Bob Gibbons Book order

This is the life of a born storyteller. From his small-town family that always stayed close to home, Bob Gibbons would eventually travel the country on corporate jets with CEOs, follow cowboys on a cattle drive in Wyoming, and, in a small airplane, chase alligators in the swamps south of New Orleans. He's arranged stars on Hollywood Boulevard and attended private movie premieres. He's worked with Disney Imagineers on a new theme park; he's spent an evening talking with Bob Newhart, won a short story writing contest, and written a movie that played in film festivals across the world. From all his adventures, he's returned with stories to tell-and they're in here-stories of the life he's led and the fun he's had beginning with the times he spent growing up on Oriole Street.

A first-time paperback edition of this popular title. From the Mojave Desert in the USA to the Italian Dolomites, and from South Africa's Cape National Park to the Stirling Ranges of Australia, this book showcases the most spectacular displays of wild blooms on the planet. Each site account begins with a locator map and info panel detailing timing, key species etc. This is followed by an informative and readable account by the expert author (who has personally visited nearly all of the sites covered) accompanied by a handful of stunning images of each location showing off the displays of flowers. In addition there are chapters on the animal life that can be found at these sites, and on the conservation status of the locations covered in the book. Many people travel widely in search of spectacular displays of flowers, but are guided only by word-of-mouth information, or by what organised tours are available. This book sets out to rectify this gap. However, it aims to be much more: the most 'flowery' places in the world are exceptionally spectacular at their best, and the beautiful photography in the book allows a broad audience to enjoy these sights without even leaving the house.

This guide is the definitive introduction to trekking around Manaslu and the Tsum Valley. Additional information covers Lower Manaslu and the adjacent Ganesh Himal / Ruby Valley. A brief outline of routes across the Lamjung area, linking Manaslu to Annapurna, is included. It may not have the aura of Everest or Annapurna, but the majestic mountain of Manaslu (8163m) has a remote charm that calls on all trekkers to discover the undiscovered. Lush forests, terraced hillsides, mysterious canyons, gargantuan summits and Buddhist culture are enticing. For so long beyond the horizon, the Tsum Valley is astonishing and secretive. Hilltop monasteries, traditional villages, colourful people, enigmatic yaks and hundreds of mani walls, chortens and kani gates add to the compulsive blend. Go soon to Manaslu and Tsum Valley!
