New editions for 2014
Iran 4th Edition. Patricia Baker & Hilary Smith
Perhaps not at the top of many travel wish lists, Iran is nonetheless a beguiling country with much to offer the discerning traveller. Surprising ski slopes, the bazaars of Esfahan and the ruins of ancient Persepolis combine to create a sensory experience quite unlike any other. Travel in Iran is not straightforward but the rewards offered far outweigh any inconvenience.
Bradt’s Iran contains more up-to-date information on the country’s historical sites than any other guide on the market. This expanded fourth edition has detailed sections on red tape, visas and tour operators as well as showcasing Iran’s best spots for divers and hikers. Originally written by Patricia Baker, who sadly died in 2008, this new edition was updated by Maria Oleynik who studied Persian at the university in Esfahan.

Sri Lanka 5th Edition. Royston Ellis
The teardrop-shaped island of Sri Lanka offers a surprising mix of holiday experiences. Outwardly the quintessential tropical paradise, the country also offers a lively cosmopolitan scene, superb wildlife watching and ancient ruins in Polonnaruwa and Anuradhapura, in addition to the truly spectacular beaches and coastline.
This fifth edition of Bradt’s Sri Lanka offers the most comprehensive guide to the island nation, which expects to receive 2.5 million visitors in 2016. Filled with local tips and tricks, such as finding little-known temples and country guesthouses, it is an indispensable handbook written by an expert author. Royston Ellis is a travel writer and Sri Lanka resident for over 30 years and is also the author of Bradt’s Maldives guide and co-author of Mauritius, Rodrigues and Reunion.

Uruguay 2nd Edition. Tim Burford
Culturally distinct from neighbouring Argentina and Brazil, Uruguay is a destination deserving further exploration. Home to dramatic scenery, such as the canyon at Quebrada de los Cuervos, and exceptional wildlife along the banks of the Rio Uruguay, Uruguay offers all South America’s attractions in a safe and travel-friendly package.
With improving air and rails links, Uruguay is now increasingly accessible and its capital Montevideo received three times as many cruise ships in 2012 compared to five years previous. Bradt’s Uruguay remains the most detailed English guide to the country with in-depth sections on the origins of Uruguay’s unique music and dance cultures as well as the latest practical information. Tim Burford has written ten guides for Bradt and is an advocate of ‘slow travel’. When not travelling in South America he can also be found leading hiking trips in Europe’s mountains.
