Monocle s latest book is a celebration of the Nordic region: plus a flavour of its notable neighbours and some surprises, quirks and maybe a sauna or two along the way. Monocle s journalists, editors and photographers have returned time and again to all corners of northern Europe for insights, inspiration and ideas for living better.<br/> <br/>This book isn t about hammering the overhyped hygge trend or fussing over foamy food. Much the opposite it s about a shared but distinct set of values that have helped varied nations excel in quiet diplomacy, thoughtful design and reasoned debate. Monocle looks beyond the clichés and uncovers the folks, firms and stories that help the region rank highly for everything in everything from art and architecture to eating well.<br/><br/>Far from lumping these different nations together, the Monocle team will highlight the people, places and products that show the Nordics in all their nuances: lessons we can all learn from makers in Norway s high north to the firms building bridges in Denmark or selling Swedish soft power abroad. Not to mention talent in Tallinn (yes, we ll bust a few borders with the Baltics on our rounds) or retailers reaching higher in Reykjavík.<br/><br/>The world can learn a lot from our knowing northern neighbours and <i>The Monocle Book of The New Nordics</i> is the ideal place to start.

<b>The Monocle team celebrates the endlessly fascinating and culturally rich country of Japan.</b><br/><br/>Ever since it launched in 2007, <i>Monocle</i> has had a rich and deep connection with Japan.

Complete with stunning photography and intriguing essays, it is a unique showcase of a country that for many remains a mystery.

Mercedes-Benz G-Class specialist Jörg Sand has written the ultimate book on this all-wheel-drive legend, from its design and development to its extraordinary and diverse career up to the present day. Very few automobiles remain as faithful in their character and appearance as the hardcore, all-wheel-drive Mercedes-Benz G-Class luxury SUV. Even when it comes to the most recent series, the W 463 A, with its technically profound changes, the designers at Mercedes have barely changed the classic look. And for good reason. From its first year, 1979, the G-Class has always been one of the very few off-road legends. Tourists, firefighters, foresters, race drivers, and boat owners all appreciate the unique qualities of this indestructible force, the "G Wagon," from Graz, Austria.
