Product Description
Our new 2nd edition of Walk! Lanzarote builds on the reputation of our 1st edition with more walks and comprehensive updating so that it caters for the needs of the increasing number of people who would like to combine some walking with a holiday on the 'Fire' island. Our 2009 research included walking every day, confirming and updating routes from the 1st edition and finding new routes to be included in the 2nd edition. Walk! Lanzarote explodes the myth that there is nowhere worth walking on the island as we range through strolling on coastal promenades, walking across 'alpine' style meadows (yes, really), striding over the lava sea, dropping into volcanoes, sitting on 'high mountain seats' - quite simply you will be amazed at the wide variety of stunning landscapes the 'Fire' island has to offer the adventurous leisure walker. Lanzarote is all good news for walkers. Coastal routes have been completed or improved, none more than our Coastal Discovery from Puerto del Carmen. Our new routes include extending our Pena del Rubicon route across the coastal desert to overlook Las Salinas and on to La Hoya bus stop from where we can bus back to Playa Blanca.Completely new are Barranco Malpaso from Haria, Caldera Blanca, and Montana Corona; all of them must do routes for Lanzarote afficionados and new visitors alike.Walk! Lanzarote is produced to our highest standards with walk summary and rating, fully detailed description, frequent timings so you can check your progress, compass directions, and gps waypoints for all country routes. Each country route has full 1:40,000 scale colour mapping and gps waypoints dedicated to that route, while our Teguise town walk uses a large scale street plan. All routes are illustrated with colour photos. Culture and agriculture are included along with a 'Thingy' section on modern art, including new 'Thingys' discovered during our research plus a well known artist producing works in the 'Thingy' mould! We've taken advice and have substantially increased the 'Access by Bus' sections for each walk and include extensive bus information. Quite simply the best book of Lanzarote that you can buy - that's what we said of the 1st edition, but now the best book just got a whole lot better. ... Read more

Product Description
Lanzarote Tour & Trail Map 2nd edition Map-Paper versionA" covers this big island at a scale of 1:40,000 resulting in the most detailed and toughest map of Lanzarote that you can buy. All the country walking routes from our newWalk! Lanzarote2nd editionA" (published August 2009) are clearly detailed. Detailed updating for the 2nd edition includes mapping Puerto del Carmen's new golf course and inner bypass, Playa Blanca's urban/incomplete development, as well as the new walking routes. We have also included a full island map of La Graciosa at 1:40,000 scale for those people adventuring or staying on the island.Getting such a large island onto one map sheet at 1:40,000 scale means that we have had to split the island into a North-East section on one side and a South-West section on the other side, with a generous overlap between the sections. At 1:40,000 scale the level of detail we can include on the map is awesome compared to any other map of the island that you can buy. In addition to the usual high level of detail on our Tour & Trail Maps we have introduced special Lava fills to define the lava fields and a Zocos fill to define the famous La Geria region.The result is the definitive map of Lanzarote. Our Map-Paper version is printed on top quality map paper by Britain's top map printer. If you require a tougher map then consider acquiring our Super-Durable version. ... Read more

3-0 out of 5 stars an okay book
Although this book was not as interesting as many of Cronin's other books(The Citadel, The Green Years, etc.), it was pretty good. It tells the story of a doctor accused of malpractice who went on a cruise in the canaryislands to calm down and escape publicity. On the boat, he meets the young,beautiful, Mary Fielding, and they obviously fall in love. He is latergiven a chance to save her life and be the wonderful doctor he always was.The plot is rather boring and predicatable, but the characterization isexcellent. All the people he meets on the boat are very interesting andthat is the strong point of the book. I recomend this book to anyone whohas enjoyed Cronin's other book, but don't expect anything too wonderful.

3-0 out of 5 stars A departure less exotic than simply odd
The change of scene novel seemed to be a staple among the mainstream novelists of the 1930s and 1940s, particularly those who hovered, as Cronin did, in the nether regions between the merely popular novelist and the"literary" novelist.In Grand Canary, we see some of the stockdevices of Cronin novels--a driven young doctor, the caustic impact ofpassion, the struggle for redemption.Yet, instead of the outward strugglethrough medical school and inward struggles amid doubt, Catholicism andProtestantism which usually informs a Cronin novel, we are here exposed toa trip to the Canary Islands.This is rather a stark contrast from theIrish and English scenes more familiar to Cronin readers, and the book'satmospherics seek to invoke a certain "other-island-worldiness". One cannot help but note that Graham Greene and Evelyn Waugh in this erawere both using exotic locale as a canvass for resolution of a spiritualinward conflict, and it is quite safe to say that this is nowhere near assatisfying in evoking an exotic place as, say, Greene's Power and theGlory.But for those of us who enjoy a Cronin novel, such academicdiscussion is of secondary importance--the real question is whether thenovel is a good read.The answer is simple: Cronin's use of locale andcertain "mystical" elements detracts from the reader's interestin his characters.We have precognitive dreams, yellow fever, destinedencounters of newly enchanted lovers, a missionary gone astray in a firstexposure to the pleasures of the flesh, and the victim of unrequited lovemartyring herself in the name of familial duty.It's all rather like aparody of a Somerset Maugham tropical clime short story, except that wehave Cronin's idiosyncratic faith-based vision rather than Maugham'sskepticism putting the puppets through their paces.The novel is by nomeans a bad read--some of the characters are quite intriguing, if a bit"set piece" in design.But the plot devices and cardboard sideplayers are less than we expect from Cronin, and perhaps less than weexpect from ourselves when we seek out light fiction to read. ...

4-0 out of 5 stars I Don't Know If That's Good or Bad

Who doesn't know what is?

The author, Dave Hughes, ruminating as to whether the addition of a new fly that caused him to exceed the capacity of his beloved single small stream box is or isn't beneficial.

Seeing that this is how Trout from Small Streams ends, the reader is left pondering a question that takes on an almost existential significance.

I don't know if that's good or bad.

This time it's me, the reviewer, wondering if this fly fishing business doesn't tend to become just a bit heavier than it ought to or needs to be. Or perhaps I'm just reacting to the devilish complexity of it all...

Anyway, Hughes has written a generally pleasant, if at times overly weighty tome on the particular attractions of smallish fish in modest waters. In a competitive world where, more often than not, size really does matter, there's something refreshingly counterintuitive about this.

While the title, "Trout from Small Streams" suggests that the fish have the center stage, in fact, they are of secondary importance; the book is really an exposition of intricate technique as to how to catch them. At times this can become quite esoteric as in the following discussions of leaders: "Next in importance are spare tippet spools in 3X, 4X, 5X, and 6X, along with a couple of store-bought leaders 7 ½ feet long tapered to 3X. That gives me the options of fishing a stout 3X leader about length of the rod I carry, for size 8 and 10 flies, or, far more often, adding a 2-foot tippet of 4X and fishing a leader just that much longer than the rod I use on small streams, for size 12 and 14 flies".

Sometimes Hughes gets a bit carried away as in this description of experimenting with a simple yarn indicator for nymph fishing, "I merely stripped a few feet of line from the reel, drew it out beyond the rod tip, held the hook while I danced a bit of line into the air above the gravel, like a snake charmer elevates a cobra, then flicked the rod towards the upstream end of the pool and let the fly go at the same time".

If, at this moment, you find yourself with bated breath on the edge of your chair, then you can be sure this book's for you.

3-0 out of 5 stars Nothing new here
I think this book is well written but there really is not anything new here.The conclusion of the book is pretty simple.There are fish in thise hills and the are not that selective but you have to approach carefully.So if you are expecting to get a lot of new information abot trout fishing it is not in this book. Most likely will confirm what you already know.

4-0 out of 5 stars A Nice Little Book
I really enjoyed this book and found it be informative, but written in a non technical and casual style that makes for easy reading. I do recommend the book to others because it is so well written, however where it fails is in the lack of photographs. Dave Hughes is also a very successful photographer so why not include some photos of the beautiful places he has fished and of the large trout he has taken from some of these streams? Adding some nice colour photos would have made this book a ten out ten for me.

5-0 out of 5 stars Not for everyone.That's not bad.
Dave Hughes is one of the most versatile, and best, writers in the fly fishing field.When he writes for beginners he explains the basics clearly without insulting the reader's intelligence.When writing about more advanced techniques he does so as someone who's been where you are.This book is one of the latter.If you are an absolute neophyte or if you are the type of person who learns best from photos, charts and diagrams, this book is probably not for you.Inside the jacket there is not a single photo or illustration to be found.But, if you already know the basic casts and knots and you appreciate clear, cogent prose and you wish to fish streams that hardly ever see another angler, there are precious gems to be mined here.The author doesn't make specific recommendations about equipment or techniques for you.Instead, he gives you a glimpse into what has and hasn't worked for him in the hope that you can learn from his experiences.Small streams usually don't yield record size trout, but the challenges of fishing flies on tight, brush lined flows make every fish you capture (and hopefully release) a trophy. When you've determined that you must get "up close and personal" with the trout in all those those no-name streams that most fisherman barely take notice of in their daily travels this book will give you a realistic assessment of the obstacles and rewards you should expect.More important, it introduces you to some methods that should help you to overcome those obstacles, thereby increasing your chances of success.

5-0 out of 5 stars SIMPLY A GREAT BOOK
This is a awesome book for anyone who loves to fish small waters or is thinking they might want to start. It is written in a very personal style and you can learn through the authors lessons as you will your own.
Great information about types of flies to use and how to use them, recommendations on how to carryyour gear, what type of flies to carry, rod types and actions msot suitable and so on and so forth. One of the best books I have read, and is in my top two on the subject of flyfishing small streams. ... Read more

Product Description

The first landings in the Atlantic World generated striking and terrifying impressions of unknown peoples who were entirely foreign to anything in European explorers’ experience. From the first recorded encounters with the native inhabitants of the Canary Islands in 1341 to Columbus's explorations in 1492 and Cabral's discovery of Brazil in 1500, western Europeans struggled to make sense of the existence of the peoples they met. Were they Adam's children, of a common lineage with the peoples of the Old World, or were they a separate creation, the monstrous races of medieval legend? Should they govern themselves? Did they have the right to be free? Did they know God? Could they know God?

Emphasizing contact between peoples rather than the discovery of lands, and using archaeological findings as well as eyewitness accounts, David Abulafia explores the social lives of the New World inhabitants, the motivations and tensions of the first transactions with Europeans, and the swift transmutation of wonder to vicious exploitation. Lucid, readable, and scrupulously researched, this is a work of humane engagement with a period in which a tragically violent standard was set for European conquest across the world.
