"501 Must-Read Books" is like the wisest, cleverest, best-read and trusted friend you have ever had.

This comprehensive guide will inspire you to read more widely than you could have imagined and to explore previously untrodden paths in your bookstore or library. In these pages you will find travel rubbing shoulders with memoir, modern and classic fiction, nestling together, sci-fi and thrillers, children's books and history all gathered and reviewed in sometimes surprising but always stimulating essays.

560 руб501 Must-Take Journeys
Journeys - journeys to work, to school or university, to the theatre or cinema, to do the shopping or laundry or pick up the kids - most of us are taking journeys every day. We see the same old sights each time and mostly we let our brains work on automatic, failing to derive any pleasure from the actual trip, because we just don't expect to. Our most ardent wish, if ever expressed, would be for the journey to be over with just a click of the fingers. The destination is all. Many sun-seeking holiday makers would also much rather reach their seaside holiday destination without the trials of the trip there - the queues at the airport, the flight, the walking, the traffic. Yet in recent years increasing numbers of people, though still not immune to the occasional lazy pleasures of beach life, have become fascinated by the variety of interests and challenges presented by all manner of different journeys. They have realized that to take a journey can enable them to...

519 руб501 Must-Visit Destinations
David Brown, Jackum Brown, Kieran Fogarty, Rebecca Walder Fifty or sixty years ago travelling abroad for most people was an unrealizable dream. Only the wealthy with a lot of time on their hands could afford to travel to a foreign country for a holiday and even for them the idea of going to South America, Africa or Asia would have been pretty much unthinkable. The development of air transport over the past few decades has changed all that. Today your often-dreamed-of trip to Cambodia or Uganda or Bolivia or even Antarctica can so easily become reality. More and more people from many different countries and of all age groups are catching the travel bug all the time. The most remote places on earth are today accessible to the intrepid traveller. Whether it be the remarkable Yemeni island of Socotra in the Indian Ocean or Lake Baikal in Siberia, or Aitutaki in the South Pacific, none of the destinations in this book should be much more than two days' total travelling time from a major airport - provided you have the determination,...

While this book gives you the opportunity to read and learn about 501 of the most spectacular examples, there are an infinite number of natural wonders all around us.

Mountain ranges, deserts, gorges, rivers,...
