For the traveller who needs fully detailed maps, this series sets new standards in modern road cartography.

Travel Map Germany is an indexed, road map now available at the more detailed scale of 1:500 000. Also included is a map of the Ruhr at 1:300 000. Places of interest, including museums, monuments and religious sites are listed and accompanied by a wide range of pictorial symbols for instant recognition, these symbols have been colour coded by category. In addition to the road and rail networks, ferry routes and airports, this map provides an overview of the topography through the use of relief shading. National parks, nature reserves and restricted areas are clearly shown. Handy distance indicators, located in the margin, give distances to the nearest town, major locations and motorway junction, if applicable. Intermediate driving distances are shown on main roads. The extensive legend is shown in 4 languages.

Situated south of the Dead Sea, near the famous Nabatean capital of Petra, the Faynan region in Jordan contains the largest deposits of copper ore in the southern Levant. The Edom Lowlands Regional Archaeology Project (ELRAP) takes an anthropological-archaeology approach to the deep-time study of culture change in one of the Old World's most important locales for studying technological development. Using innovative digital tools for data recording, curation, analyses, and dissemination, the researchers focused on ancient mining and metallurgy as the subject of surveys and excavations related to the Iron Age (ca. 1200-500 BCE), when the first local, historical state-level societies appeared in this part of the eastern Mediterranean basin. This comprehensive and important volume challenges the current scholarly consensus concerning the emergence and historicity of the Iron Age polity of biblical Edom and some of its neighbors, such as ancient Israel. Excavations and radiometric dating establish a new chronology for Edom, adding almost 500 more years to the Iron Age, including key periods of biblical history when David, Solomon, and the Egyptian pharaoh Shoshenq I are alleged to have interacted with Edom. Included is a 7 gigabyte DVD with over 55,000 files of additional data and photographs from the project.

"This is a compilation of field excursions offered at the 2013 GSA North-Central Section held in Kalamazoo, Michigan. The field trips examine a range of geological time intervals and topics, from Silurian salt, to Cretaceous cosmic impact, to Quaternary glacial landscape formation, sand-dune development, and present-day coastal bluff erosion issues"--Provided by publisher.
