Puzzle

By: Mig,Franck Thilliez

Passionnés d'énigmes, enquêtes et autres chasses au trésor, Ilan et Chloé rêvent de participer au jeu ultime : Paranoïa. Un jeu dont tout le monde ignore les règles et la façon de commencer une partie, mais dont le vainqueur remportera 300 000 . Le jour où Chloé découvre une porte d'entrée, elle propose à Ilan de tenter l'aventure avec elle. Ils reçoivent rapidement la première règle du jeu : "Quoi qu'il arrive, rien de ce que vous allez vivre n'est la réalité. Il s'agit d'un jeu", suivie de la deuxième : "L'un d'entre vous va mourir". Quand les joueurs trouvent un premier cadavre, la distinction entre le jeu et le réel devient de plus en plus difficile à établir. La partie est lancée !

How Life Imitates Chess

By: Garry Kasparov,Mig Greengard

**DRAFT blurb only** Of all games of strategy, chess is the queen. Not even bridge has quite the kudos attached to chess; it is no coincidence that one of the central challenges of computer artificial intelligence has been to produce a program that is capable of defeating the best human players. A game of chess is a battle - a highly sophisticated one. Playing chess well involves taking best advantage of one's moments of advantage; analysing one's current position; realising that each game goes through a series of different phases which demand different strategies; an ability to see the board from the point of view of one's opponent; having a plan, yet retaining the flexibility to change it - just like life. Garry Kasparov's remarkable book shares with the reader what he has learnt about chess - and what he has learnt about life, through playing chess. It is an inspiring book - and a unique one.

Montserrat, Montseny and Sant Llorenç Del Munt i L'Obac Nature Parks

By: Nike Werstroh,Jacint Mig

The delights of Spain's Catalunya region are revealed in this new walking guide, which covers 32 graded walks of 6.5 to 28km across Montseny, Sant Llorenç del Munt I l-Obac, Montserrat and Penedès and Garraf - all within easy access of Barcelona. Walks are included for all abilities, from easy strolls to more demanding walks, and some of the walks are accessible by public transport. The guide provides detailed route descriptions, 1:50,000 mapping and a route summary table to help with choosing appropriate walks. All the walks are illustrated with stunning photos. A list of local campsites and other useful contacts is included at the back, plus notes on refreshment opportunities along the routes. There's also background information on local geology, wildlife and history, and planning details on when to go, where to stay and what to take. While the bustling city of Barcelona has always been a popular tourist destination, only an hour away the landscape is altogether different. From lush mountains to jagged peaks, famous vineyards to magnificent views, each natural park has a different landscape and walking is the best way to explore the region.

Trekking the Robert Louis Stevenson Trail

The GR70 through the Cevennes/Massif Central

By: Nike Werstroh,Jacint Mig

Robert Louis Stevenson's 'Travels with a donkey in the Cévennes' is a classic of travel literature. The GR70 long-distance trail is based on the author's route, allowing walkers to follow in the footsteps of Stevenson and his four-legged companion Modestine through the beautiful Cévennes region on the edge of France's Massif Central. The route is ideal for both first-time trekkers and more experienced hikers, covering around 272km of gently undulating countryside from Le-Puy-en-Velay to Alès. It can be completed in under a fortnight. The trail is presented in 12 stages of 16 to 30km, each with clear route description and mapping, an elevation profile, notes on local points of interest and a brief account of Robert Louis Stevenson's experiences on that section of the route. There is useful advice for planning your trip - including when to go, what to take and how to get there - and accommodation listings. Following drove roads, bridleways and footpaths, the GR70 showcases the landscapes of the Cévennes: wildflower meadows, rolling hills, chestnut woods, limestone gorges and meandering rivers. Characterful villages provide accommodation and other services and offer an opportunity to sample the delicious local produce. There are also glimpses into the region's fascinating history, from pre-historic burial sites to locations associated with the eighteenth-century Protestant Camisards who resisted religious persecution. While many things have undoubtedly changed since Stevenson's visit, the area retains its authentic rural charm and you will soon discover just why Stevenson found it so appealing.
