Trends and Challenges
by Ulrike Pröbstl-Haider, Harold Richins, Stefan Türk
Winter tourism has seen increased levels of investment in recent times as new ski destinations develop and traditional skiing destinations merge to reduce economic risks by means of spatial distribution. Increasingly environmental issues in many established ski resorts, including certifications and adaptions of the management regime, and new mobility concepts to reduce CO2 emissions caused by the travel behavior of the winter tourists, are growing areas of consideration. This includes the importance of scenic beauty, nature and sustainable development as well as snow reliability and avalanche safety. Finally skiers themselves and their preferences (destination choice), need to be considered as part of demographic change and changing leisure time habits, in particular considering the Chinese market and its impact in the future. The book will explore these trends and discuss the different approaches and adaption strategies that are employed in the European Alpine region, North America, and Eastern Europe.

June 1993Essays
In der überarbeiteten Fassung der Übertragung von Paul Melchers. Herausgegeben und mit einem Nachwort versehen von Helmut Winter
by Francis Bacon, Helmut Winter, Paul Melchers, Helmut Winter, Helmut Winter
Die erste Ausgabe der »Essays« erschien 1597, erweiterte Fassungen 1612 und 1625. Knapp und nüchtern im Stil, geht es darin um Öffentliches (»Von hohen Ämtern, Von Parteien«) wie Privates (»Von Anhängern und Freunden, Vom Gespräch«), aber auch um allgemein Menschliches (»Von der Wahrheit, Von der Menschennatur«). Bacon verstand die »Essays« als eine Art Gebrauchsanleitung für das Überleben des Einzelnen in der Gesellschaft: Der Mensch sollte sich anpassen und verbessern können, getreu der Formel: »Das Benehmen der Menschen sei wie ihre Kleidung, nicht zu eng oder zu knapp, sondern mit Raum zu Bewegung und Übung.« Niemandem ist es gelungen, Ursache und Wirkung menschlicher Handlungen in ihren psychischen und sozialen Verflechtungen so prägnant zu beschreiben wie Francis Bacon, der, angeregt von Montaignes »Essais«, von Galilei und Descartes, in seinem Werk die Fundamente des modernen Denkens gelegt hat.
