Discover the ultimate collection of film and TV locations with the next instalment in Lonely Planet's Spotter's Guide series. Featuring locations from more than 100 of the most iconic scenes ever committed to film, we'll show you where incredible moments from Indiana Jones, Star Wars, Thelma & Louise, Game of Thrones and many more favourites were shot. Whether you're sat in the dark of your local cinema, or curled up on the sofa, each film has the rare ability to transport you to amazing destinations around the globe. Inside this book, you'll be able to explore the real-life locations for some of the most famous productions of all time, filmed in countries including Canada, Australia, Jordan, Croatia, Iceland, Japan, New Zealand, Tunisia and India. Many of these locations effortlessly played themselves, while others were disguised as hostile, alien deserts, futuristic cityscapes, or Jedi hideaways. While a film's job is make you forget you're watching one, there are certain locations that can transport you right into the world of a movie. If you want to feel like 007 with a license to kill, you can take a boat out to James Bond Island, otherwise known as Khao Phing Kan, in Thailand, home to The Man with the Golden Gun. If you want to follow in the footsteps of Holly Golightly, then enjoy a coffee and a Danish pastry outside Tiffany's in Manhattan. Or perhaps you'd like to celebrate something momentous by running up the steps of the Philadelphia Museum like Rocky Balboa. Whether you're a film buff, a travel addict, or both, this book will help to convince you that CGI is never a substitute for the real thing.

Le tourisme a longtemps été abordé sans tenir compte du rôle des sexes dans l’articulation de l’expérience. Or les femmes sont aujourd’hui plus nombreuses que les hommes à faire du tourisme et nous observons une croissance rapide de la demande pour les voyages de groupes exclusivement composés de femmes. Nous assistons à l’émergence de nouvelles tendances touristiques souhaitant les rejoindre précisément, puisqu’elles ne sont plus nécessairement accompagnées par leur famille ou leur partenaire. Forte de ses expériences à la fois de guide et de conseillère en tourisme d’aventure, Emilie Marcil pose dans cet ouvrage un regard différent sur l’expérience touristique en traçant un historique bref, mais éclairant, sur l’évolution de la place de la femme dans le voyage. Elle présente les témoignages de femmes qui ont choisi cette formule de voyage et propose ainsi d’étudier et de comprendre les contraintes vécues par ces dernières dans leur quête de mobilité. Cet ouvrage original sur les vacances entre femmes apporte un éclairage nouveau sur le tourisme de l’entre-soi comme lieu de renforcement des relations interpersonnelles, possiblement affranchi des rôles sociaux. Il peut aider à élargir les acquis au sein des études féministes et touristiques, mais aussi à enrichir les connaissances des membres de l’industrie touristique qui exploitent cette forme de tourisme.

From a remote cabin in the rugged rainforest of the Alaskan wilderness, where the untamed landscape tumbles into the ocean, a remarkable yellow Labrador retriever named Woody helped an exile from corporate America seek a fierce freedom. A young Ward Serrill arrived in Southeast Alaska in 1982, dispatched by his Seattle accounting firm to a remote native village to audit their new corporation. Within a year Serrill had ditched the job, with designs on forging another life up north, a new Labrador retriever puppy in tow. Woody—named after Guthrie—was of champion bloodline and seemed ready for any adventure. After a stint working with Tlingit elders in the village of Saxman, Serrill was adopted into the clan. Some called him Dleit Yéil, or White Raven. But over time, his connection to the village began to fray as his relationships there unearthed dark aspects of his own family history. Only his friendship with Woody remained unshakable, and it was time to move on. On the maiden voyage of their dogyak—a specially fitted kayak—Woody and Serrill rounded a point into a half-moon bay with rugged coastline. There, sixteen miles from town on the rough, steep bank, accessible only by boat, sat a small gray house on stilts. In the shadow of ancient spruce and cedars, with a waterfall on one side and the ocean below, he and Woody took up their years-long vigil in the place he came to call Shakri-La. His experiment in self-isolation helped Serrill to confront the reality and the emotional cost of running away—physically and emotionally—all his life. Looking inward and facing his darkness, Serrill discovered an unexplored region of his heart that offered the true possibility of healing and belonging, made possible by the steadfast devotion of a very special dog. An extraordinary journey of the heart and soul from the award-winning filmmaker and director of The Heart of the Game, To Crack the World Open is a poignant, adventure-driven Alaskan story of self-discovery, with one of life’s most essential relationships—a man and his dog—at its heart.

Labrador – Photographies de Bob Mesher Le Labrador est l’une des dernières terres mystérieuses et pratiquement inaccessibles du Nord – du moins, comme l’écrit en introduction Danielle Schaub, c’est ainsi que l’ont représenté les explorateurs européens et américains au cours des siècles. Dans ce livre, le premier album de photographies publié par un Inuit du Nunavik, Bob Mesher offre une vision « de l’intérieur » de ce fascinant territoire où il est né, à la suite du périple que sa famille avait entrepris du nord du Québec à Paradise River. Revenu depuis à Kuujjuaq, diplômé universitaire et éditeur de Makivik Magazine, Bob Mesher s’est engagé à documenter par des centaines de milliers de photographies le Nord du Québec et le Labrador. Le lecteur découvrira ici son regard exceptionnel, à travers les choix de la photographe Danielle Schaub et les légendes – souvent étonnantes – de Bob Mesher. Labrador – Photographs by Bob Mesher Labrador is one of the last mysterious and virtually inaccessible territories of the North—or so have the European and American explorers claimed over the centuries, as Danielle Schaub writes in the introduction. In this book, the first album of photographs published by an Inuit from Nunavik, Bob Mesher offers an “insider’s” vision of the fascinating land where he was born, following the journey that his family had begun from Northern Quebec to Paradise River. Having returned to Kuujjuaq, as a university graduate and the publisher of Makivik Magazine, Bob Mesher is committed to documenting Northern Quebec and Labrador through thousands of photographs. The reader will discover his exceptional perspective, through the choices of photographer Danielle Schaub and through the often surprising captions given by Bob Mesher.
