Weekends on the road. The ultimate travel guide to the USA and Canada. 

To travel in North America is to face a delicious quandary: over these vast spaces with so many riches, from glittering cities to eccentric small towns and heart-stoppingly beautiful mountains and plains, how to experience as much as possible in limited time? 
The New York Times has the answer, and has been offering up dream weekends with practical itineraries in its popular weekly "36 Hours" column for over a decade. And since 2011, starting with the publication of 36 Hours: USA & Canada, TASCHEN has been collecting these stories into best-selling books, organized continent by continent. Now, after compiling volumes on Europe, Asia, and the rest of the world, editor Barbara Ireland has come home, with a fully revised and updated second edition of 36 Hours: USA & Canada. 

Marquee metropolises like New York, Montreal, and Los Angeles; world-famous natural wonders at Niagara Falls and the Grand Canyon; the hidden charm of Rust Belt cities like Duluth and Detroit - they're all here. And so are 29 new destinations not published in the first edition, from Banff, with its crystal blue glacier-fed lakes, to El Paso, where the border culture spans two states and two countries. For a taste of adventure and a veritable journey throughout the continent, explore 36 Hours in America. 

Features: 150 North American destinations, from metropolitan hot spots to unexpected hideaways; practical recommendations for over 600 restaurants and 450 hotels; color-coded tabs and ribbons to bookmark your favorite cities in each region; nearly 1,000 photos; all stories have been updated and adapted by Barbara Ireland, a veteran Times travel editor; illustrations by Olimpia Zagnoli of Milan, Italy; easy-to-reference indexes; and, detailed city-by-city maps that pinpoint every stop on your itinerary.

The definitive and comprehensive guide to strategies for fishing insect hatches on trout streams throughout the world.

One of the most studied yet intimidating aspects of fly fishing for trout is an understanding of insect hatches. This unique book teaches fly fishers enough entomology to be successful, and instead of focusing on insect identification, it stresses learning how to approach trout, how to find where they feed, and how to present the fly so it is accepted as natural food without hesitation. It helps fly fishers catch more fish on dry flies, streamers, and nymphs, and teaches the angler more about trout than the life history of insects.

Chapters include a basic overview of entomology, how trout feed, how currents affect trout, how to read the water, and how to predict hatches and find trout feeding on them. There is also a selection of flies that will imitate a myriad of insects to fool fish no matter what species they are feeding on. In addition, The Orvis Guide to Hatch Strategies debunks common myths and stresses that fly fishing for trout during hatches is enjoyable and intellectually stimulating — not a chore.

About the Author:

Tom Rosenbauer has been a lifelong fly fisher and is the author of more than a dozen books on fly fishing and fly tying, including The Orvis Fly-Fishing Guide. Tom Bie is the founder, publisher, and editor-in-chief of The Drake, a leading fly-fishing magazine. The Orvis Company began in 1856 as a fly-fishing company and is now the nation’s oldest mail-order business.

Of all institutions, common to all societies throughout human history, slavery is the only constant. It would not be wildly inaccurate to suggest that well over 90% of all humanity has been subjected to slavery of some description. In one form or another, the institution has been the basis of human progression. For example, slaves built the Egyptian pyramids, as they did the Mayan and Aztec pyramids in the Americas; the Golden Years of Greece and Rome were the result of slavery; slaves built the Parthenon. Today through China, India, Africa, the Middle East, Eurasia, the Americas and Indonesia - through varying degrees of indentured labour - slavery continues to underpin our lives, and what we consume.

The Slave Route is an entertaining account of one man s journey through distant lands. Artist Harry Holcroft visits over twenty countries across Africa and America as he retraces the path of the ancient slave routes, adopting the various historical means of travel along the way. An enthusiastic storyteller, Holcroft s diary conveys the idiosyncratic charm of these exotic lands and a unique collection of over 100 paintings and sketches capture the haunting atmosphere of some of the world s most evocative places.

Who had the most commercial success in their lifetime, Ernest Hemingway or Agatha Christie? Whose work has the most adaptations, F. Scott Fitzgerald or Franz Kafka? Who courted the most scandal, Colette or James Joyce? Pit 32 of the world’s greatest modern writers against each other with these beautifully illustrated cards. An ideal gift for the book lover in your life.

Остаточна та інтригуюча біографія Макса Ферстаппена, суперзірки Формули-1, великого суперника Льюїса Хемілтона та переможця Чемпіонатів світу серед пілотів 2021 та 2022 років.

Жоден голлівудський сценарист не міг би уявити захоплюючу, захоплюючу адреналін кульмінацію сезону Формули-1 2021 року. На останньому колі останньої гонки неймовірно напруженого та суперечливого сезону Макс Ферстаппен з Red Bull без нервів випередив семиразового чемпіона світу Льюїса Гамільтона з Mercedes і здобув перше місце, яке підштовхнуло юного вундеркінда до найменшої перемоги та його першого титулу чемпіона світу серед пілотів. Він також виграв титул у 2022 році.

Можливо, Ферстаппену лише 25 років, але сенсація нідерландського автоспорту має неймовірний рекорд у Формулі-1: 165 стартів у гонках, 79 фінішів на подіумі та 36 перемог на Гран-прі – це лише одна історія – цей молодий чоловік уже залишив незгладимий слід у спорті. Син пілота Формули-1 Йоса, Ферстаппен-молодший, швидко вийшов із тіні свого батька: його юнацька харизма, шалена швидкість, безстрашна манера водіння та відмова відступати роблять його справжнім чемпіоном. А феноменальний успіх документального серіалу Drive to Survive від Netflix ще більше підвищив його всесвітню популярність.

Широко поважний автор автоспорту та інсайдер Формули-1 Марк Хьюз має ідеальне місце, щоб написати найавторитетнішу розповідь про неймовірний підйом Ферстаппена по кар'єрних сходах до слави Формули-1. Бездоганні повноваження Хьюза та першокласний доступ дозволяють йому генерувати свіжі та захоплюючі ідеї та намалювати повний і багатогранний портрет одного з найзахопливіших молодих спортсменів на планеті.

Про автора:

Марк Хьюз є редактором Grand Prix журналу Motor Sport , кореспондентом F1 The Sunday Times і технічним редактором відомого щорічного журналу автогонок Autocourse.
Він також проводить аналіз телевізійних трансляцій Формули-1, зараз працює технічним аналітиком Sky Sports. У нього 32 тисячі підписників у Twitter.
Г’юз написав низку книг, пов’язаних із Формуло-1: Speed ​​Addicts (HarperCollins) отримав нагороду за найкращу ілюстровану книгу на British Sports Book Awards у 2006 році;Льюїс Гамільтон, повна історія (Icon Books) вийшов у 2008 році; і він був співавтором Crashed And Byrned (Icon Books), яка перемогла у 2008 році в ірландській спортивній книзі William Hill.

Відень здавна є містом, яке з шиком поєднує Східну та Західну Європу. Зберіть валізу та зануртесь у плавильний котел Європи.

Столиця Австрії пропонує набагато більше, ніж барокові палаци, кінні екіпажі та визначні місця, де Моцарт і Клімт вперше продемонстрували свої шедеври. Цей путівник допоможе вам подалі від переповненого Пратера та його колеса огляду (хоча, звичайно, ми зробимо короткий обхід повз Віденську державну оперу та палац Шенбрунн) та вирушить дослідити 23 різноманітні райони міста.

Ми покажемо вам, де можна придбати взуття та столові прибори від найшанованіших виробників, а також наш вибір кав'ярень, де можна насолодитися пінистим меланжем та шматочком яблучного штруделя. Ми проведемо вас до найяскравіших художніх галерей та музичних закладів, проведемо вас через Музейний квартал та до наших улюблених будівель у стилі бруталізму, а також розкриємо найкращі маршрути для бігу вздовж Дунаю.

Автори:

Monocle повідомляє з усього світу з друкованих, радіо та онлайн-платформ. Коли їхні редактори та кореспонденти мчать з міста в місто, вони дізнаються про найкращі місця, де можна відпочити, розім’яти кінцівки та розслабитися з знайомим у важкодоступному коктейль-барі.

Вся ця безцінна інформація тепер доступна в серії The Monocle Travel Guide Series: добірці книг, які в обізнаній, але неформальній манері розповідають читачам про все: від архітектури до мистецтва, від нічних барів до ранкових екскурсій до кафе. Це книги, які виходять за рамки традиційних туристичних маршрутів, щоб ви отримали максимум від міста, незалежно від того, наскільки коротке ваше перебування. Розроблені компактними та колекційними, вони також вибагливі. Між обкладинками не буде списку ста місць, де можна поїсти, а продуманого фокусу на тому, що найкраще підходить для будь-якої події.
