Bob Gibbons Bücher

Blumenwiesen hoch in den Alpen, leuchtende Orchideen auf den Klippen Südportugals, blühende Wüsten in Südafrika – auf der ganzen Welt gibt es Blütenlandschaften, die einmalig sind und durch die Formen- und Farbenvielfalt ihrer Blumen betören. Dieses Buch zeigt die schönsten mit Wildblumen bewachsenen Plätze in der ganzen Welt. Neben botanischen Hotspots in Europa führen die Autoren durch faszinierende Landschaften in Afrika, Nord- und Südamerika, Asien und Australien. Mehr als 50 spannende Reisedestinationen für Pflanzenfreunde werden vorgestellt: Fantastische Bilder geben einen ersten Einblick, und Informationen zum natur-geschichtlichen Hintergrund der Attraktionen, zu der besten Reisezeit und zum Schutzstatus ergänzen die Landschaftsporträts.

This is the life of a born storyteller. From his small-town family that always stayed close to home, Bob Gibbons would eventually travel the country on corporate jets with CEOs, follow cowboys on a cattle drive in Wyoming, and, in a small airplane, chase alligators in the swamps south of New Orleans. He's arranged stars on Hollywood Boulevard and attended private movie premieres. He's worked with Disney Imagineers on a new theme park; he's spent an evening talking with Bob Newhart, won a short story writing contest, and written a movie that played in film festivals across the world. From all his adventures, he's returned with stories to tell-and they're in here-stories of the life he's led and the fun he's had beginning with the times he spent growing up on Oriole Street.

This guide is the definitive introduction to trekking around Manaslu and the Tsum Valley. Additional information covers Lower Manaslu and the adjacent Ganesh Himal / Ruby Valley. A brief outline of routes across the Lamjung area, linking Manaslu to Annapurna, is included. It may not have the aura of Everest or Annapurna, but the majestic mountain of Manaslu (8163m) has a remote charm that calls on all trekkers to discover the undiscovered. Lush forests, terraced hillsides, mysterious canyons, gargantuan summits and Buddhist culture are enticing. For so long beyond the horizon, the Tsum Valley is astonishing and secretive. Hilltop monasteries, traditional villages, colourful people, enigmatic yaks and hundreds of mani walls, chortens and kani gates add to the compulsive blend. Go soon to Manaslu and Tsum Valley!
