The new Dynamic Earth wall map illustrates plate tectonics and features new bathymetry and naturally colored relief, as well as current volcano and earthquake data. Notable earthquakes and eruptions lists are updated to include the significant earthquakes in Haiti (2010) and Japan (2011) and volcanic eruptions in Eyjafjallajökull, Iceland (2010) and Merapi, Java, Indonesia (2010). Like pieces of a giant jigsaw puzzle, tectonic plates fit together to form the earth’s outer shell. The interaction of these plates causes earthquakes and volcanoes and shapes the earth’s crust into mountains, valleys and deep-sea trenches. The Dynamic Earth map illustrates 17 major tectonic plates and highlights diffuse plate boundaries, convergent boundaries, spreading boundaries, fault zones, hot spots, notable earthquakes and volcanic eruptions of the 20th and 21st centuries, earthquakes with a magnitude of greater than 6.5 during the 20th and 21st centuries, and notable volcanic eruptions during the past 10,000 years.

This special edition map commemorates the National Geographic Society's 125th Anniversary with a modern spin on a classic map design. The map portrays a contemporary political world accompanied by two insets, showing the world as it appeared in 1888 and 1988&;the Society's founding and centennial years. The design features an attractive color palette, clear borders, national capitals and major cities, airports, notable peaks, major rivers and lakes, and stunning ocean topography. This map makes for a beautiful object d'art as well as a wonderful conversation piece.

The map is packaged in a two inch diamater clear plastic tube. The tube has a decorative label showing a thumbnail of the map with dimensions and other pertinent information.

The World Explorer Executive uses the Winkel-Tripel Map Projection, which strikes the best balance of accuracy, aesthetics, and proportion, eliminating the issue found in many other maps where Greenland appears larger than South America.

Map features include: accurate political boundaries and place names, time zone chart, latitude and longitude grids, and three inset tables with the world’s largest countries by size and population, and the population of the world’s largest urban areas.

This map has spectacular color and detail to bring the world alive! Enjoy the accuracy and beauty of this world map, which features the Winkel Tripel projection to reduce distortion of land masses as they near the poles.

This guide offers 30 circular day walks in the eastern half of Provence, the large sun-kissed coastal region of south-east France. Spanning from the red rocks in the Ésterel on the Mediterranean to high mountains inland, the walks are set in the areas of the Alpes Maritimes, the Alpes de Haute-Provence and the Mercantour.

Provence’s sunshine and Mediterranean charm attract many visitors to its coast, yet the area also has much more to offer the walker. The countryside inland boasts a range of scenery from remote mountaintops to spectacular gorges. History is everywhere, in medieval villages, arcaded streets, abbeys, churches and castles. 

This guide covers the eastern regions, with its companion volume, Walking in Provence: West, covering the rest of this fascinating and historic landscape. The walking is incredibly diverse, and explores the country that hugs the Côte d'Azur and Italian border. The Alpes Maritimes rise craggy and wild above towns as unique as Grasse, Cannes and Monaco. The Mercantour National Park in contrast is a partially uninhabited area of high mountains, alpine lakes and red rock gorges known for its wildlife. Further north in the Alpes de Haute-Provence is a largely unspoilt geological playground, including such spectacles as the Verdon Gorge with villages and ancient sites throughout.

Suitable for all walkers of average fitness levels, the walks range from 4 to 21 kilometres in length, and are graded for difficulty from short, easy routes to more challenging walks that can include precipitous sections, but no special equipment is needed.

National Geographic's World map is the standard by which all other reference maps are measured. The World map is meticulously researched and adheres to National Geographic's convention of making independent, apolitical decisions based on extensive research using multiple authoritative source.

The Executive style World map uses an antique-style color palette and stunning shaded relief that provide a richness perfect for any decor. The Pacific Centered World map employs a unique view to accentuate the Pacific Rim, and focuses on Oceania and Asia and while showing the entire breadth of the Pacific Ocean. Drawn in a special Winkel Tripel projection, distortions are minimized and unlike many other World maps, Greenland is show the same size as Argentina and not as the size of all of South America.

Thousands of place names are carefully and artistically placed on the map to maintain legibility even in the heavily populated ares of Europe, Asia and the Middle East. Details include clearly defined international boundaries, cities, physical features, rivers, and ocean floor features. Corner inset maps feature vegetation and land use, and population density as well as the north and south polar regions.

The map is packaged in a two inch diamater clear plastic tube. The tube has a decorative label showing a thumbnail of the map with dimensions and other pertinent information.

Uitstekende wandelgids met een groot aantal dagtochten in dal en hooggebergte. Met praktische informatie en beperkt kaartmateriaal! Wandelingen in verschillende zwaarte weergegeven in rood/blauw/zwart.

Die Insel Usedom mit ihren zahlreichen Sandstränden und den Kaiserbädern und Villen aus dem 19. Jahrhundert ist seit jeher ein beliebtes Urlaubsziel. Der östlichste Teil der Insel mit der Hafenstadt Swinemünde (Swinoujscie) gehört bereits zu Polen. Jenseits der Swine liegt die polnische Insel Wollin (Wolin), die ebenfalls schöne Sandstrände mit alten Seebädern aufweist.

Etwas weniger bekannt sind die Wandermöglichkeiten, die beide Inseln und auch das benachbarte Festland bieten. Ausgiebige Touren kann man auf dem Achterland unternehmen, dessen schönster Teil den Namen Usedomer Schweiz trägt. Der Wanderer kommt dabei an einigen Binnenseen und alten Mühlen vorbei. Die Nachbarinsel Wollin zeichnet sich durch teilweise einsame Sandstrände und Steilküsten aus. Für Wanderer besonders attraktiv ist der Nationalpark Wollin mit dichten, unberührten Laubwäldern und markierten Wanderwegen. Südlich des Stettiner Haffs lädt die weitläufige Ueckermünder Heide zum Wandern ein. Sie erstreckt sich östlich bis vor die Tore Stettins und heißt auf polnischer Seite Puszcza Wkrzanska. Dort erfreuen herrliche Laubwälder mit tief eingeschnittenen Bachtälern den Besucher. Auf dem östlichen Oderufer schließt sich die gut erschlossene Stettiner Buchheide (Puszcza Bukowa) an.

Die vorgestellten Wanderungen sind unterschiedlich lang und überwiegend einfach zu bewältigen. Eine kurze Charakteristik, eine steckbriefartige Auflistung der wichtigsten Fakten, detaillierte Wegbeschreibungen, Wanderkärtchen mit eingezeichneter Route sowie aussagekräftige Streckenprofile liefern alle nötigen Informationen. Zahlreiche Fotos machen Lust auf die Entdeckung dieser reizvollen Wanderregion. GPS-Daten stehen zu allen Touren zum Download bereit.
