A comprehensive guidebook detailing walks in Germany's Bavarian Alps. Lying along the German-Austrian border in a thin sliver of land roughly 300km long, this area contains some of the most spectacular walking and beautiful scenery that Germany has to offer. 70 graded walks explore mountain landscapes, wild mountain gorges and alpine meadows as well as the region's picturesque villages, opulent baroque churches and fairy-tale castles like Neuschwanstein. There is also the northernmost glacier in the Alps (Blaueis), Germany's largest ice cave (Schellenberg) and its highest mountain, the Zugspitze, all visited on walks described in this guide. The walks are divided into six mountain areas, grouped around base towns to make planning a walking holiday as easy as possible. Bases include Oberstdorf, Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Mittenwald, Marquartstein, Inzell, Oberammergau and Ramsau among others. The walks are mainly between 3 and 8 hours in duration, though some longer walks are included staying at mountain huts. The guidebook gives an outline of two multi-day tours and suggestions for shorter valley walks of less than 3hrs are also included. The Bavarian Alps make an ideal destination for an easy-to-organise and affordable walking holiday.

This riveting work of investigative reporting and history exposes classified government projects to build gravity-defying aircraft--which have an uncanny resemblance to flying saucers. The atomic bomb was not the only project to occupy government scientists in the 1940s. Antigravity technology, originally spearheaded by scientists in Nazi Germany, was another high priority, one that still may be in effect today. Now for the first time, a reporter with an unprecedented access to key sources in the intelligence and military communities reveals suppressed evidence that tells the story of a quest for a discovery that could prove as powerful as the A-bomb. The Hunt for Zero Point explores the scientific speculation that a "zero point" of gravity exists in the universe and can be replicated here on Earth. The pressure to be the first nation to harness gravity is immense, as it means having the ability to build military planes of unlimited speed and range, along with the most deadly weaponry the world has ever seen. The ideal shape for a gravity-defying vehicle happens to be a perfect disk, making antigravity tests a possible explanation for the numerous UFO sightings of the past 50 years. Chronicling the origins of antigravity research in the world's most advanced research facility, which was operated by the Third Reich during World War II, The Hunt for Zero Point traces U.S. involvement in the project, beginning with the recruitment of former Nazi scientists after the war. Drawn from interviews with those involved with the research and who visited labs in Europe and the United States, The Hunt for Zero Point journeys to the heart of the twentieth century's most puzzling unexplained phenomena.

Naive, Irish and seventeen years old, Bridget Dowling fell in love with Adolf Hitler's dashing half-brother, Alois. They left Ireland to marry and settled in England, in Liverpool, in 1910. This revealing and intimate account of Bridget's relationship with the Hitler family makes fascinating reading. Adolf's 'missing year' is plausibly accounted for: in 1912 Alois and Bridget meet the future Fuhrer off the train at Liverpool's Lime Street station. He is dirty, disheveled and ill and is a difficult guest in their home for several months. Bridget's marriage breaks down and Alois disappears; at eighteen, their son, William Patrick, decides to renew contact with his German uncle. Tension builds up when he makes several visits to Germany, finally deciding to seek employment there from 'Uncle Adolf'. Bridget follows him to Berlin in 1937. Her meeting with the Fuhrer at his idyllic residence in the Bavarian alps show just how far the 'spineless' young man of 1912 has changed. How she, and later her son, manage to escape the watchful eyes of Adolf and his bodyguards, makes this a gripping adventure story. These Memoirs cast new light on Adolf Hitler and his immediate family, particularly his extraordinary relationship with his niece. The unusually informal photographs portray a new side of the Fuhrer.--Page 2 of cover.
