Sinopse

"Portuguese Sea Culture" explores how Portugal's extensive maritime history has profoundly shaped its national identity, cuisine, and social customs. From the Age of Discovery, Portugal's seafaring prowess facilitated global trade, influencing everything from the ingredients used in Portuguese cuisine to the rituals and festivals celebrated in coastal communities. The book argues that this sea culture is not just a historical relic but a living heritage that continues to define Portugal today. The book uniquely examines intangible aspects of this culture, such as social attitudes and beliefs, rather than solely focusing on economic or political history. It progresses by first introducing the concept of sea culture, then delving into the influence of maritime trade on cuisine, the emergence of sea-related social customs, and the role of seafaring in shaping Portuguese national identity. For example, the book explores how maritime exploration shaped a sense of national pride and collective memory. Drawing on historical documents, culinary records, and ethnographic studies, "Portuguese Sea Culture" offers a comprehensive overview of Portugal's enduring connection to the sea. This approach provides readers with a nuanced understanding of Portugal's past and its ongoing impact on the world, making it valuable for anyone interested in history, culture, or culinary traditions.

  • Imperial Japan - Expansion World War and the Rise of a Global Power - cover

    Imperial Japan - Expansion World...

    The rise of Imperial Japan is a remarkable story of transformation and ambition. It was a journey from isolation to global power, marked by rapid modernization, industrialization, and an expanding empire. At the start of the 19th century, Japan was still a feudal society, deeply rooted in its traditional ways, with the Tokugawa shogunate governing the country in relative peace for over two centuries. However, Japan’s world would change forever when the United States, under Commodore Matthew Perry, forced the country to open its ports in 1854 after a period of strict isolation. 
    This marked the beginning of the Meiji Restoration in 1868, a pivotal event that reshaped Japan’s destiny. The Meiji Restoration was a time of intense reform, where Japan sought to modernize in order to survive and compete with the Western powers. The young Emperor Meiji played a crucial role in transforming Japan from a feudal society into a centralized, modern state. The Japanese government adopted Western methods of governance, education, and technology, while also developing a new sense of national pride and unity. The feudal system was dismantled, and Japan was rapidly industrialized, building a powerful military and a burgeoning economy. 
    The Meiji government’s aggressive modernization policies allowed Japan to catch up with the West in terms of technological and military advancements. Railroads, factories, and telegraphs quickly spread throughout the country. The education system was restructured, producing a new generation of skilled workers and intellectuals who were eager to contribute to Japan’s growing power. By the late 19th century, Japan had established a modern, strong economy capable of competing on the world stage.

    Anyone who has been at all involved in game shooting for any length of time will, over the years, have undoubtedly gained a great deal of knowledge regarding how to shoot a high pheasant, train a gun dog, use 'best practice' incubation techniques and run a shooting day with expertise. Tried and tested, such knowledge is proven and sound, but have you ever had cause to ponder on some of the lesser-known realities and possible myths connected to many other aspects of the sport? Ponder no more for, in this book can be found the answers to almost any and every shoot day-related question that you've ever wanted to know. Within its covers are exposed the superstitions of some game shots and keepers; commonly held beliefs explained; 'facts' declared fallacies and, conversely, theories that might, on first hearing, seem somewhat suspect, given credence as a result of scientific research. Can, for instance, a grouse fly faster than a partridge? Is it that, as it seems, a pheasant's hearing becomes more astute as the shooting season progresses – and could, as has often been claimed, a pheasant on the south coast of England during World War One have actually heard the sounds of military fire many miles away across the English Channel? Why was Napoleon once chased by rabbits and why might today's gamekeepers be interested to know of an Act passed by Henry VIII in 1566? Keepers and shoot captains alike will certainly be interested to read as to whether or not it's true that some strains of pheasants are more likely to wander over the boundary than others, whilst those with dogs will want to know if, as is sometimes claimed, 'a good gun dog can ever be a bad colour'. The truth behind the origins of some items of sporting clothing are explained, as are the reasons why one should never say goodbye to fellow Guns whilst standing on a bridge! In amongst it all, much mention is made of general rural life and weather lore. As to the latter, it seems that it's more worthwhile taking note of some of the old sayings than it is modern weather forecasters – particularly when attempting to shoot snipe in winter, or pigeons in the fog. There's no doubt that this, at times, somewhat quirky tome will be of widespread interest to all who love being out in the shooting field at no matter what level. Well researched, and with outstanding tongue-in-cheek illustrations from the incredibly talented Bryn Parry, Hot Barrels! is sure to inform, amuse, entertain and educate.
