This new thoroughly updated edition of Bradt s Namibia remains the essential guide for a successful visit to this vast country - more than twice the size of Germany but with less than 3% of the population. Written by expert author and long-standing tour specialist Chris McIntyre, this sixth edition incorporates all the most recent changes, including unrivalled coverage of places to stay and eat, from small, personal guesthouses to classy hotels and upmarket game lodges, and detailed information for self-drivers (including personally researched and checked GPS coordinates) as well as for fly-in and guided safaris. There s also in-depth coverage of wildlife and where to see it, including a new full-colour wildlife field guide section, covering mammals, reptiles and amphibians, marine life and birds.Two background chapters covering everything from history and politics to people, ethnic groups and culture are complemented by two chapters on planning, preparation, health and safety and two on the practicalities of getting around and camping and walking in the bush (including canoeing). Helping you to discover Namibia in detail, 13 chapters offer a regional breakdown, from the capital, Windhoek to the Southern Kalahari, Namib desert, Swakopmund, Skeleton Coast, Etosha National Park, and the Kavango and Zambezi regions in the extreme northeast, including excursions into neighbouring Botswana.With sweeping landscapes and empty roads, Namibia has long captured the imaginations of travellers and photographers. Its immense emptiness offers majestic sand dunes, seemingly endless gravel plains, vast tracts of farmland and rugged mountains hiding galleries of ancient Bushman rock art. Add to this the wildlife and the unexpected beauty of the rivers that define the country s northern and southern boundaries, and it s easy to see why Namibia attracts lovers of the great outdoors.

This new, thoroughly updated sixth edition of Bradt s Botswana Safari Guide remains the only full-blown, standalone guide to one of Africa s most popular and rewarding safari destinations. This is the sole guide to focus on Botswana s key safari locations: the Okavango Delta, Chobe National Park and the Northern Kalahari. Botswana s wilderness is pristine, a virtue underpinned by governmental commitment to sustainable tourism. The Okavango Delta s permanent waters attract year-round wildlife, including all the big five . Outside the Delta, this English-speaking country offers tremendous variety in landscapes, from the arid Kalahari to lush forests. Riverine areas harbour spectacular herds of elephants and buffalo, as well as mighty predator populations. Dusty savannahs attract hardier game such as oryx and springbok. On Makgadikgadi s great salt pans, zebras gather in huge congregations after rain. Birdwatching is brilliant throughout. Then there s Botswana s rich history, from the ancient rock paintings at the Tsodilo Hills to Stone Age arrowheads on the Makgadikgadi Pans. Bradt s Botswana Safari Guide offers detailed descriptions of many lodges, from traditional tented camps to those offering five-star luxury and top-class cuisine, plus detail on what animals occur where, enabling you to select the optimum approach. With this book s comprehensive GPS co-ordinates and detailed maps, independent travellers can drive themselves around. But perhaps you prefer bespoke mobile safaris with a private guide? Either way, take a night drive to see creatures of the dark: genets and hunting leopards. For a different feel, explore rivers on gentle motorboat cruises, including on multi-day trips, or get closer to the water in a traditional mokoro (dug-out canoe), with a poler escorting you along shallow waterways. Or seek out a specialist walking camp for the excitement of bush walks - when meerkats might even pose atop your head for a great lookout. And why not use this book s advice to book-end trips by visiting Livingstone (Zambia) and the Victoria Falls?Written and updated by Chris and Susie McIntyre, experts on all things Africa, Bradt s Botswana Safari Guide is the definitive companion to discovering this thrilling destination.

Americký národní park Yellowstone se kdysi honosil početnou vlčí populací, avšak ve dvacátých letech minulého století strážci parku zabili posledního z nich. Ve snaze navrátit místnímu ekosystému rovnováhu se pak o několik desetiletí později pokusili přivést vlky zase zpátky. V 90. letech byl spuštěn projekt na obnovení populace vlků v Yellowstonu, jehož důležitou součástí byl autor této knihy. Svým osobitým stylem nás nechává nahlédnout do života vlčích smeček a prožít příběhy jednotlivých vlčích jedinců. Tedy především jednoho z nich - vlka 8, který se dokázal z nejmenšího, šikanovaného mláděte vypracovat v největšího vlka, který kdy žil. Rick McIntyre strávil studiem a sledováním vlků v amerických národních parcích více než čtyřicet let. Tyto šelmy se mu podařilo zahlédnout na stotisíckrát a deník, v němž si vede záznamy z pozorování, čítá dvanáct tisíc stránek. Jeho práce přinesla zatím nejdetailnější obraz o tom, jak vlci žijí, jak se chovají a jak pravděpodobně přemýšlejí. Nyní je McIntyre v důchodu, jeho vášeň pro vlky ho však stále neopouští. Předmluvu ke knize napsal známý herec a režisér Robert Redford, kniha zároveň obsahuje barevnou fotografickou přílohu.

The universe of Christo and Jeanne-Claude The work of the artist couple Christo (1935–2020) and Jeanne-Claude (1935–2009) resists categorization.

Named to the Civil Eats 2025 Food and Farming Holiday Book Gift Guide How we can meet the challenges of our age by moving away from the political and economic philosophies of both the left and right to a more equitable re-organization of society, economy, land and food production, driven by the local community rather than a central government. Today, society and government are still asking what our country can yield, and in what quantity. They do so because in a sense we are still living in conquest-based societies. Agrarian thinker Chris Smaje opens this book by drawing an arresting modern parallel to Viking raiding, trading and enslaving societies and the Ragnarok they faced then of dramatic climate change and societal collapse. So, to meet these modern crises, Chris asks us to look beyond the current discourse of capitalism versus chaos, and indeed the dualism of â ˜state versus marketâ ™ and the â ˜state with the marketâ ™, both of which has failed us. Instead, Chris explores a world where we live slower lives more immersed in local ecologies. Where our present Viking age has inflicted a thorough alienation from place and local livelihood, Chris proposes other models of collective organization, where land and capital are seen as a common good that involves a widespread and secure redistribution. These ideas are the basic principles associated with distributism â “ broadly, that issues should be dealt with at the most immediate or local level feasible and governance, wherever possible, should be bottom-up. There should also be a moral economy founded in ideals of justice. Work and production should rest on commitments struck in a community rather than deals in a market. There should be a concept of shared common good, of what life is for. Ultimately, we should build a sense of future possibility around local ecological societies dedicated to human and ecological wellbeing. Much of the global damage to the environment has arisen not because people were there in the landscape, but because they werenâ ™t. Itâ ™s time to hospice modernity and build a green Earth rising. In this book, Chris discusses what this society and landscape might look like in the near future and longer term.

The dazzlingly brilliant Chris Riddell brings his magical illustration talents to J.K. Rowling s gloriously inventive The Tales of Beedle the Bard in a fully illustrated colour edition of this essential classic for Harry Potter fans. Translated from the runes by Hermione Granger, the volume includes The Tale of the Three Brothers , familiar to readers of Harry Potter from the crucial role it played in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Mischievous and witty, these five rollicking tales are a deeply satisfying read in the tradition of all great fables and fairytales. Kindnesses are rewarded and selfishness shown to be the ruin of many a wizard. Burping cauldrons, hairy hearts and cackling stumps are met along the way. Each of the tales is accompanied by a deliciously subversive and insightful commentary by Professor Albus Dumbledore, all brought vividly to life with Riddell s trademark wit and elegance. Former Waterstones Children s Laureate Chris Riddell is the only illustrator to have won the Kate Greenaway Medal three times, and is brought together here for the first time with one of the world s best loved storytellers in this new edition of J.K.

Chris Stringer s bestselling The Origin of our Species tackles the big questions in the ongoing debate about the beginnings of human life on earth. Do all humans originate from Africa? How did we spread across the globe? Are we separate from Neanderthals, or do some of us actually have their genes?

Chris Stringer has been involved in much of the crucial research into the origins of humanity, and here he draws on a wealth of evidence - from fossils and archaeology to Charles Darwin s theories and the mysteries of ancient DNA - to reveal the definitive story of where we came from, how we lived, how we got here and who we are.
