Sicily is the largest island in the Mediterranean and long a Mecca for culture freaks. Sicily also rewards the countryside lover with its magnificent landscapes. Peter Amann knows the island intimately; he leads walking groups on Sicily and works for the preservation of its national monuments. As an alternative to the stress of simply 'doing' all the sites, he invites you to savour the landscape at leisure. Thus there is enough material in this book for several holidays. The eight car tours (mostly circular and covering 2000km) follow little-used secondary roads wherever possible and, while taking in all the major sights and sites, also allow motorists to see landscapes well off the beaten track. A fold-out touring map shows all the car touring routes. The walks - a distillation of the best on the island - are as varied in length and grade as the landscape itself; there are routes to suit all ages and abilities. Most of the walks are along old farming tracks, stone-laid mule trails and shepherds' paths. Each is accompanied by an up-to-date topographical map, but the author also suggests where you can find other maps, many of which are available free. Finally, for those who like al fresco dining, there is also a selection of picnic suggestions - ranging from 'official' sites with barbecues to idyllic spots near walking routes.

Sicily: Landscapes of, a countryside guide (Landscapes Series)

Sicily is the largest island in the Mediterranean and long a Mecca for culture freaks. The island also rewards the countryside lover with magnificent landscapes. Peter Amann knows the island intimately; he leads walking groups and works for the preservation of its national monuments. As an alternative to the stress of simply 'doing' all the sites, he invites you to savour the landscape at leisure. Thus there is enough material in this book for several holidays. The eight car tours (mostly circular and covering 2000km in all) follow little-used roads wherever possible and, while taking in all the major sights and sites, also visit landscapes well off the beaten track. Hints are given for places to stay en route. The walks - a distillation of the best on the island - are as varied in length and grade as the landscape itself; there are 41 routes to suit all ages and abilities, and all have suggested variations. Most of the walks are along old farming tracks, stone-laid mule trails and shepherds' paths. The 27 picnic suggestions can be reached after a very short walk and are especially suitable for really hot days and those with young children.

Das vorliegende Buch ist bewusst kompakt gehalten und verzichtet weitgehend auf Doppelspurigkeiten und Redundanz. Die Gliederung ist übersichtlich und der Inhalt auf Anwendbarkeit angelegt, wobei Tabellen und ausgearbeitete Beispiele nützlich sind und der Kontrolle des Verständnisses des Lesers dienen sollen. Bodenmechanik wird als die Wissenschaft vom (mechanischen) Verhalten der Lockergsteine verstanden, während Grundbau die darauf beruhenden baulichen Schlussfolgerungen des Ingenieurs - und natürlich auch der Ingenieurin - subsummiert, die dem Problem angemessen erscheinen. Die Autoren vermeiden ganz bewusst jede weitere Trennung des Inhaltes in Bodenmechanik (schon gar ‘theoretische Bodenmechanik’ !) und Grundbau , weil eine solche Trennung weder sinnvoll noch zielführend ist, wenn es - wie in diesem Buch - um Praxis- und Anwendungs-orientierten Ausbildungskonzepte geht, die nicht nur für Studierende des Bauingenieurwesens angelegt , sondern auch in der Praxis des Tiefbaues gefragt sind. Die Autoren betrachten den Inhalt des Buches nach wie vor (und vor allem auch unabhängig von allen Veränderungen und Bezeichnungen der Studiengänge und -Abschlüsse) als die Basis, die jeder universitär gebildete Bauingenieur auf dem Gebiet Bodenmechanik/Grundbau beherrschen sollte und auf welche sich weiterführende Lehrveranstaltungen abstützen können. Da Normen wenig zum Vertändnis des Sachgebietes beitragen können, ist das Buch weitgehend ‘normenfrei’. Deshalb kann das Buch in allen Ländern gebraucht werden.
