A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Mark Elliott's CV is as straight as the Karakoram Highway. He's danced rain dances in a Gambian village, been interrogated by the KGB in Azerbaijan, and nibbled chocolate strawberries with two US presidents. He's been visiting Azerbaijan regularly for the last ten years and has driven, hiked, ridden, and hitched back into virtually every corner of the country to research the third edition of this guide. He is the author of "Asia Overland" and "South East Asia" (also from Trailblazer), "Culture Shock Belgium" (Culture Shock), and "Russia" (Lonely Planet).

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

Perched beside the oil-rich Caspian Sea, compact, hospitable Azerbaijan is astounding in its scenic variety. Painted moonscape deserts, snow-capped Caucasian peaks, subtropical forests and flower-filled grasslands all lie within a few hours' drive of Baku, the artistically vibrant, cosmopolitan capital with its UNESCO-recognized walled Old City.
Since the first edition in 1999 this map-packed book has become the definitive guide for visitors and residents alike. Now in its expanded and fully-updated third edition it's more practical than ever.
Inside you will find: practical information about Visas, getting to Azerbaijan, where to stay, and where to eat; discover bubbling mud volcanoes, linguistically-unique stepped villages, ruined castles, a flaming hillside and fire-temple, iron-wood forests, water that "catches fire", "magical" rocks kissed smooth by superstitious wish-seekers. On foot, by car, 4WD, bus, train or horse be among the first tourists to explore delightful Azerbaijan since Noah sailed across the country 5000 years ago, his Ark carving a great gash through Nakhchivan's Snake Mountain; over 190 maps, illustrated with over 160 sketches and diagrams. As well as showing hotels, restaurants, bus stops, etc. these maps also include landmarks at key unsigned junctions to help motorists and hikers; history, language and cultural tips; excursions to neighboring Georgia.
