There’s never been a book about food like Let’s Eat France! A book that feels literally larger than life, it is a feast for food lovers and Francophiles, combining the completist virtues of an encyclopedia and the obsessive visual pleasures of infographics with an enthusiast’s unbridled joy. Here are classic recipes, including how to make a pot-au-feu, eight essential composed salads, pâté en croûte, blanquette de veau, choucroute, and the best ratatouille. Profiles of French food icons like Colette and Curnonsky, Brillat-Savarin and Bocuse, the Troigros dynasty and Victor Hugo.

La France est composée de provinces qui, toutes, ont leur histoire. C'est la réunion de ces passés différents, qui font la richesse, la grandeur et l'originalité de notre pays. Il est important qu'aujourd'hui les jeunes connaissent les racines du terroir dont ils sont issus, de la région, où ils passent leurs vacances. Peu de livres seront aussi utiles à la formation de leur jugement dans cet esprit de tolérance qui émane de toute culture.

"Un soir de quiétude, assis à ma table, directement sur le clavier de mon ordinateur, j'avais commencé à écrire cette sordide histoire de petit fonctionnaire qui décidait de faire le ménage autour de lui... la petite histoire était devenue un livre, un roman, presqu'à mon insu: la vie privée d'un homme devenu serial killer... sa vie, son oeuvre, ses amis, ses victimes, ses voisins, ses amours." Ce serial-killer, qui est-ce? Le connais-je? Suffisamment en tout cas pour que j'écrive un ouvrage sur lui, sa vie, son oeuvre... Est-ce un ami, un collègue, un voisin? Ce sentiment d'être intime... familiarité, promiscuité... comme si c'était moi... Est-ce moi? Tous les faits, tous les personnages, je sais ce qu'ils et qui ils sont, je les ai connus... presque tous... Ont-ils tous rencontré la longue lame effilée que je porte généralement sur moi?

Bridges are one of the most important artefacts constructed by man, the structures having had an incalculable effect on the development of trade and civilisation throughout the world. Their construction has led to continuing advances in civil engineering technology, leading to bigger spans and the use of new materials. Their failures, too, whether from an inadequate understanding of engineering principles or as a result of natural catastrophes or warfare, have often caused immense hardship as a result of lost lives or broken communications. In this book, a sister publication to his earlier An Encyclopaedia of British Bridges (Pen & Sword 2019), David McFetrich gives brief descriptions of some 1200 bridges from more than 170 countries around the world. They represent a wide range of different types of structure (such as beam, cantilever, stayed and suspension bridges). Although some of the pictures are of extremely well-known structures, many are not so widely recognisable and a separate section of the book includes more than seventy lists of bridges with distinctly unusual characteristics in their design, usage and history.
