Download or read book Cultural Tourism written by bob Mckercher and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-10-02 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examine cultural tourism issues from both sides of the industry! Unique in concept and content, Cultural Tourism: The Partnership Between Tourism and Cultural Heritage Management examines the relationship between the sectors that represent opposite sides of the cultural tourism coin. While tourism professionals assess cultural assets for their profit potential, cultural heritage professionals judge the same assets for their intrinsic value. Sustainable cultural tourism can only occur when the two sides form a true partnership based on understanding and appreciation of each other's merits. The authors--one, a tourism specialist, the other, a cultural heritage management expert--present a model for a working partnership with mutual benefits, integrating management theory and practice from both disciplines. Cultural Tourism is the first book to combine the different perspectives of tourism management and cultural heritage management. It examines the role of tangible (physical evidence of culture) and intangible (continuing cultural practices, knowledge, and living experiences) heritage, describes the differences between cultural tourism products and cultural heritage assets, and develops a number of conceptual models, including a classification system for cultural tourists, indicators of tourism potential at cultural and heritage assets, and assessment criteria for cultural and heritage assets with tourism potential. Cultural Tourism examines the five main constituent elements involved in cultural tourism: cultural and heritage assets in tourism sites such as the Royal Palace in Bangkok, the Cook Islands, and Alcatraz Prison in San Francisco. tourism--what it is, how it works, and what makes it a success five different types of cultural tourists consumption of products, value adding, and commodification integrating the first four elements to satisfy the tourist, meet the needs of the tourism industry, and conserve the intrinsic value of the asset Though tourism and cultural heritage management professionals have mutual interests in the management, conservation, and presentation of cultural and heritage assets, the two sectors operate on parallel planes, maintaining an uneasy partnership with surprisingly little dialogue. Cultural Tourism provides professionals and students in each field with a better understanding of their own roles in the partnership, bridging the gap via sound planning, management, and marketing to produce top-quality, long-lasting cultural tourism products.

Download or read book Ecology and Conservation of the Cactus Ferruginous Pygmy owl in Arizona written by Jean-Luc E. Cartron and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is the result of a cooperative effort by the Rocky Mountain Research Station and the USDA Forest Service Region 3, with participation by the Arizona Game and Fish Department and the Bureau of Land Management. It assesses the state of knowledge related to the conservation status of the cactus ferruginous pygmy-owl in Arizona. The population decline of this owl has been attributed to the loss of riparian areas before and after the turn of the 20th century. Currently, the cactus ferruginous pygmy-owl is chiefly found in southern Arizona in xeroriparian vegetation and wellstructured upland desertscrub. The primary threat to the remaining pygmy-owl population appears to be continued habitat loss due to residential development. Important information gaps exist and prevent a full understanding of the current population status of the owl and its conservation needs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The first approach can be called vertical since what is explored here is the human body's relationship to the divine, to the bestial and to the machines that imitate or simulate it. The second approach covers the various junctures between the body's "outside" and "inside": it can therefore be called a "psychosomatic" approach, studying the manifestation - or production - of soul and the expression of emotions through the body's attitudes, and, on another level, the speculations inspired by cenesthesia, pain and death. Finally, the third approach ... brings into play the classical opposition between organ and function by showing how a certain organ or bodily substance can be used to justify or challenge the way human society functions ..." - foreword Part 3.

Download or read book Violent Environments written by Nancy Lee Peluso and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do environmental problems and processes produce violence? Current U.S. policy about environmental conflict and scholarly work on environmental security assume direct causal links between population growth, resource scarcity, and violence. This belief, a staple of governmental decision-making during both Clinton administrations and widely held in the environmental security field, depends on particular assumptions about the nature of the state, the role of population growth, and the causes of environmental degradation.The conventional understanding of environmental security, and its assumptions about the relation between violence and the environment, are challenged and refuted in Violent Environments. Chapters by geographers, historians, anthropologists, and sociologists include accounts of ethnic war in Indonesia, petro-violence in Nigeria and Ecuador, wildlife conservation in Tanzania, and "friendly fire" at Russia's nuclear weapons sites. Violent Environments portrays violence as a site-specific phenomenon rooted in local histories and societies, yet connected to larger processes of material transformation and power relations. The authors argue that specific resource environments, including tropical forests and oil reserves, and environmental processes (such as deforestation, conservation, or resource abundance) are constituted by and in part constitute the political economy of access to and control over resources. Violent Environments demands new approaches to an international set of complex problems, powerfully arguing for deeper, more ethnographically informed analyses of the circumstances and processes that cause violence.

Download or read book Violent Geographies written by Derek Gregory and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-18 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Violent Geographies is essential to understanding how the politics of fear, terror, and violence in being largely hidden geographically can only be exposed in like manner. The 'War on Terror' finally receives the coolly critical analysis its ritual invocation has long required." —John Agnew, Professor of Geography, UCLA "Urgent, passionate and deeply humane, Violent Geographies is uncomfortable but utterly compelling reading. An essential guide to a world splintered and wounded by fear and aggression—this is geography at its most politically engaged, historically sensitive, and intellectually brave." —Ben Highmore, University of Sussex "This is what a ‘public geography’ should be all about: acute analysis of momentous issues of our time in an accessible language. Gregory and Pred have assembled a peerless group of critical geographers whose essays alter conventional understandings of terror, violence, and fear. No mere gazetteer, Violent Geographies shows how place, space and landscape are central components of the real and imagined practices that constitute organised violence past and present. If you thought terror, violence, and fear were the professional preserve of security analysts and foreign affairs experts this book will force you to think again." —Noel Castree, School of Environment and Development, Manchester University "A studied, passionate and moving examination of the way in which the violent logics of the ‘War on Terror’ have so quickly shuttered and reorganized the spaces of this planet on its different scales. From the book emerges a critical new cartography that clearly charts an archipelago of a large multiplicity of ‘wild’ and ‘tamed’ places as well as ‘black holes’ within and between which we all struggle to live." —Eyal Weizman, Director, Goldsmiths College Centre for Research Architecture

Download or read book Evaluaci n sensorial aplicada a la investigaci n desarrollo y control de la calidad en la industria alimentaria written by Raúl G. Torricella-Morales and published by Editorial Universitaria (Cuba). This book was released on 2020-07-29 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El libro de Evaluación Sensorial, como se conoce entre los estudiantes de la carrera de Ciencia y Tecnología de los Alimentos, se ha utilizado y se continua utilizando como material básico de consulta de los alumnos, profesores e investigadores relacionados con esta carrera universitaria que se imparte en la Universidad de La Habana. Dada la importancia que tiene la Evaluación Sensorial en la formación de Licenciados, Maestros y Doctores en la especialidad de Alimentos, la Editorial Universitaria se planteó como objetivo publicar la segunda edición del mismo. Dada la mala calidad de la tipografía de los ejemplares disponibles en biblioteca y la no existencia de versiones electrónicas del texto, se hizo necesario la transcripción y el rediseño de sus figuras y tablas. Este trabajo fue realizado por el propio autor, quien aprovechó la oportunidad para corregir el texto allí donde el paso del tiempo lo hacía indispensable, como por ejemplo, citar el artículo de Newell y MacFarlane quienes criticaron las tablas estadísticas de Kramer que se presentan en el Anexo 14 y la eliminación del programa de computación del Anexo 20, ya obsoleto. Sin embargo, a pesar del paso del tiempo la obra mantiene su espíritu original: el de ser la herramienta básica para el trabajo de quienes pretendan emplear la evaluación sensorial en el control de la calidad o en la investigación en el campo de la Ciencia y la Tecnología de los Alimentos.

Download or read book La denominaci n de origen written by Francisco Millán Salas and published by Editorial Reus. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Considerada la denominación de origen como indicación geográfica y como modalidad de la propiedad industrial, en la presente monografía se estudia la protección jurídica de la denominación de origen desde distintos derechos. Desde el Derecho internacional, a través de convenios internacionales y de convenios bilaterales firmados por España. Desde el Derecho comunitario y desde el Derecho español, distinguiendo en uno y otro derecho la protección jurídica para productos vinícolas y para productos agrícolas y alimenticios. Se analiza, por una parte el concepto de denominación de origen y sus diferencias con la indicación geográfica y, por otra, el derecho de uso exclusivo de la denominación de origen desde la vertiente positiva, como conjunto de facultades que tienen los titulares de tal derecho, y desde la vertiente negativa o ius prohibendi. Se distingue la denominación de origen de figuras como la marca individual, la marca colectiva o la marca de garantía. Finalmente, se analiza la protección jurídica desde el Derecho de marcas, del de competencia desleal, del de sociedades y desde el Derecho Penal.
