During the 1930s and 1940s, National Geographic designed several world maps using a projection that separated the eastern and western hemispheres. We have brought back this classic view of the world with modern cartography and elegant earth tones for a fashionably retro view of the world.
Bijzonder fraaie natuurkundige kaart van National Geographic waarbij het accent ligt op de fysische aspecten van de aarde met veel details van de oceanen. Een schoonheid aan de muur!
Our World Physical - Ocean Floor map highlights the Earth's land and undersea forms with exquisite hand-painted relief. Drawn in the Winkel Tripel projection to minimize distortion of the landforms. Two corner inset maps show the Earth's crust and world climatic zones
.Superb representation of the ocean floor makes this physical map of the world one of the most interesting titles in the National Geographic Society’s long list of wall maps. Drawn with great skill to achieve a 3-D effect, ocean floor plains, basins, continental shelves, trenches, ridges and fractures are shown with their names, indicating in many places their depth in metres.
On land masses relief shading shows the mountain chains, whilst the colouring indicates different types of terrain: arid regions, vegetation, tundra, etc. The map has names of mountain ranges, plateaux, deserts, plains, etc., but no country names or boundaries, with only selected major cities marked.
The two Polar Regions are presented as insets in the top corners, while at the bottom two colourful maps of the world show the tectonic plates with the earth crust coloured according to its age, plus the world’s climatic zones. Projection is Winkel Tripel, which reduces distortion of land masses as they near the poles
The colorful World Explorer map is designed using the Winkel Tripel projection, which reduces the distortion of land masses near the poles. Inset charts list largest cities by population and the largest countries by land mass and population.
The Pacific-centered map employs a new map projection to accentuate the Pacific Rim, and shows Oceania and Asia in close proportion to their actual size on the Earth. It brings Oceania and Asia into the center of the picture, while dramatically showing the entire breadth of the Pacific Ocean. The Pacific-centered world map features classic National Geographic cartography, with political boundaries, thousands of place names, time zones, and special insets showing world vegetation and land use, and population density.
Uitgebreide wandelgids van Lanzarote en Fuerteventura: goede beschrijvingen, veel keuze, kaarten wat minder goed.
This book offers 21 walks on Lanzarote, two on Isla La Graciosa (off Lanzarote's northern coast) and 22 on Fuerteventura, including 14 walks on the GR 131 trail, which crosses both islands. These 45 traditional routes link several villages and span a range of arid agricultural and natural areas.
Both popular holiday destinations, Lanzarote and Fuerteventura are two remarkably different islands. Lanzarote has a fascinating volcanic national park at Timanfaya, and vineyards fill huge areas of black volcanic ash at La Geria; Fuerteventura is famous for extensive golden beaches, but its splendid mountain paths are less well-known. Both islands are crossed by new waymarked trails.
These traditional routes span a range of arid, agricultural and natural areas, including hill and mountain trails, coastal walks including Fuerteventura’s golden beaches, and some walks visit villages along the way.
Both islands are linked by frequent half-hour ferries
Practical information for walkers, including notes on refreshments and transport
Best for walking from September until April
Seasons
Both renowned for being dry and sunny, but with strong winds; often a short wet spell in winter, followed by a rapid greening of the landscape and a wealth of flowers around February/March; summers can be too hot for walking
Centres
Lanzarote: Arrecife, Costa Teguise, Puerto del Carmen, Playa Blanca; Fuerteventura: Morro Jable, Costa Calma, Puerto del Rosario, Corralejo
Difficulty
Many of the routes have been cleared, signposted and waymarked; hill and mountain trails are often fairly easy, but can be steep, stony and rocky in places; coastal walks range from sandy beaches to rugged cliffs of broken lava; always carry water and guard against the sun
Must See
Lanzarote: volcanic national park at Timanfaya; vineyards at La Geria. Fuerteventura: famous beaches; splendid mountain paths, recently cleared, signposted and waymarked. Both: the long-distance GR 131
This guide offers 30 circular day walks in the western half of Provence, the large sun-kissed coastal region of south-east France. Spanning from the Baronnies in the north to the Ste-Baume ridge in the south, the walks are set in the areas of the Drôme Provençale, Vaucluse and the Var.
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 western regions, with its companion volume, Walking in Provence: East, covering the rest of this fascinating and historic landscape. The walking is incredibly diverse; from the green waves of the Barronies hills in Drôme Provençale, to the unforgettable silhouette of Mont Ventoux giving way to limestone plateaux cut with ravines in the Vauclause. Further south lies Var, containing rock and wood-strewn hills inland, and a coast full of knarled inlets and hidden beaches.
Suitable for all walkers of average fitness levels, the walks range from 4 to 21 kilometres, and are graded for difficulty from short, easy routes to more challenging walks that can include precipitous sections, but no special equipment is needed.

Beschrijving van 3 langere wandeltochten in en rondom het centrum van Parijs.
La Traversée N°1 est orientée Ouest-Est. Elle traverse la Seine à deux reprises mais se situe en grande partie rive gauche. L'itinéraire chemine à travers des quartiers pittoresques, tels que le Quartier Latin et la Montagne Ste Geneviève, évoquant l'enceinte Philippe-Auguste, et au plus bas la Bièvre. Le circuit permet également d'emprunter plusieurs grands espaces verts : Champs de Mars, jardin du Luxembourg, jardin des Plantes ou le parc de Bercy.
La Traversée N°2 est un itinéraire Nord-Sud, au relief plus accusé, qui permet de relier deux grands parcs haussmanniens : les parcs des Buttes-Chaumont et Montsouris. Elle permet d'arpenter quelques quartiers historiques comme le Marais et ses hôtels particuliers, les rues moyenâgeuses du secteur Maubert-Saint-Séverin ou le quartier Mouffetard.
La Traversée N°3 est orientée Ouest-Est, reliant la porte Maillot à la porte Dorée, et vous propose une découverte des anciens villages de la capitale. L'itinéraire musarde en traversant le parc Monceau ou celui de Belleville, en explorant le parc des Buttes-Chaumont, en escaladant la butte Montmartre et le plateau de Belleville, ou en longeant l'ancien chemin de fer de Petite Ceinture.
L'itinéraire se découpe en 3 traversées permettant de parcourir la capitale à travers ses coins les plus emblématiques. D'ouest en est, la première traversée emmène le randonneur du Bois de Boulogne jusqu'au Bois de Vincennes en cheminant sur la rive-gauche parisienne non loin de la Seine. Du nord au sud, la deuxième traversée relie le parc de la Villette à celui de Montsouris pour une randonnée plus sportive. La troisième traversée d'ouest en est relie la porte Maillot à la porte Dorée en passant par la butte Montmartre et croise les deux autres traversées.
