The home of Heathcliffe and Nora Batty, the wild and wuthering
South Pennines is where Yorkshire and Lancashire collide, a
watershed landscape of great natural beauty which is home to proud
and welcoming communities with a heritage of rugged farming and
industrial hard graft. This collection of forty walks explores the
steep-sided valleys, heather moorlands, craggy hills and gritsone
villages which have inspired and attracted writers and artists for
generations to this unspoilt upland haven just a stone's throw from
some of northern England's largest towns and cities.
Many accounts of tourism have adopted an almost paradigmatic visual
model of the gaze. This collection presents an expanded notion of
spectatorship with a more dynamic sense of embodied and performed
engagement with places. The approach resonates with ideas in
anthropology, sociology, and geography on performance, invented
traditions, constructed places and traveling cultures.
Contributions highlight the often contradictory, contested and
paradoxical constructions of landscape and community involved both
in tourist attractions and among tourists themselves. The
collection examines many different practices, ranging from the
energetic pursuit of adventure holidays to the reading of holiday
brochures. It illustrates different techniques of seeing the
landscape and a variety of ways of creating and performing the
local. Chapters thus demonstrate the mutual entanglement of
practices, images, conventions, and creativity. They chart these
global flows of people, texts, images, and artefacts. Case studies
are drawn from diverse types of tourism and destination focused
around North America, Europe, and Australasia.
Made up of the old counties of Wigtownshire and The Stewartry,
Galloway covers a vast swathe of Scotland's quiet southwest corner.
This under-discovered area offers 260km of coast, full of sandy
beaches and towering cliffs, lonely heather-clad moors and quiet
hills. Add to this plenty of wildlife, a rich artistic heritage,
strong spiritual influences and a climate kissed by the warming
Gulf Stream, and you have a region beckoning to be visited. Darren
Flint and Donald Greig's hand-picked selection of 40 walks reveals
the sheer variety of landscapes that makes Galloway so special -
from the Mull of Galloway, Scotland's most southerly point, to the
sweeping Nith Estuary, via Merrick, South Scotland's highest hill
and plenty of hidden corners.

The second volume Sheading of Michael embraces the parishes of Kirk
Michael, Ballaugh, and Jurby on the western side of the island. The
material appears in alphabetical form with discussion of any
problems of interpretation, and a listing of the elements making up
the names. Field names are given under their respective forms. In
the absence of early documentary material in Man, especially for
the main native language Manx Gaelic, the testimony of place-names
is therefore important in tracing the development of spoken Gaelic
in the island from ca. 13th century onwards. It is also important
for the distribution of name elements showing patterns of
settlement, whether Gaelic, Scandinavian, etc., and for comparative
place-name research in adjacent areas, particularly Ireland,
south-western Scotland, and northern England.
AdventureMaps provide global travellers with the perfect

This volume suggests a model of collective memory that
distinguishes between two conceptual logics of memory
fragmentation: vertical fragmentation and horizontal fragmentation.
It offers a series of case studies of conflict and post-conflict
collective memory, shedding light on the ways various actors
participate in the production, dissemination, and contestation of
memory discourses. With attention to the characteristics of both
vertical and horizontal memory fragmentation, the book addresses
the plurality of diverging, and often conflicting, memory
discourses that are produced within the public sphere of a given
community. It analyzes the juxtaposition, tensions, and
interactions between narratives produced beyond or below the
central state, often transcending national boundaries. The book is
structured according to the type of actors involved in a memory
fragmentation process. It explores how states have been trying to
produce and impose memory discourses on civil societies, sometimes
even against the experiences of their own citizens, and how such
efforts as well as backlash from actors below and beyond the state
have led to horizontal and vertical memory fragmentation.
Furthermore, it considers the attempts by states’ representatives
to reassert control of national memory discourses and the
subsequent resistances they face. As such, this volume will appeal
to sociology and political science scholars interested in memory
studies in post-conflict societies.

The first volume -Sheading of Glenfaba- embraces the parishes of

Witches and Warlocks of New York is a collection of legends and
historical accounts about witches and warlocks from the Empire
State. This will be the second in a series (the first being
Massachusetts publishing September 1, 2021). New York has a
surprisingly rich history of witches and witchcraft. These stories
are known locally in the towns where they occurred but have never
been collected into one book before. Included are a history and
origins of witchcraft in New York State and historical tales of
"witches" across the state including Hulda and the thirteen Witches
of the Catskills.
This is an important document in the history of Japanese-American
relations. In 2002, President Bush spoke of the great Japanese
scholar and statesman Inazo Nitobe, who envisioned a future of
friendship between the two nations. This book is one of the means
by which Nitobe sought to bridge the Pacific. Writing before World
War I, he presents a detailed account of Japan and the Japanese in
terms easily understandable to western readers, emphasising points
of similarity rather than difference, often citing the work of
western historians and philosophers in order to explain Japanese
practices, always searching for common aims and goals. He deals
with the effect of the past on the present, national
characteristics, religious beliefs, morals and moral ideals,
education, economic conditions, Japan as coloniser, relations
between the United States and Japan, and AmericaaEURO (TM)s
influence in the Far East, concluding with the hope that wherever
else war may break out, lasting peace would reign over the Pacific.
In this he was disappointed, but the fact that Nitobe is cited
today as the architect of Japanese-American friendship makes this
volume essential reading for the historian.
Don't just see the sights-get to know the people. New Zealand, or
Aotearoa (the "Land of the Long, White Cloud") as it is known by
the Maori population, is a land of myth and reality, contrast and
contradiction, rolling hills and glacial mountains, native bush and
gentle farmland. Its people are friendly and welcoming and will
often go the extra mile to help you without expecting anything in
return. Maori heritage and culture are an integral part of Aotearoa
today, and wherever you go, its influence is palpable. As a nation
of immigrants, New Zealanders are used to newcomers, yet those who
take the time to learn about the country's traditions and the
values that people hold dear will be rewarded with a more
meaningful and enriching experience of this beautiful land. Culture
smart! New Zealand helps you get to the heart of this diverse and
multicultural nation. It examines the impact of history, religion,
and politics, while tips and vital insights into Kiwi attitudes,
customs, and social life will help deepen your experience of this
country and its fair-minded people. Have a richer and more
meaningful experience abroad through a better understanding of the
local culture. Chapters on history, values, attitudes, and
traditions will help you to better understand your hosts, while
