Download or read book Catalan Castaway written by Ben Crawshaw and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sail-and-oar adventure in our own boat, one having the inevitable beauty of a form which accurately meets function - this is the dream of many of us. But Ben Crawshaw shows us that the dream is nearer to our grasp than we may think. In Gavin Atkin's Light Trow design he found a vision of beauty, a promise of seaworthiness, and an affordable boatbuilding project which would require the most simple and accessible of materials, and just basic woodworking ability. Within months he was afloat in 'Onawind Blue, ' and Catalan Castaway recounts his day-sails, beach-camping cruises and a challenging longer voyage, over a five year period on the Catalan coast of Spain, where he lives with his partner and young family. 'Onawind Blue' has been Ben's passport to the traditional maritime community of the region, so in addition to her own exploits we learn of the indigenous boat types, many now endangered, and the dedicated band of people who keep them alive. Ben's increasingly ambitious adventures have sometimes made him draw on deep reserves of physical and mental strength, as has his personal battle with the 'giant octopus' of serious illness, happily now at bay
Download or read book Catalan Independence and the Crisis of Sovereignty written by Óscar García Agustín and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-12-14 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the conflict between the Catalan project to become independent and the Spanish state’s opposition to any attempt of secessionism. The volume addresses some of the key political and academic issues of contemporary European societies: nationalism, separatism and sovereignty. The banned referendum in Catalonia in October 2017 unveiled the existence of multiple crises, from territorial to economic and political. Indeed, the Catalan issue is about the crisis of sovereignty: who holds legitimacy to make decisions, and who is in power legally and politically? The book is structured according to three themes: sovereignty and its people, where the realignment to independence, populism and the definition of the demos are discussed; collective identities and actions, to account for the shaping of ‘us’, the importance of collective memory and the cross-alliances forged during the referendum; and internationalization, focusing on Europeanisation, international media and comparative constitutional perspectives.
