March 2012Der Sommer der toten Puppen
Ein Barcelona-Krimi
by Antonio Hill, Thomas Brovot
Hochsommer in Barcelona, ein scheinbar harmloser Unfalltod führt zu einer blutigen Spurensuche quer durch die Stadt. Der umstrittene Inspektor Héctor Salgado ermittelt in einer angesehenen Familie, in der niemand sagt, was er weiß. Hectór Salgado steckt in der Klemme. Als Argentinier fühlt er sich fremd im Land, sein Privatleben ist eine einzige Katastrophe, gegen ihn laufen interne Ermittlungen, weil er einen afrikanischen Mädchenhändler krankenhausreif geprügelt hat. Umso erfreulicher, dass sein neuer Fall so einfach scheint. Er soll den mutmaßlichen Unfalltod eines Jugendlichen aus bestem Hause untersuchen. Doch je tiefer er in der Familiengeschichte des Verstorbenen gräbt, desto verstörender sind seine Entdeckungen, die bis weit in die Vergangenheit reichen. Als dann ein weiterer Unfall geschieht, gerät Salgado selbst unter Mordverdacht

December 2015Tote Liebe
Kriminalroman
by Antonio Hill, Thomas Brovot
Der Abschluss der Barcelona-Trilogie rund um Inspektor Héctor Salgado Ein Paar, das sich zwischen vertrockneten Blüten in den Armen liegt – nackt und mit eingeschlagenen Schädeln. Daneben ein Rucksack voller Geld … Das ist es, was Inspektor Héctor Salgado zu Gesicht bekommt, als er in das verlassene Haus am Stadtrand von Barcelona gerufen wird. Die Opfer gelten seit sieben Jahren als vermisst, wie vom Erdboden verschluckt, seitdem ihre Ménage-à-trois mit einem Freund in die Brüche ging. Schlug der sie einfach tot? Aus Eifersucht, aus Wut? Salgado macht ihn in der geschlossenen Psychiatrie ausfindig – ein Wrack, vollgepumpt mit Medikamenten –, doch trotzdem ist nach dem Verhör eines ganz sicher: Nicht nur er hatte damals guten Grund auszurasten. Vater, Bandkollege, Jugendfreundin, sie alle wurden von den Opfern bitter enttäuscht …

December 2013Der einzige Ausweg
Ein Barcelona-Krimi
by Antonio Hill, Thomas Brovot
Eine junge Frau wird von der U-Bahn erfasst, und Inspektor Salgado muss raus in die kalte Nacht von Barcelona: War es Selbstmord? Aber was bedeutet dann das einzige Foto auf ihrem Handy: die steifen Körper von drei erhängten Hunden? Salgado macht sich an die Arbeit, auf seine eigene kompromisslose Art, die ihn in der Vergangenheit schon mehr gekostet hat, als ihm lieb sein kann. Er spricht mit den Kollegen des Opfers bei einem Kosmetikhersteller, doch ihre Chefin begegnet ihm ausweichend, und die jungen Kollegen kriegen kein gerades Wort heraus. Niemandem in dieser Firma ist zu trauen, und dann erfährt Salgado von einer weiteren Tragödie: Ein anderer Mitarbeiter hat sich eine Kugel in den Kopf gejagt – nachdem er seine Frau und seine kleine Tochter regelrecht hingerichtet hatte …

Business, Economics & LawDecember 2016Tourism Theory
Concepts, Models and Systems
by Guilherme Lohmann, Alexandre Panosso Netto
Theories within tourism can be difficult, even confusing areas to understand. Developed from the successful Portuguese textbook Teoria do Turismo, Tourism Theory provides clear and thorough coverage of all aspects of tourism theory for students and researchers of tourism. Consisting of five sections and over fifty entries, this book covers nine of the most important models in tourism study. The first three sections examine general concepts in tourism; disciplines and topics; and the tourist, which includes areas such as demand, gaze, psychology and typologies. A fourth section covers intermediation, distribution and travel, reviewing aspects such as travel agencies, tourist flows and multi-destination travel patterns. The final section encapsulates the tourism destination itself, covering organizations, the destination image, supply, seasonality and more. Encyclopedic cross-referencing between entries makes navigation easy, while in-depth analysis, exercises and further reading suggestions for each of the selected areas provide the context and detail needed for understanding. Entries can be used individually as a reference, or as part of the whole for a complete introduction to tourism theory. ; Developed from the successful Portuguese textbook Teoria do Turismo, Tourism Theory provides clear and thorough coverage of all aspects of tourism theory for students and researchers of tourism.

Sport & leisure industriesSeptember 1998Strategic Planning Systems in Hospitality and Tourism
by Edited by Luiz Moutinho
Managers practice in a constantly changing environment, creating the need for effective strategic planning. However, to date the importance of strategic planning to hospitality and tourism has not been the subject of detailed empirical academic research. This book fills that gap. It contains the latest research which integrates theory with practice, including two new diagnostic tools developed by the authors, the Strategic Planning Index (SPI) and Marketing Planning Index (MPI). The tourism and hospitality industry is examined from a strategic perspective, including case illustrations and detailed studies of two major hotel groups, along with the relevance of the strategic planning process. The book goes on to describe strategic planning systems, at both the corporate and business unit level. International examples are used to demonstrate how these concepts and techniques can be incorporated into the design and implementation of effective strategic planning systems, in order to improve performance in hospitality and tourism organisations. This book is essential reading for senior undergraduate and postgraduate students, researchers, practitioners and consultants in management and business studies, hospitality and tourism.

Humanities & Social SciencesJune 2022Beef, Bible and bullets
Brazil in the age of Bolsonaro
by Richard Lapper, Leighton Pugh
Backed by Brazil's wealthy agribusiness groups, a growing evangelical movement, and an emboldened military and police force, Jair Bolsonaro took office in 2019. Driven by the former army captain's brand of controversial, aggressive rhetoric, the divisive presidential campaign saw fake news and misinformation shared with Bolsonaro's tens of millions of social media followers. Bolsonaro promised simple solutions to Brazil's rising violent crime, falling living standards and widespread corruption, but what has emerged is Latin America's most right-wing president since the military dictatorships of the 1970s. Famous for his racist, homophobic and sexist beliefs and his disregard for human rights, the so-called 'Trump of the Tropics' has established a reputation based on his polemical, sensationalist statements. Written by a journalist with decades of experience in the field, Beef, Bible and bullets is a compelling account of the origins of Brazil's unique brand of right-wing populism. Lapper offers the first major assessment of the Bolsonaro government and the growing tensions between extremist and moderate conservatives.
