December 2010Das Erste, woran ich denke
Roman
by Ida Jessen, Angelika Gundlach
Es ist Spätsommer. In der kleinen Stadt Hvium in der dänischen Provinz wird Gustav, der Sohn der Pastorin, sieben Jahre alt. Zur selben Zeit taucht die Kindheitsfreundin der Pastorin auf. Sie lebt als Schriftstellerin in Kopenhagen und kommt weder mit ihrer Arbeit noch mit ihrer Beziehung zu einem verheirateten Mann zurecht. In der Gesellschaft ihrer Freundin will sie etwas Ruhe finden. Zum Geburtstag bekommt Gustav ein schönes, neues Fahrrad. Da passiert ein schreckliches Unglück, und das beschauliche Leben auf dem Pfarrhof wird brutal zerstört. Gustav wird von einem Auto überfahren. Der Fahrer flüchtet. Gefühle von Trauer, Schuld, Zorn – und der Wunsch nach Vergebung beherrschen Gustavs Mutter. Aber nicht die Pastorin und ihr Mann, ein ganzes Dorf ist auf der Suche nach dem Mörder. Aus der ländlichen Idylle wird ein Ort des Horrors. Und Brigitte, die Kindheitsfreundin, ist nicht länger Gast, sondern Therapeutin - und Sündenbock. Ida Jessen erzählt die Geschichte eines tragischen Verlustes und einer Freundschaft zwischen zwei Frauen, deren Lebenspläne nicht unterschiedlicher sein könnten.

The ArtsMay 2021Development, architecture, and the formation of heritage in late twentieth-century Iran
A vital past
by Ali Mozaffari, Nigel Westbrook
This book analyses the use of the past and the production of heritage through architectural design in the developmental context of Iran, a country that has endured radical cultural and political shifts in the past five decades. Offering a trans-disciplinary approach toward complex relationship between architecture, development, and heritage, Mozaffari and Westbrook suggest that transformations in developmental contexts like Iran must be seen in relation to global political and historical exchanges, as well as the specificities of localities. The premise of the book is that development has been a globalizing project that originated in the West. Transposed into other contexts, this project instigates a renewed historical consciousness and imagination of the past. The authors explore the rise of this consciousness in architecture, examining the theoretical context to the debates, international exchanges made in architectural congresses in the 1970s, the use of housing as the vehicle for everyday heritage, and forms of symbolic public architecture that reflect monumental time.

September 2022Tourism Planning and Development in Eastern Europe
by Hania Janta, Konstantinos Andriotis, Dimitrios Stylidis
Three decades ago, the hypermobility of tourists from the days before the global pandemic was truly unthinkable in Eastern Europe. The borders were closed and the region isolated from the rest of the world. Despite an extraordinary transformation of tourism in the area since, Eastern Europe remains under-explored in tourism studies. This book fills the gap by outlining contemporary strategies for tourism development in post-socialist countries, considering the opportunities and challenges as well as the initiatives and approaches to sustainability. Reviewing tourism development and planning across Albania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czechia, Estonia, Latvia, Poland and Romania, this book: - Offers a contemporary and insightful outlook of Eastern Europe tourism, with a wide range of case studies from inter-disciplinary and single-disciplinary perspectives; - Uses varied methodological approaches and research methods, including in-depth interviews, focus groups, informal conversations, document analysis, netnography, questionnaires and secondary data, to form an interesting and diverse treatise; - Considers post-COVID tourism and the significant role of tourism stakeholders in its re-development. Illuminating the various economic, socio-cultural and environmental impacts that tourism has created, this book is a valuable reference for researchers and students of tourism and related disciplines, as well as anyone interested in the development of Eastern Europe.

April 2022Tourism Planning and Development in Western Europe
by Konstantinos Andriotis, Carla Pinto Cardoso, Dimitrios Stylidis
For many decades, Western European countries have undertaken diverse pathways in tourism development and planning. Most have experienced fast or even unlimited growth, resulting in overtourism and, now, the introduction of policies that respect the limits of communities and the sustainability of their resources. Focusing exclusively on tourism development, planning and policy, this book draws together new voices to discuss issues across Belgium, Denmark, Faroe Islands, Finland, France, Germany, Greenland, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Malta, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and the UK. It: - Provides both successful and unsuccessful case studies to illuminate real, practical solutions, developed by tourism scholars who are experts in their researched context countries. - Adopts a range of methodological approaches to cover diverse and less-covered areas such as industrial tourism, saltpans, natural and cultural heritage, and micro-destinations. - Considers post-COVID tourism and the significant role of tourism stakeholders in Western Europe's re-development. An invaluable collection for policy-makers, researchers and academics, this book is also an insightful source of engaging contemporary case studies for use in the classroom.
