I 2009 dro Richard Bærug på en tredagers fjelltur til Georgia i Kaukasus og endte opp som deleier i et lite hotellprosjekt ved foten av et over 4700 meter høyt fjell.
Hvordan er det å starte og drive et hotell der eldgamle tradisjoner fortsatt griper sterkt inn i hverdagen, der lokalbefolkningen ses på som vikinger, der vannet fryser og strømmen stadig forsvinner?

Bli med på en reise bak fasaden på Grand Hotel Ushba!

Explore the places that time forgot. These abandoned, mysterious, sleeping monuments around the world have been relegated to the margins of history. From ancient ruins and crumbling castles to more recent relics – an art deco New York subway station, a Soviet ghost town in the Arctic Circle, a flooded Thai mall teeming with aquatic life – Travis Elborough takes you on a journey into these strange, overlooked and disappearing worlds and immortalises them in this book of original maps, accompanied by moving historic and geographic accounts of each site.

The featured locations are a stark reminder of what was, and the accounts in this investigative book help to bring their stories back to life, telling us what happened, when and why, and to whom. The book features 40 sites, including: Santa Claus, Arizona, USA: A festive tourist resort-turned-ghost town deep in the desert where you could once meet Santa Claus any day of the year; Crystal Palace Subway, London, UK: One of the city’s best-kept secrets is an underground, cathedral-like relic that many Victorian commuters bustled through; Montserrat, West Indies: The small Caribbean island with a population of 5,000 that was evacuated when its volcano erupted in 1995. The volcano is still active and nearly half the island remains a designated exclusion zone; Balaklava Submarine Base, Crimea: The former top-secret Soviet submarine base that was kept off all official maps and known as Object 825 GTS; Volterra Psychiatric Hospital, Tuscany, Italy: Once dubbed ‘the place of no return’, this long-closed lunatic asylum once housed 6,000 patients who were never allowed to leave.

Buen Camino! Når du tar på deg støvlene og begynner på vandringen vestover mot Santiago de Compostela, tar du også et steg inn i Den iberiske halvøyas kulturhistorie. Gjennom århundrene har millioner av pilegrimer gjort den samme vandringen, funnet stillhet i de samme kapellene underveis og slukket tørsten i de samme kildene.

I denne boken finner du alt du trenger å vite for å gå den mest kjente og populære pilegrimsleden i verden, El Camino Francés. Den er et svært nyttig reisefølge på den 800 kilometer lange vandringen, og gir deg praktisk støtte hele veien fra den landsbyen Saint Pied de Port på den franske siden av Pyreneene fram til Santiago de Compostela. Her kan du for eksempel lett .nne ut hvor langt det er til neste by eller herberge, en god hjelp for å avgjøre om du skal stanse for dagen eller gå et stykke videre. Boken legger også stor vekt på at du skal få en historisk og kulturell bakgrunn for det du ser langs veien, og berike din opplevelse.

Boken forteller deg hvordan du forbereder deg før turen, og kartene viser tydelig hver av dagsetappene, inkludert de tre etappene fra Santiago de Compostela helt ut til kysten ved Kapp Finisterre.

Forfatteren Ulf Luthman har gått de 800 kilometerne til Santiago de Compostela tre ganger, og kjenner godt pilegrimsvandrerens behov.

DorliExplore the world's natural habitats and the plants and animals that live there. From the depths of the ocean to soaring mountain peaks - via coral reefs, deserts, rainforests, and even cityscapes - discover how unexpected wildlife partnerships make up the habitats plants and animals call home. Each habitat section starts with a fascinating illustration to explain how it works, exploring the combination of conditions, plants, and animals that make it up.

It then delves deeper, telling stories about how the inhabitants interact and find their place in each habitat. Survival strategies can be extreme, including frogs that can survive frozen through winter to emerge unharmed in spring. Vying for resources, plants and animals can work together in intimate partnerships, engage in direct competition - fighting tooth and nail over resources - or adapt in particular ways to find their own niche that only they can exploit.

These intricately balanced systems create an incredible and fascinating variety of life on our planet. So what are you waiting for?
