Sinossi

Seville Rhythms explores the captivating city of Seville, Spain, examining its rich tapestry of history, culture, and traditions. Seville is a unique crucible of Spanish cultural identity.

 
The book highlights how Seville's Moorish past, passionate flamenco, and controversial bullfighting tradition have shaped its identity. Seville was once known as Al-Andalus under Islamic rule, and later became a major port in the Spanish Empire.

 
The narrative progresses from the origins of flamenco in marginalized communities to the architectural wonders left by the Moors, such as the Alcázar. It also confronts the debates surrounding bullfighting.

 
This exploration provides a lens through which to understand broader aspects of Spanish history and identity. The book aims to provide a balanced view of Seville's traditions, acknowledging the complexities and controversies that surround them.

 
The journey through Seville Rhythms begins with an introduction to Seville’s history and geography, then moves into in-depth explorations of flamenco, Moorish heritage, and bullfighting. It culminates in an analysis of Seville's enduring influence on Spanish art, music, and traditions.

 
Ultimately, this book aims to enrich the understanding of travelers, students, and anyone curious about Spanish culture.

    This book is about twenty-one days, and sixty years. A motorcycle ride down the spine of Appalachia, with a little banjo  and big myth for company, to play and sing at the graves of dead banjo heroes. About making a life about making work. This book is about outsiders. Interlopers. Class migrants. Death. Awakening. Creative Process. Growth through risk-taking. It’s a book about ghosts. Music. Writing. Not writing. What’s this book not about? “Finding myself.” I know who I am.

    Travel the Bruce Trail in day hikes with Loops & Lattes author Nicola Ross 
    		 
    Best known for her detailed Loops & Lattes hiking guides, Nicola Ross has inspired tens of thousands of people to lace up their boots and explore Ontario’s trails. In 40 Days & 40 Hikes, this adventurer, author, and environmentalist sets herself a new challenge: to hike the Bruce Trail from Niagara to Tobermory in her own creative way. In 40 cleverly crafted day-loops, Ross covers over 900 kilometers mostly following Canada’s longest marked trail, taking you with her on an insightful journey to the Niagara Escarpment’s remarkable sights.
    		 
    As Ross walks, she reveals stories of the trail’s flora and fauna, geology and history. The Bruce Trail becomes the central character as she ponders her role in protecting the fragile corner of the planet that, she contends, is entwined in her DNA. Despite long days on the trail, encounters with bears, ticks, and a deadly derecho, her passion for her beloved Niagara Escarpment mounts as she explores Ontario’s “ribbon of wilderness.”
    		 
    Perfect for hikers, non-hikers, and anyone who loves an adventure, 40 Days & 40 Hikes is both a captivating travelogue and a useful companion for those who Ross will undoubtedly inspire to follow in her footsteps.
