Renowned and much-loved travel writer Jan Morris turns her eye to Sydney: 'not the best of the cities the British Empire created ... but the most hyperbolic, the youngest at heart, the shiniest.' Sydney takes us on the city's journey from penal colony to world-class metropolis, as lively and charming as the city it describes. With characteristic exuberance and sparkling prose, Jan Morris guides us through the history, people and geography of a fascinating and colourful city. Jan Morris's collection of travel writing and reportage spans over five decades and includes such titles as Venice, Hong Kong, Spain, Manhattan '45, A Writer's World and the Pax Britannica Trilogy. Hav, her novel, was shortlisted for the Booker Prize and the Arthur C. Clarke Award. 'Sydney should be flattered. A great portrait painter has chosen it for her recent subject . . . Few writers - a handful of novelists apart - have got so far under the city's skin as Morris . . . Few Sydneysiders could match her knowledge of their city's history and its anecdotes' The Times 'The writing is, at times, like surfing: sentences rise like vast waves above which she rides, never overbalancing into gush . . . Jan Morris convincingly explains modern Sydney through its history' Observer

If anyone has a detailed account of The Sweet’s career in the seventies, look no further than Jan Frewer. Jan had been the bassist and vocalist for sixties band Wainwright’s Gentleman, who for a while included lead vocalist Ian Gillan. Gillan was replaced by Brian Connolly, who along with the band’s drummer Mick Tucker went on to form The Sweet.

Seit mehr als 40 Jahren befasst sich der Architekt und Stadtplaner Jan Gehl damit, Plätze, Straßen, ja ganze Stadtviertel zum Wohle der Bewohner neu oder umzugestalten. Er stützt sich dabei auf Erkenntnisse, die er durch langjährige Untersuchungen von Großstadtsituationen in verschiedenen Ländern gewonnen hat. Indem Gehl selbst Millionenstädte kleinmaßstäblich und im Detail betrachtet, entwickelt er Mittel und Wege, dysfunktionale und unwirtliche Stadtlandschaften entscheidend zu verändern. Dabei finden demografische Entwicklungen und sich wandelnde Lebensstile ebenso Berücksichtigung wie gestalterische Prozesse. Wichtigster Grundsatz für Jan Gehls Stadtplanung nach menschlichem Maß: Der Stadtraum muss mit der Geschwindigkeit eines Fußgängers erlebt werden statt aus einem Fahrzeug heraus. Nur so kann es gelingen, sowohl traditionelle Metropolen wie die schnell wachsenden Städte von Entwicklungs- und Schwellenländern zu Städten für Menschen zu machen. Das Buch präsentiert Jan Gehls Arbeit im Bereich Neubau sowie der Umgestaltung städtischer Räume und Verkehrsflächen. Darstellungen seiner Planungsmodelle in Text und Bildern sowie Planungsprinzipien und Methoden veranschaulichen, wie einfach lebendige, sichere, nachhaltige und gesunde Städte in Zukunft entstehen können.
