New Tourism in the 21st Century
This book analyses the cultural elements of 21st-century tourism. The structure of the book is based on four main issues, which will help further the reader’s understanding of present-day experiential tourism: namely urban and cultural tourism on a global scale; specific studies of new products linked to reappraising the landscape; heritage; and nature. It also examines the influence of branding and of the images projected in order to promote this new type of tourism, using both theoretical and general approaches. Finally, the Camino de Santiago is analysed as a paradigm of the new pilgrimage routes all over the world, with their implications and polysemic nature. Culture, nature, spirituality and urbanism are brought together in a series of studies of contemporary tourist activities. Tourism is, in short, an activity that marks the return of slow movement, of calm and relaxation, of the landscape and of self-rediscovery as a reappraised counterpoint to the frenetic pace of life in modern-day societies.

An Anthology of Galician Short Stories
This volume includes a selection from a literary genre (translated into English) little known outside its geographical area, and provides information about the work of some writers in this field, extending modern Galician literature beyond the confines of the Spanish State.
Sobre narrativa galega contemporánea
Neste libro trátanse temas como "Narrativa, crítica e discurso social", a cuestión da literatura nacional ou a relación creación-crítica, pero tamén se ofrecen estudos e recensións de libros concretos dun abano de escritores que vai desde Víctor Freixanes e Xosé Carlos Caneiro ata Miguel Anxo Murado e Manuel Rivas. Como di a autora, "A función da literatura é facer agromar aquelo que levamos agochados no fondo de nós mesmos. Cando isto acontece dende o que somos e fomos, cando se nos reta a reflexionar sobre o que queremos ou non queremos ser, entón o mundo cobra un certo senso nas páxinas dese libro".
O soño (re)dirixido
O título parte dunha frase de Jorge Luis Borges referida ao quefacer literario. Percorrendo un camiño que conduce de Aberdeen á Limia, de Uruk a Mondoñedo, de Atila a Pardo de Cela e á raíña Lupa, Vítor Vaqueiro mostra novamente as obsesións que caracterizan a súa obra narrativa e poética: o Tempo, o Mito, a inxustiza despótica inherente ao Poder, a Memoria imperiosa, a Infancia, e, por riba de todo, a Morte inevitábel.

English Modality
The book presents new issues and areas of work in modality and evidentiality in English(es), and in relation to other European languages (French, Galician, Lithuanian, Spanish). Given the complexity of the relations among modal and evidential expressions, their constant diachronic evolution, and the variation found in different English-speaking areas, and in different genres and discourse domains, the volume addresses the following issues: the conceptual nature of modality, the relationship between the domains of modality and evidentiality, the evolution and current status of the modal auxiliaries and other modal expressions, the relationship with neighbouring grammatical categories (tense, aspect, mood), and the variation in different discourse domains and genres, in modelling stance and discourse identities.
