As we face a world that is undergoing unparalleled change, no area
is more dynamic than business. To help us understand, navigate and
succeed in this new world, the team at Monocle brings together its
unique knowledge of culture, politics, economics, and business.
Featuring stories of people running enterprises on every scale, the
inspirational tales in this book provide readers with insights into
the challenges and joys of creativity and entrepreneurship. These
unmatched case studies reveal, among many success stories, how
leaders choose branding, hire teams and design workspaces for
today's needs. Whether you are planning to make a life change,
start a new business, or reinvigorate an existing one, The Monocle
Book of Entrepreneurs is a resource for anyone who wants to make a
difference in their work and life.
Monocle's latest book is a celebration of the Nordic region, with
some surprises, quirks and - maybe - a sauna or two along the way.
Monocle's journalists, editors and photographers have returned time
and again to all corners of northern Europe for insights,
inspiration and ideas for living better. This book isn't about
hammering the overhyped hygge trend or fussing over foamy food.
Much the opposite - it's about a shared but distinct set of values
that have helped varied nations excel in quiet diplomacy,
thoughtful design and reasoned debate. Monocle looks beyond the
cliches and uncovers the folks, firms and stories that help the
region rank highly for everything in everything from art and
architecture to eating well. Far from lumping these different
nations together, the Monocle team will highlight the people,
places and products that show the Nordics in all their nuances:
lessons we can all learn from makers in Norway's high north or
retailers reaching higher in Reykjavik; the firms building bridges
in Denmark or selling Swedish soft power abroad. The world can
learn a lot from our knowing northern neighbours - and The Monocle
Book of the Nordics is the ideal place to start.
Good homes are places where lives can unfold, families grow up, dogs jump on sofas, friends share your hospitality. They should also be places where you can find some solitude – a quiet corner to read a book, have a Saturday afternoon nap. In short, they need to be able to sustain you, inspire you and tell your story thanks to their architecture, use of materials and contents.
These are the attributes that Monocle has always celebrated when covering residences in its design and architecture pages – whether featuring a city bolthole, a modernist seaside residence or a summer outpost in a forest. Now Monocle is bringing this all together in one book that explores individual homes, housing projects old and new, communities of self-builders, even whole neighbourhoods where a simple philosophy of building well has created quality of life for many. Monocle has also recruited key thinkers, writers and designers to share their perspectives in a series of fascinating essays.
The Monocle Book of Homes is packed with great photography that delivers the bigger picture and also offers a focus on the smallest details. This is a book that could change how you live.
The best photo assignments from the Monocle archive, published to
mark the magazine's fifteenth anniversary. Back in 2007 the first
issues of Monocle magazine hit newsstands and kiosks around the
globe. At its core was a pledge to commission all original
photography - capturing the world on film, on the ground and in the
moment. The cover of that first issue featured a Japanese
helicopter pilot from the country's defence force - taken as part
of a 10-day reportage assignment for both photographer and writer.
In the years since, Monocle has continued in its pursuit of
documenting the world through its unique lens - from embassies and
residences to world leaders and cultural stars. Each issue has
featured a dedicated photographic Expo section celebrating
lesser-known locales, obscure events and curious characters through
truly outstanding photography. Alpine wrestlers, Syrian outposts,
French legionnaires, noodle-makers, game show hosts and private
member's clubs have all graced the pages. The Monocle Book of
Photography draws on the best of these photographic stories from an
archive a decade and a half in the making. A handsome linen bound
edition with the highest quality gloss paper and printing, the book
also features supporting text about the photo assignments and the
stories behind them, including first hand accounts from the
photographers involved.
The Monocle team celebrates the endlessly fascinating and
culturally rich country of Japan. Ever since it launched in 2007,
Monocle has had a rich and deep connection with Japan. From day one
the magazine has had a Tokyo bureau - which today also encompasses
a Monocle shop and radio studios - run under the watchful eye of
Asia bureau chief Fiona Wilson. Over the past decade the magazine
has built up a unique understanding and passion for the nation. It
has covered everything from a live journey on the Emperor's jet and
the tastiest places to eat in Kagoshima to the fashion designers
crafting new levels of excellence and the businesses with
remarkable stories untold outside Japan. This new book reveals the
best of the nation in the run up to the 2020 Olympics. Complete
with stunning photography and intriguing essays, it is a unique
showcase of a country that for many remains a mystery.

A timely handbook helping readers think about how to slow down, reconnect, and live a gentler life.
Monocle has always been a champion of taking it slow. Past issues have encouraged readers to dive into a lake and go for a run. To sleep well. To eat food made with love. Even today, in a tense moment in history, the magazine has done its bit to argue for a new modern etiquette where communities are generous with their time, hospitality, and forgiveness. Now its editors and correspondents have brought all of this together into one volume with The Monocle Manifesto for a Gentler Life, a book that urges us all to slow down, reconnect, make good things, and think about the spaces we call home.
Some of the highlights of this volume include: An illustrated guide to being nice, respecting your neighbors, and controlling your social media rants; practical tips on how to design a house that’s good for you and your family; Q&As with the people who have decided to take a gentler approach to work and living; and a celebration of locally made food―with featured recipes―as well as the chefs that bring people together. The helpful tips and insights in this guide make it the perfect handbook for anyone looking to slow down and enjoy life.
Illustrated in color throughout.
