Get in the van and hit the open road for a weekend, a vacation or a long haul across the continent. What it's like and what it takes. The Getaways shows how creativity and ingenuity can turn vans into a cozy home on the move: from the cozily minimalist to rustic charms and design icons. Take an overlander onto the snow-covered roads in the Arctic Circle, drive a converted school bus around the African continent, work between your surf sessions from rugged coastlines, take your family on a journey that creates lasting memories. This book is about a nomadic way of life that redefines mobility, and about the vehicles that enable it.

Responsible hospitality connects to rural communities and creates lasting impressions. Travel ennobles the spirit and puts away with prejudices- Oscar Wilde- Travel is evolving, ever more aware of reducing its environmental impact. The next step is a kind of experience that revives rural areas in a sustainable way. A growing number of hospitality venues use only local craftspeople, celebrate local skills and produce, and reinvigorate the land around them. Visitors here are more than guests, they are in direct contact with a whole culture and help strengthen the bonds within the community. In Slow Escapes, sustainable tourism expert Clara le Fort introduces converted monasteries, transformed windmills, and many other enchanting places around the world, that embrace slow living and breathe new life into a region. This book shows us how travel can be a saving grace for the long term. It is for everybody who wishes to be more than a mere consumer of place.

Discover the devotional practice of wave riding through an atlas of fabled and iconic surf locations from around the world. Surfing is a way of life. It is communion with place. Living with and by the tides, surfers are attuned to the environment. They experience the sea at all seasons, learn the movements of the ocean, feel the moods of the break. To surf is to be at one with nature, in an intimacy that imbues any spot with a certain magic. An atlas of stories and surf breaks, Surf Atlas celebrates both the practice and the places of surfing. Explore the world's most unique, unusual, and most-loved surf destinations--from catching waves under the northern lights in Iceland and trekking across the Arctic tundra in Russia in search of the perfect break, to the best waves in California and riding monsters at Mavericks. This book moves beyond sunshine and palm trees to get to the heart of a way of life that is in communion with nature and place.

Discover some of the world's most awe-inspiring and holy places, from Stonehenge to Uluru, and Walden Pond to Angkor Wat. Humans have always searched for and created meaning in the world around them, whether in breathtakingly stunning natural features and phenomena, acknowledging the ancient home of a particular faith or movement, or honouring the location of a significant event. In this beautifully illustrated guide, Alice Peck discusses what makes a place spiritual - whether reaches of time, geography, the provision of sustenance or inspiration, or mystery and magic - and then explores 80 such locations around the globe. Rather than a comprehensive travel guide, the description of each one includes a detail or tip - something beautiful, strange, relatively unknown or unfamiliar - to allow readers to deepen their focus and perhaps experience the place in a different way than they might expect. If you are unable to travel at this time, this book will help you plan your next adventure. And if you are trying to limit your carbon footprint, each destination is accompanied by a related meditation, prayer, practice or quotation to help you connect to the spirit of it from your own home.

„Rusko je hádanka v nitru záhady zahalená rouškou tajemství. Ale možná k ní existuje klíč. Tím klíčem je ruský národní zájem.“ Tak charakterizoval Rusko Winston Churchill. Tento atlas podrobně komplexně popisuje dnešní Rusko. Díky více než 100 mapám a infografikám získáte podrobný přehled o ruské společnosti, ekonomice i armádě, o zásadních silných i slabých stránkách země. Zvláštní důraz je kladen na pochopení specifické ruské identity a na ruské aktivity v zahraničí. V knize najdete například odpovědi na otázky: Jaké jsou tradičně slabé stránky ruského obra? Jak se žije v současném Rusku a o co se opírá dnešní ruský režim? Jakým způsobem Rusko prosazuje své zájmy ve světě? Jaké jsou jeho vztahy se sousedy, NATO, Evropskou unií a Spojenými státy americkými? Atlas je členěn do 2 částí: 1. Síla Ruska: ruská historická paměť, nerostné bohatství, letecká, kosmická a jaderná velmoc 2. Geopolitické zájmy Ruska: vojenská síla, konfliktní oblasti, strategická partnerství, vztaky se sousedy a dalšími zeměmi, názory na uskupení (EU, NATO). Pro Rusko spadá ovládnutí jeho blízkého zahraničí do „sféry jeho privilegovaných zájmů“. Diplomatická sbližování s loajálními spojenci (například Kazachstán), udržování vztahů se státy otevřenými Západu (jako je „proamerický, ale ne protiruský“ Ázerbájdžán) a také hledání reverzních aliancí na úkor Spojených států jsou zásadní. Atlas se snaží podat všechny odpovědi přehledně, jasně a objektivně, popisuje strategie Ruska ve vysoké hře velmocí. Fakta doplňují podrobné barevné mapy a poutavá infografika. Věříme, že kniha všechny zájemce o tuto problematiku opravdu zaujme.

Rooms of Their Own travels around the world examining the unique spaces, habits and rituals in which famous writers created their most notable works. The perennial question asked of all authors is, 'How do you write?'. What do they require of their room or desk? Do they have favourite pens, paper or typewriters? And have they found the perfect daily routine to channel their creativity? Crossing centuries, continents and genres, Alex Johnson has pooled 50 of the best writers and transports you to the heart of their writing rooms - from attics and studies to billiard rooms and bathtubs. Discover the ins and outs of how each great writer penned their famous texts, and the routines and habits they perfected. Meet authors who rely on silence and seclusion and those who need people, music and whisky. Meet novelists who travel half-way across the world to a luxury writing retreat, and others who just need an empty shed at the bottom of the garden. Some are particular about pencils, inks, paper and typewriters, and some will scribble on anything - including the furniture. But whether they write in the library or in cars, under trees, private islands, hotel rooms or towers - each of these stories confirms that there is no 'best way' to write. From James Baldwin, writing in the small hours of the morning in his Paris apartment, to DH Lawrence writing at the foot of a towering Ponderosa pine tree, to the Bronte sisters managing in a crowded co-working space, this book takes us into the lives of some of history's greatest ever writers, with each writing space illustrated in evocative watercolour by James Oses. In looking at the working lives of our favourite authors, bibliophiles will be transported to other worlds, aspiring writers will find inspiration and literature fans will gain deeper insight into their most-loved authors.

The Alps are Europe's biggest and greatest mountain range. Formed millions of years ago, they became a popular destination for travelers in the late eighteenth century - first for adventurers and explorers, then for artists and writers, and finally for everyone who wanted to spend summer in the fresh air of this wonderful scenery or take part in winter sports. Angelika Taschen has followed in their footsteps and collected the finest hotels in the Alpine nations of Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, and Italy. They include the Kranzbach near Garmisch-Partenkirchen, built for a British aristocrat, Gasthof Hirschen in the Bregenzerwald, where art-loving visitors have been welcomed since 1755, and the Seehof near Salzburg with its emphasis on contemporary art and fine cuisine. The journey goes to Waldhaus Sils in Sils Maria, where many creative guests have found inspiration, to the Schatzalp in Davos, which Thomas Mann immortalized in literature in "The Magic Mountain", and to picturesque bed & breakfasts with a personal touch such as Brucke49 in Vals and Maison Bergdorf in Interlaken. High above Chamonix, mountaineers have stayed overnight for more than 140 years at Refuge du Montenvers with its view of the Mer de Glace, the largest glacier in France. In the exclusive Megeve, too, which Baroness Noemie de Rothschild put on the tourist map, travelers experience the Alps a la francaise in the chalet hotel L'Alpaga; and a bit of Italian dolce vita is provided by stunning addresses in the South Tyrol such as the Ottmangut in Merano, Villa Arnica in Lana with its nostalgic atmosphere, and Pension Briol near Barbiano, constructed in 1928 in the Bauhaus style and extended in 2021 with the addition of two extremely modern buildings. This opulent book of photographs presents the Alpine range and accommodation in large-format images, short texts, and useful details on prices and how to get there. Walkers, skiers, gourmets, and lovers of good living will find valuable tips and very special accommodation: former monasteries where guests still find peace and seclusion, a mountain hut at the heart of the Dolomites, and a youth hostel occupying what was once a sanatorium, a rare example of modern architecture in Switzerland that was declared a heritage monument in 2002.

One of the least-known places on the planet, the only continent on earth with no indigenous population, Antarctica is a world apart. From a leading cartographer with the British Antarctic Survey, this new collection of maps and data reveals Antarctica as we have never seen it before. This is not just a book of traditional maps. It measures everything from the thickness of ice beneath our feet to the direction of ice flows. It maps volcanic lakes, mountain ranges the size of the Alps and gorges longer than the Grand Canyon, all hidden beneath the ice. It shows us how air bubbles trapped in ice tell us what the earth's atmosphere was like 750,000 years ago, proving the effects of greenhouse gases. Colonies of emperor penguins abound around the coastline, and the journeys of individual seals around the continent and down to the sea bed in search of food have been intricately tracked and mapped. Twenty-nine nations have research stations in Antarctica and their unique architecture is laid out here, along with the challenges of surviving in Antarctica'sunforgiving environment. Antarctica is also the frontier of our fight against climate change. If its ice melts, it will swamp almost every coastal city in the world. Antarctic Atlas illustrates the harsh beauty and magic of this mysterious continent, and shows how, far from being abstract, it has direct relevance to us all.
