Summary

On his personal quest to check off the best of his home country, travel writer and host Robin Esrock catalogues must-sees, including nature, food, culture, history, adrenaline rushes, and quirky Canadiana. After spending years crafting the definitive Canadian Bucket List, he’s packed in enough for a lifetime, at least. In this special excerpt, Esrock takes us to "La Belle Province", a distinct land of rich city culture and time-honoured rural traditions, set against the backdrop of a vast wilderness. Experiences include: discovering historic Quebec City, scaling a frozen waterfall, spending a night in an ice hotel, and finding Montreal’s best smoked meat sandwich.

(Marco Redolfi, Head Of PR Of Dolce & Gabbanna Why is it that French women look just as glamorous in a T-shirt and pair of jeans as in a sleek designer dress? How do they look sexy, chic and timelessly elegant from eighteen to eighty? Pencil-thin, stylishly dressed and, always, impeccably groomed?

    A guide to the attractions, natural history, and cultural history of the Great Basin—perfect for tourists, naturalists, and historians.Great Basin National Park, Snake Valley, and Spring Valley cover more than 3,000 square miles across portions of Nevada and Utah, but few people know much about this diverse area. In her guidebook to Great Basin National Park, Gretchen Baker covers everything a potential visitor needs to know about one of the country’s best-kept secrets.The park sits in one of America’s driest, least populated, and most isolated deserts. It is a place of significant geological and scenic value, offering unspoiled vistas, abundant wildlife, clean air, and natural attractions. That contrast is one facet of the diversity that characterizes this region. Within and outside the park are phenomenal landscape features, biotic wonders, unique environments, varied historic sites, and the local colors of isolated towns and ranches. Vast Snake and Spring Valleys, bracketing the national park, are also subjects of one of the West’s most divisive environmental contests. At stake is what on the surface seems almost absent but underground is abundant enough for sprawling Las Vegas to covet—water.This guidebook not only describes the peaks, glaciers, subalpine lakes, caves, hiking trails, campgrounds, and historical sites, but also explores the cultural history of the park and surrounding area. Each chapter addresses the physical attributes and navigational issues of a specific area and includes an in-depth historical overview. The text is complemented by useful maps and historical photographs and makes Great Basin National Park: A Guidebook to the Park and Surrounding Area the most comprehensive book on the region available.

    Capture the vibrant flavors of southern Spain with this award-winning cookbook featuring recipes from each of Andalucia’s 8 provinces. Acclaimed food writer Elisabeth Luard offers a personal, geographical and culinary tour of Andalucia in this beautifully illustrated cookbook. Along with mouthwatering recipes, Luard describes how the geography and history of the region have influenced its culinary traditions—and intriguing combination of hearty peasant fare and delicate seasonings that are a legacy of Moorish invasions. Each province draws on its own magnificent natural larder, and the recipes, such as hot gazpacho from Huelva, salt cod with potatoes and peppers from Jaén, pork and beans with chard from Seville and chickpea and wheat soup from Almería, reflect this diversity. Having lived in the area for several years, Luard interweaves personal memories with a wealth of cultural and historical information. The text is accompanied by the author's own watercolors of dishes and scenes of Andalucian life.   Winner of the Glenfiddich Award for Best Food Book
