Omschrijving
Algeria is bigger than Western Europe but the Sahara's landscapes are known to few. This book features photographs that depict Saharan landscapes' beauty, solitude and tranquillity. In the final section, it also proposes Protected Area status for a large area of Algeria's south eastern Sahara.
"'it's main selling point will be that it's by Tom Sheppard.' (Sam) 'I have had a chance to look over your latest book and think it'd be an excellent addition to our stock range. With just the two guides available, the odd fiction book and no travel literature of note, I'd certainly be happy to have an informed, anecdotal account of travel in the country available, especially one so strikingly illustrated; the landscape and scale of its features are extraordinary.... The final pages are a must-have... '(Alex) 'The photos are of course beautiful and appropriate.' (Jean) 'It hardly needs to be said, but I'm highly impressed by the design of the book - magnifique!' (Jon) 'I think the dummy book is tremendous.... Overall I think it is fascinating, and in places awe inspiring.... such a grand and worthwhile exercise...' (Simon)
During TOM SHEPPARD'S career in the Royal Air Force as a pilot and test pilot he planned, led and trained teams for numerous expeditions and operations - among them the first coast-to-coast crossing of the Sahara through the Mauritanian Empty Quarter for which he received the Royal Geographical Society's Ness Award. He has now totalled well over 100,000 overland miles on four and two wheels and has been a 4X4 owner for over 30 years. Between expeditions, he has worked for British Aerospace and been 4X4 consultant to a major international manufacturer. On this, the logistics and planning of expeditions he admits he is unlikely to ever stop learning.
