Hardback. Condition: New. New examinations of the figure of Charlemagne in Spanish literature and culture.The historical point of departure for this volume is Charlemagne's ill-fated incursion into Spain in 778. After an unsuccessful siege of Zaragoza, the king of the Franks directed his army north and on his passage through the Pyrenees, he turned his wrath on Pamplona, destroying the Basque city and its walls. The Basques subsequently ambushed the rearguard of Charlemagne's army on the heights of Pyrenees, killing numerous officers of the palace, plunderingthe baggage, and then vanishing into the forested hills, leaving the Franks to grieve without the satisfaction of revenge. In Spain, popular narratives eventually diverted their attention away from the Franks to the Spaniards responsible for their slaughter. This volume explores those legendary narratives of the Spaniards who defeated Charlemagne's army and the larger textual and cultural context of his presence in Spain, from before their careful elaboration in Latin and vernacular chronicles into the early modern period. It shares with previous studies a focus on the narration of historical and imaginary events across genres, but is unique in its emphasis on the reception and evolution of the legendary figure of Charlemagne in Spain. Overall, its purpose is to address the diversity and importance of the Carolingian legends in the literary, historical, and imaginative spheres during the Middle Ages, Renaissance, and into the seventeenth century.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Drawing on academic research, international case studies, and professional experience, transport expert Giles Bailey examines the rise of cycling and wider micro-mobility as central components of 21st-century urban transport. The book explores how cities confronting climate change, affordability pressures, and liveability challenges are integrating these modes-often in ways that diverge sharply from the well-known Dutch model.Through examples from cities across Europe, North America, Asia, South America, and Africa, Bailey analyses both the opportunities and limits of cycling-led transport strategies. While the focus is urban, the discussion extends to suburban, exurban, and rural contexts, highlighting how low-cost micro-mobility can support broader social and economic goals.Addressing themes including urbanisation, public health, the cycling economy, velo-tourism, and local freight, this book offers a rigorous yet accessible assessment of micro-mobility's evolving role in shaping modern, sustainable cities.Core features of the book: Strategic, accessible, globally informed narrativeCase studies from the Netherlands, Paris, and beyondDeep dive into mobility justice, urban space, and economic developmentInsight into rural cycling, cargo bikes, velo-tourism, and freightExplores links between cycling and public transport, health, and city controlA clear call to action: rethink how we build and move through urban space.About the Author Giles K Bailey is a transport strategist and urban mobility expert with over three decades of experience across public transport, mobility strategy, and urban innovation.He previously held senior roles at Transport for London, including Head of Marketing Strategy, and is Director of Stratageeb Ltd, advising clients on future mobility.Giles has lectured on transport innovation at Master's level for more than a decade and has published extensively in trade media across Europe and North America. With experience spanning the public and private sectors in Europe, North America, and Africa, he brings both analytical rigour and practical insight to the study of cycling and micro-mobility. A policy-focused assessment of cycling and micro-mobility as structural components of 21st-century transport systems. This item is printed on demand.
