PanARMENIAN.Net - An all-new edition of Armenia's best-selling travel
guide, The Stone Garden Travel Guide: Armenia and Karabakh, will be
published in February, according to The Armenian Reporter.
The new 320-page book contains updated and expanded information for
the 2013-14 tourist seasons and features 27 color maps and more than
140 color photographs.
A never-before published map of historic Armenia, which was created
shortly after the Genocide, is also featured in the book.
The Stone Garden Travel Guide is the first comprehensive guidebook to
Armenia and Karabakh, and is also the only guidebook for the region
that emphasizes conservation and ecology. The highly acclaimed book
is Award Finalist for Best Travel Guide by the Independent Publishers
Association.
CNN Traveller magazine calls the book "an excellent guide, written
with real passion for the subject." The book features maps from The
American University of Armenia's "Birds of Armenia Project," and
highlights conservation issues that confront Armenia, in addition to
covering all the information about cultural sites and getting around
that every traveler expects in a guidebook.
Author-photographer Matthew Karanian and photographer Robert Kurkjian
have each spent more than a decade living and working in Armenia while
researching and writing this and previous editions of the book. Each
of them first traveled to Armenia in 1995 to work as professors at
the American University of Armenia. Karanian is an attorney. Kurkjian
is an environmental scientist.
Their writing and photography about Armenia has also been featured in
magazines and newspapers of wide distribution in the U.S., Europe,
and Canada, including in CNN Traveller magazine, Arthur Frommer's
Budget Travel, Geographical, Global Adventure, Photo Life, and Photo
District News.
The new book will be available from Amazon.com and from select
bookstores in mid-February.
