Book excerpt: Traditional guidebooks give straightforward advice on what to do and where to go, but in this remarkable cultural history, celebrated journalist and Canary Islands native Juan Cruz Ruiz offers something much more—a fusion of literature and travel that will captivate both globetrotters and interested readers looking for a more intimate exploration of this rich archipelago, which is part of Spain, yet completely distinct from the mainland.Over twelve million visitors travel to the Canary Islands every year to see its famous black and white sand beaches and attend Carnival. Reading The Canary Islands is like traveling with a personal tour guide, one who will tell you in exquisite language about the original inhabitants of the Canaries, the history of the islands, and what life was like for residents of the Canaries before tourism. Weaving together lectures, memories, and experiences, Ruiz explores the geography, the food, and the local art of the Canaries, and tells the stories of the Canarian people. Including writings, anecdotes, and comments of personalities connected to island—Ignacio Aldecoa, Unamuno, Humboldt, García Márquez, Chillida, César Manrique— Juan Cruz Ruiz introduces readers to the very essence of the Canary Islands and its people.The Canary Islands is both inspiring and useful—an in-depth look at the islands and the islanders, as well as a unique guide to unusual Canary Islands destinations, the native cuisine, and the history, mythology, and ecology of this cherished destination.

Download or read book Medieval Frontiers: Concepts and Practices written by David Abulafia and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-03-02 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, the 'medieval frontier' has been the subject of extensive research. But the term has been understood in many different ways: political boundaries; fuzzy lines across which trade, religions and ideas cross; attitudes to other peoples and their customs. This book draws attention to the differences between the medieval and modern understanding of frontiers, questioning the traditional use of the concepts of 'frontier' and 'frontier society'. It contributes to the understanding of physical boundaries as well as metaphorical and ideological frontiers, thus providing a background to present-day issues of political and cultural delimitation. In a major introduction, David Abulafia analyses these various ambiguous meanings of the term 'frontier', in political, cultural and religious settings. The articles that follow span Europe from the Baltic to Iberia, from the Canary Islands to central Europe, Byzantium and the Crusader states. The authors ask what was perceived as a frontier during the Middle Ages? What was not seen as a frontier, despite the usage in modern scholarship? The articles focus on a number of themes to elucidate these two main questions. One is medieval ideology. This includes the analysis of medieval formulations of what frontiers should be and how rulers had a duty to defend and/or extend the frontiers; how frontiers were defined (often in a different way in rhetorical-ideological formulations than in practice); and how in certain areas frontier ideologies were created. The other main topic is the emergence of frontiers, how medieval people created frontiers to delimit areas, how they understood and described frontiers. The third theme is that of encounters, and a questioning of medieval attitudes to such encounters. To what extent did medieval observers see a frontier between themselves and other groups, and how does real interaction compare with ideological or narrative formulations of such interaction?

Download or read book No pressures written by Pedro Villarrubia and published by Pedro Villarrubia. This book was released on 2022-06-01 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I publish this book, "No pressures", Canary Islands drawn, in english and digital format due to the success of a first hardcover book in spanish edition, “Sin presiones”, sold out in 4 months, with the desire to allow access to those who could not have it in their hands at the time."No pressures" was born from a personal desire, to publish a hundred of my drawings and watercolors made during my last 10 years in the Canary Islands. The book is basically divided into two sections. The first, more descriptive, focuses on showing my sketches of the Canary Islands, especially Gran Canaria and Lanzarote. The second is more didactic and shows the various techniques I use in my sketchbooks and my favorite topics. When I thought of publishing a book, choosing my sketches of the Canary Islands seemed the most natural thing to me. First, because I have lived here for years. I have drawn on the eight Canary Islands, but in this book two islands, Gran Canaria and Lanzarote, have more prominence because I have lived on them, and therefore drawn, more. Second, because Canarias is very drawable. For me it is easy to draw in the Canary Islands: its climate, its light, its different landscapes and cities, its slow pace of life, allow me to grab a notebook and start drawing at any time of the year. And third, because here I got to know the phenomenon “Urban Sketchers”, which encourages us to draw a situation, to show on the Internet what we see with no limitations other than time, ability and personal style. This ebook contains in its 48 pages, in vertical format, the same drawings, watercolors and texts of the paper edition. Each chapter begins with brief words of introduction, showing 103 watercolors and sketches, 10 of them panoramic, and 4 photos, a selection of the hundreds of watercolors and urban drawings that I have done in recent years in the Canary Islands, many of them published in social networks like Instagram, Twitter or Facebook and seen and appreciated by many people. The book also includes the words of 9 artists with whom I have drawn in different places, about drawing in general, about urban sketchers, about my drawings, or about me. This ebook has needed modifications to adapt it to the vertical format: the pages of the paper book are grouped two by two vertically, the double-page panoramic drawings of the printed book are joined to facilitate their placement, reducing their size and have been grouped in pages. To contemplate them well, the expansion possibilities of the electronic book reader should be used. I trust that you will like this "No pressures" ebook. It is the first of a collection that I have called as my blog, “Acuarelas y apuntes - Watercolors and sketches". I will appreciate the comments on it to improve it or complete it with new publications. THANKS. For a better quality of the drawings, the author recommends the printed edition. To do this you can contact the author through the information at the end of the book.
