From Cairo to Cape Town. In and out of Africa with National Geographic

Encompassing the best of National Geographic’s pioneering photographs of Africa, this is the definitive visual expedition through the world’s most captivating continent. Adapted from our Around the World in 125 Years and with over 40 mesmerizing new images of spectacular landscapes, bustling cities, local customs, and wildlife photography, this volume brings to life Africa’s boundless beauty and diversity.

For over five generations, National Geographic magazine has dazzled and educated people with its incredible photographs and gripping stories from all corners of the earth. Inspired by our monumental Around the World in 125 Years, this volume curates around 200 captivating images sourced directly from the National Geographic historical archives, including 40 new photographs, that traverse the landscapes, history, cultures, and wildlife of Africa.

Our continental journey through amazing Africa ranges from evocative early black-and-white pictures to autochromes, from the golden age of Kodachromes to digital. Along the way, we fly over the misty volcanoes of Uganda in a 1950s plane; follow archaeologists into the cool, musky tombs of Egypt; gaze up at the gleaming skyscrapers of Zimbabwe; admire the ritual masks of the Chokwe tribesmen of Angola; get lost in a labyrinth of alleys and souks in Algeria’s old quarters; wonder at the fragile red-tufted flowers of South Africa’s Drakensberg mountains; trudge behind Kenyan farmers as they battle clouds of flying locusts; and gingerly spy mountain gorillas enjoying the Rwandan sunshine.

Long before the Travel Channel and Google Images, these images celebrated Africa’s spectacular landscapes, incredible wildlife, and diversity — but also reflect edgier stories that speak of rural hardship, environmental threats, and the lasting remnants of forced colonization. Leaving no stone unturned, this definitive voyage is in equal parts a breathtaking homage to an incomparable continent, and a unique tribute to the world’s most famous photography magazine.

From Iceland to Italy. Europe photographed by the best

This is the ultimate photographic journey through Europe as told by the world’s favourite magazine. Adapted from our monumental Around the World in 125 Years and featuring over 200 captivating images from National Geographic magazine’s archives, these visual treasures explore the beauty, complexity, the variety, the historic cities, and the picturesque landscapes of magnificent Europe.

For over five generations, National Geographic magazine has dazzled and educated its readers with incredible photography and gripping stories spanning the four corners of the earth and the deepest oceans. Inspired by our monumental Around the World in 125 Years, this volume curates over 200 captivating images, sourced directly from the National Geographic historical archives, including almost 40 new photographs. Traversing travel, history, culture, social documentary, and conservation, this compendium is in equal parts a breathtaking homage to the spirit and diversity of Europe, and a unique tribute to the world’s most famous photography magazine.

National Geographic pioneered the aesthetic of the photo essay, while continually pushing the medium's technical boundaries, to both entertain and enlighten its millions of loyal readers. Our trans-continental journey through time and space spans across all corners of Europe, from the snow-capped peaks of Finland to the frothy foam parties of Ibiza, from the serene blue waters of the Greek Islands to the Lascaux cave paintings of Southern France. We witness the hair-rising eruption of Surtsey in Iceland, where lightning rips through the volcano’s clouds in otherworldly hues of purple; lose ourselves among flowers and babushka-wrapped heads in Russia’s Volgograd marketplace; and tread carefully behind climbers across a crevasse in the Bernese Oberland. Along the way, we absorb the culture of some of the world’s greatest cities including Paris, Rome, Berlin, London, Vienna, Stockholm, Moscow, and many others.

National Geographic: Europe leaves no stone unturned in its ultimate voyage through the precious jewels and hidden facets of the European continent. From evocative early black-and-white pictures to autochromes, from the golden age of Kodachromes to digital, this is both a celebration of the power of photography and a unique trip to the soul of Europe.

Paris For Food Lovers is the foodie's guide for those looking for the new, the exciting and the different in Parisian cuisine.

With over 120 recommendations for food, drink & beyond, mainly in the culturally unique 11th arrondisement (with a few in the 12, 18, 19 & 20), it will guide you to the 'nouvelle nouvelle cuisine', all across the cutting edge food scene of Paris. Instead of the traditional stuffy famous French bistro, follow your tastebuds to the best market stalls, the tastiest and cheapest oysters, restaurants in alleys, and bars in the cellar. 

Each entry's review gives you the location, contact details, ordering recommendations, recommendations for other places to visit in Paris from the chefs, and key information like whether its a sharing menu or when to arrive to avoid the crowds. Breakout sections give you info on things like the best way to orientate yourself in Paris, and how to correctly order beer & wine.

Chapters are organised by what kind of day and night out in Paris you want: feel like barhopping up the hill of the shabby chic Rue Oberkampf? Or exploring the eerie Père-Lachaise cemetery and finding the best food nearby?

Paris For Food Lovers has you covered, with a cross-section of the coolest food spots in Paris, from the budget friendly to the iconic (as long as they're serving interesting food). It covers all the places Hemingway didn’t drink at.

The world’s most visited city, Paris is a place of fable and fantasy, of elegant boulevards and masterpiece-packed museums; but it's also a vibrant, fascinatingly real city, exploding with youthful energy and fresh ideas.

With Paris Pocket Precincts, explore Paris as the Parisians do: share an apéro at a canal-side wine bar, discover local artisan shops selling everything from perfume to porcelain, lingerie to luggage and dance the night away in hidden basement clubs to up-and-coming DJs. In a compact, light paperback format perfect for slipping into your back pocket, this is your curated guide to the city’s most interesting cultural, shopping, eating and drinking experiences. Divided into separate precincts, each section lists the best shops, restaurants, bars and sights to see in the area.

The precincts that the guide covers are: Le Premier, 1st; Sentier, Montorgueil & Bourse, 2nd; The Marais & the Islands, 3rd & 4th; Left Bank, 5th, 6th, 13th & 15th;  Eiffel Tower, Champs-Élysées, 7th, 8th & 16th; Pigalle & Opéra, 9th; Canal Saint-Martin & République, 10th; Bastille, Oberkampf & Aligre, 11th & 12th; Montmartre, Château Rouge & Barbés, 18th; Belleville, Ménilmontant & Villette, 19th & 20th.

As well as detailed reviews and maps for major attractions through to hidden gems, the guide includes a selection of 'field trips' encouraging you to venture further afield to Versailles, Champagne and Lyon.

Rewild: Stories and Inspiration for the Modern Adventurer is a beautiful collection of stories, images and camping tips that will inspire you to rediscover the rejuvenating power of the outdoors.

At the start of the book, you will find a how-to guide with helpful tips and illustrations, from how to choose and set up camp to brewing the perfect campfire coffee and enjoying the outdoors without leaving a trace. This is followed by compelling accounts from everyday adventurers, including a number of new stories for this edition. These essays come from people all around the world who've embraced the outdoors on their terms. Some have gone on epic adventures: sold their belongings and lived in a van, trekked through the Himalayas or biked across continents. Others simply found new ways of seeing the world around them: cleaned up a beach, learned how to forage or adopted a rewilding lifestyle.

This is a book that encourages you to leave behind the stress of the 9-to-5 grind, and embrace the simple pleasures found in the pounding waves, a roaring campfire or a star-filled sky. Its message is that nature can transform your life, and doing that isn't as difficult as you think.

About the Authors:

The business has since grown into a separate events company called Under Sky, offering premium outdoor experiences and pop-up glamping accommodation for corporate gatherings and festivals. Doron and Stephanie go out into nature as often as they can and feel most at home when on the road.

Усі дороги ведуть до Риму, і всі дороги у самому Вічному місті ведуть до смачної їжі. У Римі Кеті та Джанкарло розкопують приховані перлини міста – рецепти, яким багато століть, а також нові, захопливі страви, натхненні римлянами з усіх верств суспільства.

Дует представляє свої інтерпретації класичних страв, таких як Качо е Пепе від Кеті (паста з гострим сиром та перцем), а також улюблені сімейні страви, такі як Спігола ін Сальтімбокка (морський окунь з пармською шинкою та листям шавлії). Співпрацюючи з найкращими шеф-кухарями Риму, вони діляться сучасними італійськими рецептами, такими як Сорбетто ді Пепероне, вогненно-гострий сорбет з чилі, – які відображають теплоту та колорит цього гамірного міста. Це вражаючий, свіжий погляд на римську кухню.

Окрім усіх спокусливих рецептів, Кеті та Джанкарло запрошують читачів у розкішну візуальну подорож від Пантеону та Колізею до палаццо епохи Відродження, барокових фонтанів та місцевих тратторій. Доповнена розповідями Кеті про їхню подорож, книга Rome – це чудова кулінарна книга та пам’ятний подарунок, який перенесе вас у серце Італії.
