Afghanistan
New from Bradt is Afghanistan, the first travel guidebook to the country from a mainstream publisher in almost 20 years. Afghanistan is a paradox: a nation so well-known internationally, yet one so infrequently explored that it has been effectively untouched by tourism since being a key stop on the hippie trail four decades ago. The Indian subcontinent, the Middle East, China and the ex-USSR 'stans collide in Afghanistan. It is both the graveyard of empires and one of the world's most hospitable countries. From the searing deserts of the south to the high peaks of the Hindu Kush, any trip here is challenging - but one that is now eminently possible with the right preparation. Cue expert travel advice from Bradt's authorial team, comprising an adventure-tourism specialist and a prolific guidebook-writer who cover all the practicalities needed to travel securely and rewardingly - from how female travellers should best enjoy the country to where to stay in Kabul, the sprawling capital. Even the most well-travelled visitor will find their soul stirred and their blood pumping from spending time in Afghanistan. Visit iconic locations such as the Khyber Pass, the Minaret of Jam (14 hours' drive from the nearest paved road!) or the Buddha Niches of Bamian (even if the Taliban have destroyed the statues once found there). Go trekking with Kyrgyz nomads in the Pamir mountains. On the vast steppe, watch buzkashi, a sport where riders attempt to place a goat carcass in a goal. Stay in chaikhanas, communal tea houses that have changed little from the time of Silk Road traders. Enjoy Herat's Timurid architectural gems. Visit the shrine of Hazrat Ali, Afghanistan's pre-eminent pilgrimage site, in Mazar e Sharif. At Band e Amir, experience the country's first national park, and take a swan-shaped pedalo across the lapis lazuli blue waters of its lakes. Follow in the footsteps of Marco Polo in the Wakhan Corridor. Or hike among the forested peaks of Nuristan, where non-Afghan visitors so rarely tread. With Bradt's Afghanistan to inform and inspire you, the off-beat holiday of a lifetime beckons.

Waiting for the Rains
Waiting for the Rains is an autobiography of Roger J. Barton about life in Africa. He lived and worked in Malawi and Zambia from the 1970s onwards and has visited the continent over many years. The book is colour illustrated, and a quality production. It covers all facits of life and is suitable for both the academic and interested layman. It is divided into chapters covering separate topics. This includes the following: transport by bus, minibus, train, lake steamer, climate, rains and dry season, travel, living in isolated areas, dealing with beauacracy, crossing borders, insect and animal life, village life, working conditions, people and politics, expatriate life. All accessible separately and individually. There is enough information to enable any reader to feel they understand so much more about Africa. The description of the terrain and savannah landscapes makes you feel as though you have actually been there. The author travelled widely by bus, train, lake steamer, truck and even ordinary car. Countries covered include not only Malawi and Zambia where he worked, but South Africa, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Tanzania, Kenya and Ethiopia. The author was not like a foreign correspondent, flown in for short coverage. He was a contract based expatriate staying for several years at a time. Therefore always close to the people and observing them at work and play. While in Zambia the author was near to the conflicts raging in the local wars of independence. The material is documented while displaying a balanced commentary of events. Whether you want to feel the force of rain or the trauma of a minibus journey through one of the largest cities, it is all here.
