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.

Четыре продуманных маршрута позволят читателю познакомиться с наиболее выдающимися и значимыми произведениями современной архитектуры — от зданий, расположенных вдоль бульвара Курфюрстендамм на западе города, до районов массовой застройки в восточной части Берлина.

За последние десятилетия Венеция стала местом паломничества архитекторов со всего мира. Во время архитектурной биеннале – самого значимого в этой области и поистине грандиозного события – эксперты и любители встречаются здесь, вблизи площади Сан-Марко, моста Риальто и Дворца дожей. Удивительно, что до сих пор не существовало путеводителя по новой архитектуре самого крупного города-музея под открытым небом. 

Эта книга представляет собой ключ к Венеции, какой она стала после 1950 года, и приглашает выйти за пределы проторенных туристами троп. Путеводитель включает водные и пешеходные маршруты, благодаря которым вы сможете узнать о новых жилых комплексах, колоссальных преобразованиях, произошедших на территории гавани, разнообразных выставочных павильонах Биеннале, построенных за прошедшие 60 лет, и, конечно, о замечательных проектах Карло Скарпы, Тадао Андо, Дэвида Чипперфильда и других мастеров. Эта по-настоящему практичная книга повествует и о неоднозначных проектах, как, например, система защиты от наводнений или реконструкция Фондако-деи-Тедески по проекту Рема Колхаса. 

Дополнительно в путеводителе рассмотрены масштабные нереализованные концепции таких известных архитекторов, как Фрэнк Ллойд Райт, Ле Корбюзье и Луис Кан.

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.
