„Das ist Berlin / This is Berlin“ (Deutsch/Englisch) aus der Reihe „Cube“ bietet eine erfrischende Alternative zu herkömmlichen Reiseführern. Der kompakte Band präsentiert Berlin in seiner ganzen Vielfalt: Kultur, Subkultur, Architektur, „grünes Berlin“, Straßenszenen und die Berliner selbst. Die hochwertige Fotografie macht das Buch zu einem attraktiven Souvenir für Besucher, ideal zur Reisesaison. Wolfgang Thierse beschreibt im Vorwort die Dynamik und den Wandel der Stadt. Nach der Teilung bis 1989 wurde Berlin zur größten Baustelle Europas, und viele Großprojekte sind inzwischen abgeschlossen. Der Potsdamer Platz und das neue Regierungsviertel stehen im Kontrast zur Gründerzeitarchitektur von Charlottenburg und Kreuzberg. Neben einer Vielzahl von Baudenkmälern und Sehenswürdigkeiten zeigt das Buch auf ca. 700 Seiten auch Lifestyle, Parks und das Nachtleben dieser aufregenden Metropole. Die Presse hebt die Energie und die Extreme Berlins hervor: von Sommerhitze und Punkern bis hin zu Winterfrösten und traditionellen Tanzvergnügungen. Die Bilder bieten einen lebendigen Überblick über das Berliner Leben in all seiner Originalität und seinem Rhythmus. Dieses Buch wird vor allem junge Menschen und ehemalige Berliner ansprechen, die die Schönheit und das wilde Wesen der Stadt nicht vergessen möchten.

"Today many of us live indoor lives, disconnected from the natural world as never before. And yet nature remains deeply ingrained in our language, culture and consciousness. For centuries, we have acted on an intuitive sense that we need communion with the wild to feel well. Now, in the moment of our great migration away from the rest of nature, more and more scientific evidence is emerging to confirm its place at the heart of our psychological wellbeing. So what happens, asks acclaimed journalist Lucy Jones, as we lose our bond with the natural world-might we also be losing part of ourselves? Delicately observed and rigorously researched, Losing Eden is an enthralling journey through this new research, exploring how and why connecting with the living world can so drastically affect our health. Travelling from forest schools in East London to the Svalbard Global Seed Vault via primeval woodlands, Californian laboratories and ecotherapists' couches, Jones takes us to the cutting edge of human biology, neuroscience and psychology, and discovers new ways of understanding our increasingly dysfunctional relationship with the earth. Urgent and uplifting, Losing Eden is a rallying cry for a wilder way of life - for finding asylum in the soil and joy in the trees - which might just help us to save the living planet, as well as ourselves."--Publisher's webpage
