Book Synopsis River Ouse Bargeman by : David Lewis
Download or read book River Ouse Bargeman written by David Lewis and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2017-04-30 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ouse reaches into the heart of Yorkshire from the Humber Estuary. Until the 1980s, loaded barges made the challenging journey from Hull to Selby, bearing bulk cargoes for the mills of the town. The bargees had to be tough and resourceful; physically strong enough to handle their craft, wise enough to combat the rivers shifting currents and savvy enough to deal with those supplying short measure. Laurie Dews of Selby worked the Ouse from 1937 to 1987, and is now the only man remaining with first-hand experience of a lost way of life. In this book, "River Ouse Bargeman", Lauries words of wit and wisdom give a skippers eye view of a barge loaded to the gunwales fighting upstream, unloading at the mill and drifting back with the tide. Laurie spins many a yarn about a bargeman's social life, too. His firsthand account includes the mysterious river crafts of singling out and penning up, the tricks and tell tales to show where the ever-shifting river channel lay and the camaraderie of life in the close-knit watery world. In this book, alongside Lauries account, there is a factual commentary, illustrated by many images from Lauries collection dating back over a century, and extracts from official documents and maps.

Book Synopsis Explorer Travellers and Adventure Tourism by : Jennifer Laing
Download or read book Explorer Travellers and Adventure Tourism written by Jennifer Laing and published by Channel View Publications. This book was released on 2014-08-04 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the nexus between exploring and tourism and argues that exploration travel – based heavily on explorer narratives and the promises of personal challenges and change – is a major trend in future tourism. In particular, it analyses how romanticised myths of explorers form a foundation for how modern day tourists view travel and themselves. Its scope ranges from the 'Golden Age' of imperial explorers in the 19th and early 20th centuries, through the growth of adventure and extreme tourism, to possible future trends including space travel. The volume should appeal to researchers and students across a variety of disciplines, including tourism studies, sociology, geography and history.
Download or read book Literary Tourism written by Ian Jenkins and published by CABI. This book was released on 2019-07-12 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Literary tourism is a nascent field in tourism studies, yet tourists often travel in the footsteps of well-known authors and stories. Providing a wide-ranging cornucopia of literary tourism topics, this book fully explores the interconnections between the written word and travel. It includes tourism stories using guidebooks, films, television and electronic media, and recognises that stories, texts and narratives, even if they cannot be classified as traditional travel writing, can become journeys in themselves and take us on imaginary voyages. Appealing to a wide audience of different disciplines, it encompasses subjects such as business literary writing, historical journeys and the poetry of Dylan Thomas. The use of these different perspectives demonstrates how heavily and widely literature influences travel, tourists and tourism, making it an important read for researchers and students of tourism, social science and literature.

Download or read book Vizard Uncut written by Steve Bedwell and published by Melbourne University Publish. This book was released on 2007 with total page 595 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: VIZARD UNCUT is the unauthorised and largely untold story of Steve Vizard's life. Drawn from extensive interviews and comprehensive research, VIZARD UNCUT seeks to demystify the enigma that is Steve Vizard: underpants salesman, corporate lawyer, Gold Logie winner, philanthropist, victim of a multi-million-dollar fraud and subject of a high-profile investigation by ASIC. In the early 1990s, Vizard revolutionised television comedy with the ground-breaking Fast Forward and Full Frontal, with characters such as Roger Ramshett, Hunch and the airline stewards Wayne and Darryl. He is also well remembered as the wise-cracking, stunt-pulling host of Tonight Live who interviewed everyone from Kylie Minogue to Gerard Depardieu. The late 1990s saw him become a part of the Melbourne establishment, especially in the arts, entertainment and sport. Then, in one swift blow, Steve Vizard went from icon to pariah. Steven Bedwell gives us the complete, complex story of the man, pieced together from never-before-seen documents and testimonies. VIZARD UNCUT brings to light the events of recent years that have shrink-wrapped themselves over a remarkably full and diverse life.
