Sinossi

Weirdest Tourist Attractions explores the captivating world of unusual tourism, delving into destinations that attract visitors due to their oddity rather than conventional appeal. It examines why places like the Catacombs of Paris or colossal roadside attractions become must-see sites, challenging our understanding of why we travel. The book highlights the phenomenon of "dark tourism," where sites associated with death and disaster draw crowds, reflecting our fascination with mortality. This exploration of bizarre attractions posits that they serve as cultural mirrors, reflecting our anxieties and curiosities. The book uncovers how societies construct and consume history and culture through these unusual sites. Beginning with an introduction to "weird tourism," the book progresses through categories like abandoned landmarks and intentionally bizarre constructions, providing historical context and analyzing their appeal. This narrative non-fiction approach combines factual information with engaging storytelling, making it valuable for travel enthusiasts and history buffs alike.

    "I loved this book. It's full of things I didn't know and needed to know. It's fun too. Nigel Fletcher's instinct that you can illuminate politics through the study of opposition is fully vindicated." – Daniel Finkelstein, columnist, The Times
    "A thoroughly entertaining and compelling journey through the too-often overlooked post of Leader of the Opposition and the various characters who have held it. Nigel expertly brings these opposition leaders to life, making for an amusing and informative read that is, above all, never dull for a single second." – Ayesha Hazarika, Times Radio presenter
    "A delightful account of the strange lives of the politicians who didn't quite make it to the top job. A chocolate box of a book: wonderful to pick at slowly or to binge your way through in one long session." – Stephen Bush, associate editor and columnist, Financial Times
    ***
    History is written by the winners, they say. And more often than not, it is written about them too. A library's worth of books have been published chronicling the UK's Prime Ministers – those individuals who somehow made it to the top of the greasy pole of politics, however short or undistinguished their tenure.
    But what about those who failed to make it? Leaders of the Opposition present themselves as the alternative Prime Minister, waiting in the wings, ready to move centre stage. Many of them have indeed gone on to take power. But many more have not. Who were these potential PMs? Why did they never reach the top job? Do they all deserve to be remembered as losers?
    In this often wildly entertaining anthology, Dr Nigel Fletcher of the Centre for Opposition Studies brings together profiles of the opposition leaders who didn't make it to No. 10, from Charles James Fox to Jeremy Corbyn. Packed to the brim with odd facts, amusing anecdotes and pub quiz trivia about each not quite Prime Minister, this compelling collection is a journey through British political history, bringing to life the figures from the other side of the political equation who had remained in the shadow of 10 Downing Street – until now.

    Searching, propulsive, and deeply spiritual, Accordion Eulogies is an odyssey to repair a severed family lineage, told through the surprising history of a musical instrument 
     
     
     
    Growing up in Yakima, Washington, Noé Álvarez never knew his grandfather. Stories swirled around this mythologized, larger-than-life figure: That he had abandoned his family, and had possibly done something awful that put a curse on his descendants. About his grandfather, young Noé was sure of only one thing: That he had played the accordion. Now an adult, reckoning with the legacy of silence surrounding his family's migration from Mexico, Álvarez resolves both to take up the instrument and to journey into Mexico to discover the grandfather he never knew. 
     
     
     
    Álvarez travels across the US with his accordion, meeting makers and players in cities that range from San Antonio to Boston. He uncovers the story of an instrument that's been central to classic American genres, but also played a critical role in indigenous Mexican history. Like the accordion itself, Álvarez feels trapped between his roots in Mexico and the US. As he tries to make sense of his place in the world—as a father, a son, a musician—he gets closer to uncovering the mystery of his origins.
