Winner of the 2019 Turku Book Award from the European Society for Environmental History The Albufera Natural Park, an area ten kilometers south of Valencia that is widely regarded as the birthplace of paella, has long been prized by residents and visitors alike. Since the twentieth century, the disparate visions of city dwellers, farmers, fishermen, scientists, politicians, and tourists have made this working landscape a site of ongoing conflict over environmental conservation in Europe, the future of Spain, and Valencian identity. In Cultivating Nature, Sarah Hamilton explores the Albufera?s contested lands and waters, which have supported and been transformed by human activity for a millennium, in order to understand regional, national, and global social histories. She argues that efforts to preserve biological and cultural diversity must incorporate the interests of those who live within heavily modified and long-exploited ecosystems such as the Albufera de Valencia. Shifting between local struggles and global debates, this fascinating environmental history reveals how Franco?s dictatorship, Spain?s integration with Europe, and the crisis in European agriculture have shaped the Albufera, its users, and its inhabitants.

This book is very special to Angie. This is a true and honest version of her whole life. It is very graphic and may be seen as very sad and sometimes very unbelievable. It has been painful for her writing this book but also therapeutic, and it was something she wanted to do to make people aware and hopefully encourage them to change the situation, move on, or to get courage to do something about being abused. It is important to see that everyone is as good as each other, and are all entitled, to freedom and happiness and more importantly have a safe life.
