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:

Doron and Stephanie Francis launched Homecamp in 2014, an online business that sells beautifully crafted products to help people enjoy the outdoors in style and comfort. 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.

Славутич – украинский провинциальный город к северу от Киева – во многом кажется принадлежащим другой эпохе. Город был построен после ядерной катастрофы, которая произошла в 1986 году на Чернобыльской АЭС, для переселения рабочих электростанции из загрязненной Припяти. Славутич – последний идеальный плановый город Советского Союза.

Однако тема Славутича весьма актуальна – особенно в период политического кризиса в Восточной Европе. Славутич является архитектурной манифестацией дружбы советских народов. Архитекторы восьми республик СССР участвовали в планировании и строительстве города. В результате, постмодернистская архитектура Славутича одновременно характеризуется социалистическими, советскими парадигмами и региональным воздействием Кавказа, Балтии и России. Кроме того, поиски последнего поколения советских архитекторов экологически устойчивой, удобной для жилья архитектуры, безусловно, актуальны и сегодня.

Архитектурный путеводитель по Славутичу документирует все районы и большинство зданий города, давая критический анализ уникальной поздней советской архитектуры и градостроительства в контексте Перестройки.

Slavutych, a Ukrainian provincial city north of Kyiv, seems in many respects to belong to a different era. Built after the Chornobyl nuclear disaster in 1986 to replace the contaminated dwellings of workers from the power plant, Slavutych is the last 'ideal' planned city of the Soviet Union.

However, the city is also highly topical - particularly in times of political crisis in Eastern Europe. Slavutych is an architectural manifestation of the Soviet people's friendship, with architects throughout the Soviet Union involved in its planning and construction. As a result, Slavutych's postmodernist architecture is both characterised by socialist, Soviet paradigms and regional influences from the Caucasus region, Baltic States and Russia. Furthermore, the search of the last Soviet generation of architects for an environmentally sustainable, habitable architecture is of course still relevant today.

The Architectural Guide Slavutych documents numerous buildings and all city districts, providing a critical analysis of unique late Soviet architecture and urban planning in the context of Perestroika.

Exploring the most exciting art spots worldwide, The Art Escapes Atlas invites the reader to delve into surprising new frontiers in culture travel.

A manual of the not-to-be-missed getaways for art lovers across the world, The Art Escapes Atlas will show the most captivating art, culture and design scenes for those who don’t want to waste any time, and always make the most out of a cultural trip.

This is the perfect guidebook for all artlovers who visit or live in New York, and an essential reference book for anyone interested in the history of art.

Its unique approach draws on the cream of New York’s museums and galleries to create an easily navigable, narrative history of art and allows you to locate your favourite artist or style of art in any museum and follow it throughout the museums of New York.

Do you like, say, French art? This book will show you where to find it in New York, from great masterpieces of the genre on show in world-famous institutions to hidden gems housed in galleries off the beaten track.

The Art Guide also features concise histories and critical analyses of many important artists as well as key movements, showing you where to see, for example, Jackson Pollock’s iconic works and pinpointing his former New York homes and haunts.

• ‘Artist in focus’ sections present a full tour of New York’s holdings of iconic artists
