapes are spoilt for choice.

Culture vultures will appreciate pre-Islamic rock art, Nabatean heritage, Mada'in Saleh (the sister city to Jordan's Petra in Jordan) and six UNESCO World Heritage Sites rarely visited by international tourists. Particularly after sundown, when Saudi Arabia truly comes alive, urbanites can explore the cities of Riyadh and Jeddah, where shopping opportunities range from traditional souqs to top-end malls where the wealthy go to see and be seen. Gastronomists can enjoy varied cuisine, from fine dining worthy of a Michelin star to traditional meals served on the floor, shared by all and eaten by hand.

This guide dispels misinformation by providing an unbiased, up-to-date and comprehensive resource that accurately reflects what Saudi Arabia now offers visitors from all backgrounds. Most outsiders know little about the Kingdom other than from typically negative media coverage, so may be pleasantly surprised at its rich history and youthful population eager to extend hospitality to guests respecting their culture and traditions.

A comprehensive guide combining detailed travel information about the entire Kingdom (from Shammar to Asir, and from Hejaz to Sharqiyah) with a chapter explaining some of the main practices of and reasons for the Haj and Umrah pilgrimages, plus contextual insights covering cultural etiquette, reforms and women travellers, Bradt's Saudi Arabia is the perfect companion for people who thrive on off-the-beaten-path travel.

Er planter bedre problemløsere enn mennesker? Stefano Mancuso mener det, og i Planterevolusjonen gir han en overbevisende vitenskapelig begrunnelse.

Planter utgjør 80 prosent av alt levende på jorden, og likevel er det så lett å glemme at disse små, unnselige organismene ikke bare er ansvarlig for livsviktig oksygen, men også for mye vi tar for gitt i vårt moderne liv: medisin, mat og fossilt brennstoff.

Stefano Mancuso, en av verdens ledende forskere på plantenes nevrobiologi, viser i denne boken plantenes overraskende evne til innovasjon, til å huske og å lære, og dermed vise oss kreative løsninger på de mest presserende teknologiske og økologiske problemer vi står overfor i dag. Til tross for at planter verken har hjerne eller et sentralnervesystem, «leser» de i enda større grad enn dyr sine omgivelser. De utforsker effektivt og reagerer raskt på mulige ytre farer, og takket være deres desentraliserte kommandolinjer er de i stand til å huske tidligere farlige situasjoner og tilpasse seg nye omstendigheter.
