        Die verzauberte Stunde

        by Meghan Cox Gurdon

        Wir wussten es schon immer: Lesen macht glücklich und schlau. Und in Zeiten ständiger Berieselung und Ablenkung ist ein Buch eine sichere Bastion, in die man sich retten kann, wenn die Welt zu laut wird. Doch es gibt etwas, was noch schöner ist als Lesen: Vorlesen. Was sich in uns alles abspielt, wenn wir uns gemeinsam auf dem Sofa über ein Buch beugen, einer Geschichte lauschen und Bilder gucken, beschreibt die Journalistin und fünffache Mutter Meghan Cox Gurdon. Sie beleuchtet soziale, psychologische und neurologische Aspekte des Vorlesens und zeigt, wie dabei unter anderem die Bindung gestärkt, die Sprachentwicklung gefördert und das Vorstellungsvermögen bereichert wird – und dass es deshalb besonders für Kinder elementar ist. Meghan Cox Gurdon erklärt, warum Vorlesen die Synapsen feuern lässt, wie es das Fernsehen niemals kann. Warum es nicht nur Kinder glücklich macht. Und warum es einfach viel schöner ist, als alleine zu lesen.

        Tourism Behaviour

        Travellers' Decisions and Actions

        by Edited by Roger StG March, Arch G Woodside

        Consumers' planned behaviour is often very different to what is actually carried out. Consumer plans can relate to four behaviours: planned and done (deliberate strategies), planned and not done (unrealized strategies), unplanned and done (emergent strategies) and unplanned and not done (unused strategies). This book examines alternative theories and the empirical testing of how planning relates to doing. It considers tourist spending, length of stay, attractions, destinations, accommodation and activities and looks at how marketing strategies affect consumer plans.
