Ruta M-5 reúne una serie de viajes acometidos desde casa, en el sentido de que su redacción surgió en la época del confinamiento pandémico. El autor aprovechó para recuperar información de sus diarios de viaje anteriores, así como de la revisión de su colección de diapositivas y fotografías. Con el tiempo, mientras lo escribía, finalizó el confinamiento, se superó la pandemia y volvieron los viajes. Algunos de ellos para completar el proyecto. Los destinos se agrupan en cinco bloques temáticos cuyos títulos empiezan por la letra M. El orden es infantil: ma, me, mi, mo y mu. Gran parte del libro se escribió durante ese largo post-confinamiento domiciliario en el que ya se podía salir de casa, pero evolucionaba con constantes dificultades de movilidad de intensidad oscilante. Por eso, estas páginas proponen viajar algo en el espacio-tiempo presente, mucho a través del pasado y de otros medios, pero también incorporan algunas escapadas reales recientes.El primero de ellos se titula Malt Whisky. En él viajamos por medio del color, el aroma y el paladar. Bebiendo whisky y asociándolo con su cultura, así como su entorno de producción en Escocia. Para ello se lee, se bebe, se recuperan diarios de viajes anteriores y algunas otras experiencias relacionadas con este licor. Incluye un regreso real a Escocia.

'Moving Islands' is John's seventh memoir book, and it continues very much in the same vein as the previous six, in that it's highly amusing, even laugh-out-loud in places, yet also informative and educational, giving a unique insight into what it's like not only to move to Greece from the UK, but also how one goes about moving from one island to another, a watershed in their lives that neither the author nor his wife had foreseen coming. If you've ever wondered what might be involved in upping sticks and moving house to a different Greek island, always assuming that, like the author, you'd made the life-changing decision to move countries many years earlier, then read this book and you'll either vow never to do it yourself, or to keep this work close-by as a guide for getting through the whole complicated and sometimes hugely frustrating experience.

THE Fates were unkind to the Balkan Peninsula. Because of its position, it was forced to stand in the path of the greatest racial movements of the world, and was thus the scene of savage racial struggles, and the depositary of residual shreds of nations surviving from great defeats or Pyrrhic victories and cherishing irreconcilable mutual hatreds. As if that were not enough of ill fortune imposed by geographical position, the great Roman Empire elected to come from its seat in the Italian Peninsula to die in the Balkan Peninsula, a long drawn-out death of many agonies, of many bloody disasters and desperate retrievals. For all the centuries of which history knows a blood-mist has hung over the Balkans; and for the centuries before the dawn of written history one may surmise that there was the same constant struggle of warring races.

We have progressed appreciably beyond the days of the old horseless carriage, which, it will be remembered, retained even the dashboard. To-day the modern automobile somewhat resembles, in its outlines, across between a decapod locomotive and a steam fire-engine, or at least something concerning the artistic appearance of which the layman has very grave doubts. The control of a restive horse, a cranky boat, or even a trolley-car on rails is difficult enough for the inexperienced, and there are many who would quail before making the attempt; but to the novice in charge of an automobile, some serious damage is likely enough to occur within an incredibly short space of time, particularly if he does not take into account the tremendous force and power which he controls merely by the moving of a tiny lever, or by the depressing of a pedal.

Climate change has put the survival andviability of wine-growing regions at risk. Whereas the implementation of sustainableapproaches was once seen as a source of competitive advantage, it is now criticalto the survival of the industry.

Itfeatures best practices from around the world that wineriesand wine tourism companies can incorporate into their core business functionsto make their operations more sustainable and also showcases how wineries have designedtheir tourism offerings to meet sustainable tourism development objectives

»Warum schreibe ich dieses Buch?«, fragt sich der Autor Achim Konejung. »Weil ich auf den Schlachtfeldern Europas als Kind aufgewachsen bin - in Belgien, weil ich mich damit auseinandersetzen musste - in Frankreich, in England - und mich die Faszination an diesen unheimlichen Orten des Todes nicht losgelassen hat.«Später arbeitete Konejung als Battlefield-Guide, bis er irgendwann von der Gewalttätigkeit des Themas so überfordert war, dass er die Arbeit niederlegen musste. Jetzt, nach und mit den neuerlichen Kriegen in Europa, nimmt er das Thema nochmals in die Hand und setzt sich mit den Orten der Vergangenheit auseinander: Was können uns Schlachtfelder sagen? Haben wir wirklich verstanden, was die Warnung der Vergangenheit bedeutet? Sind wir bereit zu lernen? Oder sind die touristisch in Wert gesetzten Schlachtfelder von Waterloo, des Ersten und Zweiten Weltkriegs einfach nur dunkle Vergnügungsparks geworden?

With heart, humor, and razor-sharp observation, this intimate and incisive memoir traces the journey of a Black, queer woman as she searches the world for a place of security and acceptance to call homeI’ve never seen home as a permanent concept; it is an image crafted from untempered glass that threatens to shatter with lack of care.Jennifer Neal was born in the United States to a family that moved continuously for their own survival and well-being—from the Great Migration to the twenty-first century. As an adult, she has continued to travel the world as a Black queer woman, across two decades and four countries—from Japan to the US and then Australia to Germany, where she has settled for now.Throughout her moves, Neal threads her personal story of immigration with local Black histories and racial politics to provide context for her own experiences. The result is both a crucial examination of how racism plays a foundational role in modern-day immigration systems and a tender tribute to immigrants and their stories.An unwavering interrogation of colonialism and policy, love and loss, hypocrisy and resistance, My Pisces Heart demands meaningful conversation about not only the ways in which we live with our histories, but also how they live through us—urging an honest dialogue on why the West continues to grapple with its past and visualize its future.

Veteran traveler and textile expert Chris Aslan explores the Silk, Wool and Cotton Roads of Central Asia. Three textile roads tangle their way through Central Asia. The famous Silk Road united east and west through trade. Older still was the Wool Road, of critical importance when houses made from wool enabled nomads to traverse the inhospitable winter steppes. Then there was the Cotton Road, marked by greed, colonialism and environmental disaster. At this intersection of human history, fortunes were made and lost through shimmering silks, life-giving felts and gossamer cottons. Chris Aslan, who has spent fifteen years living and working in the region, expertly unravels the strands of this tangled history and embroiders them with his own experiences of life in the heart of Asia.

The Pyreneean valley in which the baths of Vernet are situated is not much known to English, or indeed to any travellers. Tourists in search of good hotels and picturesque beauty combined, do not generally extend their journeys to the Eastern Pyrenees. They rarely get beyond Luchon; and in this they are right, as they thus end their peregrinations at the most lovely spot among these mountains, and are as a rule so deceived, imposed on, and bewildered by guides, innkeepers, and horse owners, at this otherwise delightful place, as to become undesirous of further travel. Nor do invalids from distant parts frequent Vernet. People of fashion go to the Eaux Bonnes and to Luchon, and people who are really ill to Bareges and Cauterets. It is at these places that one meets crowds of Parisians, and the daughters and wives of rich merchants from Bordeaux, with an admixture, now by no means inconsiderable, of Englishmen and Englishwomen. But the Eastern Pyrenees are still unfrequented. And probably they will remain so; for though there are among them lovely valleys¿and of all such the valley of Vernet is perhaps the most lovely¿they cannot compete with the mountain scenery of other tourists loved regions in Europe. At the Port de Venasquez and the Breche de Roland in the Western Pyrenees, or rather, to speak more truly, at spots in the close vicinity of these famous mountain entrances from France into Spain, one can makecomparisons with Switzerland, Northern Italy, the Tyrol, and Ireland, which will not be injurious to the scenes then under view. But among the eastern mountains this can rarely be done. The hills do not stand thickly together so as to group themselves; the passes from one valley to another, though not wanting in altitude, are not close pressed together with overhanging rocks, and are deficient in grandeur as well as loveliness. And then, as a natural consequence of all this, the hotels¿are not quite as good as they should be.

We was playin' rummy over to Hatch's, and Hatch must of fell in a bed of four leaf clovers on his way home the night before, because he plays rummy like he does everything else; but this night I refer to you couldn't beat him, and besides him havin' all the luck my Missus played like she'd been bought off, so when we come to settle up we was plain seven and a half out. You know who paid it. So Hatch says: "They must be some game you can play." "No," I says, "not and beat you. I can run two blocks w'ile you're stoopin' over to start, but if we was runnin' a foot race between each other, and suppose I was leadin' by eighty yards, a flivver'd prob'ly come up and hit you in the back and bump you over the finishin' line ahead o' me." So Mrs. Hatch thinks I'm sore on account o' the seven-fifty, so she says: "It don't seem fair for us to have all the luck." "Sure it's fair!" I says. "If you didn't have the luck, what would you have?" "I know," she says; "but I don't never feel right winnin' money at cards." "I don't blame you," I says.

Britain is an emergent mass of land rising from a submarine platform that attaches it to the Continent of Europe. The shallowness of its waters¿shallow relatively to the profundity of ocean deeps¿is most pronounced off the eastern and south-eastern coasts; but it extends westward as far as the isles of Scilly, which are isolated mountain-peaks of the submerged plateau. The seas that wash the long Cornish peninsula, therefore, though they are thoroughly oceanic in character, especially on the north, are not oceanic in depth; we have to pass far beyond Scilly to cross the hundred-fathom line. From the Dover strait westward there is a gradual lowering of the incline, though of course with such variations and undulations as we find on the emerged plains; but the existence of this vast submarine basis must cause us to think of our island, naturally and geologically, as a true part of the great European continent, rendered insular by the comparatively recent intrusion of shallow and narrow waters. With some developments and some limits, our flora and fauna are absolutely Continental, the limits being even more noticeable as regards Ireland. The extensive coast-line has played a most important part in influencing national history and characteristics. The greater or less resistance of different rocks and soils has affected not only coast-configurations, but therewith also the very existence and well-being of the inhabitants.

TOO often¿it is a half-acknowledged delusion, however¿one meets with what appears to be a theory: that a book of travel must necessarily be a series of dull, discursive, and entirely uncorroborated opinions of one who may not be even an intelligent observer. This is mere intellectual pretence. Even a humble author¿so long as he be an honest one¿may well be allowed to claim with Mr. Howells the right to be serious, or the reverse, "with his material as he finds it;" and that "something personally experienced can only be realized on the spot where it was lived." This, says he, is "the prime use of travel, and the attempt to create the reader a partner in the enterprise" ... must be the excuse, then, for putting one's observations on paper. He rightly says, too, that nothing of perilous adventure is to-day any more like to happen "in Florence than in Fitchburg." A "literary tour," a "cathedral tour," or an "architectural tour," requires a formula wherein the author must be wary of making questionable estimates; but he may, with regard to generalities,¿or details, for that matter,¿state his opinion plainly; but he should state also his reasons. With respect to church architecture no average reader, any more than the average observer, willingly enters the arena of intellectual combat, but rather is satisfied¿as he should be, unless he is a Freeman, a Gonse, or a Corroyer¿with an ampler radius which shall command even a juster, though no less truthful, view.

The majority of our English counties possess some special feature, some particular attraction which acts as a lodestone for tourists, in the form of a stately cathedral, striking physical beauty, or a wealth of historical or literary associations. There are large districts of rural England that would have remained practically unknown to the multitude had it not been for their possession of some superb architectural creation, or for the fame bestowed upon the district by the makers of literature and art. The Bard of Avon was perhaps the unconscious pioneer in the way of providing his native town and county with a valuable asset of this kind. The novels of Scott drew thousands of his readers to the North Country, and those of R. D. Blackmore did the same for the scenes so graphically depicted in Lorna Doone; while Thomas Hardy is probably responsible for half the number of tourists who visit Dorset.

THERE is no topographical division of Europe which more readily defines itself and its limits than the Rhine valley from Schaffhausen to where the river empties into the North Sea. The region has given birth to history and legend of a most fascinating character, and the manners and customs of the people who dwell along its banks are varied and picturesque. Under these circumstances it was but to be expected that architectural development should have expressed itself in a decided and unmistakable fashion. One usually makes the Rhine tour as an interlude while on the way to Switzerland or the Italian lakes, with little thought of its geographical and historical importance in connection with the development of modern Europe. It was the onward march of civilization, furthered by the Romans, through this greatest of natural highways to the north, that gave the first political and historical significance to the country of the Rhine watershed. And from that day to this the Rhenish provinces and the Low Countries bordering upon the sea have occupied a prominent place in history. There is a distinct and notable architecture, confined almost, one may say, to the borders of the Rhine, which the expert knows as Rhenish, if it can be defined at all; and which is distinct from that variety of pre-Gothic architecture known as Romanesque.

The Jenolan Caves contain some of the most remarkable and beautiful objects in Australian wonderland. They are formed in a limestone "dyke," surrounded by magnificent scenery, and hide in their dark recesses natural phenomena of rare interest to the geologist, as well as of pleasurable contemplation by non-scientific visitors; while in and about them the moralist may find "¿¿ tongues in trees, books in the running brooks,Sermons in stones, and good in everything." To see these caves once is to create a lifelong memory. The pink and the white terraces of New Zealand, which before the recent eruptions attracted so many tourists, did not excel in splendour the caves at Jenolan. But it is common for people to go abroad to admire less interesting things than are to be found within easy distance of their starting point, and which, if they were a thousand miles away, would probably be regarded as worthy of a special pilgrimage. There are persons living two or three leagues from the caves who have never seen them, and who, if they embraced the opportunity for inspection, would possibly regard them with the kind of wonder with which they would gaze upon the transformation scene at a pantomime. And yet the most frequent entry in the visitors' book is that the caves are "grand beyond expectation," and in some of their principal features "indescribably beautiful."

Published in 1910, this book serves as a comprehensive guide to exploring the Grand Canyon, offering practical advice on how visitors can make the most of their experience at this iconic natural wonder.George Wharton James, an American travel writer and lecturer, was known for his works on the American Southwest and Native American cultures.

¿Darn it!¿ he said. ¿Of course I owe it to you three fellows to give you all the dope, but I certainly hate to drag my affairs in. Still, after all our planning I can¿t leave you without an explanation. You know I live in Denver with my mother and two sisters. Boys, I¿ve got the finest mother, and the sweetest kid sisters. Mother works. She never gets a vacation; couldn¿t even come to my Commencement. Gosh! It made me sick. And my older sister (she¿s sixteen) has heard me tell all about you fellows, and she was so crazy to see you, and the school, and everything. But they couldn¿t make it. Too much car fare.¿¿Why, you big stiff!¿ cried the tall boy angrily. ¿Why didn¿t you say something? Mother and father came right through Denver. All your folks could have come on with them in the car.¿

As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, I don't have specific information about a book titled "The Cathedrals of Northern France" by M. F. Mansfield. It's possible that the book may be a less widely known or niche publication.If "The Cathedrals of Northern France" by M. F. Mansfield is a real or upcoming book, or if there are variations in the title or author's name, I recommend checking more recent sources such as online bookstores, library catalogs, or the publisher's website for the latest information.Books about the cathedrals of Northern France could cover a range of topics, including their architectural features, history, and cultural significance. If you are interested in this subject, you may also explore other well-known works on French cathedrals and architecture.

If Lucerne is the most widely advertised lake in the world¿if its name, in recent years, has come to be associated, less with ancient gallant exploits of half-legendary William Tells than with cheap Polytechnic Tours and hordes of personally conducted trippers, it has luckily forfeited singularly little of its ancient charm and character, and remains, if you visit it at the right moment¿or at any moment, if you are not too fastidious in your claims for solitude and æsthetic exclusiveness¿possibly the most beautiful and unquestionably the most dramatic and striking of all the half-dozen or so greater lakes, Swiss or Italian, that cluster round the outskirts of the great central knot of Alps. "Cluster round the outskirts," for it is characteristic of all these lakes, just as it is characteristic of most of our greater English meres at home¿of Windermere, for example, or Bassenthwaite, or Ullswater¿that, though their upper ends penetrate more or less deeply (and Lucerne and Ullswater more deeply than any) among the bases of the hills, yet their lower reaches, whence discharge the mighty rivers, invariably trail away into open plain, or terminate among mere gentle undulations. Of all this class of lake, then¿lakes of the transition¿Lucerne is at once the most complex in shape, the least comprehensible in bulk, and the most immediately mountainous in character.

"The Jesuit Missions" is a historical work written by Thomas Guthrie Marquis. As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, Thomas Guthrie Marquis was a Canadian historian and author known for his writings on the history of Western Canada.In "The Jesuit Missions," Marquis likely explores the history and activities of the Jesuit missions in Canada, focusing on the efforts of the Jesuit missionaries in the context of North American colonization and interactions with Indigenous peoples.For readers interested in the history of Jesuit missions in Canada, Indigenous-European relations, and the broader history of Western Canada, Thomas Guthrie Marquis' work provides valuable insights into the religious and cultural dynamics of this historical period.
