Remote Places to Stay Vol. 2
As modern life accelerates, the yearning to escape--to travel farther, stay longer, and reconnect with something elemental--has become a powerful force. Remote Places to Stay Vol. 2 presents a new collection of extraordinary retreats in far-flung corners of the globe, where adventure and tranquility coexist. From secluded cabins high in the mountains to coastal hideaways on windswept shores, these destinations redefine the essence of travel. Accessible only by footpaths, small planes, or winding waterways, each location immerses visitors in its surroundings' raw beauty and quiet majesty. Thoughtfully designed and deeply connected to their landscapes, these escapes invite travelers to see the world with fresh perspective and intention. This book is an invitation to rediscover the art of stillness--of inhabiting places that leave an indelible mark. It celebrates travel as a more profound, mindful endeavor, where remarkable settings and inspired design combine to inspire, restore, and transform.

The Feminist Art of Walking
The allure of the city is powerful but not universally accessible. For many women, it can be exclusionary, exploitative and dangerous. In The Feminist Art of Walking, Morag Rose shows how women can and do claim their place in the public space. Setting off to explore cities and towns across Britain, she traces local histories and personal stories and attunes herself to the broader resonances of women's rights amidst alienating capitalist cityscapes. Craving connection and comradeship, she discovers a unique and inclusive approach to walking, celebrating diverse women who transform walking into an art form and act of resistance. By experiencing the pleasures and pains of urban exploration, she shows us how to reconnect with and become enchanted by our streets.
