Living in Spain

Evelyn Cho

Beschreibung

"Living in Spain" offers a meticulously researched roadmap for anyone seeking to navigate Spanish culture and society, whether as a visitor or permanent resident. This comprehensive guide uniquely bridges the gap between practical necessities and cultural understanding, exploring Spain's rich tapestry of regional identities, from the distinct characteristics of Catalonia to the traditions of Andalusia.

 
The book's approach stands out for its careful balance of academic insight and real-world applicability, making complex cultural concepts accessible to readers from various backgrounds. The text progresses naturally from foundational knowledge about Spanish society to more nuanced aspects of daily life, examining everything from the significance of sobremesa (after-meal conversations) to the intricacies of regional languages and dialects.

 
Through methodically organized chapters, readers gain insight into three crucial areas: cultural adaptation, administrative requirements, and social integration. The guide incorporates authentic case studies and expert contributions from legal professionals and cultural anthropologists, providing readers with both theoretical understanding and practical strategies for successful integration.

 
What makes this guide particularly valuable is its holistic approach to cultural immersion, combining essential practical information about healthcare, housing, and bureaucratic procedures with deeper insights into Spanish social codes and community dynamics. The book's emphasis on understanding both official procedures and unwritten social rules, supported by current demographic data and government statistics, makes it an indispensable resource for anyone planning to make Spain their home.

Illustrated Seamanship -...

Ivar Dedekam

For any sailor, in a yacht or motorboat, the passage from one place to another is relatively easy, particularly with modern navigation equipment. What can be more of a challenge (and a potential source of anxiety for skipper and crew) is the start and end of a passage – how to leave and arrive safely, particularly if it's a cramped marina or crowded anchorage. In Illustrated Seamanship, Ivar Dedekam takes you through the techniques required to achieve a safe departure and arrival. Starting with the fundamentals of ropework he then moves on to manoeuvring, berthing, making fast and then leaving. All types of berthing are covered from coming alongside, stern to, bow to, between finger pontoons and using piles and buoys. There is advice about dealing with different wind and current directions as well as using springs. Ivar then turns to anchoring and offers guidance on setting and weighing anchor in many different circumstances: under sail and under power, using one or two anchors and coping with changes in wind and tide while anchored. You probably won't experience all the scenarios that Ivar so carefully describes, but you will certainly come across quite a few. Knowing what to do when a new situation comes up could be invaluable, increasing your confidence and leading to greater enjoyment and use of your boat. With over 500 diagrams, this slim volume is a perfect reminder of frequently used techniques and could be your get-out-of-jail card when a new circumstance arises. This new edition has an improved layout and the eBook's functionality has been improved significantly.
