Download or read book Stranded in Andalusia written by Philip Stylianou and published by Austin Macauley Publishers. This book was released on 2024-11-08 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Save natural or manmade disasters, being stranded away from home is usually thought of as a mere inconvenience, big or small, that will somehow work itself out sooner or later. Not this time though, as a British salesman/cum tourist fails to make a hotel reservation and in trying to solve his problem before nightfall, finds himself pitted against a brainy police lieutenant, who is desperately trying to save his town from having its traditional Easter celebrations vilified by the evil doings of a criminal gang. The story unfolds in the picturesque Andalusia region of Southern Spain in the early post-Franco era and is partly based on a real-life experience of the author, with at least one character being a genuine part of it. The fast-moving plot in a captivating innovative writing style transcends every possible genre, from humorous adventure to sombre dystopian and suspenseful thriller with even a touch of erotica, all rolled into mystical fantasy, dispersed only by a totally unexpected ending that gives a new twist to the beginning.

Download or read book Alone in the Great Unknown written by Caroll Simpson and published by Harbour Publishing. This book was released on 2023-04-11 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The inspiring story of how an urban woman came to own and operate a remote fishing lodge nestled deep in the British Columbian wilderness. When Caroll Simpson fell in love with a cabin located on pristine Babine Lake in BC, many miles away from her home in Washington State, she knew her life was about to change. After convincing her husband to abandon their dream of living aboard a sailboat, they began the complicated process of buying the lodge and moving north. For two years, their adventure was a blissful dream. Then, tragedy struck. Following the sudden death of her husband, Simpson was forced to decide her next move alone, amidst deep grief—would she sell the lodge, or would she stay, continuing the process of pursuing Canadian citizenship and running this remote lodge by herself? No easy feat, given accessing the lodge in summer required a forty-mile round trip by boat and, in the winter, a passage on an ice breaker barge and a treacherous snowshoe trek. This heartfelt memoir tells Simpson's story—of living in the remote wilderness and managing the lodge, becoming an accidental environmental activist, fending off wild animals, working as an angling guide and finally, at the height of her career, fighting off a proposed mining operation and participating in the development of a government land plan as a spokesperson for the wilderness tourism industry.

Download or read book Sport Ethics in Context written by Debra Shogan and published by Canadian Scholars’ Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thought-provoking collection of essays explores what constitutes the ethical domain, ethical practice, ethics education, and ethics - all in the context of sport. Sport Ethics in Context goes beyond the usual focus in sport ethics on responsibilities, and explores ethical responsibilities to teammates, coaches, and others associated with a team. As well, this collection describes a ""new sport ethics,"" through which participants might come to question those practices that sport discipline creates. The author argues that if sport is to be a vehicle for a better understanding of and appreciation for ethical responses, it is necessary to pay attention to just what is at stake in the ethical domain, including the components of ethical response and how sport leaders might facilitate ethical responses in a sport environment.

Download or read book Refugee Spaces and Urban Citizenship in Nairobi written by Derese G. Kassa and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2018-12-12 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kenya has been the third major outlet through which hundreds of thousands of refugees from Somalia, Ethiopia, Eritrea, and South Sudan flee from political persecution and for better livelihoods. This book is a commentary of Nairobi as an urban refugee space. It provides an in-depth ethnographic account and analysis of state-refugee relations in Nairobi focusing mainly on the lived experience of Ethiopian refugees. In addition, the author employs Henry Lefebvre’s work on “right to the city” to explore and qualify whether the literature in urban citizenship can speak to the Kenyan experience. This book is a timely and remarkable addition into the cannon of scholarship in comparative urban studies, African studies, and refugee studies.
