        Managing Hospitality Experiences

        by Alexandra J Kenyon, Peter Robinson, James Musgrave

        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.

        Exhibiting the Empire

        Cultures of display and the British Empire

        by John McAleer, Andrew Thompson, John M. MacKenzie, John M. MacKenzie

        Exhibiting the empire considers how a whole range of cultural products - from paintings, prints, photographs, panoramas and 'popular' texts to ephemera, newspapers and the press, theatre and music, exhibitions, institutions and architecture - were used to record, celebrate and question the development of the British Empire. It represents a significant and original contribution to our understanding of the relationship between culture and empire. Written by leading scholars from a range of disciplinary backgrounds, individual chapters bring fresh perspectives to the interpretation of media, material culture and display, and their interaction with history. Taken together, this collection suggests that the history of empire needs to be, in part at least, a history of display and of reception. This book will be essential reading for scholars and students interested in British history, the history of empire, art history and the history of museums and collecting.

        Quantitative Aspects of Ruminant Digestion and Metabolism

        by Edited by Jan Dijkstra, John M Forbes, James (Jim) France

        The first edition of this book, published in 1993, was very well received as providing a comprehensive review of the digestion and metabolism of ruminant animals. Since its publication, much new research has been conducted in the subject and knowledge has increased. This is incorporated in this second edition through the addition of five completely new chapters. These cover; the gas production technique in feed evaluation; calorimetry; the relationship between pasture characteristics and animal performance; feed processing; and the integration of data in feed evaluation systems. Other chapters have been fully expanded and updated as appropriate and Dr Dijkstra has also been enrolled as the lead editor. This book brings together quantitative approaches used in the study of mechanisms of ruminant digestion and metabolism.

        Beckett Erinnerung

        by James Knowlson, Elizabeth Knowlson, Christel Dormagen

        Beckett Erinnerung beginnt mit Gesprächen, in denen Samuel Beckett seinem Freund und Biographen James Knowlson von seiner Familie, seiner frühen Jugend und seiner Freundschaft mit James Joyce und dessen Familie berichtet. Er beschreibt seine Tätigkeit als Mitglied des französischen Widerstands in Paris, seine Flucht vor der Gestapo und sein Leben während der letzten Kriegsjahre im südfranzösischen Roussillon. Der Band versammelt des weiteren Erinnerungen an Beckett von einigen seiner engsten Freunde. Sie erinnern sich an den Schüler, den jungen Schriftsteller, dann den Autor, der in den fünfziger Jahren des vergangenen Jahrhunderts mit seinen Romanen und dem Theaterstück Warten auf Godot weltberühmt wurde. Schauspieler, die in seinen Inszenierungen auftraten, Regisseure und Beckett-Kenner schildern ihre Erlebnisse mit Autor und Werk, und eine Reihe von Schriftstellern (darunter Edward Albee, Paul Auster, J. M. Coetzee, Raymond Federman und Antoni Libera) äußert sich über Becketts Werk und über den Einfluß, den es auf ihr eigenes Schreiben gehabt hat. Beckett Erinnerung präsentiert ein facettenreiches, eindringlich persönliches Bild des gemeinhin als unzugänglich bekannten Jahrhundertgenies - zusammengesetzt aus lauter "Originaltönen". Der Band enthält zahlreiche Entdeckungen, auch für Kenner.

        Digging up stories

        Applied theatre, performance and war

        by James Thompson, Martin Hargreaves

        In 'Digging up stories', James Thompson explores the problems of theatre practice in communities affected by war and exclusion. Each chapter or 'story' is written in a lively and accessible style and draws on a range of contemporary performance theories. The chapters discuss: - participatory theatre in refugee camps - theatre workshop and stories of a massacre - traditional dance-dramas in an insurgent controlled village - 'Forum' theatre with the Mahabharata - ethical issues - the struggle to teach the author to dance 'Digging up stories' documents a range of theatre practice and includes project reports, ethnographic accounts, performance analysis and diary-style reflection. Taken from Thompson's research and practice in Sri Lanka, these diverse examples question the link between applied theatre, traditional performance and performances in everyday life. The book blurs lines between research and travel writing to create rich and provocative accounts of applying theatre in a troubled setting. ;

        Knowledge, mediation and empire

        James Tod's journeys among the Rajputs

        by Florence D'Souza, Andrew Thompson, John M. MacKenzie

        This study of the British colonial administrator James Tod (1782-1835), who spent five years in north-western India (1818-22) collecting every conceivable type of material of historical or cultural interest on the Rajputs and the Gujaratis, gives special attention to his role as a mediator of knowledge about this little-known region of the British Empire in the early nineteenth century to British and European audiences. The book aims to illustrate that British officers did not spend all their time oppressing and inferiorising the indigenous peoples under their colonial authority, but also contributed to propagating cultural and scientific information about them, and that they did not react only negatively to the various types of human difference they encountered in the field.

        Wittgenstein im Kontext der analytischen Philosophie

        by Peter M. S. Hacker, Peter M. S. Hacker, Joachim Schulte

        Von Wittgensteins Werk Philosophische Untersuchungen ausgehend, richtet Hacker den Blick zunächst zurück, um den Kontext der Entstehung dieser epochemachenden Schrift zu schildern, und anschließend nach vorn, um die Wirkung von Wittgensteins Werk zu erkünden. Der Rückblick beginnt mit der Zeit der Jahrhundertwende, den Schriften des deutschen Logikers Gottlob Frege einerseits und den Arbeiten der englischen Philosophen Bertrand Russell und G. E. Moore andererseits. Damit wird zugleich der für Wittgensteins Denken bestimmende geistesgeschichtliche Rahmen abgesteckt: die Welt der in Logik und Begriffsanalyse avanciertesten Denker der deutschen wie der britischen Kultur. Hackers vergleichende Betrachtung konzentriert sich sodann auf die Entwicklung des wissenschaftstheoretisch und logisch orientierten Wiener Kreises (Schlick, Carnap, Neurath u. a.) und der eher an erkenntnistheoretischen und psychologischen Themen interessierten Cambridge-Philosophie der Vorkriegszeit. Im Anschluß an eine darauf folgende mustergültige Darstellung der Philosophischen Untersuchungen zeichnet Hacker den Weg der neueren analytischen Philosophie nach und behandelt dabei Autoren wie Quine, Dummett und Davidson, die in der gegenwärtigen Diskussion den Ton angeben.
