Morocco
In his new photo book, Fokion Zissiadis takes us on a visual journey through fascinating Morocco. Following his impressive publications on Iceland, Vietnam, and Greenland, he now presents an authentic and holistic view of a country that harmoniously combines scenic landscapes, rich history, and traditions. The book, splendidly equipped with a high-quality linen cover and exquisite paper change, not only offers fascinating content, but is also presented in a generous XXL format - a true work of art for any coffee table. Through exceptional photography, Zissiadis captures the ephemeral beauty of the historic ruins of Volubilis, the imposing colours of the "Blue City" of Chefchaouen and the vibrant dynamics of the markets in Fez, Had Draa and Rissani, among others. Zissiadis has developed a remarkable sense of space and aesthetics through his architectural studies in Philadelphia. In his book "Morocco", he succeeds in sensitively depicting the country's contrasts - from the tranquility of the desert to the vibrant atmosphere of the cities. His respectful approach to people and cultures lends this illustrated book a special authenticity.Experience the diversity and richness of Morocco through the lens of an artist dedicated to adventurous travel and true-to-life photography. This work is more than just an illustrated book - it is an invitation to capture the spirit of Morocco.
Sierra Leone
Thoroughly updated by a resident journalist, this new fourth edition of Bradt's Sierra Leone remains the only English-language guide dedicated to this unique West African destination, one of just three countries where the 羹ber-elusive pygmy hippo can be found. One of Africa's last 'hidden gems', where coastal mountains and secluded beaches are the stuff of daydreams, Sierra Leone lives up to its nickname of 'Sweet Salone'. This welcoming country offers much natural beauty and culture, yet remains unsullied by mass tourism. In many places, local people are happily surprised each time they get visitors, and strive to make your stay the best possible. The country continues to be one of West Africa's best beach destinations and trekking zones, the latter thanks to varied topography and the presence of Mount Bintumani, the region's highest peak. Then there's Ma Dengn (a new beach music festival); sanctuaries for rescued chimpanzees; tours of traditional wooden-board homes of the Krio people, descendants of repatriated slaves; and the significance of the UNESCO site of Bunce Island, a former slave-trading fort, as a destination for heritage tourism - particularly for the US-based diaspora. You can also visit the infamous diamond mines and rainforest-covered mountains; search some of the burgeoning ecotourist sites for those pygmy hippos, explore the transboundary 'peace park' of Gola Forest, shared with neighbouring Liberia, or simply relax on beach-blessed islands. The country has seen a heartening recovery since emerging from civil war and the subsequent Ebola outbreak. Following the COVID pandemic, there has been considerable investment in the tourism sector, which has resulted in a surge of new tour operators and hotels alongside improved roads connecting key towns - all of which is reflected in this fourth edition. Although the country's devastating past still informs many aspects of daily life, Sierra Leone is proudly back on the tourism map for the discerning, adventurous, beach-loving, jungle-exploring, mountain-scaling traveller, volunteer or international worker - and all those curious of heart. Offering significantly more coverage than any other guide, Bradt's Sierra Leone is the ideal travel companion to this up-and-coming African destination.
Vietnam
Brand new from Bradt is Vietnam, a travel guidebook celebrating this fascinating southeast Asian country, which combines 2,000 miles of coastline - with idyllic islands, golden beaches and fishing villages - with tropical rainforests, vibrant cities, stunning inland waterways, thousand-year-old temples, terraced paddy fields, herb-infused street food and a richly varied history. Little wonder that the country is increasingly on the wish list of discerning, independent travellers. Here you can cruise among the karst islands of Halong Bay, explore the forested mountains of the Central Highlands, go underground into the caves of Phong Nha or visit the tribal villages of Kon Tum. Alternatively, why not experience the French-style boulevards of Hanoi, the cobblestone streets of Hoi An or neighbourhood floating markets? Written by a long-term resident, Bradt's Vietnam not only covers the key tourist sites but casts a wider net to encompass lesser-explored alternatives and get under the skin of the country. Covering all three regions in Vietnam - north, central and south - this guidebook has responsible travel at its heart. Within the broad range of options suggested for sleeping and eating, what to do and where to go, particular attention is paid towards sustainability - identifying environmentally sensitive accommodation options, experiences contributing to the local economy, and retail outlets supporting traditions and certain communities. In Bradt's Vietnam, you can find: advice on how and when to engage with local people to deliver a poignant yet enriching travel experience that unpacks the Vietnam War; a rich exploration of the vibrant urban caf矇 culture (including where to savour each city's speciality coffee drinks); dedicated street-food sections for major urban areas; tips on how to enjoy unmissable sites while avoiding crowds; suggestions for getting the best out of motorbiking around the country; and insider knowledge about nightlife and cultural sights in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minch City, from speakeasy bars hidden behind bookshelves to boutique art spaces. Whether you want a taste of everything Vietnam offers, or prefer a deep dive into singular opportunities for heritage tourism, trekking, wildlife watching or caving, having Bradt's Vietnam to hand is like travelling with a knowledgeable local friend.

Tails from the Bushveld
Africa is a vast, exciting, varied - and at times, dangerous continent. It remains untamed in large parts and one of the few places left on Earth for those with an adventurous spirit. Richard Phillips, together with his wife Ann, has spent a lifetime in search of adventure across the continent. From the desert of the Namib to the delta of the Okavango, from seeking out the mystery of the giant kingfish that swim up the Mtentu River each year to perform their strange ritual, to becoming a millionaire and hitting the jackpot in Zimbabwe, Tails from the Bushveld is a book full of adventure. It is a story of charging elephants, being surrounded by monkeys, and seeing a 'UFO' - usually accompanied by a good glass of wine, and always with lots of friendship and humour. Tails of the Bushveld will excite, fascinate, and inspire the travel spirit inside you. But remember - there's always a twist in these tales.

The sheer size of the Philippines (it has over 7,000 islands) and its amazing diversity, with environments that range from stunning submarine coral reefs to rugged and overly-active volcanoes, with beaches, lakes, rivers and forests in between, plus lively modern cities with heritage Spanish buildings, make Exploring the Philippines the ideal travel companion

North Africa And The Desert Scenes And Moods
North Africa and the desert: Scenes and moods presents a meditative exploration of landscape, culture, and history across parts of North Africa. Blending travel narrative with cultural reflection, the author offers impressions of daily life, religious celebrations, architecture, and the natural environment. Through a series of loosely connected scenes, the work reflects on the contrast between the stillness of the desert and the vivid activity of urban life. Ancient history and spiritual traditions serve as a backdrop to contemporary observations, allowing for deeper reflection on the enduring influence of place. The book avoids a strict chronological structure, focusing instead on emotional responses, atmospheric details, and visual impressions. The author s engagement with the region is contemplative, often drawing attention to the subtle interactions between people and their surroundings. Through these observations, the book offers insight into how environment, history, and culture interweave to shape human experience. It is less concerned with documenting events and more intent on capturing the mood and essence of a region that leaves a lasting imprint on the traveler s imagination.
