Presents a wealth of original research findings on how medieval
ports actually worked, providing new insights on shipping, trade,
port society and culture, and systems of regional and international
integration. This book responds to the increasing interest of
maritime historians in the study of ports. These enclaves offer
significant insights into a variety of subjects, including ships
and shipping; trade, commodities, and consumption patterns; the
economy, society and culture of port workers and port communities;
and systems of regional and international integration. Based on
extensive research in a wide range of European archives, the book
provides much detailon the nature of ports in the medieval period,
especially on the crucial subject of the operation of ports.
Covering a range of ports in France, Spain, Portugal and the Canary
Islands, the book contains a wealth of original research findings.
It will be particularly welcomed by English-speaking scholars and
others outside the region analysed, since it gives access to
non-English-language archives, thereby considerably enriching the
study of medieval portsbeyond ports in Britain and Ireland.
En 1935 se cumplieron trescientos anos de la muerte de uno de los
autores mas reconocidos y universales de las letras espanolas, Lope
de Vega. Para conmemorar tal hito, se organizo un amplio y variado
numero de actos a lo largo del ano, pero las especiales
circunstancias que rodearon la efemeride en nuestro pais marcaron
de forma decisiva algunas de las celebraciones y acercamientos al
autor: la inestabilidad y los enfrentamientos que llevarian al pais
a la Guerra un ano despues ya estaban presentes en la sociedad
espanola de 1935, y el peso de cuestiones ideologicas o politicas
dejo su huella en la manera de acercarse al Fenix. Asi, este ano
nos encontramos con distintas imagenes de Lope y tratamientos que
en ocasiones llegan a manipular la realidad o a apropiarse de la
memoria y la figura del poeta. En el presente trabajo se pretende
realizar una revision de la actividad conmemorativa desarrollada
dentro y fuera de Espana, con especial atencion al lugar ocupado
por las representaciones teatrales de obras lopescas. Pero, ademas,
uno de nuestros principales intereses es estudiar el papel que la
prensa de informacion general jugo en la creacion y difusion de
dichas imagenes: a traves de noticias, resenas, criticas y
articulos de opinion, no solo veremos como se desarrollo el ano del
tricentenario, sino tambien cual fue el Lope de Vega que conocio la
sociedad del momento, que proposito tenian las mencionadas
manipulaciones y que conexion se establecio entre el autor y la
Espana de preguerra.
Understanding human beings and their distinctive rational and
volitional capacities is one of the central tasks of philosophy.
The task requires a clear account of such things as reasons,
desires, emotions and motives, and of how they combine to produce
and explain human behaviour. In Kinds of Reasons, Maria Alvarez
offers a fresh and incisive treatment of these issues, focusing in
particular on reasons as they feature in contexts of agency. Her
account builds on some important recent work in the area; but she
takes her main inspiration from the tradition that receives its
seminal contemporary expression in the writings of G.E.M. Anscombe,
a tradition that runs counter to the broadly Humean orthodoxy that
has dominated the theory of action for the past forty years.
Alvarez's conclusions are therefore likely to be controversial; and
her bold and painstaking arguments will be found provocative by
participants on every side of the debates with which she engages.
Clear and directly written, Kinds of Reasons aims to stake out a
distinctive position within one of the most hotly contested areas
of contemporary philosophy.
Heritage tourism is tied to myth making and stories; creative
content that can be shared, stored, combined and manipulated, but
that depends on a unique cultural or natural history. A significant
section of the wider phenomenon that is cultural tourism, heritage
tourism is a demand-driven industry that continues to be a subject
of heated debate in academic circles. Beginning with an overview of
the subject, this book considers the conservation and
revitalization of heritage destinations, as well as the role local
communities have in supporting an attraction. It then discusses
product development and communication around the world, using new
techniques such as social media and examples from food tourism and
sporting events, before a final section reviews the planning and
institutionalisation of heritage spaces. A timely conclusion
subsequently considers the implications of developments such as
globalisation, technological improvement and climate change upon
these unique destinations. A valuable addition to the literature,
this book is the first to bridge the gap between theory and
practice, including the latest research and international case
studies for researchers and practitioners in tourism and
destination management.

In these pages you will read about one woman's trials, mistakes and
victories through the Lord in her fight to follow Gods plan for her
life, and she openly shares some powerful tools that have proven to
work for her. Celibacy and temptation are not popular topics,
that's why she felt lead to write about them. She struggled with
these issues on her own, but wanted to share her hard-headedness,
confesses her weaknesses and her life's lessons that just may save
you from making some of the small and not so small mistakes she
made herself. Her casual style of writing makes you feel
comfortable and right at home with her. You may be surprised to
find yourself relating to many of her same situations. She is frank
and direct with some issues that are almost taboo in Christian
society, but as she tells you, "These are the very issues single
Christian women find themselves struggling with today. They are
real and powerful. God knows I'm a slow learner and that sometimes
I need a brick dropped on my head to learn the lesson. It's really
quite simple and very doable." She encourages. "Society has tainted
so many words of great value like: submit, obey, abstinence,
virtue, and purity. These are the very things the Bible speaks so
clearly of. Look to God and you will find these words appearing in
your daily life, keep your eyes on Him and you will learn to
cherish them for all their worth. The enemy has been mastering his
perfect plan to destroy the value such words, but even worse, he
has been working even harder to destroy you. But through God all
things are possible, even celibacy."
