Landscape and Identity in the Modern Basque Country, 1800 to 1936
Landscape and Identity in the Modern Basque Country, 1800 to 1936 studies the relationship between landscape and modern identities in the Basque Country. Using an interdisciplinary approach that combines cultural history and geography, it analyses the process of historical construction of the Basque landscape, highlighting its multiple political, social and cultural meanings. The book is divided into two parts: the first examines the discourses, images and representations of the Basque landscape; the second examines landscape practices through tourism, hiking and mountaineering. Focusing on the Basque case but establishing numerous connections with comparable phenomena in Western Europe, the...
Histories of Tourism
This collection of essays develops the historical dimension to tourism studies through thematic case studies. The editor's introduction argues for the importance of a closer relationship between history and tourism studies, and an international team of contributors explores the relationships between tourism, representations, environments and identities in settings ranging from the global to the local, from the Roman Empire to the twentieth century, and from Frinton to the 'Far East'.

Catálogo del fondo histórico vasco
La Biblioteca Universitaria de Deusto ha elaborado este «Catálogo del Fondo Histórico Vasco 1831-1939» (F.H.V.) a partir de una selección de los registros bibliográficos de su Catálogo General informatizado, pertenecientes a dicha sección. El objetivo de esta edición impresa es difundir el conocimiento de esta colección entre investigadores y estudiosos de la cultura vasca escrita y publicada entre 1831 y 1939. El periodo 1831-1939 se ha delimitado, considerando 1831 el inicio de la imprenta mecánica y 1939, final de la Guerra Civil Española, acontecimiento que produjo enormes pérdidas en bibliotecas y colecciones particulares, por lo que merece su protección en la sección de reserva.

A patria enteira
O tránsito cara á situación da jubilatio dun profesor universitario aconsella facer un alto no camiño e convocar a colegas e discípulos a unha celebración algo especial. Non se trata de palabras e músicas que leve o vento, nin de fastos propios de "paraninfos", senón de traballos e investigacións, cuxos contidos han de ficar para o porvir. Esta foi a idea que nos moveu para elaborar este libro-homenaxe ao profesor Xosé Ramón Barreiro Fernández. A iniciativa foi ben doada, pola disposición que todos os participantes amosaron para contribuíren ao que se lles demandaba. E os resultados á vista están, neste volume que será por tempo punto de referencia para a historia da cultura galega, nomeadamente da súa época máis recente.
Standard Basque and Its Dialects
The origins of Basque dialects, a highly disputed area of research in Basque studies, are examined. The author, the foremost expert on Basque dialects, traces their emergence to medieval times, using: a) the profusion of features common to all dialects: b) the large number of innovations common to all dialects; and c) the fact that the only truly divergent dialects are the western and Souletin ones. In contrast, the three central dialects differ in far fewer and less important respects. The main contribution of Standard Basque and Its Dialects to the scholarly debate about the formation of Basque is that it identifies the nuclei from which the current dialects almost certainly emerged. The book explains the points of view that Basque speakers have upheld concerning their dialects, the formation of provincial standards starting in the eighteenth century, and the launch of Standard Basque in the second half of the twentieth century.
