Monocle's latest book is a celebration of the Nordicregion, with some surprises, quirks and - maybe - a saunaor two along the way. Monocle's journalists, editors andphotographers have returned time and again to all cornersof northern Europe for insights, inspiration and ideas forliving better.This book isn't about hammering the overhypedhygge trend or fussing over foamy food. Much the opposite- it's about a shared but distinct set of values that havehelped varied nations excel in quiet diplomacy, thoughtfuldesign and reasoned debate. Monocle looks beyond thecliches and uncovers the folks, firms and stories that helpthe region rank highly for everything in everything from artand architecture to eating well. Far from lumping these different nations together,the Monocle team will highlight the people, places andproducts that show the Nordics in all their nuances:lessons we can all learn from makers in Norway's highnorth or retailers reaching higher in Reykjavik; the firmsbuilding bridges in Denmark or selling Swedish softpower abroad. The world can learn a lot from our knowing northernneighbours - and The Monocle Book of the Nordics is theideal place to start.
