Beschreibung

When it comes to pastimes in Palm Springs, dining out is #1. But with more than six hundred eating establishments dotting the area from Desert Hot Springs to Indio, choosing the perfect lunch spot could pose a major problem. Local food writer Peter Osbaldeston aids hungry vacationers with his second edition of this inclusive guide, profiling the ultimate in Palm Springs cuisine. Only the high and low points are addressed, whether it is the chef’s credentials, the building’s history, or the ingredients in the main dish.  Imagine waiting in line for hours only to discover that the building is less than pristine, the hollandaise sauce has the consistency of diesel fuel, and the background music is loud and irritating. Osbaldeston comes to the rescue with vivid descriptions that capture the essence and atmosphere as only a local can. He brings to life the “subtle flavors of the lobster marry[ing] at once with the sparkling pea bisque” at Azur in La Quinta, or “one of the most potent assaults of wild-mushroom aromas” at Johannes in Palm Springs. Knowing exactly what to expect, every tourist can dine like a native in the luxurious Coachella Valley.

Lee Gutkind’s memoir of motorcycling, and an ode to the solitude, independence, and exhilaration of the open roadFew things loom as large in our imaginations as the idea of a cross-country trip, exposed to the elements and open to whatever challenges lie around the bend. In the early 1970s, looking to experience and explain the allure of the road trip, Lee Gutkind embarked on a long motorcycle road trip, documenting the misadventures and magic that he found along the way. He writes of the men whose journeys continue to resonate, from Lawrence of Arabia to the Hell’s Angels. He explores the appeal of the motorcycle—his vehicle of choice—and its historically loaded place in the American imagination. And he revels in the country’s diverse and striking landscapes, as seen while moving through woods, plains, mountains, and deserts.An inspiring and evocative tribute to the power of the journey, Bike Fever is a classic rendering of the unique freedom wrought by a motorcycle and a long highway.

The travel writer and Cornwall native explores his home on a journey by foot to Land’s End in this “fascinating and hauntingly evocative” memoir (Literary Review).  A Guardian, Financial Times, Observer, and Scotsman Book of the Year   In 2010, Philip Marsden moved with his family to a rundown farmhouse in Cornwall, England. From the moment he arrived, Marsden was fascinated by the landscape and the traces of human history all around him. Wanting to experience the place more fully, he set out to walk across Cornwall, to the evocatively named Land’s End.  Rising Ground is a record of that journey, but it is also so much more: a beautifully written meditation on place, nature, and human life that encompasses history, archaeology, geography, and the love of place that suffuses us when we finally find home. Firmly in a storied tradition of English nature writing that stretches from Gilbert White to Helen MacDonald, Rising Ground reveals the ways that places and peoples have interacted over time, from standing stones to footpaths, ancient habitations to modern highways. What does it mean to truly live in a place, and what does it take to understand, and honor, those who lived and died there long before we arrived?  "A fascinating study of place and its meaning."—Observer, UK

In this wise, warm-hearted, witty, and LOL hilariously funny true account, New York Times bestselling author Andrew Kaplan tells what it’s like when he, his wife, and two-year-old son decided to chuck it all and live the fantasy in a villa by the sea in that extraordinary corner of the world – part international café society, part billionaires’ playground, part provincial France – that is the French Riviera. 
Whether it’s matching wits with French bureaucracy, searching for the perfect bouillabaisse, encounters with con men, eccentric ex-pats, and Monaco’s royal family, partying with the international set on Onassis’ yacht, playing chess with a philosophical police chief, or adventures and friendships with the rich and famous and the presumably standoffish French, Once Upon a Villa will transport you to a fascinating and shrewdly-observed world that you will savor like your first-morning bite of pain au chocolate. 
So pour yourself a glass of wine, open the book, and Santé!
