This book was released on 2018-04-18 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Kennet and Avon Canal is made up of three historic waterways. The Kennet Navigation created a navigable link between Newbury and Reading in the early 18th Century. Shortly afterwards the Avon Navigation similarly linked the cities of Bath and Bristol. A 57 mile long artificial canal was constructed between 1794 and 1810 to join these two waterways. This provided a link from Bristol to Reading and then on to London, via the River Thames. At a time when road transport was costly, slow and unreliable, the UK's canals played a crucial role in unleashing the power of the industrial revolution. Huge social change followed, as the country transformed from a primarily agrarian economy, to become, for a while at least, the world's leading industrial power. With over 320 full colour photographs, "The Kennet and Avon Canal in pictures" starts by setting out the canal's context, including a brief history, before embarking on an end-to-end tour. This is followed by a selection of picturesque winter images, before finally looking at a selection of the wide range of flora and fauna, that can be seen and enjoyed along this waterway. With its rich and varied selection of images, the book makes an excellent souvenir for those who have experienced this quintessential English canal. It is a valuable planning aid for anyone preparing for a visit and an essential volume for all canal enthusiasts. 136 pages, 8.5 x 11"

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guidebook to walking along the Kennet & Avon Canal covers the 94 mile (152km) route from Reading to Bristol. The canal walk is split into 7 stages of fairly easy, level walking, of between 9.5 and 18.5 miles, with advice on splitting or shortening the stages if needed. The book also includes 20 easy circular walks, ranging from 4.25to 9 miles, taking in the best sections of the canal and visiting sites nearby, making this two guidebooks in one. Alongside OS map extracts and detailed route descriptions, there are plenty of details on the history, heritage and wildlife encountered along the way. An itinerary planner is included for walkers who want to create longer or shorter stages, and there is useful practical information including details on accessing the walks by public transport and a list of accommodation available along the route. The result is a highly useful and fascinating companion to exploring the canal and its surroundings. In the early 1800s the Kennet and Avon Canal provided an important direct trade route between London and Bristol. Today the waterway weaves its way through the rolling chalk contours of the North Wessex Downs to the southern edge of the Cotswolds, passing vibrant towns and cities as well as picture-postcard villages with thatched cottages, ancient churches and cosy pubs. Fascinating features - such as Crofton Pumping Station and Beam Engines, the impressive Caen Hill flight of locks at Devizes, the aqueducts at Avoncliff and Dundas, the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Georgian Bath and Bristol's vibrant Floating Harbour - are explored as the canal makes its journey across southern England.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story in Ratip’s debut novel revolves around the struggle of Turan Akova, who is a world-renowned pianist-composer, to prevent and eventually eliminate the extraterrestrial devil’s plans to dominate the world in a shocking and most audacious way. This is a heart-pounding suspense thriller with gruelling intensity. A monumentally scary and chillingly tense story. Italian poet Tasso’s words best describe Turan Akova, the hero of this novel: ‘Is it possible to transform a raging, devastating, destroying hurricane into a morning breeze, a mad sea into a charming lake, and lightning into a rose? I am speaking of the Turk. The Turk who is like a ruthless hurricane, a terrific sea, and a merciless lightning when attacking his enemy, is a morning breeze, and a clear lake with his friends or when facing a disarmed enemy. To change this charming breeze into a hurricane, this resplendent blue lake into a horrid sea, this rose with its fragrance of nobility to lightning would be indeed a blunder that would offend Nature itself...”
