Asmara, the capital of the small east African country of Eritrea, bordering the Red Sea, is one of the most important and exciting architectural discoveries of recent years. Built almost entirely in the 1930s by the Italians, Asmara has one of the highest concentrations of Modernist architecture anywhere in the world, and has been evocatively described as the Miami of Africa. Desperate to build quickly, the colonial government of the time allowed radical architectural experimentation that would not have found favour in the more conservative European environment. Asmara therefore became the world's prime building ground for architectural innovation during the Modern Movement. That this occurred at all is remarkable enough, but that these buildings should have survived in such numbers today makes it one of the finest Modernist cities in the world. Asmara's extraordinary history, engagingly retold at the beginning of this book, has meant that this important architectural legacy has escaped the destruction wrought by war and the exploitation of land that, elsewhere, has occurred in peacetime. Now that the city is open to the world, following the declaration of Eritrea's independence from Ethiopia in 1991, there has been a growing awareness of its architectural richness and significance, but never before has this legacy been published. This building-by-building survey, illustrated with rare archival material and specially commissioned photographs, is a groundbreaking publication that is set to become one of the most important new books on Modernist architecture of recent decades.

'Only with the greatest of simplifications, for the sake of convenience, can we say Africa. In reality, except as a geographical term, Africa doesn't exist'. Ryszard Kapuscinski has been writing about the people of Africa throughout his career. In a study that avoids the official routes, palaces and big politics, he sets out to create an account of post-colonial Africa seen at once as a whole and as a location that wholly defies generalised explanations. It is both a sustained meditation on the mosaic of peoples and practises we call 'Africa', and an impassioned attempt to come to terms with humanity itself as it struggles to escape from foreign domination, from the intoxications of freedom, from war and from politics as theft.

The highlands of northeastern Africa consists of two inter-locked countries. Ethiopia is a large, land-locked, country with a southern and eastern desert-like region and a central mountainous area. The capital, Addis Ababa, is a modern city in the central highlands, with good road connections with Dire Dawa and Harar in the east (both very interesting cities), and Gondor and Axum in the north. There are road connections to most surrounding countries (south Sudan being the exception), but the region is politically volatile and border closures may exist. The reverse side portrays Eritrea, theoretically a coastal country, but essentially a mountainous country, with Asmara as its capital. The map also includes an excellent inset map of Djibouti, as well as inset maps of Asmara and of Addis Ababa. Each side also includes a listing of top attractions for the benefit of visitors.

Faces of Paris is a travel guidebook with a twist. It presents Paris from the eyes of the omnipresent statutes and sculptures that dot the old town, giving insights not normally covered by regular guidebooks. In addition to sound advice on getting there and getting around, how to get the best airline deals, the pitfalls of seemingly good offers, the metro, cabs, buses, Uber, financial considerations, myth debunking, hotels, restaurants, sights, museums, security, keeping out of trouble, shopping, and a number of other issues, the book contains dozens of photographs taken by the author of sculptures with a wide range of expressions. There is also a fun list of abbreviations of French words commonly used by Parisians, many unknown to French speakers.How is this guidebook different from others? The typical Paris guidebook contains lots of information on sights and history, but are flawed in terms of telling you a few realities that every visitor to the great city should be aware of. Aspects dealing with culture, financial issues, security questions, legal considerations are all amiss. Should you take a cab at a certain time from a given location? Should you really try cultural immersion on a short, first-time trip? Is all of Paris safe? What are the typical scams focusing on tourists? Should I squeeze five museums in a single short stay? Tons of tips that will save you a lot of money and aggravation. Lots of myths are debunked, concerning Paris, the French and France. Another aspect of regular guidebooks you should not really trust are hotel and restaurant suggestions. The impression one gets is that inclusion of such establishments is often paid, for the descriptions look like press releases. The book does not cover dozens upon dozens of properties, rather, tries to teach you how to choose an eatery and a hotel on more realistic basis. Rather than being illustrated by photos of the different sights, which you will find on other guidebooks, Faces of Paris contains dozens of pictures of intriguing faces from sculptures that adorn doors, windows, parks all over the city. The sheer range of expressions found on these faces is rather amazing, and it will give you another picturesque aspect to look for. Read more

Eritrea, a tiny but intriguing nation in the Horn of Africa, is home to a wide variety of ecosystems as well as a rich and vibrant cultural heritage. Eritrea's location at the crossroads of four continents—the Red Sea to the east, the Horn of Africa to the west, and Sudan and Ethiopia to the south and south-west—has shaped the course of its history and development. Eritrea provides visitors with a one-of-a-kind experience because to its eclectic combination of African, Middle Eastern, and European influences.Eritrea has a population of over 6 million and an area of around 117,600 square kilometers (45,400 square miles). Asmara, the capital, is a remarkable combination of Italian and African influences and is a UNESCO World Heritage site because to its spectacular modernist architecture. The country's varied landscapes—from its enormous deserts to its highland plateaus to its coastline along the Red Sea—offer visitors a rich variety of sights and activities.Eritrea's history is entangled with modern and ancient cultures. Prehistoric human remains discovered at archaeological sites in the area date back thousands of years. The Axumite Kingdom, the Ottoman Empire, and Italian colonialism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries all had an impact on Eritrea during the course of history. Eritrea was federated with Ethiopia after World War II, and its subsequent fight for independence was protracted. After a long conflict with Ethiopia, the nation regained its independence in 1993.Get your Copy Today by Scrolling Up and Clicking Buy Now to Get your Copy Now Read more

Survival and Witness at Europe's Border focuses on one of the most mediatized migrant disasters in Europe. On October 3, 2013, an overcrowded fishing boat carrying Eritrean refugees caught fire near Lampedusa, Italy, where 368 people died. Karina Horsti shows with empathy and passion how this disaster produced a kaleidoscope of afterlives that continue to assume different forms depending on the position of the witness or survivors. Pasts and futures intersect in the present when people who were touched by the disaster engage with its memory and politics. Horsti underscores how the perspective of survival can envision a way forward from a horrific unsustainable present. Survival and Witness at Europe's Border develops the concept of survival to rethink border deaths beyond the structures and processes that produce the murderous border and constitute the focus of critical migration studies. It demonstrates how the process of survival transforms people and societies. Survival is productive, Horsti argues, shifting the focus in migration studies from apparatuses of control to emphasize the agency and subjectivity of refugees. Read more
