Summary

In this captivating journey across America, we embark on an exploration of the human condition, uncovering hidden gems and stories that reveal the heart and soul of the nation. Through the eyes of diverse and unforgettable characters, we witness the struggles, triumphs, and resilience of the American people.

This is not merely a travelogue; it is a profound meditation on what it means to be alive, to love, to suffer, and to dream. As we traverse the vast and ever-changing landscape, we discover the beauty of the unexpected, the power of human connection, and the transformative nature of travel.

With each turn of the page, we are introduced to a cast of characters as rich and diverse as the land itself: the wise old farmer who has witnessed the changing times, the young entrepreneur who dreams of making a difference, the struggling artist who pours their soul into their work, the resilient community that has overcome adversity.

Their stories intertwine and collide, painting a vivid tapestry of American life. We laugh, we cry, we cheer them on, and we learn alongside them. Their experiences remind us of the infinite possibilities that life holds, the importance of staying true to ourselves, and the power of human connection.

This book is an invitation to embark on a journey that will change your perspective, open your heart, and remind you of the beauty and resilience of the human spirit. Join us as we crisscross the nation, discovering the hidden gems and stories that make America truly exceptional.

    “With inspiring stories, interesting profiles, insider tips, and stunning photos, The New Paris is Lindsey Tramuta’s love letter to her home, proving that Paris is no longer a city stuck in the past but once again at the forefront of culture. She will leave you eager to book the next flight out.” —Kristen Beddard, author, Bonjour Kale: A Memoir of Paris, Love, and Recipes 
 
The city long adored for its medieval beauty, old-timey brasseries, and corner cafés has even more to offer today. In the last few years, a flood of new ideas and creative locals has infused a once-static, traditional city with a new open-minded sensibility and energy. 
 
Journalist Lindsey Tramuta offers detailed insight into the rapidly evolving worlds of food, wine, pastry, coffee, beer, fashion, and design in the delightful city of Paris. She puts the spotlight on the new trends and people that are making France’s capital a more whimsical, creative, vibrant, and curious place to explore than its classical reputation might suggest. 
 
With hundreds of striking photographs by Charissa Fay that capture this fresh, animated spirit—and a curated directory of Tramuta’s favorite places to eat, drink, stay, and shop—The New Paris shows us the storied City of Light as never before.

    In Spain: What Everyone Needs to Know®, a timely addition to Oxford's What Everyone Needs to Know® series, veteran journalist William Chislett provides political and historical context for Spain's current economic and political predicament. Chislett recounts the country's fascinating and often turbulent history, beginning with the Muslim conquest in 711 and ending with the nation's deep economic crisis, sparked by the spectacular collapse of its real estate and construction sectors in 2010. He explains the country's transition from dictatorship to democracy and covers such issues as the creation of a welfare state, the influx of immigrants, internal strife from the separatist Catalan region, the effects of stringent austerity measures, the strengths and weaknesses of the economy, and how the country can create a more sustainable economic model for the future. In a concise, question-and-answer format that allows listeners to quickly access areas of particular interest, the book addresses a wide range of questions, including: What was the legacy of the Muslim presence between 711 and 1492? How did the Spanish Empire Arise? What were the causes of the 1936-39 Civil War? Why did the Socialists win a landslide victory in the 1982 election? What was the impact of European Economic Community membership? What is the violent Basque separatist group ETA? And more.

    FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE ACCLAIMED THE GRAN TOUR AND THE MARMALADE DIARIES


An irreverent homage to the '95 travel classic.

'It would be wrong to view this book as just a highly accomplished homage to a personal hero. Aitken's politics, as much as his humour, are firmly in the spotlight, and Dear Bill Bryson achieves more than its title (possibly even its author) intended.' Manchester Review


In 2013, travel writer Ben Aitken decided to follow in the footsteps of his hero - literally - and started a journey around the UK, tracing the trip taken by Bill Bryson in his classic tribute to the British Isles, Notes from a Small Island.


Staying at the same hotels, ordering the same food, and even spending the same amount of time in the bath, Aitken's homage - updated and with a new preface for 2022 - is filled with wit, insight and humour.

    Andrew’s second book, Travels with Tracy: Tales from a Midlife Gap Year, is not your typical travel memoir. With successful careers behind them, supportive families and a lifetime of hard work up their sleeves, Andrew and Tracy decided to pack up their lives and embark on a richly diverse two-year journey through seventeen countries, across five continents.  
Brimming with unforgettable adventures and encounters with remarkable people, Andrew takes readers from the Shibuya crossing and earthquakes in Tokyo to the Louvre and the Olympics in Paris, then all the way to the Amazonian rainforest and the breathtaking Galápagos Islands.  
Closer to his home, he braves the Alps 2 Ocean trail in stunning New Zealand and discovers the wonder of crossing the Nullarbor while playing the world’s longest golf course. As their travels unfold, Andrew and Tracy begin to ponder what makes life important, think deeply about what makes us who we are, and together come to understand life’s ultimate question – who do you want to be? 
In Travels with Tracy, Andrew’s thoughtful search for truth and identity – delivered with a sharp wit and a fast pace – will inspire you to box up your life and dive headfirst into an adventure of your own.
