Whether the Hamptons, Miami Beach, Cairo or the Amazon - the list of holiday resorts that have made history around the globe is long and legendary. Many of the places are familiar from films and books, Casablanca or the famous Montego Bay in the Bahamas, where James Bond took his martini. As early as the end of the the 19th century, travellers were already staying at the Banff Springs Hotel in Canada. The first cruise on the Nile was already organised around 1873. This book takes you to all those holiday destinations around the world that have a particularly long history of tourism and which still delight us today with wonderful retro moments.

Whether Usedom, Davos or Attersee - Germany, Austria and Switzerland are rich in legendary holiday resorts. The haunts of Europe's high society were already in the 19th century in the sophisticated spas and seaside resorts on the North and Baltic Seas. In the ski resorts of the Alps and the low mountain ranges, people practised winter sports early on. And artists like Johannes Brahms and Gustav Mahler were drawn to the Austrian Riviera, as Lake Wörthersee was called back then. This book sets out on a search for traces. What is still to be found from those days when tourism was still in its infancy? It quickly awakens a longing to visit the holiday resorts of yore again.

As lovely today as then –Legendary holiday resorts in France

From Deauville in Normandy to the Cap d’Antibes in the deep South – legendary French holiday resorts dot the country like a string of pearls. Bohemians in Paris took their holidays on the Normandy coast as early as the late 1800s; from the 1930s, Picasso and Matisse succumbed to the charms of the Côte d’Azur; people hoped to find healing cures thanks to the miraculous waters in spa towns like Vichy and Dax. This book presents the remains of the good old days when Marcel Proust holidayed in Cabourg and people gathered for a round of blackjack at the Hotel Negresco in Nice. It will quickly kindle the desire to relive today the French holiday moments of days gone by.

As lovely today as then –Legendary holiday resorts in Italy

Like no other country, Italy captured the popular imagination as a dream holiday destination from the 1950s onwards. A boot-shaped land of longing and a cornucopia of dreams. Their cars stacked to the roof, everyone went to ‘the land where the lemons grow’. The Adriatic coast, Capri and Cortina d'Ampezzo in particular appealed to the early holidaymakers. Meran, Venice and Florence, meanwhile, had attracted educated citizens from all over Europe who were enchanted with these cities’ cultural treasures from the late 1800s. This book retraces the beginnings of tourism to Italy. Read it and you’ll experience ‘bella Italia’ nostalgia in its purest form.

All the happiness in the world

Everyone strives for happiness – Aristotle already knew that. But what exactly is happiness? And can you measure it? A journey to the 30 happiest countries in the world brings this abstract topic closer to the reader. We look at happiness from three different perspectives. Based on the World Happiness Report, a scientific report commissioned by the WHO which ranks countries according to people’s life satisfaction, the book presents the 30 happiest countries. Authors and local heroes tell us how they experience their own happiness in each respective country.

TERRA MAXIMA

If the termite were a human, its structures would be twice as high as Mount Etna in Sicily … Our world is full of wonders and they are all waiting to be discovered! Nature’s many different habitats are home to countless animal and plant species records – superlatives which at times we only become aware of when we compare them with human achievements. In the air, we follow the flight of the largest, fastest and most resilient birds, while in the seas, we encounter huge whales and fish – and it can all be recorded in numbers and statistics, yet the true achievements of the sea giants and why they don’t sink are easier to understand if we take a close look at the technical data for ships and submarines.

The UNESCO World Heritage Convention turns 50! Our volume celebrates this anniversary not only with its particularly splendid presentation, but also with a large, informative special on UNESCO’s work and captivating articles on Intangible Heritage. Each year since 1972, UNESCO has been adding further important cultural monuments and natural treasures to the global list of world heritage sites. The international convention provides special protection and preservation for heritage sites all over the world. In view of the dangers to which many ecosystems are exposed and the risk of losing cultural vestiges, this comprehensive volume demonstrates convincingly why these sites need to be protected.

UNESCO Natural Heritage

The last remaining animal paradises on earth, magnificent geological formations and outstanding natural landscapes represent a unique treasure and are today under the protection of the world community. In view of the progressive destruction of the environment around the world, the International Convention concerning the Protection of the World’s Cultural and Natural Heritage was passed in Paris in 1972 by the General Conference of UNESCO. This volume presents all World Natural Heritage sites in detailed texts and impressive colour photos.

Monumental

The iridescent play of light through Gothic tracery windows. Skyscrapers gleaming in chrome. The stirring simplicity of a Cistercian abbey. The worn steps of a Mayan pyramid. Church vaults reaching for the sky. Indian temples rich in detailed reliefs. Buildings move us, protect us, and give us places for prayer and devotion, for political debate and for artistic expression. Over the course of the millennia, humankind has created lasting architectural masterpieces, stone witnesses of epochs and rulers, of times and mores.
