View Rights Portal1927, drei Jahre nach Meine Freunde (Bibliothek Suhrkamp 744) und zwei Jahre nach Armand (Bibliothek Suhrkamp 792), erschien Emmanuel Boves Schilderung des Pariser Vorortes Bécon-les-Bruyères – in der Beschreibung und Erfindung sich mischen. Dadurch erreicht Bove nicht nur die Vergegenwärtigung einer Vorstadt von Paris, sondern schafft ein Porträt der Vorstadt schlechthin. Dies gelingt ihm, wie Peter Handke bemerkt, dadurch, daß er den »Duktus der Geschichtsschreibung« nicht auf einen Helden, sondern auf einen Ort anwendet.
A major concern for biological control has always been the risk of indirect unwanted effects on the ecology of other organisms. Our understanding of the ecological and evolutionary processes underlying these effects has until now been limited and experimental methods sometimes lacking. This book presents the key papers from of the first International Organisation for Biological Control global symposium, held in Montpellier, France, in October 1999. It addresses the issues and concerns involved in biological control, and assesses the current status of evaluation of the ecological effects.
Forests are an important component in the visual appeal of landscapes. There is an increasing recognition of the importance of this subject among foresters and environmental scientists. Increasingly, forest resource managers must consider both the aesthetic consequences of timber harvesting operations and management plans and public perceptions of the sustainability of forest eco-system management.Written by world class authorities this book is the first to address this subject area. It consists of 17 chapters and is divided into six parts. The interdisciplinary nature of the book brings together not only foresters and ecologists, but also landscape architects, psychologists and philosophers. Contributors are leading research workers in their subjects, from Canada, the USA and UK.
Citizenship, nation, empire investigates the extent to which popular imperialism influenced the teaching of history between 1870 and 1930. It is the first book-length study to trace the substantial impact of educational psychology on the teaching of history, probing its impact on textbooks, literacy primers and teacher-training manuals. Educationists identified 'enlightened patriotism' to be the core objective of historical education. This was neither tub-thumping jingoism, nor state-prescribed national-identity teaching, but rather a carefully crafted curriculum for all children which fused civic as well as imperial ambitions. The book will be of interest to those studying or researching aspects of English domestic imperial culture, especially those concerned with questions of childhood and schooling, citizenship, educational publishing and anglo-British relations. Given that vitriolic debates about the politics of history teaching have endured into the twenty-first century, Citizenship, nation, empire is a timely study of the formative influences that shaped the history curriculum in English schools
Experience is a crucial part of the hospitality industry, and must be carefully managed if it is to succeed. The first textbook to focus on experience specifically, this book provides a full and detailed insight into the ways in which experiences are designed and delivered. It covers management issues such as marketing, human resources, operations, quality management, facilities management, project management, and strategy, while considering hospitality operations within their wider geo-social and geo-environmental settings. Including a range of important contemporary topics such as overtourism, resilience and ethics, it is supported throughout by learning objectives, case studies, review questions, links to videos and further reading suggestions, and forms an invaluable read for students of hospitality and event management.
