The Islamic occupation of the Algarve during the Middle Ages left a strong legacy in many areas of Portuguese culture. We call this territorial domain Gharb al-Andalus. In addition to the intangible legacy, the material remains discovered throughout the region attest to the long permanence of Islamic occupation. Within these parameters, a large number of Islamic buildings have been classified as National Monuments and Buildings of Public Interest. However, many of these structures leave us in doubt as to the state of preservation and dissemination of the heritage to local communities. This book addresses this shortcoming in an informative way, with fact sheets on Islamic heritage in the Algarve. Safeguarding the built cultural heritage is a patent that should not be ignored and, hopefully, new initiatives to protect the legacy of our history and culture will be realised.

L'objectif de cette étude était de connaître l'histoire d'Octacílio Rodrigues da Silva, de ses parents et de ses frères et s¿urs qui vivaient à proximité. En 1919, la famille s'est installée dans l'actuelle ville de Giruá en raison de la construction du chemin de fer, qui allait modifier la croissance de la ville et la colonisation dans la région nord-ouest du Rio Grande do Sul. Après avoir été policier, il a pris sa retraite avec le grade de colonel de la brigade militaire. Ce travail implique ses premiers frères, hérités de son père. Ils sont impliqués dans divers aspects de la politique brésilienne et régionale dans les années 1930, la colonne Prestes et la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Elle inclut ses études et sa vie privée après sa retraite, avec un travail philanthropique. L'histoire est donc à la fois familière et nouvelle du point de vue de ce soldat de 97 ans.

Lo scopo di questo studio è stato quello di conoscere la storia di Octacílio Rodrigues da Silva, dei suoi genitori e dei suoi fratelli che vivevano nelle vicinanze. Nel 1919, la famiglia si stabilì nell'attuale città di Giruá perché si stava costruendo la ferrovia, che avrebbe cambiato la crescita della città e la colonizzazione della regione nord-occidentale del Rio Grande do Sul. Da poliziotto, si ritirò con il grado di colonnello nella Brigata Militare. Questo lavoro coinvolge i suoi primi fratelli, ereditati dal padre. Essi sono coinvolti in vari aspetti della politica brasiliana e regionale negli anni Trenta, nella Colonna Prestes e nella Seconda guerra mondiale. Include i suoi studi e la sua vita privata dopo il pensionamento con il lavoro filantropico. Di conseguenza, la storia è allo stesso tempo familiare e nuova dal punto di vista del soldato 97enne.

Ziel dieser Studie war es, die Geschichte von Octacílio Rodrigues da Silva, seinen Eltern und Geschwistern, die in der Nähe wohnten, zu erforschen. 1919 ließ sich die Familie in der heutigen Stadt Giruá nieder, weil dort die Eisenbahn gebaut wurde, die das Wachstum der Stadt und die Kolonisierung der nordwestlichen Region von Rio Grande do Sul verändern sollte. Da er Polizist war, wurde er mit dem Rang eines Obersts in der Militärbrigade pensioniert. An dieser Arbeit sind seine ersten Brüder beteiligt, die er von seinem Vater geerbt hat. Sie sind in verschiedene Aspekte der brasilianischen und regionalen Politik in den 1930er Jahren, der Prestes-Kolonne und des Zweiten Weltkriegs verwickelt. Es umfasst auch seine Studien und sein Privatleben nach seiner Pensionierung mit philanthropischer Arbeit. So ist die Geschichte aus der Sicht des 97-jährigen Soldaten sowohl vertraut als auch neu.

Written neither as a conventional biography or battalion history, this work centres on the remarkable life of Joe Waite, a boy soldier of the Great War. Though, in telling his story, the names and lives of 64 of his fallen comrades are also revealed. All were lost in just one month of fighting, during the hell that was the Third Battle of Ypres - also known as Passchendaele.Born in a tough, working-class neighbourhood in Coventry, in the heart of the industrial Midlands, Joe's childhood was blighted by the loss of his mother and tempered by his father's decision to separate him from his siblings and re-marry. The need to earn his keep forced him into factory work from an early age, soon resulting in a humbling brush with the law. Eventually, the outbreak of war, and later, a family row over a pair of boots, lead to his enlistment in the army, at just 16 years old.Hiding the secret of his true age from his comrades in the 1/7th (TF) battalion, The Royal Warwickshire Regiment, Joe left Coventry and its troubles far behind as he fought his way across Northern France, including at the infamous Battle of the Somme. His time on the Western Front would eventually draw to a close outside the town of Ypres in Belgium, in October 1917. In that month, and still officially too young to fight, Joe was awarded a Military Medal for his bravery at the Battle of Broodseinde.Using sources such as war diaries, personal, public, and military records, the account of not only the battle, but also the story of each man of Joe's unit who fell there, is told. With further reference to a unique eyewitness account, voice is also given to what thoughts and feelings the men may have experienced as they fought in the mud of Ypres. Then, as the culmination of an exhaustive and painstaking research project, the stories of the fallen are told, together, for the first time. From civilian life to military service, each mini-biography is a sensitive and respectful telling of the unique and varied accounts of so many men, from so many different backgrounds, allowing for a renewed appreciation of a generation now lost to history.These stories tell of men from all over Britain and even beyond. Men who eventually became soldiers in an infantry battalion originally raised in Coventry, but whose makeup changed so much, as war exerted its toll. Where records allow, it also tells of how their families and communities remembered the fallen, so many of whom have no known resting place. Standing chiefly as a fitting tribute to those lost soldiers, this work concludes with the story of Joe's life after the Great War. With one final tragedy to come, its telling will eventually lead to a stark truth; that it isn't only through the eyes of a soldier that the cruelty of war can be seen so harshly.

This work consists of end-of-course research, and refers to farmers in the city of São João do Sul, specifically those who grow tobacco, with a focus on the decades from the 1960s to the 1990s, a period when tobacco cultivation reached its peak in the region. In the research, I work with some works that deal with this cultivation, works that talk about labour relations, but oral sources are the richest and from which the author obtains essential information for his research.
