Nigeria Bok
<p><strong><em>The Passenger</em> collects the best new writing, photography, and reportage from around the world. Its aim, to break down barriers and introduce the essence of the place. Packed with essays and investigative journalism; original photography and illustrations; charts, and unusual facts and observations, each volume offers a unique insight into a different culture, and how history has shaped the place into what it is today. </strong></p> <p>Since gaining independence from the UK, Nigeria has been in a state of permanent crisis. Dependence on oil is the glue that has kept together a country deeply divided but obsessed with an ideal of "national unity". But this dependence has eroded institutions, compromised socio-economic development, caused corruption, coup d'etats, and environmental disasters. The arrival of democracy in the 90s failed to bring much improvement. It's estimated that over 100 million Nigerians live under the poverty threshold. Violence is widespread: from the Boko Haram terrorists to the armed secessionist movements and the growing scourge of kidnappings. How to live in a country where the state is absent? </p> <p>In these circumstances, Nigerians bring out all their dynamism, entrepreneurial skills, and their inventiveness. </p> <p>As the generation of generals who governed the country for 60 years dies out, and younger citizens refuse to ignore injustice and violence, the hope is born that a new, vibrant generation will take the country's future into their hands. And, as they are accustomed to doing, fix it.</p>

<p><strong>Brimming with intricate research and enduring wonder, The Passenger is a love-letter to global travel </strong></p> <p>The Passenger collects the best new writing, photography, and reportage from around the world. Its aim, to break down barriers and introduce the essence of a place. Packed with essays and investigative journalism; original photography and illustrations; charts, and unusual facts and observations, each volume offers a unique insight into a different culture, and how history has shaped it into what it is today. </p> <p><strong>"When you hold it your hands, The Passenger takes you back to another time, one when travel literature had a scent, and texture."-Paco Nadal, <em>El Pais</em></strong></p> <p><strong>"These books are so rich and engrossing that it is rewarding to read them even when one is stuck at home." <em>The TLS</em></strong></p> <p><strong>"[The Passenger] has a strong focus on storytelling, with pages given over to a mix of essays, playlists and sideways glances at subcultures and thorny urban issues."-<em>MONOCLE</em></strong></p> <p><strong>"Half-magazine, half-book... think of [The Passenger] as an erudite and literary travel equivalent to National Geographic, with stunning photography and illustration and fascinating writing about place."-<em>Independent.ie</em> (Best series of the year - 2021)</strong></p> <p><strong>"The Passenger readers will find none of the typical travel guide sections on where to eat or what sights to see. Consider the books, rather, more like a literary vacation--the kind you can take without braving a long flight in the time of Covid-19."-<em>Publisher's Weekly</em></strong></p> <p><strong>IN THIS VOLUME: Guadalupe Nettel on Mexico City Elena Reina on femicide Yasnaya Aguilar on indigenous languages and racism Valeria Luiselli on Frida Kahlo and "fridolatry" Dario Aleman on the Mayan Train project, and much more...</strong></p> <p>Mexico: once synonymous with escape and freedom, better known nowadays for widespread violence, narcotraffic, and migration. </p> <p>Sea, beaches, ancient ruins, tequila: under the patina of mass tourism there's a complex, neurotic country trying to carve out a place for itself in the shadow of its hulky neighbour. </p> <p>The most populous Hispanic country in the world, 89 indigenous languages are spoken: a contradictory legacy reflected in its political, social, religious (and food!) culture. With a fifth of the population identifying as indigenous, rediscovering and revaluing the country's pre-Columbian roots informs much of public debate. The controversial Mayan train project connecting Mexico's Caribbean resorts with the South's archaeological sites, crossing (and compromising) communities and forests, is a perfect example of the opposition between the two souls of the country. It's the drive towards resolving this contradiction, or better still learning to live with it, that will define the Mexico of the future. </p>

100 Knitted Tiles Bok
A collection of 100 knitting charts and patterns for designs based on decorative tiles. Decorative tiles have long been a source of inspiration for designers and artists due to their often intricate patterns and colours. This collection of knitting patterns and charts includes 100 designs inspired by decorative ceramic tiles from around the world. Choose from brightly coloured colourwork designs to simple textured motifs that evoke everything from Victorian floor tiles to the intricate and brightly coloured designs of ancient temples and palaces. Using a variety of different colourwork knitting techniques such as stranded knitting, mosaic knitting, and intarsia, as well as textured and lace knitting techniques and special stitches, a number of talented knitting designers have developed their own interpretations for you to create with yarn. All of the tiles are made using Metropolis, a 4 ply yarn by Scheepjes but you can supplement it with any 4ply yarn that meets the gauge (tension) recommendations. These knitted tile patterns are the perfect stash buster projects as they only use small amounts of yarn and they're a great way to try out different knitting techniques on a small scale. The tiles are constructed using a number of different knitting techniques including working in rows, modular knitting and centre out knitting so there are lots of different methods to try. All the knitting stitches and techniques you will need to make the motifs are included in the techniques section along with helpful step-by-step artworks and instructions. In addition to the motif patterns there are instructions for five knitting projects to show how specific tiles can be used to make blankets, pillow cases, a needlecase and a knitted bag. Or why not mix and match your favourite designs to create your own blankets or throws? This unique collection of 100 exciting designs will continue to inspire and delight knitters of all abilities.

South Korea Bok
<p>Eighty years ago, at the end of a devastating fratricidal war, South Korea was one of the poorest countries in the world, completely dependent on the United States for security and development. Today it's the tenth economy in the world, dynamic and innovative, a lively and participatory democracy that sits at the table of the great powers. "Hallyu" - the Korean wave of contemporary entertainment - has reached every corner of the world. This rapid, astonishing transformation inevitably brought with it rifts and contradictions. If global youth look at Korea as previous generations looked at Hollywood and New York, young Koreans, on the other hand, view it as "Hell Joseon": an aging country, an economic system dominated by powerful families, with a fiercely competitive education system, a wide generational gap, and, at the centre of it all, the role of women - one of the keys that The Passenger has chosen to decipher a complex, fascinating country, central to the dynamics of the contemporary world, very often exoticized and idealized in equal measure.</p> <p>IN THIS VOLUME: <em>Hell Joseon</em> by Elisa Shua Dusapin *<em> The View from the North</em> by Lee Hyeonseo * <em>Lessons in Democracy</em> by Jiyoung Choi * plus: the Samsung Republic and the most militarized border in the world, the real reason why Korean women don't have children, democracy and K-pop, baseball, esports, and shamanism, and much more...</p>

Naples Bok
<p>In recent years, Naples has been the subject of countless books, films and TV series, making it even more difficult to imagine a Neapolitan normality, if it exists at all. As Naples becomes the most filmed city in Italy, where to look for the ordinary, the average? Maybe we need to "go up" to Vomero, a neighborhood considered almost alien to the city, middle class, homogeneous, peaceful? A reality in sharp contrast with the over-the-top life of the historic centre, crossed as it is by a thousand stratifications - architectural, historical and social. And yet even there we find an alternative reading: the city as a model of coexistence between ancient and modern. </p> <p>While some areas have been waiting for decades for much promised redevelopment, others have benefited from cutting-edge projects with far-reaching positive impact, representing a Naples that attracts talent, exports models, colonizes instead of being colonized. </p> <p>IN THIS VOLUME: Paolo Macry on Naples' "monarch mayors" Francesco Abazia on the influence of the US Army's presence on Neapolitan popular music Cristina Napolitano on the Neapolitan diaspora, and what it means to come back Gianni Montieri on the city's passion for football Alessandra Coppola on the cult of the young victims of the Camorra, or the police, and much more...</p>
