Download or read book The Tarragona Vortex written by Lawrence J. McCrank and published by Trivent Publishing. This book was released on 2022-09-30 with total page 1176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This extensive bibliographic essay underpins the entire Tarragona Vortex study by focusing on this arena as one of the most contested frontiers in Western history, comparable to Jerusalem in the East, for broad issues of Romanization, Westernization, Islamization, and Christianization. Its book length chapters treat (1) diverse historiographies from local and Spanish to comparative Mediterranean and Crusade History, and especially Ethno-historiography and the explanatory concept of frontiers; (2) the phenomena of religion conversion and reform, and the conditioning agents of Islam and Latin Christianity in practice and adversity; (3) religious universalism and violence, especially religious war; (4) the Crusade and Reconquest paradigms and century-long debate; (5) the environment on land and sea, and setting for this History. Although these themes are explored to include due reconsideration but avoid major digressions in its telling about Tarragona and the Tarraconensis, they underly so much of Late-Antique and Medieval historical research that this discussion pertains to the whole field of historical, cultural, and religious studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Barcelona, the vibrant capital of Catalonia, is one of Spain's most beloved cities, renowned for its rich cultural heritage, stunning architecture, and lively atmosphere. Nestled between the Mediterranean Sea and the Collserola mountain range, Barcelona is a city that captivates the hearts of millions of visitors each year. Its unique blend of tradition and modernity offers a tapestry of experiences, from historical landmarks to contemporary marvels, making it an essential destination for travelers worldwide. Barcelona's charm lies in its ability to seamlessly integrate its ancient roots with its modern aspirations. The city's historical core, with its narrow, winding streets, medieval buildings, and Gothic cathedrals, offers a glimpse into its storied past. In stark contrast, the modernist architecture of Antoni Gaudí and his contemporaries punctuates the cityscape with whimsical, innovative designs that continue to inspire architects and artists around the globe. The city's vibrant cultural scene is reflected in its numerous festivals, museums, galleries, and theaters. Barcelona's residents, known as Barcelonians, are deeply passionate about their cultural identity, which is expressed through the Catalan language, traditions, and a strong sense of community. This cultural pride is palpable in the city's various celebrations, such as La Mercè and the Castellers' human towers, which draw visitors from far and wide. Barcelona's location on the Mediterranean coast also contributes to its appeal. The city boasts several beautiful beaches, offering residents and tourists alike a chance to relax and enjoy the sun. The coastal promenade, known as the "Paseo Marítimo," is a favorite spot for leisurely strolls, cycling, and dining at seaside restaurants. The culinary scene in Barcelona is another highlight. The city's restaurants and markets offer a diverse array of flavors, from traditional Catalan dishes to innovative fusion cuisine. The bustling Mercat de Sant Josep de la Boqueria, commonly known as La Boqueria, is a must-visit for food enthusiasts, showcasing a vibrant array of fresh produce, seafood, meats, and local delicacies. Barcelona is not just a city to visit; it's a city to experience. Whether you're exploring the historic Barri Gòtic, marveling at the architectural wonders of the Eixample district, or enjoying the lively atmosphere of the waterfront, Barcelona offers a dynamic and enriching experience. Its unique blend of history, culture, and modernity makes it a city that stays with you long after you've left its sun-drenched streets.
