Commentaries of Ruy Freyre de Andrada
by Ruy Freyre De AndradaFirst published in 1930. 'The Broadway Travellers consolidates its already high reputation by issuing this volume...' SpectatorThis is the first translation of the Commentarios since original publication in 1647. Copies of the original are very rare yet the work covers an historically significant period, describing the operations leading up to the capture from the Portuguese of Ormuz, in the Persian Gulf, by an Anglo-Persian force. Of importance in the history of the rise of the Indian Empire, this is the first printed account of the Portuguese version of the affair.The appendices include many previously unpublished Portuguese documents, the most important of which is the full Journal of Edward Monnox, who was present throughout the operations.
Commerce City
by Debra BullockAmong Colorado's fastest growing cities in the 21st century, Commerce City was settled in the 1850s, located today 8 miles northeast of Denver's capitol building. Known for hog farms, truck farms, and dairies, as well as refineries and grain elevators, Commerce City was, during World War II, the site of the enormous Rocky Mountain Arsenal, a U.S. Army weapons manufacturing facility. Incorporated in 1952 as Commerce Town, the name was changed to Commerce City in 1962, which adopted home rule in 1970. Commerce City is regionally famous and nationally recognized for parks and recreation, Buffalo Run Golf Course, Mile High Kennel Club (dog racing), and nearby Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge. The new Commerce City Civic Center and Dick's Sporting Goods Park, which is home to pro soccer's Colorado Rapids, were completed in 2007. Commerce City remains a speedily changing municipality with a diverse cultural mix and generations of residents with strong community roots.
Commercial Homes in Tourism: An International Perspective (Routledge Critical Studies in Tourism, Business and Management)
by Paul A. Lynch Alison J. McIntosh Hazel TuckerThis volume is the first to examine the commercial home from an international perspective, paying attention to the frequently occurring but often neglected forms of commercial accommodation including farmstays, historic houses, and self-catering accommodation. Conceptually, it helps to explain a range of behaviours and practices, for example the importance of setting and the nature of the host/guest exchange. The idea of home provides a conceptual bridge to related themes, for example identity, gender, emotional management and cultural mobilities whose investigation in a commercial home context offers fascinating insights into hospitality, tourism and society. This book is structured around three themes. The first is dimensions of the commercial home and includes discussion of issues pertaining to forms and characteristics and female entrepreneurship. The second theme considers the commercial home as an investigative lens to examine wider issues of society, hospitality and tourism such as the commercial home as a tool for rural economic development. The third theme, extending the commercial home paradigm, looks at new areas of development, including the Malaysian Muslim home as a site for economic and political action and the use of the home in marketing regional localities. Commercial Homes in Tourism is the first book to give recognition to this distinct, economically important and expanding form of tourism business by bringing together recent, international research on this common form of commercial tourism accommodation. Given the global nature of the commercial home phenomenon, and owing to the originality of its theoretical contributions and practical insights, this book will be of interest across a broad range of subjects and disciplines interested in the examination of the home phenomenon, including students, academics and business practitioners.
Commercial Nationalism and Tourism: Selling the National Story
by Leanne WhiteThis book combines academic analysis and critical exploration to examine national narratives in the context of tourism and events around the world. It explores how particular narratives are woven to tell (and sell) a national story. By deconstructing images of the nation, it closely examines how national texts create key archival imagery that can promote tourism and events while also shaping national identity. It investigates the complex relationship between state appropriation of marketing strategies and the commercial use of nationalist discourses. The book aims to demystify the ways in which the nation is imagined by key organisers and organisations and then communicated to millions.
Common Ground: Encounters with Nature at the Edges of Life
by Rob CowenAll too often, we think of nature as something distinct from ourselves, something to go and see, a place that’s separate from the ordinary modern world in which we live and work. But if we take the time to look, we soon find that’s not how nature works. Even in our parceled-out, paved-over urban environs, nature is all around us; it is in us. It is us. That’s what Rob Cowen discovered after moving to a new home in northern England. After ten years in London he was suddenly adrift, searching for a sense of connection. He found himself drawn to a square-mile patch of waste ground at the edge of town. Scrappy, weed-filled, this heart-shaped tangle of land was the very definition of overlooked—a thoroughly in-between place that capitalism no longer had any use for, leaving nature to take its course. Wandering its meadows, woods, hedges, and fields, Cowen found it was also a magical, mysterious place, haunted and haunting, abandoned but wildly alive—and he fell in fascinated love. Common Ground is a true account of that place and Cowen’s transformative journey through its layers and lives, but it’s much more too. As the land’s stories intertwine with events in his own life—and he learns he is to become a father for the first time—the divisions between human and nature begin to blur and shift. The place turns out to be a mirror, revealing what we are, what we’re not and how those two things are ultimately inseparable. This is a book about discovering a new world, a forgotten world on the fringes of our daily lives, and the richness that comes from uncovering the stories and lives—animal and human—contained within. It is an unforgettable piece of nature writing, part of a brilliant tradition that stretches from Gilbert White to Robert Macfarlane and Helen Macdonald. “I am dreaming of the edge-land again,” Cowen writes. Read Common Ground, and you, too, will be dreaming of the spaces in between, and what—including us—thrives there.
Communication and Tourism: Reflecting on the construction of the tourist image of Greece
by Dr Michael TsangarisThe nexus of human mobility and communication is intricate, and this volume uncovers the deep-rooted significance of tourism and media . From antiquity to modern day, Western communication systems have artfully crafted the allure of destinations, making places irresistible to the travellers. At its core, this book proposes that the impetus for travel is a primal human necessity, rooted in our inherent need for movement, consciousness expansion, and cultural development. Featuring Greek civilization as a case study, the book reveals how the rich cultural capital of modern Greece, long admired and assimilated by many global cultures, has immensely contributed to Greece's contemporary tourism "imaginary". Readers are challenged to look beyond prevailing practices where tourism management and marketing are the driving force for commercial exchange, but to encompass its broader essence as a vital human function, leading to richer experiences. Drawing on theory from communication studies, social psychology, social anthropology, cultural and tourism studies the book is: · an historical panorama, exploring how communication has continually influenced the allure of tourist destinations · an overview of philosophical essence of tourism as a basic human need intertwined with consciousness expansion. · written in an engaging style to stimulate thought in current issues around the tourism industry It will be of interest to academics within areas related to tourism studies, mobility studies, mass media, communication and cultural studies.
Communities of the Kathleen Area
by Lois Sherrouse-MurphySettlers from Georgia and the Carolinas began arriving in the communities of the Kathleen area in the 1840s, well before the establishment of Polk County, Florida, in 1861. In the summer of 1851, circuit-riding preacher Rev. J.M. Hayman offered his first sermon at Br. William T. Rushing's homestead at Indian Pond in Socrum, a site soon to become home to Bethel Baptist Church. Against the backdrop of the Seminole Indian Wars, the Civil War, public land incentive programs, and the coming of the railroads in the 1880s, the seven other northwest Polk County communities of the Kathleen area (Galloway, Gibsonia, Green Pond, Griffin, Kathleen, Providence, and Winston) soon followed and were well established by 1900. Self-sufficient and resilient pioneers set up homesteads, nurtured large families, built churches and schools, served in positions of leadership, and created an agricultural-based economy with cattle raising, citrus, timber and logging, and strawberry farming.
Community-based Rural Tourism and Entrepreneurship: A Microeconomic Approach
by Yasuo OheTo meet the rising demand for scientific evidence in the context of rural tourism research, this book explores tourism and tourism-related diversification activities performed by farming households and entrepreneurs in rural communities. To do so it adopts a consistent conceptual and empirical microeconomic approach and employs econometric methodology. Community-based rural tourism (CBRT) is attracting increasing interest in both developed and developing countries, since tourism is considered an effective way to promote rural development in all parts of the globe. Further, because information and communication technologies are developing rapidly, new types of communities are now formed more easily than ever. As such, this book covers not only traditional, closed agrarian communities, but also emerging communities formed by local nonprofit organizations (NPOs) and national networks of farmers who provide educational tourism for consumers. These emerging communities are beyond the range of traditional agrarian communities and complement each other, which helps overcome obstacles to rural tourism for farm operators and urban residents. Those communities also nurture the rural entrepreneurship that eventually will create a sustainable urban–rural relationship. This study—the first of its kind—contributes to the advancement of research on rural tourism from a microeconomic perspective. It presents a conceptual framework for understanding rural tourism from a microeconomic perspective; empirically clarifies the specific issues and constraints for the development of CBRT; and also investigates how to overcome these issues.
Community-Based Tourism in the Developing World: Community Learning, Development & Enterprise (Contemporary Geographies of Leisure, Tourism and Mobility)
by Peter Wiltshier Alan ClarkeThis book analyses community-based approaches to developing and regenerating tourism destinations in the developing world, addressing this central issue in sustainable tourism practices. It reviews a variety of systems useful for analysing and understanding management issues to offer new insight into the skills and resources that are needed for implementation, ongoing monitoring and review of community-based tourism. Adopting a multidisciplinary approach, this book explores alternatives to the dominant interpretation which argues against tourism as a benefit for community development. International case studies throughout the book illustrate and vouch for tourism as a transformative force while clarifying the need to manage expectations in sustainable tourism for community development, rejuvenation and regeneration. Emphasis is placed on accruing relevant decision-support material, and creating services, products and management approaches that will endure and adapt as change necessitates. This will be of great interest to upper-level students, researchers and academics in the fields of tourism impacts, sustainability, ethics and development as well as the broader field of geography.

Community Resilience als Strategie zur Entwicklung von touristischen Destinationen (Entrepreneurial Management und Standortentwicklung)
by Daniel ZacherPersonen, Organisationen und Institutionen und deren funktionales Zusammenwirken spielen eine dezidierte Rolle im Aufbau von Resilienz, weshalb in der praktischen Implementierung dieses Ansatzes sowohl zentrale Koordination als auch partizipativ entwickelte und gestaltete Formate zum Tragen kommen. Diese Community Resilience ist zugleich die vorhandene Kompetenz und die wachsende Fähigkeit einer Gemeinschaft, Risiken abzuschätzen und sich in einem Umfeld weiterzuentwickeln, das von Veränderung, Unsicherheit und Unvorhersagbarkeit geprägt ist. Mit dieser Charakteristik kann Community Resilience einen Beitrag zur strategischen Destinationsentwicklung leisten, was anhand folgender Forschungsfrage untersucht wird: Inwiefern kann Community Resilience eine Strategie zur Entwicklung touristischer Destinationen darstellen? Daniel Zacher untersucht erstmalig die Vorzüge der Anwendung des Resilienz-Ansatzes in strategischen und organisationalen Fragen der Destinationsentwicklung. Dabei werden eine integrative konzeptionelle Betrachtung des Resilienz-Verständnisses für Destinationen im Spannungsfeld von ingenieurswissenschaftlicher, sozial-ökologischer und evolutionärer Perspektive dargestellt.

Como é Azul o Meu Vale
by Jean Gill ViniciusO verdadeiro aroma da Provença? Lavanda, tomilho e fossa séptica. Há centenas de coisas interessantes a se fazer numa banheira, mas lavar pratos não é uma delas, nem algo que a escritora Jean Gill tinha em mente, ao trocar o seu vale em Gales por um vale francês. Ávida por escapar do estômago do elefante, aquela mescla de névoa cinza que em Gales chama-se de clima, ela ofereceu seu certificado de natação a um perplexo corretor de imóveis provençal e comprou uma casa com belas estrelas e com sua própria água de nascente. Ou melhor, como descoberto depois, a nascente de um vizinho, que é a única a abastecer a cozinha e que, de acordo com os gentis rapazes da companhia de água, está escoando a água suja de forma ilegal direto na rua principal... e há coisas piores... Mas como é que se pode resistir a uma vila chamada Dieulefit, “Deus a fez”, a vila “aonde todos pertencem”? Descubra a verdadeira Provença em boa companhia. “Ri em voz alta... uma imagem tão vívida dos campos de lavandas, girassóis e oliveiras que você se sente como se estivesse lá com ela.” Stephanie Sheldrake, Revista Living France

Cómo viajar low cost
by Marta Aguilar Barbara Riedel«¿Por qué pienso que puedo aconsejarte sobre viajes de bajo presupuesto?

Cómo viajar sin ver
by Andrés NeumanUn cruce entre la narrativa más actual y la crónica relámpago. Una visión literaria, al vuelo, de la geografía entera de la lengua. Reflexionando sobre el escaso tiempo previsto para recorrer cada país con el Premio Alfaguara, el autor se pregunta si hoy nuestros viajes consisten sobre todo en no ver. «¿Estaré por experimentar una hipérbole del turismo contemporáneo?», escribe. Pero el ritmo radical de su periplo está a punto de brindarle una oportunidad única: comparar todas las capitales latinoamericanas en una misma ráfaga. Andrés Neuman nos propone un recorrido vertiginoso por 19 países, interpretados por un ojo poético y político. Los presuntos no-lugares (aeropuertos, hoteles, taxis) quedan así convertidos en poderosos espacios de conflicto. Explorando con agudeza los dilemas de la identidad nacional y las contradicciones de la globalización, Cómo viajar sin ver es un diario innovador y divertido que experimentacon las formas de nuestro tiempo. Y que le toma el pulso a la vida cultural del continente, abordando no solamente a sus clásicos sino también a las nuevas generaciones de creadores. Un libro esencial para cualquier persona interesada en la historia, la actualidad y el futuro de Latinoamérica. Una manera distinta de pensar nuestra cultura cambiante y el sentido del viaje. Críticas:«A partir de ahora, todo viajero curioso que recorra Latinoamérica debería llevar consigo este libro portátil, apasionante y verdadero, de alguien que sabe oír y mirar sin prejuicios, con la lucidez que le proporciona su visión generosa.» Fernando Valls, Ínsula «Una obra estupenda. [...] Una América tan compleja, tan variada [...] que el lector piensa que no hay ficción capaz de competir con una realidad que parece albergarla.»José María Pozuelo Yvancos, ABC «En El viajero del siglo, por el que ha recibido el Premio de la Crítica, Neuman revisitaba la novela del siglo XIX, el viaje de ida; y del resultado de su gira ha nacido una narración del XXI: una antítesis, una cara B.»Ulises Fuentes, La Razón «Un libro de chispazos que no está edificado sobre la frivolidad o la brillantez visual, sino sobre la perspicacia de la mirada. Neuman tiene unas gafas que son sólo suyas, y a través de ellas miramos.»Luisgé Martín, Gente «Los fogonazos de Neuman iluminan Latinoamérica. El escritor radiografía la diversidad del continente.»Paula Corroto, Público «Su aguda percepción se renueva en cada aterrizaje. Aflora la magia viajera del autor, la calidad de un escritor como Andrés Neuman.»Gabriel Cetkovich, Clarín (Argentina) «Un conjunto de instantáneas divertidas, fugaces, conmovidas y conmovedoras, deslumbrantes destellos de una pluma privilegiada.»Guillermo Roz, Periodista Digital «Una virtuosa demostración de escritura al vuelo. Altamente observador, Neuman se concentra en cada instante y captura pequeños detalles que a otros escritores se les habrían escapado [...] Un vertiginoso retrato de Latinoamérica en todas sus miserias y glorias.»Kirkus Reviews (EE. UU.) «No se trata de una literatura de viajes convencional, y sin embargo el libro funciona. Eso es gracias al ojo de Neuman para el absurdo y la ironía. Más importante aún es su talento para lo sucinto. Lugares y personas quedan capturados en una sola, atinada frase [...]. Pese a los kilómetros que recorre, se regocija en la quietud, ya que su gran pasión es la lectura.»Oliver Balch, The Spectator (Reino Unido)

A Compendium of Curious Colorado Place Names (History & Guide)
by Jim FlynnThe origins of Colorado place names offer insightful glimpses into the state's formative years. Emanuel Saltiel named his new community along the Arkansas River Cotopaxi, after a volcano in Ecuador. Rifle Creek and the town of Rifle earned their names thanks to a rifle left behind along the banks of the creek. Optimistic miners mistakenly believed Tarryall had an abundance of gold and thus named it as a place where prospectors could mine and tarry. And despite attempts by government officials to rename a small community along the I-70 corridor in western Colorado, locals refused to call it anything other than No Name. Learn these stories and more as author Jim Flynn unravels the intriguing origins of Centennial State place names.
