Viajes a ferias y congresos, viajes de incentivo, de peregrinación, viajes con niños... Descubre con humor la cara menos amable de algunos viajes a los que muchos viajeros se someten (o se ven sometidos)El turismo es uno de los mayores negocios que mueven al mundo y se alimenta de viajeros avidos de conocer el rincon mas remoto del planeta, tener la experiencia turistica mas excentrica o apuntarse al ultimo grito en viajes. Por ello, en muchas ocasiones estos viajes, lejos de acabar en vivencias agradables y enriquecedoras, se tornan en autenticas pesadillas.El autor analiza en este libro 11 tipologias distintas de hacer turismo (de congresos y ferias, de incentivos, de aventuras, de peregrinacion, sexual...) con un acido sentido del humor y un espiritu critico. Tambien trata sobre la predisposicion de algunos viajeros a disfrutar a toda costa de sus escapadas aunque las realicen a lugares o en condiciones que a otros muchos mortales les harian salir corriendo en direccion contraria. Y pone el acento en la fina linea que existe entre turista accidental (y accidentado) y el viajero responsable.

Die Autorin schatzt die vegane Kuche der Asoke und lernt den einzigartigen Geruch von frischem Reis, Limettenbluten und verbranntem Kunststoff zu lieben. In ihren Ohren klingt das unheimliche Knarzen riesiger Bambusstangen im Wind genau so aufregend wie schrille Thaimusik. Die Rufe der Kinder, die in blauen Schuluniformen auf der Strae Fangen spielen, gehoren zu ihrem Alltag.Von der Zeit als Englischlehrerin, Gartnerin, Kuchen- und Putzhilfe und den vielen festlichen Anlassen in der Dorfgemeinschaft berichtet Carla genauso begeistert wie von ihren Reisen in die Nachbarlander Laos, Kambodscha und Malaysia.

Este libro es un tributo a los artistas que nos visitaron, al aporte que hicieron a la cultura, y, obviamente, a la recreación que brindaron durante casi siglo y medio; y un reconocimiento a las inclemencias que debieron afrontar para desplazarse a estas tierras, por caminos intransitables, con enfermedades tropicales, y aun la muerte de sus compañeros.Es una investigacion profunda y seria, resultado de años de busqueda de anecdotas, recuerdos y de analisis de periodicos, libros, revistas y entrevistas. Igualmente, de comentarios y criticas a las experiencias observadas y vividas, las cuales, espero, motivaran al lector a involucrarse en los momentos que hicieron historia y cultura.El libro cuenta con fotos y programas que las compañias entregaron, documentos originales que representan una bibliografia adicional invaluable. Mas que un anecdotario, es un documento historico que servira como medio eficaz de consulta.Las compañias que nos visitaron en epocas lejanas estaban de paso por nuestra tierra con un objetivo prioritario: cantar y presentar sus obras en los principales teatros de America; muchas habian hecho escala en La Habana, importante centro de cultura.

Luomo e le sue macchine, molto e stato scritto sullargomento, sullelevazione del rapporto col proprio mezzo di trasporto, al punto tale da consolidare una sorta di relazione affettiva. E quando si parla di mare e di yachting, il legame e se possibile ancora piu intimo, perche di una barca ci si innamora, e inevitabile. Piano piano ogni analisi razionale perde di significato lasciando il posto ad un bisogno assoluto che puo indurre a comportamenti surreali.Durante un viaggio in Florida, sono venuto a contatto con una vecchia barca e con il suo armatore. Pochi minuti e la mia vita non sarebbe stata piu la stessa. Dopo aver inseguito per quasi due anni quello che allora era poco piu di un sogno, mi sono letteralmente imbarcato in una avventura ben al di sopra delle mie capacita. I quattro anni che sono seguiti, mi hanno visto al centro di una serie incredibile di eventi; spaziando dalla costa orientale dellAmerica allaltro lato dellOceano in Europa, passando per lArcipelago delle Azzorre, tra colpi di scena, trionfi e fallimenti, con una determinazione e una fede incrollabile, cui e difficile dare una spiegazione, ho affrontato difficolta inaudite nel tentativo di portare a termine un ambizioso progetto.Durante la mia avventura ho spesso esplorato quella zona grigia e quella sottile linea di confine che separa le cosiddette virtu di tenacia, determinazione e forza di volonta dai piu temibili dei difetti: ostinazione, cocciutaggine e irragionevolezza.Questo racconto e unoccasione per riflettere su quanto indefiniti questi vizi e qualita possano risultare e quanto facilmente si possa trascendere in entrambe le direzioni, spesso inconsapevolmente e quanto la passione di un gruppo di uomini, possa rendere possibile limpossibile, anche oltre ogni ragionevole limite.È una storia fuori dallordinario che parla di amicizia, di resistenza e di fatica. È una storia di mare, di onde alte e di sale sulla faccia. È una storia di forza di volonta e di quattromila miglia da ricordare una dopo laltra e da condividere, come si usa tra marinai.

La Historia es un conocimiento definido por las modernas condiciones de la objetividad, inserto en demandas, prácticas y representaciones que adquieren carácter, sentido y utilidad para una sociedad en un momento dado. Es tambien una invitacion a comprender esa triple dimension que alcanza el estudio del pasado: un discurso que se ocupa de lo-acontecido, unos procedimientos tecnicos que indagan sobre la naturaleza del mismo y que cobran orden y coherencia a la luz de una narracion hilvanada, ordenada y sistematizada en forma escrita y, finalmente, una presen taci6n material de tales procedimientos: articulos o libros, impresos o virtuales, que constituyen la forma encarnada de un saber que de este modo se hace aprehensible e inteligible para la sociedad.

In the northwest corner of the Territory of Wyoming, about half way between the Mississippi River and the Pacific Ocean, and in the same latitude as the State of New York, the grand Rocky Mountain system culminates in a knot of peaks and ranges enclosing the most remarkable lake basin in the world. From this point radiate the chief mountain ranges, and three of the longest rivers of the Continentthe Missouri, the Columbia, and the Colorado.On the south are the Wind River Mountains, a snow-clad barrier which no white man has ever crossed. On the east is the Snowy Mountain Range, and the grand cluster of volcanic peaks between it and Yellowstone Lake. On the west is the main divide of the Rocky Mountains. On the north are the bold peaks of the Gallatin Range, and the parallel ridges which give a northward direction to all the great tributaries of the Missouri from this region.Set like a gem in the centre of this snow-rimmed crown of the continent, is the loveliest body of fresh water on the globe, its dark-blue surface at an elevation greater than that of the highest clouds that fleck the azure sky of a summers day, over the tops of the loftiest mountains of the East. Its waters teem with trout, and the primeval forests that cover the surrounding country are crowded with game. But these are the least of its attractions. It is the wildness and grandeur of the enclosing mountain scenery, and still more the curious, beautiful, wonderful and stupendous natural phenomena which characterize the region, that have raised it to sudden fame, and caused it to be set apart by our national government as a grand national play-ground and museum of unparalleled, indeed incomparable, marvels, free to all men for all time.

In einem Wohnmobilforum wurde vor mehr als zehn Jahren ein Lithium Batteriesystem als Ersatz fur die schweren Bleibatterien vorgestellt und damit den speicherhungrigen Wohnmobilfahrern naher gebracht. Viele Wohnmobilfahrer folgten diesen Gedanken und Vorschlagen.Die Vorteile sind bestechend: 50% Gewichtsersparnis bei doppelter Nettokapazitat und hoherer Entnahmestrom ohne Spannungseinbruche. Der geeignete Batteriespeicher um Kaffeemaschine, Fon, Induktionsherd besser zu versorgen und vielleicht auch noch die Pedelec-Akkus zu laden.In der ersten Generation waren es selbstgebaute Systeme mit den gelben Winston Zellen in einer Holzkiste, Balancermodule auf den Polen und ein Solid state Relay fur einen UVP/OVP Schutz.Damit sammelte man Erfahrungen und mit der zweiten Generation zog der Markt mit sogenannten Drop in Ersatz fur Bleiakku nach die man, zumindest laut Werbung, 1:1 gegen die alte Bleibatterie tauschen kann. In der dritten Generation kamen dann die blauen Becherzellen und Smart BMS mit integriertem Batteriecomputer und Smartphone App zum Einsatz. Aber sowohl fur den Eigenbau als auch fur die Drop in Systeme sollte man einige Dinge wissen.In diesem Kompendium fur Lithiumbatterien in Wohnmobilen mochte ich Ihnen diese Technologie und Aufrustung mit all ihren Vor- und Nachteilen erklaren und Sie damit vielleicht auch zum Selbstbau oder Austausch ihrer Bleibatterie anregen.Wenn Ihnen die Chemie zu viel ist starten Sie Ihre Informationsreise einfach ab dem Vergleich Lithium zu Blei.Viel Spa beim Lesen und gutes Gelingen!
