80 Islands to escape to... and live happily ever after TEXT BY JASMINA TRIFONI

KEY SELLING POINTS 80 islands specially chosen for their mild climate, stupendous seas, varied landscapes and particular elements of charm For each island, a detailed map and diagram with information such as nationality, language, currency, distance from the coast A rich descriptive text in which the author, a journalist specializing in travel and tourism, captures the island’s most glamorous sides and highlights features making it a special place

True as it may be, as the poet John Donne said, that "No man is an island," it is equally true that for Man, an island – in the philosophical sense, as well as the geographical – symbolizes the ultimate escape destination for a dream vacation or the dream of a lifetime on holiday, far away from everything and everybody. This book indulges this innate desire in all of us. The islands selected from the five continents have a common denominator: the beauty of the sea, a mild climate and the fact that together they offer a variety of landscapes, cultures and sensations that can satisfy any desire. From the Mediterranean to the Indian Ocean, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, via the Caribbean, this “inventory for dreamers” features, in words and stunning images, famous locations renowned for their luxury and worldliness, secret hideaways where one can live like Robinson Crusoe even in the 21st century, places that are rich in history and others where the only distraction is the music of nature. In short, a book that is an irresistible invitation to travel, even if it is just with your imagination.

JASMINA TRIFONI was born in 1966 and graduated with a degree in Political Sciences at the University of Padua. She is a journalist who specializes in the sphere of tourism. For 10 years she worked in the editing department of Meridiani. She now works as a freelance journalist and contributes to the major Italian magazines in the field. Together with Marco Cattaneo, she is the author of Afghanistan: le donne, la guerra, l’Islam (2001), published by Emergency. She has also written the three volumes on - I Tesori dell’Arte (2002), I Santuari della Natura (2003) and Antiche Civiltà (2004) from the Unesco World Heritage List as well as Città del Mondo (2005), all published by White Star. She is a traveler both by profession and by vocation and has gained considerable ethnic and cultural experience, particularly in India, the countries of Southeast Asia and the Middle East.

The Treasures of Angkor TEXT BY MARILIA ALBANESE Few places in the world are as fascinating as Angkor, the heart of the immense Khmer empire that flourished in Indochina from the 9th to the 13th century and is today a magnificent archaeological park. The Khmer kings were skillful and warlike rulers who, drawing inspiration from the Indian concepts of regality and from the local cults of spirits and deified ancestors, built monumental pyramid temples as reproductions and representations of the mythical cosmic mountain, Meru. What is more, every temple was reflected in a large pool that served the practical purpose of a reservoir and the symbolic function of a representation of the primeval ocean. The result was a liquid checkerboard dotted with temples, wooden buildings and bamboo huts and swarming with markets, carts, dugout canoes, animals and people. The only remains of Angkor, the great capital city consisting of numerous urban areas that rose up over the centuries, are its temples, invaded by luxuriant vegetation. The plant world has regained possession of what were once human settlements, bursting through the stones in a suffocating maze of branches and lianas; indeed, the presence of this greenery adds to the ineffable artistic beauty of the Angkor temples a magical atmosphere of distant times and remote worlds.

MARILIA ALBANESE lives and works in Milan, where she was born in 1953. She is the director of the Lombardy Section of the Istituto Italiano per l’Africa e l’Oriente (Italian Institute of Africa and the Orient). She has also carried out research in several other parts of Asia and is active in seminars, lectures and counseling regarding Indian culture. She has travelled throughout the world and has specialized in travel themes and destinations. As a freelance journalist, she collaborates with numerous national newspapers and magazines. Albanese has written articles, papers, essays and documentary texts and books.

GBP 25,00

The region around the North Pole is one of the largest natural areas on earth, a unique plant and animal world and the habitat of impressive peoples. And yet, the eternal ice is melting. The consequences of climate change and ruthless exploitation are advancing more quickly here than they do elsewhere. The largely visible consequences of this development include the receding of the sea ice, the melting of glaciers and the thawing of regions covered by permafrost soils. Even if it is not yet possible to gauge what this will mean for the Arctic, we must expect severe consequences for the Arctic and indeed the entire planet. This book aims to create a picture of the enchanting world of polar bears and northern lights and the challenging life of the Nordic people, to document the fascination of the Arctic and allow readers to experience the treasures of this landscape. It is also a strong appeal to pause for reflection, and to put an end to this unique region’s destruction, which is currently being caused by the oil and fishing industries and by global climate change. The Arctic is of extreme importance for the climate stability of the entire planet and therefore must be protected.

BERND RÖMMELT has worked as a freelance photographer and author since completing his degree in ethnology. He has travelled throughout the north for over twelve years. In addition to the countries of the Polar Circle, the Alps and the area surrounding his hometown Munich forms the focus of his work. His publications include The Inside Passage. Along the Wild Pacific Coast from Seattle to Alaska (2008).

DR THOMAS HENNINGSEN is a marine biologist and has worked on behalf of Greenpeace for over 15 years as a campaign coordinator for forest, ocean and climate protection. He has led many national and international campaigns and projects including the development of the International Arctic campaign, which emphasises the global importance of the Arctic as a living environment and as one of our planet’s most important climate engines.

Mont Blanc Discovery and Conquest of the Giant of the Alps TEXT BY STEFANO ARDITO

KEY SELLING POINTS Over 130 pages devoted to the ascents of Mont Blanc, climbs that have made mountaineering history 386 images, including color and black-and-white photographs, drawings, images, advertising posters Chronology of the climbs, illustrated by photographs and access itineraries Completely updated edition, with 16 new pages and a new format

With its nearly 5,000 m of altitude, its glaciers, its walls of red granite, Mont Blanc is one of the most spectacular natural monuments of the Old Continent. Begun during the Age of Enlightenment with the first attempts to climb the 4,810 m peak, the climbing history of this mountain continued with the ascent by Jacques Balmat and Michel-Gabriel Paccard to the top in 1786. It continued with the sagas of Edward Whymper and other great climbers of the mid-19th century, the adventures on rock and ice of the famous Italian, French, and Swiss guides during the years of the Belle Époque, with the adventurous ascents “without guides” of the 20th century, with the extraordinary open itineraries over rock and ice during the period between the two World Wars. The 1930s saw the race to the “last great walls” by legendary characters such as Riccardo Cassin and Pierre Allain. The period after World War II saw extraordinary climbers such as Walter Bonatti and René Desmaison in the limelight. Today, the grand exploits of champions such as Christophe Profit, Michel Piola and Patrick Gabarrou are seen beside the lesser-known adventures of thousands of climbers coming from every corner of the earth. The story and pictures of the ascents of the greatest mountaineers of all times are an exciting encounter for the shrewdest reader-mountaineer, as well as for those approaching the magic of high altitudes for the first time. A description of the seven valleys crowning the giant and an illustrated chronology of over two centuries of undertakings on Mont Blanc complete the book.

STEFANO ARDITO, hiker, journalist and photographer, author of documentaries and program host for RAI, has written some 50 books on mountains, many of which are dedicated to Mont Blanc and nearby peaks. He is one of the founders of Mountain Wilderness as well as one of the creators of Sentiero Italia, the trekking itinerary that runs through all the Italian mountains. For Edizioni White Star, he has produced the volumes Cime di Gloria, Trekking nelle Alpi, Trekking in Himalaya, and Trekking in Africa.

Libya An Ancient Country looks towards the Future TEXT BY GIORGIO GALANTI If the earth and sand could conserve the imprints of the passing conquerors, the soil of Libya would never cease revealing its traces of forgotten epics. But what do we truly know about Libya beyond the megalomaniac figure of Colonel Gadaffi?

We must not forget that this vast desert region bordered by Algeria, Chad, and Egypt is a an enchanting beauty: ruins of ancient cities; cave paintings that bear witness to a fertile age in the middle of the desert of Fezzan, where millennia ago a now-vanished civilization once flourished; magical landscapes of the region of the great lakes; Ghadames, one of the most ancient cities in the world and an oasis located on the Spice Route; the Tuareg, nomadic lords whose culture is still alive.

This richly illustrated book presents an introduction framing the country in terms of geography, landscape and socio-cultural aspects. It also includes a chapter on the history of Libya from antiquity to present day, embracing even the most recent events regarding the Civil War. This volume offers a look at a country and a people who aspire to nothing more than to live in peace and with dignity.

GIORGIO GALANTI is a freelance journalist and contributes to many Italian periodicals and newspapers. He has traveled all over the world and is a specialist on travel themes and locations.

The volume describes the pre-Columbian cultures that developed in central and northern Mexico, from the fertile areas of the Oaxaca Valley and the Valley of Mexico to the great deserts of the north. In chronological order, the text presents the native cultures, from the earliest farming villages to the establishment of great states and urban civilizations such as Teotihuacán and Monte Albán. The enormous ethnic and linguistic melting pot culminated in the Aztec civilization; this profusely illustrated book examines its historical events, moving from the mythical original migration into the Valley of Mexico to the political and cultural zenith.

In-depth looks at specific topics such as the Aztec calendar, religion, society and political organization are inserted into the historical narration, adding variety to the book’s chronological approach. Based on the latest research and targeting a broad readership, this book is straightforward and easy to understand, yet is distinguished by its excellent scholarship. The result is an extraordinary historical and cultural tableau that conveys the full appeal these populations have long held for Western readers.

The volume is dedicated to the Olmec and the Maya, the two main Mesoamerican civilizations that developed in the tropical regions, the “green heart” of the southeast. The sequence of the chapters allows readers to follow the cultural development of the tropical regions in chronological order, commencing with the Olmec chiefdoms; it then moves on to investigate the extraordinary development of the Maya city states of the Classic Period, which represent the artistic treasures of the southern forests. General themes such as art, religion, ball playing, writing and calendars are discussed in the text, thus varying and lightening its strictly historical and chronological approach. Written for non-specialist readers, the book uses clear and easily understandable language. It presents the Olmec and Maya civilizations in the light of the most recent discoveries and interpretations, striving to counter the perpetuation of old clichés that, even now, hinder a full understanding of the dynamic cultural and political events of these distant lands.

From obscure Neolithic pastoral village to “capital of the world,” the history of ancient Rome is not merely one of the most incredible adventures of mankind, but constitutes the start of an uninterrupted “bridge” between the dawn of Italic civilization and the modern West. In its 1200 years of existence, the city founded on the values established by Romulus’ patres, has expanded and diversified its influence incessantly and in all spheres, progressively absorbing peoples and customs, ideas, techniques and beliefs. This journey to the origins of the present is a pictorial representation of the development of the Roman world in the light of the historical, urbanistic, architectural and artistic aspects that characterized the main periods of this extraordinary civilization, from its formative years to the crisis of the 5th century BC, following the conquests of Rome: the Italian peninsula, the Mediterranean and the Hellenic East. A vast iconography, consisting of photographs, reconstructions and plans, accompanies the text, written by an acknowledged authority in the field of Italic archaeology, which helps to clarify the dynamics of the exceptional development of the Roman world.

MARIA TERESA GUAITOLI is a researcher in classical archaeology at the Archaeology Department (Faculty of Literature and Philosophy) of the University of Bologna and a course lecturer in Archaeological Museology. She has participated in numerous archaeological excavations, covering periods from protohistory to the Middle Ages, collaborating with the Archaeological Superintendency of Emilia Romagna, Veneto and Puglia. As well as monitoring the Department of Archaeology’s projects in Italy and abroad, she has organized numerous exhibitions within the Department and at theBuonconsiglio Castle in Trento. Her most recent books include Lost Cities of the Ancient World, White Star Publishers 2002.

The volume outlines the evolution and development of one of the most splendid and long-lived civilizations of the entire Asian continent. The narrative and related images in the volume guide the reader from the birth of the Khmer civilization, through the first uncertain steps amongst the small and restless Khmer tribes, forced to endure the rule of larger and stronger powers, to the birth of the empire and then to its glory and decadence. A journey six centuries long, interspersed with great events and dramatic figures, but also with incredible architectural masterpieces scattered in the forests and countryside of Cambodia and parts of Thailand, Laos and Vietnam, structures for many centuries almost lost to memory. Presenting both the classic vision of this civilization and also the latest theories about it, this volume is aimed at those who wish to learn the essential facts of Khmer history and culture, stripped of platitudes and romantic visions, in clear language that both tells a story and includes incisive anecdotes.

STEFANO VECCHIA graduated in Japanese Language and Literature at the University of Turin, and subsequently earned a diploma in oriental languages and culture at the Italian Institute for Africa and the East (IsIAO). He has worked as a professional journalist since 1990, and has divided his time between journalistic work in Italy and trips to Asia, where he is currently a correspondent for Italian publications. He has been chief editor of the magazine Popoli, published in Milan, and has been the director of the Milanbased magazine Quaderni Asiatici (Asian Notebooks) and manager of the Asia News agency, the first Italian agency reporting only on Asian lands and people. Stefano Vecchia’s numerous reports and special photo shoots, published in a variety of journals, are the result of tireless travel and intense professional activity. In 2006 he contributed articles about Japanese and South-East Asian art for “The Great Story of Art” series, published by the newspaper Il Sole 24 Ore; and in 2007 he completed guides to Bali and Japan.
