Paperback. Etat : Very Good. "Four-By-Four Driving" is an all-new book - now well-established - based around the sell-out editions of "Off-Roader Driving" and "The Land Rover Experience". The new title reflects a slight change in target readership to include the 'busy mum' 'soft-roader' drivers and those needing advice on what to look for when buying a 4X4. It addresses the often unnecessary bells and whistles with which they are equipped, the obfuscating brand naming and plethora of TLAs (three letter acronyms).There is clarification of the multiplicity of 4X4 systems -'.the most important Section in the whole book.' - even for those who never go off road. The book pulls no punches in its examination of current design foibles, poor ergonomics, technophobic journalists, marketing, and sales people.It includes a uniquely incisive and straightforward analysis of the dynamics of trailer towing - a role for which many 4X4s are purchased.A large proportion of the book is devoted to a step-by-step look at all aspects of using a 4X4 off-road - safely and non-damagingly. For novices, it takes the mystique out of off-roading not only with its content and diagram but with its comprehensive glossary. For professionals it offers valuable techniques and rarely seen advice. The book has been selected by Land Rover for The Land Rover Experience driving school in the UK and the US.Recent bulk purchasers include a US distributor and the Royal Geographical Society.It has an Expedition Basics section with invaluable information on tyres, fuels, oils, loading and water filtration. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

Hardback. Etat : New. Michael Palin, President of the Royal Geographical Society wrote of the author, in his book "Sahara": 'Tom Sheppard, doyen of the desert.' '.a passion.for this part of the Algerian desert'; '.quick, elfin-like energy'; '.boyish.'. Sheppard's passion, sense of wonder and energy show through in this book. Algeria is bigger than Western Europe but the Sahara's landscapes are known to few. This book is a hymn to their beauty and pristine majesty. No mere picture book, it is a personal account with a strong message at the end. To get the feel of Algeria there is first a little on the non-wilderness - the places against which to compare the majesty of the remote areas: the towns, settlements, people, the transport. And the weather, water, trees - the tools that create, nurture and perfect the wonder of the wild places. The author travelled alone, many miles off known tracks - six solo expeditions over an eight year period, and many before; in solitude, awe, wonder and supreme contentment. His defence of and passion for this unspoiled environment is matched by his passion to protect it. It features superb photography and the highest print and production standards.Buzz Aldrin, the second man to set foot on the moon, exclaimed 'Magnificent desolation!' when he stepped down from the lunar lander. He would have been moved by the Algerian Sahara. But desolation is not the ideal word for this majestic, pristine wilderness. Such raw, dignified landscape touches a nerve in all who encounter it - especially, and ideally, if they are alone to savour the solitude without distraction. Such rare good fortune was Tom Sheppard's in journeys and explorations most recently spanning eight years in Algeria's remotest regions. Many years' desert expeditioning preceded these journeys - years in which the magical combination of landscape and light became embedded in his very soul. The success of Sheppard's recent book "Quiet for a Tuesday", the story of his 2006 trip in which the confiscation of his maps and satellite images led to a carefully considered but challenging 700-mile off-tracks sector without either, has led to this book - following on from the acclaimed photography illustrating the earlier publication.Here, whilst eschewing the ungainly proportions and over-enlargement too often associated with books of this type, full rein is given to the breathtaking scenery the Algerian Sahara has to offer. Sheppard, in a sensitive and well-reasoned final section, has proposed Protected Area status for a large area of Algeria's south eastern Sahara. We have gone to exceptional trouble in the printing standards and binding of this book - super-fine, stochastic ('screenless') printing and, exceptionally, sewn 12-page sections to facilitate lie-flat when viewing the many double-page spreads. The photography that depicts Saharan landscapes' beauty, solitude and tranquillity - the very core of the book and the author's motivation in making his solo desert expeditions ove.…
