Nobody’s Fool (DE)
by Hillel Lerman
+ Enlarge Picture Nobody’s Fool – Warum wir genau da landen, wo wir hingehören von Hillel Lerman Ted und Jimmy haben ihr Studium an der Georgetown University School of Law abgeschlossen.Sie sind gerade dabei, ihr Studentenwohnheim zu verlassen und wieder nach Hause zu fahren, da geraten sie in einen Streit.Jimmy behauptet, dass er in wenigen Jahren ein US-Senator sein wird.Sein Vater ist ein bekannter Anwalt, und er wird dafür sorgen, dass sein Sohn gewählt wird.Ted sagt, dass dies unmöglich sei. Jimmy sei kein Senator-Typ! Die beiden treffen Professor Carter, der von den beiden Ex-Studenten sehr verehrt wird.Sie fragen ihn, ob es überhaupt so etwas wie einen „Senatoren-Typ“ gibt und, wenn ja, ob er glaubt, dass Jimmy seinen ehrgeizigen Plan in die Realität umsetzen wird.Carters Antwort kommt in Form eines höchst ungewöhnlichen Vorschlags:Sie sollen ihn auf einer Reise um die Welt begleiten, bei der sie jeweils zwei Wochen an verschiedenen Orten bleiben, um seine Forschungen voranzutreiben.„Die Frage über Jimmy“, sagte er, „ist viel weitreichender.Sie betrifft extrem wichtige, grundlegende Prinzipien, die den Weg bestimmen, den Menschen in ihrem Leben einschlagen.“Sie lernen, warum George ein Busfahrer ist, der Tag für Tag zwischen Washington und Baltimore hin und her fährt, und warum Edward der britische Botschafter in Ägypten ist.Sie erhalten außerdem eine Antwort auf die Frage, die sie am Anfang ihres Abenteuer gestellt haben. Was Professor Carter jedoch nicht erwähnt, ist, dass er seine ganze akademische Karriere auf diese beiden Studenten setzt.Der wahre Grund für die Einladung ist, dass Carter dringend ihre Hilfe beim Nachweis einer Theorie braucht, die er entwickelt hat und die von seinen Kollegen in der Fakultät verspottet wird.„Entscheidet euch schnell“, sagt er ihnen.„Wir fahren in Kürze los...“ Dieser inspirierende Roman legt Zeugnis dafür ab, dass es keinen wirklichen Unterschied zwischen einem Universitätsprofessor und einem Hausmeister gibt. Nur ihre Positionen unterscheiden sich.Das ist alles.Im Gegensatz zu dem, was zu glauben wir programmiert wurden, ist keine Person klüger als eine andere, und keine ist dümmer.Menschen sind nur Menschen.Die chinesische Frau, die sich im Reisfeld bückt – ebenso wie der oberste Richter des obersten Gerichts – alle haben Wünsche, Ambitionen und Träume, fühlen Freude, Trauer und Schmerz. Diese scheinbar offensichtliche Wahrheit wird klar und überzeugend in dieser faszinierenden Geschichte präsentiert, die den Leser von der ersten bis zur letzten Seite (mit ihrem überraschenden Ende) fesselt.Sie ist eine Entdeckungsreise in die Menschlichkeit. Sie führt abseits der ausgetretenen Pfade zu Begriffen wie Gleichheit und Rassismus aus einer völlig anderen Perspektive. Diese anspruchsvolle Reise führt den Leser aus den Slums von Bombay zu einem Fußballfeld in Buenos Aires, dann in das Stadtviertel Borough Park in Brooklyn, und von dort aus in die Library of Congress in Washington, DC. Szene für Szene entwickelt sich der Faden der Geschichte allmählich und enthüllt den Code, der Menschen an ihren Platz im Leben führt.Warum ist George ein Busfahrer und Edward ein britischer Botschafter?Nobodys Fool liefert die Antwort. Hillel Lerman ist ein Industrie-Ingenieur, der eine Reihe von Startup-Unternehmen von Anfang an begleitet hat. Einige dieser Unternehmen sind sehr erfolgreich geworden. Er hat außerdem drei Startup-Unternehmen selbst gegründet.Seit vielen Jahren beschäftigt er sich mit Philosophie, vor allem im Bereich Prädetermination und freier Wille. Der Autor ist verheiratet, hat vier Kinder und eine wachsende Gruppe von Enkelkindern.Er schrieb dieses Buch auf einer Geschäftsreise, aus einem plötzlichen Impuls, ohne finanzielle oder andere Motivation.

June 2023Sustainable Tourism in the Americas
by Edward W Manning, Luis Márquez
Sustainable Tourism in the Americas introduces the reader to the establishment of sustainable tourism across the region. It examines questions such as 'what is really meant by sustainable tourism?' Covered in eight chapters, the book discusses the evolution and application of the concept in the Americas from its origins as well as documenting established success stories of sustainable tourism policy and implementation from several countries in the Americas. The country and regional case studies critically examine what sustainable tourism means in their destination and address how in practice the concept of sustainability can be built to show results across different cultural and ecological situations ranging from local indigenous sites to urban environments. The book presents solid findings and includes content from: · research of academics and experiences of those working within the heritage setting; · recent criteria and indicators of sustainable tourism developed by GSTC and other standards, indicators and observatories work associated with UNWTO; · success stories of managing Western tourism destinations and applies relevant lessons to Americas; · Provides support to those who need to study and manage impacted destinations. It will be a valuable addition to the current lack of literature on this concept and of particular interest to those working within and studying tourism management and related themes.
