This edited collection provides an introduction to the emerging
interdisciplinary field of cultural mapping, offering a range of
perspectives that are international in scope. Cultural mapping is a
mode of inquiry and a methodological tool in urban planning,
cultural sustainability, and community development that makes
visible the ways local stories, practices, relationships, memories,
and rituals constitute places as meaningful locations. The chapters
address themes, processes, approaches, and research methodologies
drawn from examples in Australia, Canada, Estonia, the United
Kingdom, Egypt, Italy, Malaysia, Malta, Palestine, Portugal,
Singapore, Sweden, Syria, the United Arab Emirates, the United
States, and Ukraine. Contributors explore innovative ways to
encourage urban and cultural planning, community development,
artistic intervention, and public participation in cultural
mapping-recognizing that public involvement and artistic practices
introduce a range of challenges spanning various phases of the
research process, from the gathering of data, to interpreting data,
to presenting "findings" to a broad range of audiences. The book
responds to the need for histories and case studies of cultural
mapping that are globally distributed and that situate the practice
locally, regionally, nationally, and internationally.

Rugby At Newlands tells the legendary story of every Springbok Test
Match at Newlands Rugby Stadium, the oldest continually used rugby
stadium in the world. This comprehensive review is to be published
the year after Newlands became the first South African stadium to
host fifty Test matches – which, coincidentally, may be the total
number it ever hosts. The epic journey of Springbok Test rugby at
Newlands begins in 1891 and is covered here until the 50th Test in
2014. In addition to describing the great moments and titanic
clashes of each game, the authors place the matches in the context
of their time. Chapters are enhanced by unique illustrations, from
rare match programmes to iconic photographs; and by contributions
from various rugby greats who have trod the hallowed turf of
Newlands, including Springboks Naas Botha and Divan Serfontein and
British Lion Willie John McBride. With the future of Newlands Rugby
Stadium in the balance, the time is apt for this celebration of one
of the world’s great sporting stadiums.
It was the year 1891, and the first rugby football team from the
British Isles was about to embark on a tour of South Africa; any
doubts about the financial sustainability of the venture were
removed when mining magnate Cecil John Rhodes thumped the table and
declared, 'Let them come. I shall stand security for any
shortfall.' And so, a tradition began that survived the financial
insecurities of the pioneer years, two World Wars, sports boycotts,
and the birth of the professional era. This book covers these tours
from when matches were played on dusty fields and rugby players
were transported in carts over poor roads in the Karoo, in coaches
that broke down and on slow trains that, on occasion, caught fire.
Crowds were also small in number until 2009 when feted players
enjoyed every luxury as they played in some of the finest rugby
stadiums in the world in front of enormous crowds. This carefully
researched book is the first ever published to focus on all the
matches played by the Lions in the 130 years of contests in
southern Africa and recounts famous victories, agonizing defeats
and nail-biting draws! A welcome addition to any rugby fan's
bookshelf.
Hey, Canada! This is a collection of jokes all about you! Make fun

funny bone!
