Sinopse

STOP THINKING LOS CABOS WAS MEANT TO LAST. START LEARNING WHY IT WAS MEANT TO PASS THROUGH.At the far edge of the Baja Peninsula, Los Cabos existed as a waypoint, not a destination. Sailors, fishermen, missionaries, and traders stopped briefly, then moved on—driven by water, weather, and survival. Isolation defined the place, and permanence was never guaranteed. This is the story of a land shaped by movement, not settlement.THIS ISN’T A RESORT ORIGIN STORY. IT’S A HISTORY OF TRANSIENCE.Inside, discover how geography discouraged cities, how scarcity filtered who could stay, and how those who remained learned endurance over comfort. Long before tourism arrived, Los Cabos was forged by those who passed through—and by the few who chose not to leave.THE LAND DECIDED WHO BELONGED.From desert meets sea to sudden modern transformation, Los Cabos reveals how places without roots still accumulate history. This book shows how absence, passage, and persistence shaped a place everyone crossed—and almost no one claimed.

    Trainspotting is a 1996 British black comedy-drama directed by Danny Boyle, based on Irvine Welsh's novel. The film follows Mark Renton, a young heroin addict living in Edinburgh, as he navigates a chaotic lifestyle with his friends, all grappling with addiction and the struggles of urban poverty.

With its energetic style, Trainspotting explores the highs and lows of drug use, as the characters face difficult choices and confront the realities of their lives. 
      
    TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
      
    “The entire film was shot in just seven and a half weeks.” 
      
    “Although it looks thoroughly off-putting, the feces in the "Worst Toilet in Scotland" scene was actually made from chocolate and smelled quite pleasant.” 
      
    “Kelly Macdonald, in her naiveté, invited her mother and brother to the set while filming her sex scene with Ewan McGregor.” 
      
    “Due to a tight budget, many scenes had to be shot in a single take.” 
      
    “Ewen Bremner (Spud) had previously played Renton in a stage adaptation of the novel.”

    The Wild Garden was first published in 1870 but it is still hugely relevant to our gardens today. He introduced the world to the concept of wild gardening - naturalising hardy plants from Europe and North America and introducing them in ways that allow their natural way of growing to shine - that is still being implemented in the 21st century.   
    This is the third edition of the book that was published in 1883.

    TAXI DRIVER 
    THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
      
    FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY MARTIN SCORSESE 
      
    CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
      
    ABOUT THE FILM 
    Taxi Driver (1976), directed by Martin Scorsese, follows Travis Bickle (Robert De Niro), a mentally troubled Vietnam War veteran who becomes a night-shift taxi driver in a decaying, crime-ridden New York City. Struggling with chronic insomnia and loneliness, Travis’s disillusionment with society grows as he witnesses the city's corruption and moral decay. Obsessed with saving a young prostitute, Iris (Jodie Foster), and seeking a sense of purpose, Travis begins to spiral into violent thoughts. The film explores themes of isolation, existentialism, and the psychological consequences of trauma, set against the gritty backdrop of 1970s urban America. 
      
    TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
      
    “Steven Prince improvised the list of additional illegal things Easy Andy had for sale after Travis buys the guns.” 
      
    “Due to a garbage strike, much of the on-screen filth is real.” 
      
    “Paul Schrader originally envisioned the character of Travis with Jeff Bridges in mind.” 
      
    “Robert De Niro's on-and-off girlfriend in the 1970s, Diahnne Abbott, appears as the concession girl in the porno theater near the beginning of the film.” 
      
    “The girl who Martin Scorsese studied to prepare for the role of Iris (played by Jodie Foster) also appears in the film as Iris' friend on the street.”
