Note from the editor:

« “Did you know that more than half of the perfumes sold worldwide were created in Geneva? That is one of the many insights revealed in this small red clothbound book, which carefully documents what the canton of Geneva contributes to Switzerland — and therefore to the world. From Ruth Dreifuss to Zep, by way of Frankenstein, the International Committee of the Red Cross, hydroalcoholic gel, Joël Dicker and exoplanets, Genève, un canton brings together a wealth of fascinating, and often little-known, stories connected to the Geneva region. As an added bonus, the book features photographs by Niels Ackermann created especially for the project. It is worth noting that the book is an initiative of the Chancellery of the Canton of Geneva and was editorially and graphically designed by Large Network, the parent company of Large/Kiosk. »
