Cet ouvrage à plusieurs voix vise à mettre en lumière l¿intemporalité et le caractère international du surréalisme, non seulement en tant que mouvement artistique, mais aussi comme défenseur de cette essence humaine qui nous pousse à aller au-delà des réalités apparentes. Le surréalisme ne chercherait donc pas tant à comprendre le monde mais à le vivre dans toutes ses dimensions insoupçonnées. Pour démontrer cela, ce livre adopte une approche comparatiste illustrant le dialogue permanent entre le mouvement surréaliste et le monde qui l¿entoure, mais aussi entre les artistes d¿un pays à l¿autre, en Europe et aux Canaries. Il se propose ainsi de mesurer la profondeur et la portée de ce surréalisme qui a su conquérir tant de c¿urs, et sa quête éperdue d¿une beauté qui, pour reprendre les mots d¿Annie Le Brun, « ouvre l¿horizon et permet d¿échapper à ce qui est ». Este libro polifacético pretende destacar la intemporalidad y el carácter internacional del Surrealismo, no sólo como movimiento artístico, sino también como defensor de esa esencia humana que nos impulsa a ir más allá de las realidades aparentes. El surrealismo no buscaría tanto comprender el mundo como experimentarlo en todas sus insospechadas dimensiones. Para demostrarlo, este libro adopta un enfoque comparativo que ilustra el diálogo permanente entre el movimiento surrealista y el mundo que lo rodea, pero también entre artistas de un país a otro, en Europa y en Canarias. Propone así medir la profundidad y el alcance de este surrealismo que ha conquistado tantos corazones, y su frenética búsqueda de una belleza que, en palabras de Annie Le Brun, "abre el horizonte y permite escapar de lo que es".

The definitive work on the European Storm-petrel and its relatives, by one of the world's leading experts on the species.Imagine a bird as small as a sparrow, which lives most of its life on the open ocean yet can survive for decades. It walks on the water, and migrates half way around the world, returning to remote islands to breed underground, often in exactly the same rock crevice each year. To attract a mate it sings like a fairy and smells aromatic, but it vomits oil onto its enemies. It visits its nest by night, lays a single enormous egg, and feeds its chick until the nestling weighs more than both its parents put together. It seems to have little fear of humans, but was itself sometimes feared by ancient seafarers. This might sound like the stuff of legend but is actually the description of a real creature; the European Storm-petrel; walker on water, global wanderer, climate sentinel and open-ocean survivor, and a member of a group of around twenty species that form the Hydrobatidae family. The latest in the Poyser series, with comprehensive text and beautiful illustrations throughout, this follows the remarkable life of the storm-petrel. Focusing on the European species, it tracks their lives from the remote North Atlantic islands, where they breed via the coasts of Africa, to the South Atlantic and Indian Ocean, where they spend the northern winter. There is also some discussion on other members of the storm-petrel family. We learn about their evolution, behaviour, ecology and adaptations to a life in the harsh and unpredictable environment of the open ocean, and discover what these enigmatic seabirds reveal about what humans are doing to our planet.

Bachelorarbeit aus dem Jahr 2017 im Fachbereich Tourismus - Sonstiges, Note: 1,7, Fachhochschule Westküste Heide, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Ein zunehmend an Bedeutung gewinnendes Urlaubssegment entspringt unter anderem dem Trend zum Aufenthalt in der Natur ¿ der Radtourismus. Radtouristen haben jedoch nicht nur besondere Ansprüche an ihre Urlaubsdestination, sondern auch ihre ganz eigenen Motive und Interessen. Gleichermaßen ist auch der Stellenwert der Kanaren als Urlaubsdestination in den vergangenen Jahren noch weiter gestiegen. Besonders auf Gran Canaria wurden zuletzt in Bezug auf die internationalen Touristenankünfte neue Rekordwerte erzielt. Einen nicht geringen Anteil an diesem Trend haben auch Aktivtouristen, zu denen unter anderem Wanderer, Golfer, aber eben auch Radtouristen gehören. Doch wo genau liegen die Präferenzen dieser Zielgruppe? Welche naturräumlichen und infrastrukturellen Voraussetzungen müssen gegeben sein, damit eine Destination für Radtouristen attraktiv ist? Neben der Klärung dieser Fragen beschäftigt sich diese Arbeit mit einer Untersuchung des Stellenwerts, den der Radtourismus auf dem Tourismusmarkt des Untersuchungsraums einnimmt. Darüber hinaus wird erforscht, welche Veränderungen in Zukunft eine bessere Ausschöpfung des Potenzials ermöglichen können.
