THE LANDSCAPES COMPANION It's a book you can use for reference, dipping into it whenever you need to, or which can just as easily be read through from cover to cover. It will answer many questions you may have about southern Europe's countryside and contains illustrations taken from many of the books in the series. It will undoubtedly inspire you with ideas for new holidays but will also enable you to enjoy even more the places you athought you knew already! Just some of the many topics dealt with in an easily-understandable, conversational style are: the natural landscape "Handy to dip into on a rainy day or after a day's walking, this little book contains all sorts of essential information. The chapter on getting to grips with a map and compass is particularly comprehensive. Useful tips are included, such as the fact that an energetic walker could need four litres of water a day. It's also the sort of book that would be useful if you're into quizzes. Did you know, for instance, that yew wood was used for making longbows, and that every day the earth is battered by some 45,000 thunderstorms?" (Walking Abroad) "We were not surprised to find it excellent as your books always are that, but it's really superb - so much so that we have spent most of the day reading the best bits out to each other!" (B.S., Mansfield) ‘The Walking Companion, which complements the Landscapes series perfectly, is heartily endorsed’ (Daily Telegraph) Printed in full colour, this 136-page book is in the same convenient pocket format as the 'Landscapes' Series, but has a totally different page layout. (Note: If you buy from Amazon, book prices are discounted, therefore amazon.co.uk's post paid prices differ from those shown here.) | ||||
