Lost in Milan
Milan. Italy's capital of business, fashion and design. A city that hums with restless energy, drawing ambitious dreamers from around the world. The country's second-largest city runs on a confluence of contrast. The Gothic spires of the Duomo pierce the sky beside futuristic skyscrapers. Leonardo da Vinci's The Last Supper shares the artistic landscape with one of the earliest waves of modern street art. A centuries-old flea market thrives a short walk from the national stock exchange. Storied fashion houses share the spotlight with next-generation streetwear. Through it all, locals from across the city join in the evening ritual of aperitivo, creating moments of connection that bind the city together. LOST iN connects you with the local voices who define Milan's identity. See the city through the eyes of a visionary design duo. Feel the urban canvas with a street art pioneer. Reframe the familiar with a creative who blurs the lines between commercial and subversive work. Along the way, you'll uncover spaces that shift your perspective: a skyscraper transformed into a vertical forest, a cocktail bar tucked inside a motorcycle shop, a fashion boutique housed in a converted convent, and even a preserved villa that starred in House of Gucci. If Rome embodies the grandeur of empire and Florence the spark of the Renaissance, Milan is the engine of modern Italy. It's where art, fashion, finance, design and dreams all converge to shape the future. Get lost in the creative energy. Get lost in Milan.

The Future of Travel
A leading food and travel journalist depicts and predicts the good, the bad, and the ugly about the future of travel -- and how we can transcend the complications of climate change, AI, and touristification . . . Travel is easier, more accessible, and more tempting than ever before in today's world. But what impact is our globetrotting having on localcommunities and the environment? From his own experiences spending time in countries from Spain to Argentina to Japan, travel writer Daniel Maurer has seen first-hand the impact of growing cultural homogenization and anger at the tourists driving it. Speaking to locals and immigrants, activists and protestors, he hears of the problems of rising living costs, overcrowding, anti-social behaviour and the erosion of local traditions and ways of life caused by overtourism. Some cities already have plans in place to combat it, including tourist taxes, carbon emission targets and airbnb bans, and in the coming years, more will take drastic measures to tackle not only a flood of tourists but of a growing worldwide workforce of "location-independent professionals." Technological advances are also changing the way we interact with the world, and the future promises amazing things from flying cars to VRheadsets to AI travel influencers and chatbots. But there's a constant battle between technology making things more easily accessible, and theneed to reduce human impact on the world. What choices might we make when it comes to travelling in the future, and can we become more impact-conscious, making more sustainable andthoughtful decisions?

Zorba's Parthenon.
In the sleepy Greek fishing village of Telios, life moves at its own pace, somewhere between "ma簽ana" and "maybe next month." But when the village's beloved taverna is forced to close under a ludicrous new "Five-Metre Rule," peace by the sea suddenly becomes a battle for the soul of the community.Peter Barber and his gloriously Greek wife, Alex, came to Telios in search of tranquillity and found everything but. At the heart of their adopted village stood Zorba's Taverna. A ramshackle haven of gossip, grilled sardines, and arguments that always ended with laughter (and too much tsipouro). When bureaucracy shutters its doors, Alex leads a hilariously improbable mission to reopen it as a cooperative, recruiting an unforgettable cast: Theodora the matriarch, Dimitri the philosopher-fisherman, Maria the gossip oracle, Claude the poetic Frenchman, and one mischievous goat with a sense of entitlement.As the villagers rally, bicker, and bake their way through inspections, storms, and each other, Zorba's Parthenon becomes a love letter to Greece itself, a place where everything works, just not the way you expect.Blending memoir and comic fiction, Peter Barber's latest book captures the heart, humour, and humanity of Greek village life: its beauty, its madness, and the impossible charm that keeps you coming back.If it didn't happen this way, it should have.

The History of Greenland
Greenland's Frozen Legacy: From Ancient Migrations to Colonial Frontiers"The History of Greenland" invites readers into a land of stark beauty and unyielding challenges, where indigenous cultures and European settlers forged resilient societies amid ice and isolation. From prehistoric ice sheets teeming with wildlife to Norse voyages braving Atlantic perils, this book evokes the emotional grit of adaptation and the high stakes of survival that defined a remote world's history.It opens with Greenland's ancient formation, exploring climate shifts and natural environments before human arrival. Early chapters trace Paleo-Eskimo migrations from Arctic North America, detailing tools and hunting strategies against icy hardships.Saqqaq culture emerges with stone blades and seasonal movements, while Independence I and II groups adapt to High Arctic extremes. Dorset legacies transition to Thule people's advanced methods, using sleds and umiaks to expand and lay Inuit foundations.Norse eras begin with Eric the Red's discovery, establishing farms tied to European trade. Daily life revolves around livestock and churches, with walrus ivory sustaining connections despite navigation dangers.Challenges mount as climate cools, isolating settlements and leading to their decline. Inuit communities persist with kayaks and spiritual traditions, encountering European whalers in fleeting trades.Missionaries like Hans Egede introduce Lutheranism, blending with local ways through stations. Danish influence grows via trading companies, formalizing authority amid Inuit adaptations.Eighteenth-century missions expand settlements, with hunting and trade shaping routines under monopolies. Nineteenth-century whaling and explorations intensify, as scientific expeditions map the unknown.Daily social structures highlight family roles in subsistence, with education hinting at governance shifts. By century's end, debates over trade and councils signal emerging voices, balancing tradition with outside ideas.Comparable to Finn Gad's "The History of Greenland," which weaves indigenous and colonial threads into a scholarly narrative, this volume aligns with 2025 trends in polar histories emphasizing environmental resilience and cultural heritage. Its broad marketability appeals to adventurers, students, and eco-conscious readers, promising steady sales for bookstores in history and exploration sections. By highlighting stakes like harmony with nature amid isolation and innovation through hardship, it connects readers to Greenland's enduring spirit, inspiring reflection on how ancient adaptations echo in today's changing climate.

Thrilling Cities
A CAPTIVATING JOURNEY AROUND THE WORLD FROM THE CREATOR OF JAMES BONDIan Fleming's world travels and interests, as well as his journalism and wartime experiences, lent authority to everything he wrote. In 1959, the Sunday Times commissioned Fleming to write a series of dispatches from the world's most beguiling locales. The result was Thrilling Cities, a masterpiece of well-observed travelogue that stands ably alongside the author's Bond canon.From Hong Kong to Honolulu, New York to Naples, he left the bright main streets for the back alleys, abandoning tourist sites in favor of underground haunts, and mingling with celebrities, gangsters and geishas. The result is a series of vivid snapshots of a mysterious, vanished world from a twentieth century Western perspective.Just like his most famous fictional creation, Ian Fleming was a well-traveled man of the world who knew where to go to find excitement, adventure...and danger. In Thrilling Cities, he takes us along on a journey of international intrigue worthy of James Bond.
