Assouline Biarritz Basque
På den franska sydkusten finns en idyllisk stad som har välkomnat sådana välkända besökare som Napoléon III och Coco Chanel - ändå är det också en surfares paradis. Denna fängslande anomali är ingen annan än Biarritz. Tänk dig hisnande landskap, en rik kulturell mångfald och doften av traditionell baskisk mat som ligger i luften. Denna semesterort, perfekt belägen längs den Atlantiska kusten, är din dörr till byarna i Baskien, skatter som Guéthary, Anglet, Bidart och Arcangues.Biarritz avger en gammaldags charm som verkligen kan kännas på pelotabanan i staden och upplevs när man väver mellan de förtöjda träfiskebåtarna i Guéthary. Hantverkstraditionen är en hedrad tradition i denna region, där man värdesätter den handgjorda processen att tillverka makhilas och stödjer de hundraåriga linproducenterna. Läsarna kanske först kommer för vågorna i Biarritz Basque, men de kommer stanna för själen.

The Basque History of the World: The Story of a Nation
'A lively, anecdotal, all-encompassing history of Basque ingenuity and achievement.' --Atlantic Monthly From Mark Kurlansky, the bestselling author of Cod, Salt, Birdseye, and Paper--the illuminating story of an ancient and enigmatic people Straddling a small corner of Spain and France in a land that is marked on no maps except their own, the Basques are a puzzling contradiction--they are Europe's oldest nation without ever having been a country. No one has ever been able to determine their origins, and even the Basques' language, Euskera--the most ancient in Europe--is related to none other on earth. For centuries, their influence has been felt in nearly every realm, from religion to sports to commerce. Even today, the Basques are enjoying what may be the most important cultural renaissance in their long existence, as displayed by new cookbooks like chefs Alexandra Raij and Eder Montero's The Basque Book and restaurateur Jose Pizarro's Basque. Mark Kurlansky's passion for the Basque

Small Countries
What is a small country? Is a country small because of the size of its territory or its population? Can smallness be relative, based on the subjective perception of a country's inhabitants or in comparison with one's neighbors? How does smallness, however it is defined, shape a country and its relations with other countries? Answers to these questions, among others, can be found in Small Countries, the first and only anthropological study of smallness as a defining variable. In terms of population size, some two thirds of the countries of the world can now be considered small countries, and they can be found in all world regions except North America and East Asia. They exhibit great diversity with regard to culture, history, and institutional arrangements, so there can be no model of any 'typical' small country. Yet the essays collected by Ulf Hannerz and Andre Gingrich identify a range of family resemblances in such areas as internal connectivity and sensibilities of identity.

How Rich Countries Got Rich ... and Why Poor Countries Stay Poor
A maverick economist explains how protectionism makes nations rich, free trade keeps them poor---and how rich countries make sure to keep it that way. Throughout history, some combination of government intervention, protectionism, and strategic investment has driven successful development everywhere from Renaissance Italy to the modern Far East. Yet despite the demonstrable success of this approach, development economists largely ignore it and insist instead on the importance of free trade. Somehow, the thing that made rich nations rich supposedly won't work on poor countries anymore. Leading heterodox economist Erik Reinert's invigorating history of economic development shows how Western economies were founded on protectionism and state activism and only later promoted free trade, when it worked to their advantage. In the tug-of-war between the gospel of government intervention and free-market purists, the issue is not that one is more correct, but that the winning nation tends to
