Rough Guides welcomes four more world-class cities into the new Pocket series. Each small-format, full-color city guide is the ideal companion for independent travelers on any budget. Pocket Rough Guides serve up all the key sights and best restaurants, shopping, and bars with Rough Guides' trademark eloquence and honesty. Whether you have an afternoon or a few days at your disposal, Pocket Rough Guides help the curious experience all they can. Divided by area for easy navigation, the Places section is the heart of the guides, with neighborhood-by-neighborhood descriptions complemented by listings of the must-see sights and our pick of the places to eat, drink, and dance. Each Pocket Rough Guide also includes a "Best of" section that captures the highlights of the city and tips travelers off to the most exciting and unique experiences. Carefully curated Itineraries help plan — and personalize — any trip, making the most of every moment. And, with the full-color detachable map tucked in the back cover, you can even ditch the guide and go stealth for an afternoon.

Can you live in two worlds at the same time? Maata has spent her life on the Arctic tundra, in a world of snow and ice. Her people, the Inuit, live a blissfully nomadic life, carrying all of their possessions on sleds, traveling with the seasons and the game. But one day a huge ship steams into their bay and forces her people onto it. They are taken to a Canadian government settlement camp, where there are incredible electric boats and houses with glass windows...and also alcohol and violence of a kind the Inuit have never known. Though her brother rebels and runs away, Maata realizes that in order to thrive in this new world, she must adapt to this new way of life. As she learns to read and write in English, she begins to keep a journal as she struggles to retain her traditional ways. However, when she is chosen to join a mapping expedition to her beloved homeland, she finds that all of her skills -- both from her Inuit and western educations -- become equally invaluable when tragedy strikes. In this remarkable story of courage, survival, and the power of language, Paul Sullivan brings the breathtakingly harsh Arctic landscape, and a breathtakingly determined girl, to life.

Willy Cockhead had to live with his name. So too did countless others lumbered with ridiculous monikers, safely hidden away in Oxford's records and censuses - until now.And what names! Some rhyme (Dick Thick), a few are odd (Silly Waters), others you have to say out loud (Rhoda Turtle) and some are just groan-worthy (Blenda Belcher).Uncovered by local author Paul Sullivan and accompanied with strange-but-true anecdotes, this entertaining volume of baffling, ill-thought-out and just plain rude examples champions the people and places of Oxfordshire that got saddled with the daftest of names.

<div>You'll find no pretty parades of princes or benevolent industrialists here. This is Deadly Derby, caught red handed--a city built by the Romans over the dead bodies of Britons; trashed, burned, and reinvented by the Vikings; bludgeoned into a Dark Age den of vice by the Saxons; razed once again by the Normans; and simmering with murder, slavery, wickedness, and profanity ever since. Heretics roasted throughout the sixteenth century; plague decimated the population at whim in the seventeenth century; and in the eighteenth a new form of malevolence arrived with slave-devouring factories and industrialists. Invading Scottish Jacobites in 1745 were the least of Derby's worries--murder and violent crime were riding high from the outset, and the city slums bred all imaginable forms of vice and desperation. All rounded off with heavy bombing in World War II. Welcome to the real Derby!</div>
