Books in the Best Kept Secrets series

Prague is a delightful destination for lovers of cobbled lanes and old-fashioned bars, tiny cafes and gorgeous, ancient architecture. The city of Alphonse Mucha houses vaulting gothic buildings, collections of modern art and, of course, the music of Dvorak in a breathtaking setting that leaps from every page of this new book.

From the arctic north, with its glittering sea ice and ethereal aurora borealis, to the lush forests and breathtaking fjordlands of the south, from the wind-battered coastlines of the Aleutian Islands to the sheltered bays of the Kodiak Archipelago, this book takes you on a pictorial journey through Alaska's most magnificent landscapes.

With a turbulent, divided history, Berlin has re-invented itself to become an eclectic mix of world-class museums and art galleries, hidden green spaces, heady nightlife, iconic landmarks and quirky neighbourhoods. Whether you need some inspiration for a forthcoming trip to Berlin, or are a dedicated armchair traveller, this is the book for you.
