Practising the Good Life
This edited collection adds to the growing body of research on lifestyle migration with empirically grounded explorations focusing on a wide range of practices involved in living 'the good life'. The volume brings together a variety of socio-geographical contexts-from Swedish 'lifestyle movers' in Malta, retired Britons and Germans in Spain, and seekers of the 'rural idyll' in the Iberian Peninsula, to expats in Nepal, North Americans in Ecuador and 'utopian' lifestyle migrants in Patagonia-t ...

Recuerdos
A generation after the U.S. conquest of California, Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo set out to write the story of the land he knew so well—a history to dispel the romantic vision quickly overtaking the state’s recent past. The five-volume history he produced, published here for the first time in English translation, is the most complete account of California before the gold rush by someone who resided in California at the time. Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo (1807–90) grew up in Spanish California, became a leading military and political figure in Mexican California, and participated in some of the founding events of U.S. California, such as the Monterey Constitutional Convention and the first le...
Processes of Immigration in Rural Europe
Contemporary immigration processes, such as forced migration and labour-induced mobility, as well as lifestyle and leisure-oriented movements, increasingly affect areas in Europe that are considered as peripheral or rural. This edited collection sheds light on the diversity of in-migration, its specific implications for development and strategies for coping. Contributions from various sub-disciplines of the social sciences, including human and cultural geography, sociology and spatial planning with different regional foci, encourage theoretical discussions, enhancing empirical knowledge and providing stimuli for practitioners involved in migration and development issues. The structure of the volume therefore follows four main themes: (1) conceptual reflections on immigration to peripheral rural areas and development prospects; (2) patterns and types of immigration processes, drawing on various case studies from all over Europe; (3) realms of integration: namely, housing, economy and social life; (4) immigration management with a special emphasis on regional and local strategies, undertaken by policy-makers, the private sector and civil society.
Blood, Powder, and Residue
A rare behind-the-scenes look at the work of forensic scientists The findings of forensic science—from DNA profiles and chemical identifications of illegal drugs to comparisons of bullets, fingerprints, and shoeprints—are widely used in police investigations and courtroom proceedings. While we recognize the significance of this evidence for criminal justice, the actual work of forensic scientists is rarely examined and largely misunderstood. Blood, Powder, and Residue goes inside a metropolitan crime laboratory to shed light on the complex social forces that underlie the analysis of forensic evidence. Drawing on eighteen months of rigorous fieldwork in a crime lab of a major metro area, ...
İsa'nın Okul Günleri
David devamlı soru soran bir çocuktur. Simón ve Inés ise onu okula göndermez, Estrella’daki yeni evlerinde yetiştirirler. David oranın dilini öğrenir, arkadaş edinmeye başlar. Onu koruyan büyük köpekleri Bolívar da yanındadır. Fakat David yedi yaşına geldiğinde okula yazılması gerekir. Böylece Dans Akademisi’ne kaydolur. İşte tam da burada, altın dans ayakkabılarının içinde gökten sayıları nasıl indireceğini öğrenir. Yetişkinlerin ne kadar korkunç şeylere muktedir olduğunu da yine burada öğrenecektir. Çağımızın en büyük yazarlarından J.M. Coetzee, İsa Üçlemesi’nin ikinci kitabı olan bu büyüleyici alegorik romanında büyümek, ebeveyn olmak, zekâ ile duygu arasındaki daimi ikilemler gibi hayati konuları irdeliyor. “İsa’nın Okul Günleri, canlı felsefi konuşmalar, mizah dolu baba-oğul diyalogları, duygusal aile romansı ve son olarak da tekinsiz alegorik imaların da dahil edildiği bir çeşit türler alaşımı. Sonuç zengin, yoğun, yer yer de eğlenceli, ama hepsinden öte içsel bir gerilimle yüklü.” The New York Times Book Review
