In deze spectaculaire Lonely Planet-uitgave vind je 101 schitterende plekken op aarde en lees je hoe je deze zelf kunt gaan bekijken. Bestemmingen als Antarctica, de Amazone, de Victoriawatervallen en de Chinese Muur zijn verbazingwekkend en lijken onbereikbaar, maar zijn dat niet echt. In Lonely Planet 101 wereldwonderen lees je hoe je er komt, wanneer je het beste op reis kunt gaan en waar je kunt overnachten. Geschreven door de experts van Lonely Planet, geïllustreerd met de mooiste fotografie, praktisch en met de beste tips voor ieder budget. Laat je inspireren door dit prachtige boek en ga zelf op reis! Extraordinary? You bet. Elusive? Not quite. From Antarctica and the Amazon to Victoria Falls and the Great Wall of China, Lonely Planet reveals 101 spectacular sights and how to see them on any budget. Inspiring and practical, with expert advice on how and when to visit, where to stay and a range of itineraries, you'll discover how to visit the world's wonders in a way that suits you. This collection includes both natural and human-made sights across the world. We've selected locations that represent the best and most extraordinary 'places to be seen'. There are sights that most people have heard of: the Taj Mahal, Angkor Wat and the Great Wall of China. But also less famous sights that cannot fail to captivate: the entwined tree bridges of Meghalaya in India, the intricate Islamic architecture of Naqsh-e Jahan in Iran, and the massive Buddhist temple of Borobudur in central Java. We've added museums with remarkable collections of wonders too, such as the Rijksmuseum in the Netherlands and the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C. The planet's natural wonders are no less awesome: giant trees in California, cascading lakes in Croatia, multi-coloured hills in China, great waterfalls, and natural phenomena like the wave of cherry blossom that sweeps across Japan each spring, and the light show of the auroras across the planet's northern and southern extremities. The book also explains how you can visit each wonder, whatever your budget. We've compiled a guide to each one that recommends the best times to visit, how to get there, and where to stay and eat - however much you want to spend.

Voor vele landen net zo goed, zo niet beter dan de Planet. Beduidend soberder uitgevoerd, maar ook met veel informatie voor backpackers en met veel kaartmateriaal. Een aanrader! Written by expert travel-writers with more than 40 titles to their name, Bradt's Gascony & the Pyrenees is the only current English-language guide to the entirety of this fascinating, relatively under-visited and consequently affordable region of southwest France. Offering advice on where to stay and eat with what to do and see, this new guide provides everything you need for an enjoyable, fulfilling visit. In Gascony, everyone can find their own adventure. Surfers can ride Atlantic waves at Hossegor and Mimizan. Sun-seekers can loll on the Landes' beaches, then stretch their legs by climbing Europe's tallest sand dune, the Dune du Pilat. Hikers can trek high into the Pyrenees to gawp at majestic cirques, while those less energetic riding a donkey uphill. Families can bike along numerous backways, while cycling buffs cheer on the professionals during the Pyrenees stage of the Tour de France. Activity enthusiasts aside, the region will delight anyone who craves a slower-paced holiday in beautiful natural landscapes. Culture buffs can linger in the coastal art havens of Collioure, Port Vendres and Céret, or discover Palaeolithic cave art at Niaux and Le Mas-d'Azil. Pilgrims can follow the path to Lourdes. Fans of the bizarre can visit Salvador Dali's 'centre of the universe' (Perpignan train station) or La Pourcailhade, the pig festival of Tri-sur-Baïse. Urbanites can enjoy the splendors of Perpignan, Bayonne, Biarritz and Auch, or take it down a notch at medieval Catalan villages. For quirky retail therapy, shopaholics can browse the espadrilles for which Mauléon is famed or the berets synonymous with Oloron-Sainte-Marie. Gourmets will delight in the quality of local cuisine, from cèpe mushrooms and poulet au pot to a flock of duck-based dishes. Cocooned within quiet, natural settings, yoga practitioners can calm mind and body with various wellness therapies. And whatever floats your boat, everyone can relax in some of the hundreds of personally recommended places to stay - from charming inns and spas to restored medieval stables, and even the astronomers' dormitories at the Pic du Midi. All conveyed through the intimate expert insights that characterise Bradt's Gascony & the Pyrenees.

Afrika, een continent van bijna 1,5 miljard mensen, 54 landen en meer dan 2000 talen, wordt regelmatig gereduceerd tot één simpel verhaal. Afrika is geen land dicht de gaten. Al te vaak wordt Afrika voorgesteld als een droog, rood safarilandschap, geteisterd door hongersnood, armoede en conflicten. In dit verrijkende en bij vlagen humoristische boek corrigeert Dipo Faloyin deze beperkte blik en presenteert hij een gelaagd en multidimensionaal beeld van het continent. Hij neemt ons mee naar het zinderende stadsleven in Lagos, schetst de levendige West-Afrikaanse rivaliteit over wie de beste jollofrijst maakt en verhaalt over democratie in zeven dictaturen. Tegelijk laat hij zien hoe willekeurig de landsgrenzen door witte Europese kolonisatoren getrokken werden, legt hij bloot hoe negentig procent van het materiële cultureel erfgoed tijdens het koloniale tijdperk werd gestolen – en hoe moeilijk het tot op de dag van vandaag is om dat terug te krijgen. Afrika is geen land is een intiem en politiek verhaal waarin de alledaagse realiteit van het continent – in al zijn facetten en met al zijn verschillende culturen.
