In Bucharest, Romania's capital, Kaplan discovered that few Westerners were reporting on the country - one of the darkest corners of Europe during the Cold War. In an intense and cinematic travelogue, Kaplan explores the history and culture of the only country in the West where the leading intellectuals have been right-wing rather than left-wing; a country that gave rise to the dictator Ion Antonescu, Hitler's chief foreign accomplice during WWII; a country where the Latin West mixes with the Greek East, producing a fascinating fusion of cultures.

Tania Aebi was an unambitious 18-year-old, a bicycle messenger in New York City by day, a Lower East Side barfly at night. In short, she was going nowhere - until her father offered her a challenge: Tania could choose either a college education or a 26-foot sloop. The only catch was that if she chose the sailboat, she'd have to sail around the world - alone. She chose the boat, and for the next two and a half years and 27,000 miles, it was her home. 

Cheese Trekking recounts the author’s experiences visiting pastoral communities and cheesemakers in various countries and explains how cheeses can be local manifestations while also representing global archetypes, strategies that have been adopted in many places. It describes the constellations (a range of complementary milk foods that utilize all byproducts of cheesemaking) of various regions through a wide-angle lens. The central premise is that milk has a terroir, born from the plants and ecology of a landscape, that is concentrated via ruminant digestion and lactation.

L'autrice, la scrittrice scozzese Nan Shepherd, lo ha esplorato per tutta la vita, percorrendolo in lungo e in largo in un eterno ritornare, scoprire, ricordare. Muoversi negli spazi di queste montagne significa per lei entrare in contatto con la vera essenza della natura e di se stessi. In quel moto che è al tempo stesso contemplazione, i sensi si acuiscono per percepire suoni, colori, profumi e consistenze e la mente li accompagna, dapprima rapita e poi forte di una nuova consapevolezza.

O caldeirão da Velha Chica e outras histórias brasileiras, de Alexandre Staut, traz uma pesquisa informal e apaixonada sobre alimentação popular brasileira, que dura mais de 15 anos.

Today, there are more borders in the world than ever before in human history. In this audiobook, James Crawford argues that our enduring obsession with borders has brought us to a crisis point: that we are entering the endgame of a process that began thousands of years ago, when we first started dividing up the earth. Beginning with the earliest known marker which denoted the end of one land and the beginning of the next, James follows the story of borders into our fragile and uncertain future.

In 2015, I finally decided to put down in writing all the experiences encountered on my journey, not least my admiration for India, it's people, and it's culture.
