They felt the flow of travel, and they breathed in the air of the countries they visited, writing the odd mystical surf story for SURFER magazine, sending down the occasional alluring image of a wave breaking off a shipwreck, in front of a mile high sand dune, or at the bottom of a sheer cliff." Craig Jarvis, Tracks magazineThis series of books chronicles their journey.

Book excerpt: On the rocky coast of Maine sits a magnificent family mansion that is home to a legend of long-lost love, hidden emeralds and four sisters determined to save their home against all odds... Courting Catherine All hard-driving executive Trenton St. James III had on his mind was business-making the final arrangements to buy a run-down old mansion on the coast of Maine. He wasn't expecting any complications. And he definitely wasn't expecting anything like Catherine 'C.C.' Calhoun. This feisty, independent-minded young woman bristled at the very thought of her family's most highly prized possession ending up as part of some faceless hotel chain. And she seemed to bristle at the very sight of Trenton St. James, too. But all that was going to have to change, because Trent not only wanted her home, he wanted her, too. And he wasn't a man who took no for an answer A Man For Amanda Amanda Calhoun had always been the sensible one, forever struggling to keep her, well...eccentric family out of trouble. And the instant she laid eyes on architect Sloan O'Riley, she knew he was trouble. So this arrogant, insufferable Harvard-educated cowboy thought he was going to turn her family's beloved - and slightly decrepit - home into a hotel, did he? Well, she'd just see about that... Sloan seemed a little too interested in Calhoun family history - their famous missing emeralds, for instance. He also seemed a little too interested in Amanda. The hotel was shaping up nicely under his oh-so-skilled hands. But it was becoming clear that Amanda was what he most wanted to get those hands on...

Download or read book Surfing Sex Genders and Sexualities written by lisahunter and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-04-27 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sex, gender and sexuality have played an important role in shaping the culture of surfing and are central themes in the study of sport and movement cultures. Rooted in a rich precolonial history, surfing has undergone a modern transformation shaped by visual culture, commodification, sportization, mediatization and globalization, arguably all linked to sex, gender and sexuality. Using the physical culture of surfing as its focus, this international collection discusses the complex relationships between surfing, sex/es, gender/s and sexuality/ies. This book crosses new theoretical, empirical and methodological boundaries by exploring themes and issues such as indigenous histories, exploitation, the marginalized, race, ethnicity, disability, counter cultures, transgressions and queering. Offering original insights into surfing’s symbolism, postcolonialism, patriocolonial whiteness and heteronormativity, its chapters are connected by a collective aspiration to document sex/es, gender/s and sexuality/ies as they are shaped by surfing and, importantly, as they re-shape the many, possibly previously unknown, worlds of surfing. Surfing, Sex, Genders and Sexualities is fascinating reading for anybody with an interest in the sociology of sport or gender and sexuality studies.

Download or read book Honolulu Street Style written by Malie Moran and published by Intellect (UK). This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hawai'i is one of the most ethnically and racially diverse places in the world due to its central location in the Pacific. Situated at the crossroads of different cultures, Honolulu has a style all of its own. Honolulu Street Style captures this unique approach as it demonstrates how global trends are transformed by stylish Honolulu denizens to give them a unique, local look. Divided into chapters on hair, hats, accessories, and beachwear, the book features the styles of people encountered on the street and in many different neighborhoods, with an essay on the history and clothing of Hawai'i as a whole. The neighborhood fashion explored includes that of iconic Waikiki which conjures images most people associate with Hawai'i, yet the mass-produced tourist clothing belies a deeper fashion culture hidden in local enclaves and local boutiques that foster an upscale, casual style. Chinatown is a neighborhood of dramatic color and exotic touches, and hosts "First Friday" events that transform the neighborhood into a crowded hub of artistic, musical, and retail activity. As the photos show, the Kaka'ako neighborhood draws a crowd that is hip, traveled, and not afraid to venture off the beaten path. In contrast, the Manoa valley, home to the flagship campus of the University of Hawai'i, presents itself as an eclectic mix of students and professionals dressed in everything from boho chic to surfer, skater, avant-garde, and casual professional style. A highly visual book with full-color street style photography, Honolulu Street Style will be a landmark publication in the study of place and style.
