Reiseführer

Knuspriges aus der Tüte mögen die Brüsseler mehr als die Regelungswut der Eurokratie, sie lieben die eigenen Weltstars Manneken Pis, Magritte und Brel, und sie schätzen Comics nicht weniger als Gaumenfreuden, Antiquitäten oder Bier.Mit den 15 »Direkt-Kapiteln« des Reiseführers von Reinhard Tiburzy können Sie sich zwanglos unter die Brüsseler mischen, direkt in das Stadtleben eintauchen und die Highlights und Hotspots kennenlernen: alte und neue Trendviertel, Atomium und Europaviertel, den belgischen Jugendstil oder spannende Museen. In eigenen Kapiteln erfahren Sie, wo es sich in fremden Betten gut schläft, wo Sie glücklich satt werden, wohin die Brüsseler zum Stöbern und Entdecken gehen und wohin es sie zieht, wenn die Nacht beginnt.Mit den Übersichtskarten, genauen Stadtteilplänen und dem separaten großen Cityplan können Sie sich nach Lust und Laune durch die Stadt treiben lassen.

Sand Paper Stone is the story of a British man from Liverpool living in London where he works in a decent job, with good friends from different backgrounds, yet as a muslim convert and with a landmark moment in his life approaching he finds himself compelled to embark on his pilgrimage to Mecca. Despite encountering obstacles at the consulate in London and also on arrival at Jeddah he is taken in as a 'wayfarer' by a large extended family who assist in instructing him in the rituals and requirements of attendance at Islam's holiest shrine and watch on at his astonishment at the scenes that they witness together. However, just at the moment when he begins to come close to realising the spiritual ambitions of his journey, the practicalities of life invade the peace in the form of what seems petty officialdom and he finds himself launched into a bureaucratic maze, at first trapped in baffling meetings with lofty government ministers and lethargic administrators before finally running alone in the night through an empty terminal onto a runway looking for a plane to Geneva.

In early May 1864 Union armies left their winter encampment near Chattanooga, Tennessee, and began a march to Atlanta. Four months later -- on September 3 -- William T. Sherman wired Abraham Lincoln, Atlanta is ours, and fairly won!""The fall of Atlanta was not just one more Union victory. It was pivotal to the outcome of the entire Civil War and also to Lincoln''s reelection. With the fall of Atlanta, Confederate morale plummeted. The South''s most significant manufacturing center was destroyed, and its primary railroad connections were cut. The destruction of Atlanta was not just a Union victory over one city, but a key to the end of the war.Fields of Glory traces the story of the campaign from the Tennessee border through the heart of Georgia to Jonesboro. Included is a series of driving tours that enable readers to see firsthand the battlefields and important sites of the campaign.Also included are more than 85 illustrations, 25 original maps, a lively history of the campaign, fascinating tours of the battlefields, articles on military strategy, biographies of generals, the chronology of key battles and important events, sources for additional travel information, a bibliography, and an index.""In General Sherman''s mind, "" Jim Miles explains, ""before the Civil War could be brought to a victorious conclusion, Atlanta had to be destroyed and the Confederacy denied its products. From that day, Atlanta was a doomed city.""""

Das Buch beschreibt die Reise mit einem alten VW-Bus T2, Baujahr 1972, quer durch die USA. Aufgrund seines Alters hat der Bus viele Macken und ist für jede Menge Überraschungen gut. Florida wird hier abseits der Touristenrouten gezeigt, bevorzugt der Autor zur Übernachtung doch eher Supermarktparkplätze und freie Camp- bzw. Stellplätze als staatliche oder private Campingplätze. Es entstehen eine außergewöhnliche Perspektive, ungewöhnliche Begegnungen und bemerkenswerte Bekanntschaften.Das Buch bietet jede Menge Reisetipps und interessante Reparaturansätze um einen über 50 Jahre alten Motor tausende Kilometer zur Weiterfahrt zu bewegen.

Kaum ein anderer Naturpark in Bayern ist so reich strukturiert wie der Nördliche Oberpfälzer Wald. Stille Weiherlandschaften wechseln mit ausgedehnten Forstgebieten, bizarre Felslandschaften mit wildromantischen Bachtälern. Und immer wieder grüßen Burgruinen und Kirchen von den sanften Kuppen und Hügeln ins weite Land. Eine davon - die Burgruine Flossenbürg - ist auch das Wahrzeichen dieser ungewöhnlichen Landschaft. Und dann sind da natürlich noch die vielen barocken Zwiebeln von Kirchen, die idyllisch gelegene Dörfer überragen. Der zwischen dem Fränkischen Jura im Westen, dem Böhmerwald im Osten, dem Fichtelgebirge im Norden und dem Bayerischen Wald im Süden gelegene Oberpfälzer Wald ist mit seinen sanften Hügeln noch immer ein Geheimtipp. Dabei gibt es im Naturpark Nördlicher Oberpfälzer Wald viele Superlative - wie das tiefste Loch der Erde, den schönsten Basaltkegel Europas, den längsten Bahntrassenradweg Bayerns und die prächtigste Burgruine der Oberpfalz. Und dann sind da natürlich noch verwunschene Plätze wie die Wolfslohklamm im Lerautal bei Leuchtenberg, das "Teufelsbutterfass" im Doost bei Floß oder die versunkene Stadt Mirga im Oberpfälzer Hügelland zwischen Speinshart und Pressath. Die aktualisierte, überarbeitete und reich illustrierte Neuauflage des offiziellen Naturpark- und Wanderführers für den Nördlichen Oberpfälzer Wald ist ein spannendes Lesebuch und gleichzeitig ein nützlicher Begleiter bei der Erkundung. Autor Wolfgang Benkhardt ist in diesem Gebiet aufgewachsen und hat die Entstehung und Entwicklung des Naturparks jahrzehntelang als Zeitungsredakteur journalistisch begleitet. Er lotst mit dem Buch, das in jede Westentasche passt, zu den schönsten Ausflugszielen, informiert über Artenschutz und Landschaftspflege, erzählt die Geschichte der Feuerberge, berichtet von der Rückkehr des Wolfes, verrät, was hinter dem Zoiglkult steckt und beleuchtet die Arbeit der Ranger. Und natürlich ist auch "Butzlkouh", das Maskottchen des Naturparks, mit von der Partie.

A Geo-Big Year: Pandemic Retirement is for the Birds. This book recounts a year-long birding quest across Pennsylvania in 2021. The quest was to see at least 67 bird species in each of the state's 67 counties. During the quest year, the author (now Professor of Geography Emeritus from Penn State University) coped with the process of retiring after 42 years in academia and the challenges that the Covid-19 pandemic posed for safe travel. The book chronicles the birding experiences and birds seen as well as the travel and retirement challenges. The story, told chronologically, is focused on the search for birds. It includes an account of what birds were seen (or not seen) in specific counties and specific sites within those counties. It also recounts the quest itself as it unfolded. Written by a Geographer, places visited are also highlighted. The narrative conveys the adventure of experiencing the mix of both popular and seldom visited places. These places were mostly rural and included state and county parks, game lands, wildlife refuges, trails, and forests across the state together with less attractive places (for humans) that still attract birds (such as cemeteries, retention ponds, and county dumps). The book includes 471 black and white figures, most of which are photo composites of birds seen and/or of the places visited. In total, the 471 figures consist of more than 600 photos of birds plus more than 300 other images (that include landscape scenes, signage, non-bird creatures seen, maps, and graphs). The book is intended for a wide audience. Aspects of the account should resonate with readers who: are or want to be birders; are retired or contemplating retirement; like to travel, particularly on back roads and to natural places that are off the beaten track; are academics thinking about work life balance; have tried (or thought about trying) camping after not doing any for a long time; have a bucket list to pursue; have experienced life changes or expect to have some soon; or have ever contemplated pursuing a birding big year or any other kind of year-long quest.
