Book Description
Introducing the first travel guide organized by color palette. Travel through Costa Rica's green rainforests, Australia's red desert and Dubai's gold souk, along with hundreds of other colorful destinations. Travelers will discover the best places in the world to immerse themselves in their favorite shade of aquamarine, magenta, canary yellow, and everything in between. Each chapter features a single color and shows you the most picturesque places around the world where you can surround yourself with that shade. Whether it's the chilly blues of New Zealand's Fox Glacier, the earth tones of Morocco's red mudbrick pre-Saharan architecture, or the soothing lavender fields of Provence; whatever your dream aesthetic, there's a color to match. And for those of us whose favorite color as kids was "rainbow," there's an entire chapter dedicated to those special places where the full spectrum of color is everywhere you look. Travel by Colour is a vibrant feast for the visually obsessed traveler. Let color be your guide. Includes photos and information to help you find 15 immersive color experiences all over the world.

Book Description
The Negro Motorist Green Book was a groundbreaking guide that provided African American travelers with crucial information on safe places to stay, eat, and visit during the era of segregation in the United States. This essential resource, originally published from 1936 to 1966, offered a lifeline to black motorists navigating a deeply divided nation, helping them avoid the dangers and indignities of racism on the road. More than just a travel guide, The Negro Motorist Green Book stands as a powerful symbol of resilience and resistance in the face of oppression, offering a poignant glimpse into the challenges and triumphs of the African American experience in the 20th century.

Book Description
Colour is intrinsically linked to how individuals make sense of the world. It has the power to completely transform mood, often subliminally. It's capable of being energetic or restful, passive or aggressive, harmonious or dull, and that's just the beginning. Colour: A journey explores the implications, history and cultural meanings of colour. With chapters on individual colours, their history and their influence, Colour will inspire you to make creative choices in your wardrobe, your home and your life. Lyrically written and thoughtfully illustrated with photography by Victoria Alexander (stylist, fashion editor and passionate traveller), Colour is interspersed with poignant reminders on how to use colour to transform your mood and brighten your life.

Book Description
'A rare and wonderful book... I could not be more enthusiastic.' Simon Winchester 'A treasure trove of human history and obsession...the breadth of research and insight is dazzling.' Glasgow Herald Colour unlocks the history of the colours of the rainbow, and reveals how paints came to be invented, discovered, traded and used. This remarkable and beautifully written book, part travelogue part narrative history, remembers a time when red paint was really the colour of blood, when orange was the poison pigment, blue as expensive as gold, and yellow made from the urine of cows force-fed with mangoes. It looks at how green was carried by yaks along the silk road, and how an entire nation was founded on the colour purple. 'A highly companionable guide, adventurous and romantic' Independent on Sunday Exciting, richly informative, and always surprising, Colour lifts the lid on the historical palette and unearths an astonishing wealth of stories about the quest for colours, and our efforts to understand them.
