Book Description
The open road has tempted Padraig Grant his whole life. He's not suited for life in the lists, training warriors for the battlefield. His calling is somewhere over the next hill. Or maybe it's right in front of him, in the alluring form of Gisela Matheson. If only she weren't already betrothed to Donald MacKinnie, the Scourge of Black Isle.Gisela remembers when Donald was courteous and honorable. But the man has changed, turning cruel and possessive. Even if her life hadn't been thrown into chaos by the Matheson Curse, she wouldn't want to become his bride. Padraig, on the other hand?well, he's one she can't get enough of. He brings light to her world, and she might think about marrying him, if he didn't have a wanderer's soul. Marrying another would solve her problem with Donald, though.Driven by jealousy, Donald issues an ultimatum: Either Padraig leaves Black Isle and Gisela, or innocents die. Padraig must choose between leaving his true love to save lives or stay and protect her and see more people hurt. Suddenly the distant horizon isn't quite so tempting. But staying might be worse.

Fishing for Heritage
Author: Jane Nadel-Klein
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000190242
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 206
Book Description
Castles, lochs, seascapes. Coastal Scotland is one of the world's most romanticized tourist destinations, yet it is in the midst of severe economic decline. The North Atlantic fisheries crisis has hit Scottish communities hard and local fisherfolk are faced with chronic insecurity, anxiety over the decline of fishing and doubts about their cultural survival. The decline of this traditional industry has been accompanied by growing tourism along Scottish shores. Fishing villages are marketed for tourist consumption and culture has become a commodity. Drawing upon fieldwork, novels, folk music and travel literature, Nadel-Klein explores how these influences have affected locals' sense of identity and presence within a modern European nation. How is identity linked to power? What role do memory and authenticity play in the creation of Scottish heritage? How do locals feel about the onslaught of tourists? The topical nature of these issues and their relevance to other regions facing similar tensions make this book an important contribution to contemporary anthropology.
