        Ernest Shackleton

        Little People, Big Dreams. Deutsche Ausgabe | Kinderbuch ab 4 Jahre

        by María Isabel Sánchez Vegara, Olivia Holden, Silke Kleemann

        Ernest wuchs auf einer Farm in Irland auf. Aber es zog ihn in die weite Welt. Am liebsten las er Abenteuerromane. Schon als junger Mann nahm er an zwei Expeditionen zum Südpol teil. Ihr Ziel erreichten sie nicht, aber sein Ehrgeiz war so groß, dass er es erneut versuchte – mit einem eigenen Team. Einmal blieb ihr Schiff im Packeis stecken. In einer dramatischen Rettungsaktion gelang es ihm nach vielen Monaten, alle Männer zu retten. Die Menschen liebten ihn, denn er war nicht nur ein großer Polarforscher, sondern auch ein echter Team-Player. Little People, Big Dreams erzählt von den beeindruckenden Lebensgeschichten großer Menschen: Jede dieser Persönlichkeiten, ob Künstlerin, Pilotin oder Wissenschaftler, hat Unvorstellbares erreicht. Dabei begann alles, als sie noch klein waren: mit großen Träumen.

        Barbara Comyns

        A savage innocence

        by Avril Horner

        The extraordinary twentieth-century writer Barbara Comyns led a life as captivating as the narratives she spun. This pioneering biography reveals the journey of a woman who experienced hardship and single-motherhood before the age of thirty but went on to publish a sequence of novels that are unique in the English language. Comyns turned her hand to many jobs in order to survive, from artist's model to restoring pianos. Hundreds of unpublished letters reveal an occasionally desperate but resourceful and witty woman whose complicated life ranged from enduring poverty when young to mixing with spivs, spies and high society. While working as a housekeeper in her mid-thirties, Comyns began transforming the bleak episodes of her life into compelling fictions streaked with surrealism and deadpan humour. The Vet's Daughter (1959), championed by Graham Greene, brought her fame, although her use of the gothic and macabre divided readers and reviewers. This biography not only excavates Comyns's life but also reclaims her fiction, providing a timely reassessment of her literary contribution. It sheds new light on a remarkable author who deftly captured the complexities of human life.

        by David Harrison, Richard Sharpley, Hazel Andrews, Julio Aramberri, Gregory Ashworth, Raoul Bianchi, Sue Bleasdale, Kelly Bricker, Jim Butcher, Erik Cohen, David T. Duvall, Martin Farr, John Heeley, Andrew Holden, Stanislav Ivanov, Heather Jeffrey, Gabriele Manella, Chris Ryan, Asterio Savelli, Hongdi Shen, John E Tunbridge, David Weaver, Paul F Wilkinson

        This new book reviews all aspects of the phenomenon of mass tourism. It covers theoretical perspectives (including political economy, ethics, sustainability and environmentalism), the historical context, and the current challenges to domestic, intra-regional and international mass tourism. As tourism and tourist numbers continue to grow around the world, it becomes increasingly important that this subject is studied in depth and best practice applied in real-life situations. This book: - Is the first to address a range of theoretical issues relating to mass tourism; - Uses a wide selection of case studies to translate theory into practice, covering the historical rise and fall of UK seaside resorts, the increase in Chinese tourism, conflict between different mass tourism groups, destination transformation from mass to niche tourism, and specific problems facing cruise ships; - Is written by a range of international, established authors to give a global perspective on the subject. Finishing with a speculative chapter identifying potential future trends and challenges, this book forms an essential resource for all researchers and students within tourism studies. ; Section 1: Introduction1: Introduction: Mass Tourism in a Small WorldSection 2: Theoretical Approaches to Mass Tourism2: Mass Tourism Does Not Need Defending3: The Morality of Mass Tourism4: The Political Economy of Mass Tourism and its Contradictions5: A Theoretical Approach to Mass Tourism in Italy6: Sustainability and Mass Tourism: A Contradiction in Terms?7: Mass Tourism and the Environment: Issues and DilemmasSection 3: Historical Studies of Tourism Development8: The Dynamics of Tourism Development in Britain: The Profit Motive and that ‘Curious’ Alliance of Private Capital and the Local State9: From Holiday Camps to the All-inclusive: the ‘Butlinization’ of Tourism10: Decline Beside the Seaside: British Seaside Resorts and Declinism11: Mass Tourism and the US National Park Service System12: Transport and Tourism: The Perpetual LinkSection 4: Case Studies in Modern Mass Tourism13: Mass Tourism and China14: Mass Tourism in Thailand: The Chinese and Russians15: Mass Tourism in Bulgaria: The Force Awakens16: Mass Tourism in Mallorca: Examples from Calivià17: Tunisia: Mass Tourism in Crisis?18: From Blue to Grey?

        A Killing at Croppa Creek

        by Kate Holden

        An epic true story of greed and malice, power and revenge, from an acclaimed Australian storyteller   2014, Moree, New South Wales: Ian Turnbull, a 79-year-old farmer from a grazier family with a legacy stretching to white settlement, is embroiled in a legal case sparked by Glen Turner, an environmental officer who witnesses illegal land clearing on Turnbull’s property.    As night falls, Turnbull confronts Turner on a road abutting the property. After stalking him for twenty minutes, he shoots Turner repeatedly, finally ending his life with a shot in the back. The explosive effects of this murder rip through the local community, the courts and all who come into the story’s orbit.  This brutal killing is a crucible for the most urgent questions for Australians today. How do we manage the land in a time of crisis? In an age of climate change and species destruction, is the divide between urban conservationists and rural landholders forever intractable? Can we learn to use the soil to which we all belong without stripping it bare? Kate Holden brings her discerning eye to this gripping tale of land, law, retribution and clemency. The Winter Road speaks to the heart of the nation we are, and the nation we should seek to become.
