Book I LOVE MI  How to Travel in Milan like a Local

Download or read book I LOVE MI How to Travel in Milan like a Local written by Sarah Brambilla Fumagalli and published by HOW2 Edizioni. This book was released on 2015-02-13 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dear Visitors, Please allow me to give a brief introduction to this guide, I LOVE MI, so you can get the most out of it. The purpose of this guide is to take you by the hand and walk you through Milan, whether you are visiting the city for the first time or have lived here your whole life and want to rediscover the city as if for the first time. This guide is divided into five chapters, each of which will ideally correspond to a day of sightseeing. The first four chapters are dedicated to different zones: the first day we will visit Milan’s heart, Piazza Duomo; the second day, the Sempione district; on the third day we will stroll (or ride a bike) around Navigli; and on the fourth we will walk from Brera to Porta Venezia. The fifth day is included for the visitor to have the opportunity to see different attractions scattered around the city: from Bicocca district to Centrale and Porta Garibaldi, from Segrate to San Siro. The guide is structured in five days, however it is not meant as a strictly organised holiday plan. Instead I will try to present almost everything you can do and see in each district, so you can choose what you’re most interested in visiting. I LOVE MI offers an abundance of attractions not mentioned in other guides: the Children’s Museum at La Rotonda della Besana, the interactive exhibition “Dialogue in the Dark” at the Institute for the Blind, the young and alternative Bicocca district... But that’s enough talk: it’s now time to put on our most comfy shoes, fill our water bottles and set out. I’ll meet you guys in front of the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, in Piazza Duomo. Bon voyage!

Book Marco Polo Didn t Go There

Download or read book Marco Polo Didn t Go There written by Rolf Potts and published by Travelers' Tales. This book was released on 2009-04-01 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marco Polo Didn’t Go There is a collection of rollicking travel tales from a young writer USA Today has called “Jack Kerouac for the Internet Age.” For the past ten years, Rolf Potts has taken his keen postmodern travel sensibility into the far fringes of five continents for such prestigious publications as National Geographic Traveler, Salon.com, and The New York Times Magazine. This book documents his boldest, funniest, and most revealing journeys—from getting stranded without water in the Libyan desert, to crashing the set of a Leonardo DiCaprio movie in Thailand, to learning the secrets of Tantric sex in a dubious Indian ashram. Marco Polo Didn’t Go There is more than just an entertaining journey into fascinating corners of the world. The book is a unique window into travel writing, with each chapter containing a “commentary track”—endnotes that reveal the ragged edges behind the experience and creation of each tale. Offbeat and insightful, this book is an engrossing read for students of travel writing as well as armchair wanderers.

Download or read book Il Bel Centro written by Michelle Damiani and published by Rialto Press. This book was released on 2020-08-09 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A witty and warm-hearted memoir of abandoning fast-paced American days in favor of discovering the Italian secrets of food, community, and life. Moving across the globe meant Michelle Damiani soon found herself untangling Italian customs, delighting in glorious regional cuisine (recipes included), and creating lasting friendships. From grandmothers eager to teach the ancient art of pasta making, to bakers tossing bread into fiery ovens with a song, to butchers extolling the benefits of pork fat, Il Bel Centro is rich with captivating characters and cultural insights. Throw in clinking glasses of Umbrian red with the local communists and a village all-nighter decorating the cobblestone streets with flower petals; as well as embarrassing language minefields and a serious summons to the mayor’s office, and you have all the ingredients for a spellbinding travel tale. Exquisitely observed, Il Bel Centro is an intimate celebration of small town Italy, as well as a thoughtful look at raising a family in a new culture and a fascinating story of finding a home. Ultimately though, this is a story about how travel can change you when you’re ready to let it. With laugh-out-loud situations and wanderlust-inspiring storytelling, Il Bel Centro is a joyous and life-affirming read that will have readers rushing to renew their passports. “This is one of the most beautiful book I’ve ever read.” “I absolutely couldn’t get enough of this book.” “This book made me want to pack my bags.” “I loved, loved this book.

Book Learning for a Complex World

Download or read book Learning for a Complex World written by Norman J Jackson and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011-09-16 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book has been primarily written for people who are interested and involved in helping students maximise the learning and development they gain from their higher education experience. The authors contributing to this book hope that their attempt to examine and give practical meaning to the idea of lifewideness makes sense to you and helps you support and facilitate development of people in your professional context. We hope also that it might have meaning for you in your own life. The book is also written for people who are helping higher education institutions develop a better understanding of the ways in which students engage in and are shaped by their whole life experience while they are studying. And for those people who are trying to bring about change in institutional practice, particularly those who are finding it challenging, we hope the contributions in this book will reinforce your conviction that this is a worthwhile thing to do. In recent years, Universities in the UK have been encouraged to evaluate what they do through the lens of the students' experience. This has resulted in an increasing institutional interest and awareness in the way in which students integrate higher education with their life beyond the campus. Student Support Services in some universities have been inspired by the visionary report ‘Learning Reconsidered: A Campus-wide Focus on the Student Experience’ (NASPA and ACPA 2004). We hope that this book will encourage and be of value to those who make decisions or who create policies relating to the student experience.
