Michael Buckley has been visiting and researching Tibet for more than 30 years and has a raft of books to his name. Thanks to his knowledge and expertise, Bradt's Tibet offers a more extensive language appendix than is found in other guidebooks, plus essential guidelines on cultural etiquette (including a special section on hand gestures to use), local customs and travelling with minimum impact on Tibet's culture and environment. There is also an appendix on fauna and an extensive list of recommended further resources, including books, music, films and even virtual realityExploring ethnic Tibet independently is a challenge. The 'land of snows' possesses the world's highest peaks (including Everest) and its deepest gorges as well as some of the wildest and roughest road routes in high Asia. Bradt's Tibet provides all the practical information you need to explore ethnic Tibet independently, whether motoring, mountain-biking or trekking. Tibet has always fascinated travellers and armchair travellers because it is so difficult to access due to its remoteness and extreme altitude. Now, under Chinese rule, Tibet is a sensitive destination for Westerners. Visitors needs all the information that they can lay their hands on-and this guidebook provides plenty. With flight routes and rail access to Tibet expanding, and new border crossings opening, Michael Buckley and Bradt's Tibet provide all of the information you need to make the most of a trip.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56312840749429,"sku":"9781784770655","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781784770655_3c8879fc-6c27-48ff-b60a-8d5351904400.jpg?v=1786025934"},{"product_id":"the-weirdies","title":"The Weirdies","description":"\u003cb\u003eFrom the bestselling author of the Sisters Grimm comes a hilarious tale of the Weirdie triplets—three VERY weird siblings—and their journey to find true family, perfect for fans of the Swifts and a Series of Unfortunate Events.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e​\u003c\/b\u003eTen-year-old triplets Barnacle, Melancholy, and Garlic Weirdie grew up in a town plagued by relentless meteor showers.
