作者简介

　　Like almost every other Lonely Planet author he knows, Neilfell into the guidebook-writing business by accident. Having fledthe rat race of the oil industry only four years after graduatingas a geologist, he returned to university to do postgraduateresearch. But academia turned out to be just as dull andconstricting as industry, so like any sane person he decided togive it all up to be a penniless freelance writer. The pennilessbit was easy. On the writing side, Neil got a foot in the doorproducing articles on history and culture for a Scottish magazine,while attending a business course and sleeping on a friend'ssettee. The friend's flatmate just happened to be an editor with aguidebook publisher in Glasgow. Neil submitted a portfolio of histravel photos and smarmed his way through an interview, and nextthing he knew he was off to photograph Corfu for a guidebook. Thatwas 1988; since then Neil has written and photographed around 45guidebooks for several publishers, including HarperCollins, AAPublishing, Berlitz and Lonely Planet. He has written or cowrittenaround 20 guides for Lonely Planet, specialising in twogeographical regions, the UK and Ireland (Edinburgh, Scotland andIreland) and Eastern Europe (Prague, Czech Slovak Republics,Poland and Eastern Europe), and has also worked on the firsteditions of the Lonely Planet guides to Georgia, Armenia Azerbaijan, Malta and Brittany In addition to travel guides, Neilhas written several nonfiction books, including Great Sea Disastersand the SAS Guide to Tracking Navigation (but no, he wasnever in the SAS!), contributed a series of articles on geology andgeography to school textbooks and encyclopedias, and had articlespublished in various Scottish newspapers and magazines. He enjoyslearning new languages and can hold a conversation in French, goshopping in Turkish, and get by in Czech, Spanish, Italian, German,Portuguese, Norwegian and Russian. Neil has been an outdoorsenthusiast since childhood and is still an active hill-walker,mountain-biker, sailor, paraglider, snowboarder, and rock-climber.He has climbed and tramped in four continents, including ascents ofJebel Toubkal in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco, Mount Kinabalu innorthern Borneo, the Old Man of Hoy in Scotland's Orkney Islandsand the Northwest Face of Half Dome in California's YosemiteValley.

<p>　　Like almost every other Lonely Planet author he knows, Neil
fell into the guidebook-writing business by accident. Having fled
the rat race of the oil industry only four years after graduating
as a geologist, he returned to university to do postgraduate
research. But academia turned out to be just as dull and
constricting as industry, so like any sane person he decided to
give it all up to be a penniless freelance writer. The penniless
bit was easy. On the writing side, Neil got a foot in the door
producing articles on history and culture for a Scottish magazine,
while attending a business course and sleeping on a friend's
settee. The friend's flatmate just happened to be an editor with a
guidebook publisher in Glasgow. Neil submitted a portfolio of his
travel photos and smarmed his way through an interview, and next
thing he knew he was off to photograph Corfu for a guidebook. That
was 1988; since then Neil has written and photographed around 45
guidebooks for several publishers, including HarperCollins, AA
Publishing, Berlitz and Lonely Planet. He has written or cowritten
around 20 guides for Lonely Planet, specialising in two
geographical regions, the UK and Ireland (Edinburgh, Scotland and
Ireland) and Eastern Europe (Prague, Czech & Slovak Republics,
Poland and Eastern Europe), and has also worked on the first
editions of the Lonely Planet guides to Georgia, Armenia &
Azerbaijan, Malta and Brittany In addition to travel guides, Neil
has written several nonfiction books, including Great Sea Disasters
and the SAS Guide to Tracking & Navigation (but no, he was
never in the SAS!), contributed a series of articles on geology and
geography to school textbooks and encyclopedias, and had articles
published in various Scottish newspapers and magazines. He enjoys
learning new languages and can hold a conversation in French, go
shopping in Turkish, and get by in Czech, Spanish, Italian, German,
Portuguese, Norwegian and Russian. Neil has been an outdoors
enthusiast since childhood and is still an active hill-walker,
mountain-biker, sailor, paraglider, snowboarder, and rock-climber.
He has climbed and tramped in four continents, including ascents of
Jebel Toubkal in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco, Mount Kinabalu in
northern Borneo, the Old Man of Hoy in Scotland's Orkney Islands
and the Northwest Face of Half Dome in California's Yosemite
Valley. Neil was born in Glasgow, Scotland, but defected to the
east at the age of 18 and still lives in Edinburgh. Neil's
favourite place: Wherever he happens to be headed at the time. Best
travel tip: Always take half as much gear and twice as much money
as you think you'll need.</p>
