Résumé:
From the ruins of Palmyra in the Syrian desert to the ghost town of Bodie, the painted churches of Sucevita in Romania, and a fire festival in a Japanese village, Michael Webb has ventured far afield in search of the rare and beautiful. He recalls memorable experiences of people and places over eight decades of travel around the world, and some of the buildings and landscapes that have left a lasting impression. It's getting harder to find places that have not been commercialized and overwhelmed by mass tourism, but they can still be found, even in the most popular destinations. Webb's recommendations should inspire you to get off the beaten track and make your own discoveries.

Ce livre raconte un programme unique au monde : la conception, la construction et l’usage de 10 refuges périurbains – 10 oeuvres d’art, qui dialoguent avec un territoire et accompagnent de nouvelles pratiques sociales. Situées dans des enclaves de verdure au sein d’un environnement urbain dense, ou offrant une vue spectaculaire sur l’industrie, le port, l’aménagement, les refuges mettent en scène la relation du bâti et du site… Adossées à un Sentier Métropolitain de randonnée pédestre de 200 km, ces refuges sont des oeuvres performées par les marcheurs qui y passent, y dorment, y rêvent.

Résumé:
This work of literary nonfiction is a deep dive into our surroundings- cities, countryside, and sprawl- exploring change in the meaning of place and reimagining the world in a time of transition. Whether it be climate change altering the meaning of nature, or digital communications altering the nature of work, the effects of global enclosure on the meaning of place are panoramic, infiltrative, inescapable. In this exploration of our surroundings, ''The Absent Hand'' contends that to reimagine landscape is a form of cultural reinvention.

Résumé:
Few activities seem to promise as much happiness as going travelling: taking off for somewhere else, somewhere far from home, a place with more interesting weather, customs and landscapes. But although we are inundated with advice on where to travel to, we seldom ask why we go and how we might become more fulfilled by doing so. With the help of a selection of writers, artists and thinkers, Alain de Botton provides invaluable insights into everything from holiday romance to hotel minibars, airports to sightseeing. The perfect antidote to those guides that tell us what to do when we get there, this book tries to explain why we really went in the first place - and helpfully suggest how we might be happier on our journeys.

Résumé:
For the insatiably curious and ardent Europhile Stefan Zweig, travel was both a necessary cultural education and a personal balm for the depression he experienced when rooted in one place for too long. He spent much of his life weaving between the countries of Europe, visiting authors and friends, exploring the continent in the heyday of international rail travel. Comprising a lifetime’s observations on Zweig’s travels in Europe, this collection can be dipped into or savoured at length, and paints a rich and sensitive picture of Europe before the Second World War.
