This truly global and visually stunning compendium showcases
some of the most breath-taking pieces of street art and graffiti
from around the world. Since its genesis on the East Coast of the
United States in the late 1960s, street art has travelled to nearly
every corner of the globe, morphing into highly ornate and vibrant
new styles. This unique atlas is the first truly geographical
survey of urban art, revised and updated in 2023 to include new
voices, increased female representation and cities emerging as
street art hubs. Featuring specially commissioned works from major
graffiti and street art practitioners, it offers you an insider’s
view of the urban landscape as the artists themselves experience
it. Organized geographically, by continent and by city – from New
York, Los Angeles and Montreal in North America, through Mexico
City and Buenos Aires in Latin America, to London, Berlin and
Madrid in Europe, Sydney and Auckland in the Pacific, as well as
brand new chapters covering Africa and Asia – it profiles more
than 100 of today’s most important artists and features over 700
astonishing artworks. This beautifully illustrated book, produced
with the help of many of the artists it features, dispels the idea
of such art as a thoughtless defacement of pristine surfaces, and
instead celebrates it as a contemporary and highly creative
inscription upon the skin of the built environment.
This guidebook presents the Dartmoor Way, a 175km (109 mile) walk
around Dartmoor National Park in Devon. Walked in 10 day-long
stages between 12.75 and 20.5km (8 and 12.75 miles) in length, this
waymarked route skirts the edge of England's largest granite
moorland, passing through towns including Ivybridge, Ashburton,
Okehampton and Tavistock. Also included is the 2-day High Moor
Link, which crosses the moor's higher ground. With 1:50,000 scale
OS maps for each stage, the book includes notes on nature, history
and local landmarks such as Haytor Rocks, the Teign gorge and
Dewerstone crags. Taking in ancient paths, tracks and quiet lanes,
the route is mostly at low level and is suitable for most walkers,
although some stages involve short, steep climbs and descents.
Accommodation, parking and public transport are covered, allowing
walkers to choose whether to tackle the route in one go or as
individual day walks. Each stage includes low-level detours in case
of bad weather, as well as details of walking the route in reverse,
giving readers flexibility over direction of travel. Further
options include creating shorter loops joined by the High Moor
Link, or walking the entire circular route in 7 days.
