Mainland Greece promises incredible ancient relics, inspiring cities, idyllic beaches, and mountains steeped in myth and legend. Whether you want to watch the sun sink behind the marble columns of the Parthenon in Athens, visit iconic archaeological sites such as Delphi and Olympia, or simply soak up the sun on the sandy beaches of Halkidiki, your DK Eyewitness travel guide makes sure you experience all that mainland Greece has to offer. World-class museums and archaeological sites may be the first things that come to mind when you think of Greece, but the country is home to both old and new.

Take Europe's oldest city, for example: Athens has a youthful vibe and buzzing nightlife, where upmarket restaurants stand alongside traditional grill eateries and old-school ouzeris jostle with the trendy cocktail bars of up-and-coming urban neighbourhoods. Beyond the cities, the rural landscapes of mainland Greece are stunningly diverse, stretching from the barren peaks of the northern Pindos to the sunny vineyards of Attica and the Peloponnese. Our newly updated guide brings Athens and the mainland to life, transporting you there like no other travel guide does with expert-led insights, trusted travel advice, detailed breakdowns of all the must-see sights, photographs on practically every page, and our hand-drawn illustrations which place you inside the region's iconic buildings and neighbourhoods.

This new guide to Northern Greece, written by Greece expert and long-time travel writer Dana Facaros, is the only guide available to the region and includes the areas of Epirus, Thessaly, Macedonia and Thrace, complete with their five dramatically beautiful national parks, the country's highest peaks and mountain lakes, rushing rivers and the world's deepest gorge, and (this is Greece, after all) long sandy beaches. Sections on background and practical information are followed by an easy-to-follow breakdown of the area offering detailed coverage in 12 chapters, from Greece's second city, Thessaloniki, to Chalkidiki, Central Macedonia, Eastern Macedonia, Thrace, Western Macedonia, Epirus (including Ioannina), Thessaly and Magnesia, the Pelion Peninsula and the Islands, plus a short chapter on Athens, the gateway for many visitors to Greece. Greece is becoming more popular by the year and this area in particular offers the more natural, authentic experience that many travellers seek.

Bradt's Northern Greece focuses on just this relatively unknown but up-and-coming region and is an ideal companion for travellers of all ages, budgets and interests, from culture lovers to wildlife enthusiasts, history buffs to archaeologists, foodies to wine connoisseurs. Holidays in the great outdoors are covered, too, including mountain climbing, skiing, white water rafting, rock climbing, sailing, canyoning and sea kayaking, not to mention those who just want to sit on a sandy beach and dance the night away.

The go-to Southern Peloponnese travel guide for discovering the best walks and car tours. Strap on your boots and discover the Southern Peloponnese on foot with the Sunflower Southern Peloponnese travel guide. And on the days when your feet may have had enough, enjoy some spectacular scenery on one of our legendary car tours.

The Sunflower Southern Peloponnese guide is indispensable for hiking in the Peloponnese or seeing the Peloponnese by car. There are hidden landscapes throughout mainland Greece, but the region which packs the most variety into the smallest space is the Peloponnese. From the beaches of Arcadia to the fir forests of Mt Parnon, from the olive groves of Kalamata to the pyramidal peak of Prophet Elijah, from classical Sparta to medieval Mani, this compact semi-island has it all.

Though the ancients called it 'the island of Pelops', after their mythical king, this three-fingered landmass is joined to the mainland by a narrow isthmus at Corinth. Only in the 19th century was a canal finally cut through the isthmus, but it retains the cultural diversity and spectacular scenery of the mainland. Because there's so much to discover, the author has drawn an east-west line roughly through the middle of the Peloponnese, and limited the book to the southern half.

New from Bradt, Greenland is the first standalone travel guidebook to the country from a mainstream publisher. Targeted at independent travellers, but equally serving those visiting on organised tours or cruises, this guide combines essential information - such as getting around on an island lacking roads connecting the major settlements - with advice on what to see and do, and where to stay and eat. Every chapter is infused with Greenland's remarkable combination of pristine nature and traditional culture, which sets it apart from Arctic neighbours - and which makes a trip so rewarding.

The world's twelfth-largest country, but also part of the Kingdom of Denmark, Greenland sits near the top of the world, a vast expanse of white in a planet full of green, blue and brown. Today's visitors relish opportunities for close encounters with immense icebergs and glaciers. The epic scenery provides the backdrop to the numerous activities on offer - from visiting the world's second-largest ice sheet or taking to the sea in search of thirteen species of whale, and from hiking the 165-km-long Arctic Circle Trail to seeking out polar bears, musk oxen and walruses.

Greenland in winter is another world, the endless night brightened by the mesmerising northern lights. It remains a snowy paradise until spring - the best time to travel by dog sled or snowmobile across the frozen tundra. To relax afterwards, why not close your trip with a few days of nature-inspired art, eclectic culture and fine dining in the diminutive capital, Nuuk? Greenland has always been a destination for pioneering explorers, be they the Inuit who arrived from the west, the Norsemen who came from the east or mariners seeking the Northwest Passage.

Written by Caribbean-based writer, publisher and photographer Paul Crask, this new, thoroughly updated fourth edition of Bradt's Grenada, Carriacou and Petite Martinique remains the only standalone guide to this alluring Caribbean-island destination. With insider knowledge gleaned from 15-plus years' exploration, Bradt's guidebook is rich in detail, local colour and practical information. Detailed listings covering accommodation (from homestays to top-range boutique hotels), dining and activities (including off-the-beaten-path experiences) are complemented by the author's personal take on making the most of your stay.

Grenada is an English-speaking tri-island nation famed for its nutmeg and cocoa, sailing regattas attracting international crowds, jaw-dropping beaches, pastoral villages, mountain trails, fabulous scuba diving including an underwater sculpture gallery, and strong cultural traditions including carnival parades. The main island, Grenada, has a tall spine of forested mountain ridges surrounded by rivers, waterfalls and farmlands, and the scenic coastline is replete with secluded bays and anchorages. To the north lie the tranquil islands of Carriacou and Petite Martinique, which harbour deserted beaches and coral reefs, boast traditions of Big Drum Dance and boat building, and offer a warm, friendly welcome.

This new edition incorporates the many developments on the islands over recent years. These include an increasingly impressive diversity of accommodation options resulting from ongoing investment, including a new resort on Grenada's Grand Anse Beach, which complement the more traditional feel maintained in the north of the island and its smaller neighbours. Also featured is Grenada's renewed focus on hiking trails, an addition to Grenada's already fascinating chocolate industry.

Visiting this year-round destination is increasingly easy thanks to ever-more frequent, direct flights from North America and Europe. With ample great accommodation and dining options, Grenada perfectly blends traditional island life with modern Caribbean living. Whether you are into yachting, scuba diving on wrecks and reefs, kayaking through mangrove forests, hiking mountain trails, 'jumping-up' at carnival, sampling vintage rums at historic distilleries, exploring historic estates, or relaxing poolside at luxurious beachside resorts, Bradt's Grenada, Carriacou and Petite Martinique is ideal for travellers of all kinds.

Grænselandet er en helt særlig del af Danmark og det nordlige Tyskland. Marsken og Vadehavet er storslåede, kulturlivet er særdeles aktivt, og kagebordene er fristende over evne. Og så er det en del af landet, hvor befolkningen virkelig tænker over, hvad det vil sige at være dansk – eller tysk.

Den prisbelønnede danske forfatter Kristian Ditlev Jensen, der i flere år har været bosat i Sønderjylland, har sammen med journalist og antropolog Gunhild Riske skrevet Turen går til grænselandet om historien, kulturen, naturen og stederne i området. Den besøgende guides med bogen til en bedre forståelse af egnens historie og den helt særlige kultur, man finder i et område, hvor grænsen har flyttet sig flere gange.

Guiden dækker grænselandet nord og syd for grænsen i de to zoner, hvor man stemte om tilhørsforholdet til Danmark og Tyskland i 1920 – og lidt til. Området er rigt på både kunstneriske og kulturelle oplevelser, og det er en egn, hvor den smukke og dramatiske natur ikke kan undgå at spille en hovedrolle for både indbyggere og besøgende. Med denne bog får man mulighed for at dykke ned i sønderjysk, nordtysk og frisisk kultur i et område, der er præget af flere sprog og nationale tilhørsforhold og en natur, der er skabt af istiden og menneskenes trang til at beherske jorden. Guiden er rigt illustreret med fotos og kort.

1. september 1939 gikk Hitler inn i Polen, og andre verdenskrig var i gang. Norge erklærte seg nøytralt, men et halvt år senere, 9. april 1940, invaderte tyskerne likevel landet. Kongen og regjeringen forlot landet for å drive kampen videre fra London.


I årene som fulgte, valgte mange unge norske kvinner og menn å bli del av motstandsgrupper, ofte med stor fare for eget liv. Noen av disse gruppene dro til skogs for å drive motstandsarbeidet derfra. Dette er fortellingen om en slik gruppe.


Boka er skrevet av Loe, Schreiner & Johannessen som er teamet bak NRK-serien «Kampen for tilværelsen».

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.

Explore 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?

Håndbok for unge antirasister av Tinashe Williamson belyser og engasjerer, og oppfordrer til det aller viktigste: nemlig dialog. Gjennom ti kapitler og ti fiktive karakterer svarer Williamson på spørsmål som hva rasisme egentlig er, hvorfor representasjon er viktig og hva man kan si hvis man opplever at noen blir diskriminert mot på grunn av hudfargen sin.

Rasisme er et vanskelig tema for oss voksne å navigere, og for mange er det derfor ekstra krevende å snakke med barna våre om det. For hva skal man egentlig si? Hvor skal man begynne?

Denne engasjerende, inkluderende og lærerike boka er skrevet i "skoledagbokformat" med oppgaver og samtaler som barna lett kan ta med de voksne hjemme eller sammen med klassen på skolen. Målet er å gi stafettpinnen videre til den oppvoksende generasjonen, og få dem til å føle at de har makt til å forandre verden. Sammen står vi sterkere, og bare ved å anerkjenne problemet kan vi få bukt med det.

Dette er en uunnværlig bok for barn fra 9 år og oppover, og den vil fungere like godt hjemme som i undervisningssammenheng.

Guide for the iconic Haute Route: Glacier Trek from Chamonix to Zermatt, taking in classic alpine scenery.

Undoubtedly the world's most famous ski traverse, the Haute Route takes skiers through the most prestigious ranges of the Alps, crossing the glaciers and high passes between Chamonix (F) and Zermatt (CH). Every year, around 4000 skiers undertake this unforgettable one-week traverse between the mountaineering capitals of the Alps.

The introductory sections provide a wealth of practical advice on preparation, strategy and equipment, plus expert tips and a brief history of the traverse, all of which serve to highlight the alpine dimension of the Haute Route. Each stage is then presented in detail through comprehensive route descriptions, profiles of the climbs and descents, sketch maps and photos showing the route to follow.
