Описание: Monocle --the magazine that covers urbanism
and city design like no other --knows
about the hidden gems in all the great cities.
It also knows where to take an ambassador
for breakfast, an on-the-go business partner
for a late-night cocktail, or where to get an
astute concierge at ungodly hours. Its deep
understanding of cities, and all they have to
offer, has now been compiled in The Monocle
Travel Guide Series.
The series launched in spring 2015 with
editions for London, New York, Tokyo,
and Hong Kong. This autumn they will be
joined by Singapore, Istanbul, Madrid, and
Portland, Oregon. These beautiful informative
books reveal the Monocle team's favorite
places, from the ideal route for an early
morning run to the best spots for independent
retail.
Aimed at people who do not want to be
tourists but rather feel like locals when
they travel, these are books for those who
want to mix the classic with the contemporary,
want to get beyond the cliches, and
know they can get a feel for a city even if
they only have a few days to spare.
And they are full of surprises and quirks:
the books will direct you to a grand hotel
but also to a cozy two-star, and will leave
you drinking in a neighborhood corner
bar or being served by a great waiter who
knows his craft. Each book also contains a
series of city essays and perspectives.
Created by the Monocle design team,
these authoritative guides are trim enough
to drop into your pocket and wise enough to
stay by your side throughout your travels

Описание: In this vibrant large-format manual, discover and explore good food and its power to shape both people and places. If Monocle were a restaurant it would be where local produce is simply prepared, wine is served without fuss, and all are welcome. It would anchor the neighborhood, support young chefs, and none would worry about Michelin stars. This world of slowish food and pleasures informs the forthcoming guide to food and drink. As with much of Monocle's work, it inspires those who would like to rescue a forlorn vineyard or corner store while revealing the best market in Helsinki or café in Auckland. It speaks to a global generation who may hold an MBA but feel that a decent burger chain is the way ahead. From famed faces sharing tales over supper to anecdotes from raconteurs and a sprinkling of recipes, our Edited bys have prepared a truly nourishing experience. Hungry for more?

Описание: What characteristics and values define a country? Which countries are particularly successful in terms of education, economics, or culture? In this book, Monocle provides a global perspective on the distinct qualities of nations.
Monocle's books with Gestalten have shown you how to build a better life, business, and home. But now Monocle raises the bar: how do you run a great country? They are not talking about might, muscle, or nationalism --although you need a bit of a swagger every now and then. They are talking about a country that feels like a cohesive community, knows what to value, and goes out into the world to gently get its way with soft power, fine ambassadors, and compelling cultural offerings. At home, this country celebrates good education, well-made institutions, and its own people and their skills.
How to Run a Nation: A Monocle Guide is a thought-provoking primer that informs and inspires. The best ideas don't need to be invented --they need to be found and copied. Let Monocle be your guide.

Описание: Its unique personality finds expression in everything from the fairytale architecture of modernisme patriarch Antoni Gaudi to the neighbourhoodwide street parties celebrating the likes of local saints and a love of reading. Here's to a city of effortless charm, a coastal gem blessed with an agreeable climate and beautiful beaches. But before you get lost in that glass of vermut, look around. There's more to the Catalan capital than sun, sea and sand - starting with its diet-dashing food scene and lively hospitality offerings. Barcelona boasts a singular character, proudly guarded and shaped over the centuries. From the sovereign and seafaring years of the ancient Principality of Catalonia to the 1992 Olympics, it has long been a forwardthinking, enterprising and vibrant city. We've ventured beyond the tourist-beaten tracks of Barri Gotic and explored every nook, from Sant Andreu to Poble-sec. We've found independent retailers and grand fashion labels that abound with dynamic designs, as well as old-world tapas bars and innovative new spots bringing a modern touch to Catalan cuisine. And don't worry, we haven't eschewed the beach and bottle entirely - there's always time for those in this city. The magazine Monocle covers the world with its network of bureaus in New York, Toronto, Zurich, Hong Kong, Istanbul, Tokyo, and Singapore. It also employs more than 30 dedicated correspondents--in cities from Bangkok to Bogota, Sao Paolo to Stockholm--as well as a team of on-the-road reporters based out of its headquarters in London. This team's deep understanding of cities and all they have to offer has now been compiled in The Monocle Travel Guide Series.

Описание: Monocle reports from around the globe. As its Edited bys and correspondents dart from city to city, they get to know the best places to rest their heads, stretch their limbs, and kick back with a contact in a hard-to-find cocktail bar. That information is now available in The Monocle Travel Guide Series: a line-up of titles that speaks to readers in an informed but informal way about everything from architecture to art, late-night bars to early-morning markets. Designed to be compact and collectible, these books go beyond the traditional tourist beats to make sure visitors get the best out of a city --no matter how short their stay. The guides are also discerning: they will not list a hundred places to eat, but they will focus on what is best for any occasion.
