ANDES
by MICHAEL JACOBS
Dawning at the Carribbean and reaching down towards the South Pole, the Andes mountain range is 5,500 miles long and stretches across seven countries. Its diverse climates and contrasting scenery has attracted many travellers. Michael Jacobs follows in their footsteps, beginning with Simón Bolívar's 19th-century path through Venezuala. Combining his experiences with travel-writing from the past, he reveals the history, science and myths of the region and its peoples in this engaging, polymathic account.

DAVID GENTLEMAN'S LONDON
by DAVID GENTLEMAN
Always delightful, often witty and sometimes hard-hitting, David Gentleman represents a London that is at once monumental and transitory. Trafalgar Square and St Paul's Cathedral loom magnificent as do the usually by-passed glass offices of the City. Gentleman's eye also focuses on the sleepers under Hungerford Bridge, the anti-war protesters in Hyde Park and the tourists talking to policemen outside Buckingham Palace. As you will see in the reproductions throughout our catalogue, this is London in its manifold glories.
