This book was released on 2022-04-22 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Step into the beauty, culture, history, and lifestyle of capital cities around the world through photography and short story. In this ode to capital cities, the Travel is Life Creators showcase 118 cities from every continent, including Antarctica!  The best way to begin traveling a country is from its capital city. You can get anywhere from the capital. Capital cities are the melting pots of countries that bring their culture and people together from all walks of life. They are where countries unite and history happens. Capital cities are often overlooked and underappreciated on travel itineraries. They become a placemark on a map to catch a connecting flight or a destination in which to spend a night recovering from jet lag after leaving one time zone and entering another. There are countless travel books about where to go after the capital city... like the beaches, mountains, pueblos, wonders of the world, and everything in between. And don't get me wrong -- I love visiting those places and reading those books too. However, I wanted to create a book that explored the capital cities themselves, which are equally special, but don't always get as much attention. This book is my ode to capital cities, but since I've only been to tens of capital cities myself, I asked for help from my friends. In this book, a group of professional travel bloggers and I, collectively called Travel is Life Creators, have showcased 118 capital cities from every continent in the world (including Antarctica). Our mission was not to create a travel guide, but instead, to capture the culture, history, and lifestyle of capital cities through photography and short story. I hope that reading this book will allow you to step into each capital city through the eyes and lens of each photographer and writer so that you can see, hear, touch, taste, smell, and experience that city, even if just for a brief moment, before traveling to the next page.

Download or read book Bullshit Comparisons written by Andrew Brooks and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2024-06-06 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bullshit Comparisons will challenge the way you think about rankings, charts and other marketing and political tools designed to create odious and dangerous comparisons. Is Boris Johnson really like Winston Churchill? Are electric cars actually greener than petrol ones? Which is the world's most successful university? Is Lisbon the new Barcelona? Should we compare the achievements of younger and older siblings even when we know it damages their self-worth? We make comparisons every day, but how helpful are they? Looking across a dazzling range of situations both familiar and unfamiliar, Bullshit Comparisons is a ground-breaking examination of the role of comparison in modern society, illuminated by examples spanning from the FIFA World Footballer of the year, to wine-tasting in London, hospital care in Sierra Leone and avocado farming in Colombia. Challenging us to think critically about the use of comparison through accessible, personal, and often amusing research, Andrew Brooks reveals the uses and abuses of comparisons in a book that isn't like anything else you have read.
