|  | Simple Guide to Nepal by Irene Sanderson, Sunil Kumar Jha
In the past decade, Nepal has drawn an increasing number of Western visitors for its sheer natural beauty, its extraordinary cultural history, its warm and courteous people, and its spectacular vistas -- offered up by nothing less than the Himalayas (known locally, and justifiably, as the thrones of the gods ). Celebrated as the last Hindu kingdom and birthplace of the Buddha, Nepal is as bewildering as it is enticing -- home to a dizzying number of ethnic groups (including the famous Sherpas) speaking more than 30 different languages. For travelers who might otherwise feel daunted, this concise guide lifts the veil on Nepal`s culture and mores, with essential advice on social occasions, business etiquette, getting out and about, the natural environment, the people and their language, and more. Also included is an invaluable list of words and phrases. AUTHOR: Irene Sanderson, Sunil Kumar Jha

 | Bartlett and the Ice Voyage by Andrew McLean, Odo Hirsch
The Queen is a very busy woman who rules over seven different kingdoms, some of which she has never even seen. Each kingdom is filled with its own exotic delights, and her loyal subjects constantly send her gifts from far and wide. But there is one fruit she craves--the melidrop--which, until now, has been out of her reach because it rots on the long journey from the far off country in which it grows. This is where Bartlett--the intrepid, stubborn, inventive and irreverent explorer--comes in! AUTHOR: Andrew McLean, Odo Hirsch
