        Mexique

        El nombre del barco

        by María José Ferrada, Ana Penyas

        On May of 1937, during the Spanish Civil War, 456 sons and daughters of republican fighters took the transatlantic boat Mexique, that set sail in Bordeau to arrive in Mexico. Previsions were that they would stay there three or four months, but the Republican defeat and the beginning of the Second World War changed that brief exile into a definitive one.  This books tells the story not only of those children, but also about the ship, being aware that we do not know how many boats try to cross our oceans every day, moving human beings that have full rights to a proper way of living and not to stand over a land that tears apart below their feet.

        THE BOOK OF IMAGINARY ISLANDS

        by Lukas Maisel

        Almost every Asian culture has a name for this particular creature – Yeren in China, Chemo in Tibet or Orang Pendek on Sumatra. For centuries it has had a place in myths and imaginations. Only the scientific world is not interested in the missing link between man and beast. A Swiss cryptozoologist is determined to change this. He sets off on an expedition to central Papua New Guinea. By his side is a man from the ethnic group of the Bugis; at the helm of the boat is someone who calls himself Jonah. And then there is Blum, in his mid-twenties, faint-hearted, but with a pronounced awareness of proper etiquette. Together they set off on a journey into well-measured uncertainty. With a self-welded cage on the bow…

        The Crescent over Kinburn

        by Yuliia Stakhivska (Author), Oleksandra Bolotova (Author)

        Two boys look at the crescent moon in the sky: Orkhan sees in it a Muslim symbol, and young Petrus — a Cossack chaika (boat). The events of The Crescent over Kinburn date back to the time when there were constant clashes between the Christian and Muslim worlds on the Kinburn Foreland near the Black Sea. Everyone has their own truth and their own path to freedom, so this story teaches mercy and acceptance because the path of revenge and violence can only bring more offence and mistrust in the world.     From 5 to 8 years, 4819 words Rightsholders: a.makhnyk@portalbooks.com.ua

        Nautical Tourism

        by Edited by Tihomir Lukovic

        Nautical tourism encompasses aspects of marine tourism such as sailing, yachting, cruising and diving, as well as harbour-side developments, coastal water sports such as jet skiing, boat shows, port tours, and marine heritage destinations. Nautical tourism as an industry has been developing rapidly in scope and economic status and continues to do so. This book provides a timely analysis of nautical tourism in Europe, examining the provision and expansion of nautical tourism in economies at different stages of development. The book also covers nautical tourism in The Pacific, providing an analysis of two very different markets, and addresses the perceived North American take-over of cruising in Europe to provide insight into the global issues affecting nautical tourism. The book covers matters of current concern such as the role of nautical tourism in economic growth, sustainable development, international policy, consumer demand and the world market, development strategies, arctic tourism and the future potential of nautical tourism. Written by an international team of contributors the book also includes fascinating case studies to further explain and explore current concepts in nautical tourism.

        Environment, labour and capitalism at sea

        'Working the ground' in Scotland

        by Penny McCall Howard. Series edited by Alexander Smith

        This book explores how fishers make the sea productive through their labour, using technologies ranging from wooden boats to digital GPS plotters to create familiar places in a seemingly hostile environment. It shows how their lives are affected by capitalist forces in the markets they sell to, forces that shape even the relations between fishers on the same boat. Fishers frequently have to make impossible choices between safe seamanship and staying afloat economically, and the book describes the human impact of the high rate of deaths in the fishing industry. The book makes a unique contribution to understanding human-environment relations, examining the places fishers create and name at sea, as well as technologies and navigation practices. It combines phenomenology and political economy to offer new approaches for analyses of human-environment relations and technologies. It contributes to the social studies of fisheries through an analysis of how deeply fishing practices and social relations are shaped by political economy. It will be read in universities by social scientists and anthropologists and also by those with an interest in maritime Scotland.
