<p>The Cascade Mountains - after which the region is named - run north from California to southern Canada and include two of the fastest-growing cities of North America: Seattle - in the United States - and Vancouver, British Columbia - on the Canadian side of the border. The views from either city are of mountains, snow-covered volcanic peaks, forests, and oceans. In the midst of these jewel-like settings are two vibrant cultural hubs, home to full-time symphonies, opera, ballet, and independent film companies - as well as flourishing youth cultures.<br>Photographer Morton Beebe leads us on a tour through the region, showing us the magnificence and variety of both the natural and urban worlds. He explores numerous intriguing corners of Cascadia to reveal the much-coveted life-style of the Pacific Northwest, which may become the future power center of the continent.<br>Beebe's stunning images meet their match in texts written by eight well-known regional writers who provide local history and insiders' folklore.</p>

To discover the best of Torridon, a remote and much-loved area of the Scottish Highlands, you need to be prepared to range over heather, grass, rock and marsh, without paths or waymarks. This guidebook will give you the confidence to do so, revealing all the best routes across the landscape. Walking in Torridon consists of 52 day walks of differing grades and characters including ascents of 9 Munros. The guidebook is divided into 3 sections, and describes routes for; easy walks, long and high level walks and mountain ascents over 2000ft. The latter section is divided into north and south sections in order to help with the confusion of the mountain names. The terrain differs in each walk, occasional black peat bogs, with miniature cliffs and sullen countenance, can look menacing, but they are easily circumnavigated and, in fact, are often quite hard. The climbs often involve descending again by the route of your ascent, which builds in a considerable safety factor if you are new to the area and also the comfort and pleasure of returning over familiar territory. This is never boring as the spectacular views are the opposite of what you have enjoyed going up.
