Book SynopsisCulture and nature tours through the Bergisches Land Holidays in between can be so beautiful... Forests, meadows, water, paths - here you can relax and clear your head for what life is worth. Annette Schelb and Werner Lütz were out and about to capture the special features of this area in words and pictures. Germany's region with the most dams is more than an Eldorado for games, sports and relaxing bathing in natural water. It is pure relaxation. Beautiful hiking and adventure routes lead through dense forests and lush meadows. Those who like it really mountainous are particularly well served in Oberbergisches. Gourmets love pleasure tours in the region's temples of pleasure, which have been awarded multiple stars. Cycling enthusiasts can cover long distances on a well-developed network of cycle paths (partly on paths that have been converted for use by cyclists) and conquer one or the other summit. Families will find everything their heart desires. And the Bergische Drei have a lot of history and culture to offer in addition to the black and white half-timbered houses that can be seen everywhere, and also a very special charm of industrial culture and nature - also in the cities. And all around anyway. The author has expanded her tour experiences with personal highlights, extensive information on sights, interesting facts and places to stop off, as well as regional background information. The photos not only spice up the adventure guide, but also show the region in all its diversity and beauty, old walls and villas are included as well as pictures of nature and tour impressions. PUBLICPRESS added height profiles, GPS coordinates and maps in proven quality. The result is a helpful compendium for people who want to take a (short) vacation, relax, enjoy and experience this beautiful region.

Book SynopsisFor a long time the Elbe stood in the shadow of Father Rhine, but now its time has come! It is being discovered more and more as a stream with a river landscape that is as grandiose as it is dynamic, rich in vastness, stillness and beauty. The UNESCO biosphere reserve "Middle Elbe" is like a string of pearls in which places of world importance and UNESCO World Heritage sites are lined up. As the last major river that has so far been spared from canalization, the Elbe can still live out its ups and downs freely and change its face every day. Lined by sandy shores and rustic alluvial forests, inhabited by beavers, eagles and storks, this landscape is considered an ark of diversity, the "silverware" of German unity. The author of the “3in1 travel guide for the Middle Elbe Biosphere Reserve”, Dr. Ernst Paul Dorfler, is itself a child of the Elbe. He takes his readers into a world of amazement and wonder. Here, on the Elbe in Magdeburg, the first German Emperor had his residence 1000 years ago; A new age began in Wittenberg 500 years ago with the Reformation by Luther; 200 years ago, a Garden Kingdom of Enlightenment was created in Dessau-Wörlitz in the Principality of Anhalt, which today attracts a million visitors every year. With 7 hiking tours and 15 bike tours, the author cheerfully takes his readers on a journey through the region. It makes them curious about their surroundings and at the same time sharpens their senses for the previously unseen in nature and landscape. the first German emperor had his residence 1000 years ago; A new age began in Wittenberg 500 years ago with the Reformation by Luther; 200 years ago, a Garden Kingdom of Enlightenment was created in Dessau-Wörlitz in the Principality of Anhalt, which today attracts a million visitors every year.

Book SynopsisNoyan 20152022 is the first photo book by Zürich-based photographer Noah Noyan Wenzinger. It's the story of a young man coming of age, carrying his handy point-and-shoot camera around with him everywhere he goes to capture all sorts of different goings-on in his very own way. The protagonists are Noyan's close friends, keeping him company, inspiring him and growing up with him. His visual idiom is hard to categorize, for it's an amalgam of diverse influences from the worlds of cinema, music and gaming, as well as photographers like Nan Goldin, Sandy Kim and Walter Pfeiffer, his role models. Noyan's work is clearly about Zürich, and yet its inside look at the world of Switzerland's Generations Y and Z, aka millennials and zoomers, is not typically Swiss at allwhether in terms of pictorial content or form. And it's precisely this contrast that makes the project appealing and meaningful. Noyan 20152022 is a very personal selection culled from an already extensive archive, which the artist keeps at his Zürich home. It includes photographic documentation of his day-to-day life, shots of nightlife, concerts and vacations and even some music video stills. The book is rounded out by 16 drawings by Noah Stark (aka Clutterstew), who puts his idiosyncratic mark on everything he lays his hands on. The two artists are old friends with plenty of shared interests, aesthetics and stories to tell.

Book SynopsisText in English & German. The "other Italy", that is the rural Italy, far from the bustle of the cities. It is the Italy of the Apennines, its natural scenery, its remote villages, churches and religious communities, its farmers, charcoal burners, shepherds and fishermen -- even if these old professions are now dwindling away. The author has travelled hundreds of kilometres through this rural Italy on foot, and travelled thousands of kilometres through it by car. Although he was acting in a professional capacity as a geologist, his interests went beyond this wonderful country's geology to embrace everything it had to offer. In the year 1959, he embarked on ten years working in Liguria (north of Genoa) and twenty years in Calabria, on the toe of the Italian "boot", on the flank of the Aspromonte facing the Ionic Sea. Further visits to both areas up to the present day have contributed to his fifty-year relationship with Italy, and a body of Italian experiences which was simply begging to be set down with accompanying pictures. Eight stories tell of the land and the people, of the wild landscape of Calabria and its Mafia, of rural festivals, Christmas customs, Italian food, abandoned farms -- and of "Nonno", a grand-father. A wealth of photographs, mainly in colour, join with the stories in encouraging the reader to forsake bathing holidays and art tourism and take a trip to a near and yet distant land.

Book SynopsisThe Gstaad enjoys a high level of prestige and international renown. In spite of this, it has remained truly Alpine, with its charming chalets and authentic traditions like cheesemaking over wood fires. Or as acting legend Julie Andrews once said: "Gstaad is the last paradise in a crazy world". The region has a further 9 chalet villages alongside Gstaad, located at an altitude of between 1,000 and 1,400 metres. According to legend, God wanted to take a short rest whilst creating the world. The imprint of his hand thus shaped the Saanenland region. His five fingers formed the valleys, with Gstaad nestling in their midst. And Alpine villages lie among the lakes and mountains. Gstaad has 200 farms, 80 of which still use Alpine pastures and around 7,000 cows in the region. At the same time, a range of diverse leisure amenities such as tennis championships, music festivals, beach volleyball, polo matches and country and western music events in summer and in winter.
