Rivers and streams sculpt our landscape, and have connected our communities throughout history, from mountain to estuary and to the wide sea beyond. They give us water and food, trade and transport yet they have a life-force all of their own. In this collection of traditional folk tales from wild rivers, lakes, and streams, Lisa Schneidau retells old stories of danger and transformation, of river goddesses, ghosts and the mysterious creatures that dwell in the watery arteries of Britain and Ireland.

A arte é o mais interdisciplinar dos constructos humanos, pois ela se transforma quando entra em contato com as outras áreas do saber, e este trabalho é um delicioso encontro das artes cartográficas, oriundas da junço de artes com geografia, com o traço comunicativo do Cartum, que nada mais e, do que arte com comunicaço.O conteudo historiografico e um pano de fundo para que os cartuns transmitam as mensagens graficas, facilitando a leitura dos principais fatos que se deram em algumas das sociedades estudadas no periodo escolar.

O livro almeja ser representativo nos principais debates contemporaneos, oferecendo uma viso panoramica sobre o campo na atualidade e permitindo-se aprofundar em algumas discusses selecionadas. O ambiente no pode ser reduzido ao "meio ambiente", a natureza no humana. Ele no e meramente algo que "nos envolve", um envoltorio: o ambiente somos tambem nos, seres humanos, historica e culturalmente situados. Quanto aos territorios, eles se estabelecem em intima conexo com os ambientes em suas dimenses paisagistica e material, quer sejam os processos geoecologicos, quer sejam as formas e as dinamicas socialmente produzidas. Analisar os territorios significa examinar como, a cada momento, os ambientes, seus recursos e significados so disputados e viram objeto de conflitos.O publico-alvo principal so os estudantes dos ultimos anos da graduaço, alem daqueles em nivel de pos-graduaço, de todas as areas que lidam com problemas e conflitos ambientais. Afora os pesquisadores iniciantes e os jovens universitarios em geral, porem, podemos presumir que profissionais experientes tambem podero tirar proveito do material de diversos capitulos. E razoavel, por fim, nutrir a expectativa de que muito do que este livro contem possa (retro)alimentar o ativismo ambiental critico e a pratica de combater as iniquidades e as distorçes que se acumulam em nossas sociedades, principalmente as muitas situaçes de flagrante injustiça ambiental.

Psychogeography. In recent years this term has been used to illustrate a bewildering array of ideas from ley lines and the occult, to urban walking and political radicalism. But where does it come from and what exactly does it mean?This book examines the origins of psychogeography in the Paris of the 1950s, exploring the theoretical background and its political application in the work of Guy Debord and the Situationists. Psychogeography continues to find retrospective validation in much earlier traditions, from the visionary writing of William Blake and Thomas De Quincey to the rise of the flaneur and the avant-garde experimentation of the Surrealists. These precursors to psychogeography are discussed here alongside their modern counterparts, for today these ideas hold greater currency than ever through the popularity of writers and filmmakers such as Iain Sinclair, Will Self and Patrick Keiller.From the urban wanderer to the armchair traveller, psychogeography provides us with new ways of experiencing our environment, transforming the familiar streets of our everyday experience into something new and unexpected. Merlin Coverley conducts the reader through this process, providing an explanation of the terms involved and an analysis of the key figures and their works.

Winner of the Mountbatten Award for Best Book, 2018 David Mearns has discovered some of the worlds most fascinating and elusive shipwrecks. From the mighty battlecruiser HMS Hood to the crumbling wooden skeletons of Vasco da Gamas 16th century fleet, David has searched for and found dozens of sunken vessels in every ocean of the world.The Shipwreck Hunter is an account of Davids most intriguing and fascinating finds. It details both the meticulous research and the mid-ocean stamina and courage required to find a wreck miles beneath the sea, as well as the moving human stories that lie behind each of these oceanic tragedies. Combining the derring-do of Indiana Jones with the precision of a surgeon, in The Shipwreck Hunter David Mearns opens a porthole into the shadowy depths of the ocean.

Artists and writers from the colder climes of northern Europe have long felt the lure of the South of the continent. Goethe was revitalised by his encounters with Mediterranean culture on his journey to Italy. Nietzsche took flight southwards to begin his life anew, while DH Lawrence sought the health-giving southern sun in Sicily and Sardinia.But across the centuries, other outposts of the South have provoked a similar obsession. The South Seas cast a spell over figures such as Herman Melville, Robert Louis Stevenson and Paul Gauguin. The American Deep South and the southermost reaches of Latin America have been celebrated in the works of writers as diverse as John Muir, Jack Kerouac and Jorge Luis Borges. While the Great White South of the Antarctic has provided the backdrop to the darkest imaginings of Coleridge, Poe and Lovecraft. Even London, south of the river, is a place where novelists compete today to stake out a literary territory of their own.Moving between geography and mythology, literature and history, South is the first book to look at all things Southern in one volume. It examines the idea of the South as a symbol of freedom and escape, as well as the depository for many of our deepest unconscious fears and desires. It also charts the history of the South as the chosen location for the utopian visions of the North. From the beaches of Tahiti to the streets of Buenos Aires, from Naples to New Orleans, Merlin Coverleys brilliant and wide-ranging study throws light on the ways in which the idea of the South, in all its forms, has come to exert such a powerful hold on our collective imaginations.

It was one of the worst episodes of the Nagorno-Karabakh war. For months, the townspeople of Khojaly, Azerbaijan, had endured nightly shelling by invading Armenian forces, which gradually surrounded the town. By 25 February 1992 all escape routes had been cut off. Armenian tanks, artillery and troops moved in, and so began the calculated finale to a crime against humanity. The inhabitants of Khojaly fled, wading across the freezing Gargar river and through the forested mountains. Emerging onto open land near the village of Nakhchivanik, they found none of the safety theyd hoped for, instead presenting easy targets for the Armenian guns awaiting them there. The townspeoples crime? As Azerbaijanis, they were inadvertent obstacles to the abstract dream of a Greater Armenia. Western journalists reporting on these savage events encountered doubts from their editors back home: surely they had confused aggressors with victims? They had not; and to help combat such misapprehensions, this book gathers first-hand accounts from the massacre and its aftermath. Here are testimonies from survivors, international journalists and photographers; reports from international humanitarian organisations; and even the thoughts of an Armenian commander as he picked his way across the killing fields. Resolutions condemning the atrocities were passed by the United Nations, the European Union and the Council of Europe, but they endure only as paper: the perpetrators remain unaccountable and in occupation, and some hold Armenias highest political offices. Khojalys survivors, meanwhile, are left with memories of their lost homes and loved ones, longing for justice.

Grand to look at, grand to look from, and grand to climb - so Great Gable was described over a hundred years ago. Probably the Lake Districts best loved hill, it receives twenty thousand ascents each year and has seen the birth of two separate sorts of hill sport. In The Riddle of Sphinx Rock, award-winning outdoor writer Ronald Turnbull asks why we find Great Gable so irresistibly attractive. His answer suggests that the greatness of Gable is far more than just a matter of getting to the top. As he walks, scrambles and climbs, he explores the subtleties of its terrain and its geology, history and myths. Youll meet characters and locations that are an integral part of its story: Wordsworth and his Wheel of Fells, Fanny Mercer and her bad alpenstock technique, the Wadd Holes and Pillar Rock, Moses Rigg and Geoffrey Winthrop Young. By turns intriguing and funny, erudite and provocative, The Riddle of Sphinx Rock was chosen by Trail magazine as one of six top titles in its How To Be Mountain Literate section: A boutique history of one the UKs most fascinating mountains, filled with memorable characters, classic routes and derring-do. Puts you in the historic thick of one of our most atmospheric and iconic mountains.
