Sinossi

"Gold Coast" explores the remarkable transformation of a once-overlooked Queensland region into a globally recognized tourism hub. It meticulously traces the area's history, revealing the intricate dynamics of economic growth, societal shifts, and environmental concerns that have shaped its identity. The book offers a unique perspective on Australian history, revealing how the pursuit of tourism-driven development has indelibly shaped the city's identity and its relationship with the natural world. The book examines early settlement and development, the pivotal role of tourism, and the environmental impact of rapid development. It reveals how tourism propelled the Gold Coast to international fame, and how the region balances economic prosperity with ecological sustainability.

 
Structured in three parts, the book first establishes the historical context, then analyzes the rise of tourism, and finally examines the environmental challenges posed by urbanization. This approach provides a balanced view, acknowledging both the economic benefits and environmental costs associated with the Gold Coast's development.

    This rediscovered classic memoir tells the incredible tale of a woman defying society's expectations to find freedom and peace in the adventure of a lifetime. 
     
     
     
    In 1934, the painter Christiane Ritter leaves her comfortable life in Austria and travels to the remote Arctic island of Spitsbergen, to spend a year there with her husband. She thinks it will be a relaxing trip, a chance to "read thick books in the remote quiet and, not least, sleep to my heart's content," but when Christiane arrives she is shocked to realize that they are to live in a tiny ramshackle hut on the shores of a lonely fjord, hundreds of miles from the nearest settlement, battling the elements every day, just to survive. 
     
     
     
    At first, Christiane is horrified by the freezing cold, the bleak landscape the lack of equipment and supplies . . . But as time passes, after encounters with bears and seals, long treks over the ice and months on end of perpetual night, she finds herself falling in love with the Arctic's harsh, otherworldly beauty, gaining a great sense of inner peace and a new appreciation for the sanctity of life.

    More and more textile artists are using natural processes in their work, from dyeing with rust to working with found and scavenged items, and this book is the first to bring these increasingly popular techniques together. It promotes a way of working creatively with what is close at hand, whether gathered on walks by the seashore or collected in your garden, and working in tune with natural processes, bringing the rhythms and unpredictability of nature into your work.
    Examples of this type of working include rust dyeing embroidered fabric to give it a natural patina, dyeing with garden fruits or seaweed, weaving with pieces of beachcombed fibre and printing with found objects. In all of this work nature is directly harnessed to make its mark.
    The book is illustrated with the finest examples of contemporary embroidery and textile-art work using nature, by artists whose practice is tied up with their experience of and respect for the natural environment, often capturing a very strong sense of place and a feeling of calmness and contemplation.
