Although there has been an increasing interest in rural tourism in terms of research, training and teaching, its conceptualization and the relationships between concept and strategy are still poorly represented and not well understood. The need for such a critical understanding is particularly crucial now as rural areas experience rapid change and as tourism is viewed as a potentially key element of development and regeneration. This book provides an interdisciplinary perspective and overview of the latest conceptual thinking on, and the evolving strategic roles of rural tourism, bringing toge

The decline in agricultural and other forms of rural employment in developed countries has created a need for a diversified range of rural businesses. Tourism and recreation are recognized as prime contributors to this process. This book reviews both the theory and practice of rural tourism and recreation. Including numerous case studies and contributions from both academics and practitioners, it illustrates how small enterprises can create and adapt products and markets.

Intended for first- and second-year undergraduates, this introduction to solid-state chemistry includes practical examples of applications and modern developments to offer students the opportunity to apply their knowledge in real-life situations. It aims to provide students with a thorough understanding of the traditional knowledge of crystal structures: lattices, unit cells, close packing, and octahedral and tetrahedral holes and their occupation by various ions in the well-known crystal structures. This descriptive work is augmented by free-electron and band theory. Links to other branches o

Welcome to the completely revised edition of the market-leading Java exam preparation guide from Sybex! Authors Simon Roberts (the lead author of the Java exams), Philip Heller, and Michael Ernest have completely revamped their book, writing five new chapters on the tough Developer’s exam and adding lots of new questions (200 new ones in the book and on the CD). In response to reader feedback, we’ve cut out the long API reference that was in the previous edition and replaced it with more meaningful content. Finally, the CD now contains a fully searchable electronic edition of the b

The Hatteras lighthouse is more than a guiding light to seafarers, it also stands as a memorial to the keepers and their families who honored a public trust at great cost and who faithfully provided this valuable service. With the passing of time, however, the tides have gradually eroded the beach on which the sentinel stands, threatening to topple the structure. Thus one of the most daunting engineering tasks imaginable has been undertaken to save the lighthouse and move it to a new foundation 1,600 feet inland from its original site. This book commemorates the event and recalls th

For two-semester, junior/senior-level courses in the History of England. Volume II may be used for a one-semester course in Modern England. This two-volume broad, narrative account of English history--from the first settlers in the Paleolithic Age to the present day--draws on the most up-to-date primary and secondary research to illuminate the full range of England’s social, economic, cultural, and political past, and focuses on how and why events occurred.

This book, aimed at precollege teachers, shows how the role of simulation modeling in investigating dynamic processes is now extending beyond research and university environments to the precollege world. The introduction of computer modeling has the potential to significantly improve the quality of secondary science and mathematics education. Enhanced by the adoption of national standards, the increasing access to information through the Internet, and the availability of powerful, user-friendly modeling software, modeling has become even more accessible and relevant to the science and mathemat
