Reimagining Community Festivals and Events: Critical and Interdisciplinary Perspectives (ISSN)
by Trudie Walters Allan Stewart Jepson Raphaela StadlerThis book celebrates and builds on Alan Clarke (1956–2021) and Allan Jepson’s 2015 book Exploring Community Festivals and Events. It showcases how far the study of community festivals and events has come in the intervening years, and in so doing it is a response to recent calls for researchers to take a more critical approach to event studies.This is an interdisciplinary book that draws together empirical research across a wide range of community event types, sizes and within diverse communities. Chapters in this book are grouped into four themes that highlight the breadth and depth of work being done: reviving and maintaining tradition(s); a focus on belonging; challenges and tensions; and innovations in teaching and research. Another of its core strengths is its international perspective – the book encompasses research from around the world including Turkey, Portugal, Greece, India, the UK, the US, Austria and New Zealand. There is also a diverse range of theoretical lenses applied to the study of community events, and some innovative methodologies used to achieve research aims and objectives.This volume will appeal to students and researchers in the fields of critical event studies, cultural studies, place-making, tourism, music, sociology and geography. Several chapters also provide insights and key learnings for those lecturing and working in event management and industry professionals.
Reinventing the Local in Tourism: Producing, Consuming and Negotiating Place
by Greg Richards Antonio Paolo RussoThis book investigates the way localities are shaped and negotiated through tourism, and explores the emerging success of local peer-produced hospitality and tourism services which are transforming the tourist experience. Tourists are now being brought into much closer contact with locals and have new opportunities to experience the community at their destination. This book examines these place experiences and travel-sharing arrangements that have now spread globally due to the use of social communication platforms such as Airbnb. It analyses the existence of global communities of 'place experts' that are redefining the organisational structures, value systems, market opportunities, affordabilities and geographies in travel and tourism. This volume brings together the work of established tourism scholars as well as early career researchers and is one of the first books to examine the global-local relationship at tourism destinations and the way that the rapidly developing field of peer-to-peer tourism is transforming tourist destinations.

Reisterstown
by Gayle Neville BlumBefore it was a colonial village, Reister's Town was home to tribes of the Susquehanna who lived and hunted plentiful wildlife amidst the dense primeval woods. Travelers journeyed on narrow Native American trails from remote areas through what is now Reisterstown while on their way to the nearby bustling harbor in Baltimore Town. Dirt roads afforded a tiresome trip, and a man's throat would easily become parched from the dust. John Reister, an enterprising German immigrant, was one of these early travelers. Reister recognized that the area, only a day's travel from Baltimore, would make an ideal site for an inn where weary travelers could rest and recoup. In 1758, Reister founded the town on 20 acres that the Calverts had granted him. Soon after, in 1768, Daniel Bower, a Revolutionary War colonel, settled on nearby land and built a tavern reputed to have accommodated George Washington. By 1800, Reister's Town was a busy community boasting shops, a tannery, blacksmith, inn, and taverns, which were all vital to the growth of the town and nearby communities.

Relatos del confín del mundo (y del universo)
by Juan Diego Soler PulidoEn busca de la Antártida, el último lugar de la tierra. Una ventana al cosmos En el extremo sur de nuestro planeta se esconde un territorio que fue desconocido para los humanos durante la mayor parte de su historia: Antártida. Durante siglos, los más audaces exploradores cruzaron los océanos y protagonizaron extraordinarias hazañas en búsqueda de sus costas. Cuando sus barcos lograron sortear el embate del frío lacerante, el embrujo de sus días sin noche y la amenaza de los enormes témpanos, el que ha sido llamado "el último lugar de la Tierra" se convirtió en una obsesión. Como los astronautas en los tiempos modernos, los humanos atravesaron una nueva frontera y se internaron como hormigas en este inconmensurable desierto de hielo para coronar con sus banderas el punto más austral del mundo. Esta es su historia. Hoy, poco más de un siglo después de que los humanos llegaran al Polo Sur, Antártida se ha convertido en un centro de investigaciones, a donde llegan cada año expertos de todo el mundo para desarrollar estudios científicos que permiten entender nuestro planeta y el universo. El astrofísico colombiano Juan Diego Soler fue uno de ellos. En 2010 aterrizó por primera vez en esas gélidas planicies para, con el apoyo de la NASA y la Fundación Nacional de Ciencias de los Estados Unidos, lanzar a la estratósfera un telescopio robótico impulsado por un globo de helio y ver la luz más allá de las estrellas. Esta también es su historia. Relatos del confín del mundo (y del universo) es un viaje a través de palabras, mapas e imágenes a uno de los lugares más misteriosos de la Tierra, el hogar de millones de pingüinos y miles de ballenas y focas. Es una travesía a un terreno inhóspito e inhumanamente frío, en compañía de quienes arriesgaron su vida en nombre de la exploración y de quienes hoy regresan allí en nombre de la ciencia.
Relentless
by Dean Stott'Dean's journey from the Special Boat Service to intrepid adventurer is truly inspirational.' - Sir Ranulph Fiennes'An extraordinary tale of courage and adventure. Dean's story is inspirational.' - Levison Wood'Dean's relentless determination to help those who face many mental health battles is incredible and admirable - he's a hero to many.' - Bear GryllsFor readers of Ant Middleton, Jason Fox, Brian Wood, Bear Grylls and Billy Billingham comes the extraordinary, inspirational story of Special Boat Service soldier and adventurer Dean Stott.Everybody has heard the SAS motto that who dares wins, but special forces warrior Dean Stott also lives his life by another powerful mantra - that of the relentless pursuit of excellence. In 16 years of service, Dean rose to the top of Britain's fighting force, taking part of some of the most daring and dangerous operations in the war on terror, and then in the private security force, where missions included him singlehandedly evacuating the Canadian Embassy in Libya.But then, following a horrific parachuting accident, Dean's dream career was cut short, and his ethos was put to its toughest test. Just like the day when Dean's dad said that he could never make it as a soldier, Dean's doctors told him that he would never again perform at the elite level.To put it mildly, Dean disagreed, but even those that knew him were staggered by the mission that he set himself - the man who didn't own a bike would cycle the Pan American Highway, a 14,000 mile route that stretches from Argentina to Alaska, passing through some of the most dangerous countries in the world. A passionate mental health campaigner, Dean decided to up the stakes further by setting himself the task of raising a million pounds for charity. With two world records also in his sights, the stage was set for Dean to rediscover the tenacity, bravery, and downright doggedness that saw him rise to the top of the Special Forces. The final curveball arrived in the shape of a wedding invitation from his old friend Prince Harry - would he make it back in time for the royal wedding, or at all? Dean Stott is Relentless, and this is his story.

Remarkable Creatures: Epic Adventures in the Search for the Origins of Species
by Sean B. CarrollNational Book Award Finalist: A biologist&’s &“thoroughly enjoyable&” account of the expeditions that unearthed the history of life on our planet (Publishers Weekly). Not so long ago, most of our world was an unexplored wilderness. Our sense of its age was vague and vastly off the mark, and much of the knowledge of our own species&’ history was a set of fantastic myths and fairy tales. But scientists were about to embark on an amazing new era of understanding. From the New York Times–bestselling author of The Big Picture, this book leads us on a rousing voyage that recounts the most important discoveries in two centuries of natural history: from Darwin&’s trip around the world to Charles Walcott&’s discovery of pre-Cambrian life in the Grand Canyon; from Louis and Mary Leakey&’s investigation of our deepest past in East Africa to the trailblazers in modern laboratories who have located a time clock in our DNA. Filled with the same sense of adventure that spurred on these extraordinary men and women, Remarkable Creatures is a &“stirring introduction to the wonder of evolutionary biology&” (Kirkus Reviews). &“Charming and enlightening.&” —San Francisco Chronicle &“As fast-paced as a detective story.&” —Nature
