Sinopse

Journey to the heart of Venice, the Floating City, and discover its beauty, history, and people in this captivating book.

Venice is a city like no other, a place where time seems to stand still. It is a city of canals and bridges, of palaces and churches, of piazzas and narrow alleyways. It is a city of gondolas and serenades, of masks and carnivals. It is a city of beauty and decay, of wealth and poverty, of light and shadow.

In this book, we take you on a journey through the Floating City, exploring its iconic landmarks, hidden gems, and the lives of its people. We visit St. Mark's Square, the Doge's Palace, and the Rialto Bridge. We wander through the narrow streets and canals of Dorsoduro and Cannaregio, discovering secret courtyards and charming boutiques. We meet the gondoliers, the fishermen, the artists, and the shopkeepers who make Venice a vibrant and unique city.

We learn about Venice's rich history, from its humble beginnings as a cluster of fishing villages to its rise as a powerful maritime empire. We explore Venice's unique culture and traditions, shaped by centuries of living on the water. We discover the challenges that Venice faces today, from rising sea levels to the impact of mass tourism.

But Venice is a city of hope and resilience. Despite the challenges, it remains a place of beauty and wonder, a city that continues to inspire and enchant people from all over the world.

Join us on a journey through Venice, the Floating City. Let us explore its beauty, its history, and its people. Let us discover why Venice is a city that will forever hold a special place in our hearts.

This book is a love letter to Venice, a celebration of its beauty, its resilience, and its enduring spirit. It is a book that will transport you to the Floating City and leave you longing to return.

    Called "a veritable tree whisperer" by the Wall Street Journal, Peter Wohlleben is known across the world for his illuminating books about forests and how to help them thrive. Now, the German forester invites listeners into his home for the first time in Our Little Farm, describing the steps he and his wife, Miriam, have taken to live sustainably and in harmony with nature. 
     
     
     
    Peter and Miriam moved from the city to a remote forest lodge in the early nineties. Amidst juggling careers and raising a young family, they learned how to plant and rotate crops, harvest and preserve nature's bounty, and tend to the unique needs of their animals and environment. Along the way, they made mistakes and abandoned some projects (sheep raising was not their thing) but maintained a sense of joy in their shared goal. 
     
     
     
    Brimming with insights, wisdom, and tips on everything from constructing farm buildings to choosing the perfect chicken, Our Little Farm shows that, with a little grit, humor, and self-compassion, it's possible to live according to our values and to care for the earth even as we care for ourselves, our homes, and our families.

    With Mountain Madness, Clinton Crockett Peters chronicles his travels and personal transformation from a West Texas evangelical to mountain guide-addict to humbled humanist after a near-fatal injury in Japan's Chichibu Mountains. From 2007 to 2010, Peters lived in Kosuge Village (population nine hundred), nestled in central Japan's peaks, where he was the only foreigner in the rugged town. Using these three years as a frame, this essay collection profiles who he was before Japan, why he became obsessed with mountains, and his fallout from mountain obsession, including an essay on Craig Arnold, the poet who disappeared on a Japanese volcano. Ultimately, the collection asks, how can landscape create and end identities?

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    In past times, all the adventures experienced by sailors on each ocean crossing were recorded by the captain in his navigation logbook, the captain's logbook, a manuscript carefully written by the highest rank of the boat, written with a pen and guard in his main cabin. In this manuscript, the captain had to write down everything that happened during his trip, a complete adventure manual, for those who would read it in the future. 
    	This book will be our captain's blog. A manuscript written by airline pilots, who have shared their stories with us, and want to offer their stories to the world. Each of the stories detailed in this work are real, modifying some data and information to protect the privacy of those who have told them. 
    	Accompanied by these flight stories, we will learn the real stories of professional success of some of our colleagues, who have decided to share their own personal stories to show that every dream is possible, even when it is impossible. 
    	Cockpit Stories is the first book of the Aeronautical Library that departs from technical teachings and seeks to entertain its readers with fabulous stories lived in the cockpit, where it is presumed that what happens in the cabin, remains in the cabin.
