Walking in the Caucasus: Georgia [Paperback]

Nasmyth's excellent book.' - Sunday Telegraph

Remarkably, Georgia - no larger than Switzerland - ranks in the world's top twelve countries for geographical diversity. It contains the heart of the Caucasus mountains - larger and more dramatic than the Alps - subtropical wetlands, a Black Sea coast, semi-desert, all peppered with ancient stone towers and an exceptional history. But this walker's paradise remains virtually undiscovered. Peter Nasmyth has now provided the first comprehensive walker's guide, including birds, flora and fauna, to Europe's most diverse landscape. The book contains clear directions, excellent maps, GPS references, local history/contacts and a superb selection of colour photographs.

Peter Nasmyth is a writer, photographer and former arts journalist who has lived between Tbilisi and London for the last 18 years, and written two books on Georgia, where he sees the landscape as having inspired the country's cultural history.
