13th March 2009 - Bradt Travel Guides
NEW EDITIONS
Maldives – Edition 4 – By Royston Ellis
The latest fully updated edition of Bradt’s Maldives now covers the entire archipelago and will prove invaluable for every visitor from backpacker to billionaire. This 4th edition of the guide adds 20 new resorts to the 90 already covered as expanding air links with Europe have made the islands an accessible playground for hundreds of thousands of visitors. However, though palm-fringed white sand beaches and turquoise lagoons may be the main draw this is still a sovereign nation and not just a tropical theme park. Bradt’s guide explores Maldivian history, culture, language and crafts together with prescient issues of climate change and sea-level rise particularly pertinent to a low-lying paradise.
Cost £15.99 ISBN 978 1 84162 266 8 Publication – Out Now!
Cape Verde Islands – Edition 4 – By Aisling Irwin & Colum Wilson
Perhaps because of the current economic climate Bradt’s guides to isolated islands have proved increasingly popular - Cape Verde Islands is no exception. Moored 460kms off the coast of West Africa, Cape Verde had a recent spate gracing the property sections of the quality press. However, the islands are more than just a place in the sun. Detailing culture and history, offering frank advice on the islands’ highs and lows together with hotel and homestay listings, hiking routes and an expanded wildlife section, Bradt’s new edition brings the destination up to date. And for those who really have had enough of Robert Peston’s tales of doom there’s a special chapter on living and working in Cape Verde.
Cost £14.99 ISBN 978 1 84162 276 7 Publication – Out Now!
Sri Lanka – Edition 3 – By Royston Ellis
Rebuilding after the 2004 tsunami is now almost complete and Sri Lanka’s barely credible white sand beaches, myriad ruins and Buddhist temples, and 16 national parks are ready once more to receive visitors. Sri Lanka author, Royston Ellis, has been ideally placed to update his insights on an island that has been his home for three decades. Whereas international news of Sri Lanka has been dominated by natural disaster and ethnic conflict, Ellis describes an island that should be headlined as a paradise and upon close examination be confirmed as the genuine article.
Cost £15.99 ISBN 978 1 84162 268 9 Publication – Out Now!
Zanzibar - Edition 7 – Chris McIntyre & Susan McIntyre
Though Zanzibar has long suffered the well-worn description ‘fabled spice island’, the three islands of Tanzania’s Indian Ocean archipelago are worth more than lazy prose. ‘Expanded and updated’ certainly describes the guidebook but thankfully not the destination. Chris and Susan McIntyre’s latest expert appreciation of the islands includes everything from beach barbecues to haute cuisine, an equally diverse range of accommodation, eco-tourism outfits and – for subaqua perspectives – reliable dive operators.
