Story
Switzerland is a remarkable country, half of whose territory lies in the Alps. This is the history of one Swiss alpine village. Raising cattle and making cheese brought modest wealth to its struggling peasants until a destructive Napoleonic invasion brought revolution and poverty. Well-being was slowly restored by a democratic unification of Switzerland. The Alps took on a romantic tourist glow in the Edwardian age and after the disruptions of two world wars the highland farmers and guest house keeps began to prosper.

Story
From autumn 2018 to spring 2019, British journalist Stephen Powell traveled the length of Portugal, following a zigzag path of nearly 1,500 kilometers on foot. Away from the mass tourism, he wanted to form his own unhurried impressions of this very distinctive country. He discovered a very mixed reality. The dark side was the blight of rural exodus that is emptying so many villages. But he also found a profoundly generous, warm-hearted people with time to converse—a gift that is not found everywhere.

Story
Committed Belgophile and road cycling obsessive Harry Pearson takes you on a journey across Flanders - through the lumpy horizontal rain, up the elbow-juddering cobbled inclines, past the fans dressed as chickens and the shop window displays of constipation medicines as he follows races big, small and even smaller, through one glorious, muddy spring. Ranging over 500 years of Flemish and European history, Pearson examines the characters, the myths and the rivalries that make Flanders a place where cycling is a religion and the riders its Lycra-clad priests.

In 2016, while working as a journalist in Yangon, Clare Hammond discovered an obscure map that showed a web of new railways spanning the length and breadth of the country - railways not shown on any other publicly available maps. She was determined to uncover the railways' origins, purpose, and most of all, the silence that surrounded them.

Story
This thoughtful examination of a century of travel writing about the American West overturns a variety of popular and academic stereotypes. Looking at both European and American travelers' accounts of the West, from de Tocqueville's Democracy in America to William Least Heat-Moon's Blue Highways, David Wrobel offers a counternarrative to the nation's romantic entanglement with its Western past and suggests the importance of some long-overlooked authors, lively and perceptive witnesses to our history who deserve new attention.

Story
Вечный город! "Вечным" его называли еще в I веке до нашей эры, когда ему было около семисот лет. Столица Италии неумолимо приближается к празднованию своего 2800-летия, которое состоится в апреле 2047 года. В наше стремительное время существуют обзорные экскурсии "Весь Рим за один день". Но провести в Риме всего день и что-то понять невозможно — все равно, что выучить за день весь курс высшей математики. Не обольщайтесь и не будете разочарованы. Рим открывается не сразу и открывается только сведущим. Открывается и затягивает.

Es sind unerhörte Episoden, die Ulrich Wickert aus Frankreichs Geschichte und Gegenwart zu erzählen weiß. Er spannt einen weiten historischen Bogen und lässt es sich nicht nehmen, eine Fülle von komischen wie nachdenklich stimmenden Erfahrungen auszubreiten. Mit dem ihm eigenen Witz und mit pointierter Ironie wägt Wickert ab, was die Franzosen so liebenswert macht und weswegen man ihrer bisweilen überdrüssig ist. "Vom Glück, Franzose zu sein" - lauter wahre Begebenheiten, die so unglaublich klingen, als handelten sie von einem unbekannten Land: von Frankreich.

. Decades of incremental changes created a distinctive watercraft, and the steamboat became perfectly suited to the conditions of the western rivers, transforming the west from a wilderness into a place of economic significance. In The Western River Steamboat, nautical archaeologist Adam I. Kane traces the development of this once commonplace vessel. Kane describes the importance and impact of the steamboat in American history and complements his historical analysis with clear, concise technical explanations of the construction and evolution of western river steamboats.
