Cet ouvrage est destiné aux Français adultes apprenant la langue anglaise dans le cadre de leurs études ou de leur travail. En effet, l'auteur a constaté qu'au lieu de pratiquer et réaliser des tâches de communication stimulantes, les apprenants français de l'anglais, quels que soient leurs niveaux, perdent leur temps de cours à réaliser des exercices de grammaire abrutissants, démotivants et mécaniques, tout en assimilant des listes sans fin de vocabulaire hors contexte. Ce livre a donc été écrit afin qu'ils puissent corriger cette erreur par eux-mêmes.À PROPOS DE L'AUTEURAprès 20 années d'expérience dans l'enseignement de l'anglais de la communication au sein d'universités et autres prestigieuses institutions de plusieurs pays, dont la France, Alan Kane met ses connaissances au service de tous ceux qui ressentent la frustration de ne pas pouvoir communiquer efficacement dans cette langue. Cet ancien fonctionnaire du British Council et Examinations officer pour Cambridge Assessment a également été consultant pour des organismes de formation en management. Avec son épouse, il gère à présent sa propre entreprise de support linguistique - 1-2-1 Business Solutions - basée en Drôme.

Having sold more than 40,000 copies of previous editions, this authoritative climbing guide has been completely revised, updated and redesigned for a whole new generation of mountaineers. The original edition of Scrambles in the Canadian Rockies, published by RMB in 1991, started a scrambling craze in the Canadian Rockies. No longer was reaching the top of those breathtaking peaks limited only to technical climbers; strong hikers with a sense of adventure found that they too could reach the top of many famous and stunning peaks. Armed with first-hand information, Alan Kane describes over 150 scrambles in a clear, concise format. This includes equipment needed, when to go, how to get there, where to park and what to expect as you work your way to the summit. Photos showing the ascent line complement descriptions that include historical trivia, origins of placenames and summit views. Routes range from off-trail hiking suitable for strong hikers to challenging routes at the low end of technical climbing where use of specific handholds is required on steep, airy terrain. Most ascents are day trips from a major road; many utilize a hiking trail on approach and include some of the most-photographed Rockies postcard peaks. The scramble areas begin in Waterton Park near the US border and continue north through Crowsnest, Kananaskis, Canmore and into the contiguous mountain parks of Banff, Yoho, Kootenay and Jasper. An overview of facilities, accommodation and climate is provided for each area. Specific hazards from rock quality to wildlife encounters are mentioned, including advice on scrambling safely. Guidebooks can be dry reading, but Kane's snippets of humour make the book entertaining as well as useful.
