Best Travel Guidebook Series

Every time I go to a bookstore there seems to be a new series of travel guides on the shelves. As record numbers of people travel abroad, more and more publishers are jumping on the bandwagon to cash in on the growing travel industry. Nevertheless, finding a guidebook that suits your needs and whose style and suggestions you like is not easy.
Despite the plethora of travel guides available, I have found not one single travel guide that meets all my travel needs and interests. Some books provide in-depth cultural and historical information with great essays and photographs but have few recommendations for lodging, dining, and transportation. Others emphasize practical travel information but provide little background on culture and history. The best travel guide is ultimately the one you put together yourself from a variety of sources, based on your personal interests and travel preferences. I recommend getting a general guide that tells you how to get around and where to stay, and another guide that specializes in your main travel interest, such as art, history, trekking, kayaking, etc.

Culturally, Hamburg is said to have more in common with its trading partners and neighbors in the Low Countries, Denmark and even England, than it does with southern Germany. In Hamburg, there are more tha...

Can seaweed help solve the world's plastic crisis?

  After you finish your fries, eat the ketchup packet. When you add your pasta to boiling water, toss the bag into the pot, too. If these instructions sound confusing to you, it's only because you haven't yet heard of Notpla, a London-based startup company that is designing a seaweed-based replacement for single-use plastic packaging. Founded in 2014, the company closed a £10 million ($13.5 million) Series A financing round last month, led by the VC firm Horizons Ventures, to scale and further develop its product line. Notpla's products are meant to be composted or dissolved after use -- though some are edible, too. Current offerings include sachets for condiments, water and even alcohol; a film wrap for products in your pantry or bathroom, like coffee or toilet paper; and takeaway boxes that replace plastic-based coating with seaweed lining to make them fully biodegradable. The Ooho can replace condiment packets and other single-serve liquids, while the seaweed-lined takea...
