文化是歐盟「多元一體」精神的基石，本書探索歐盟的文化政策脈絡，並同時從歐盟與會員國層級剖析各文化領域的實踐。 今日，文化日益被當作是歐洲各國提升經濟發展、創造就業、促進社會融合、強化與他國交流之重要媒介。歐洲整合之父莫內（Jean Monnet）曾說：「倘若歐洲整合能重新開始，吾將由文化著手。」事實上，文化乃歐盟的核心理念之一，也是「多元一體」（Unity in Diversity）精神的基石。在

This whimsical love letter to the Big Apple's most cherished and intriguing shops is a timeless celebration of New York's diversity, energy, resilience, and weirdness. Every New Yorker has a favorite place to shop--whether it's for pizza or flowers, to grab a beer, or slurp down soup dumplings. When the coronavirus crisis hit in 2020, illustrator Joel Holland began drawing storefronts near his apartment as a way of memorializing an element of city life that seemed suddenly precarious. He posted them on Instagram and they quickly drew an avid following. Eventually, Holland's collection grew to include shops recommended by friends or strangers online. This book showcases 225 of his delightful illustrations and runs the gamut, from delis and bodegas to dive bars, bookstores, bakeries, newsstands, cafés, restaurants and more. Each image is paired with engaging text filled with the historical, cultural, and architectural details that have earned these stores a place in people's hearts. Als
