        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.

        Samuel Beckett

        Eine Biographie

        by James Knowlson, Wolfgang Held, James Knowlson

        Als Samuel Beckett, einer der innovativsten und einflußreichsten Autoren des 20.Jahrhunderts, 1989 starb, war er weltberühmt. Spät – erst mit der Pariser Uraufführung von En attendant Godot 1953 – richteten sich die Scheinwerfer auf den öffentlichkeitsscheuen Autor.Beckett, 1906 geboren, studierte in Dublin und in Paris, wo er sich James Joyce anschloß. Ein erster Band mit Erzählungen erschien 1934. Drei Jahre später verließ er Irland für immer und zog nach Paris, aus dem ihn die deutsche Besatzung vorübergehend vertrieb. Verlage wagten sich an seine Bücher kaum heran – bis der Erfolg des Godot diesen und den materiellen Schwierigkeiten ein Ende bereitete. Jedoch um sein Schreiben, um eine Verfassung, die ihm das Schreiben überhaupt erlaubte, hat Beckett ein Leben lang gerungen.James Knowlson, der das Beckett-Archiv in Reading aufbaute, hat Becketts Werk mehr als dreißig Jahre erforscht. Mehr als zwanzig war er mit dem Autor befreundet. Ein halbes Jahr vor seinem Tod autorisierte Beckett Knowlsons Biographieprojekt: Er »ist der, der mein Werk am besten kennt«. Auch zu Becketts Leben förderte Knowlson viel Unbekanntes ans Licht. So erhielt er als erster Zugang zu den aufregenden Tagebüchern von Becketts Deutschlandreise 1936/37. Mit seinen umfassenden Kenntnissen kann er zeigen, wie auch Becketts spätere Werke, die biographische Anspielungen eher vermeiden, in Leben und Denken des Autors verwurzelt sind.Fünf Jahre nach der englischen Erstveröffentlichung erscheint James Knowlsons große, definitive Biographie Samuel Becketts im Suhrkamp Verlag, der das Werk des irischen Nobelpreisträgers seit einem halben Jahrhundert deutsch in vielen (oft zwei- und dreisprachigen) Ausgaben

        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.

        Voting for a Scottish government

        The Scottish Parliament election of 2007

        by Robert Johns, David Denver, James Mitchell, Charles Pattie

        In 2007 Labour lost an election in Scotland for the first time in half a century and the SNP went on to form the Scottish Government. This book explains why. Based on a unique three-wave survey of the Scottish electorate, it can truly be described as the first full-scale Scottish national election study. As such, it is notable not only for its innovative methodology but also because theories and concepts are taken from the recent electoral studies literature and applied to Scotland. Other questions investigated include the impact of campaigning and of the party leaders (at both Scottish and British level) on the election outcome. In addition, for the first time in the UK context, a special study is made of the causes and consequences of rejected ballots - the large number of which at this election caused a media outcry. This book will be required reading for anyone interested in, involved in, teaching or studying Scottish politics. It will also be an important text for those concerned with UK politics in general and attract particular interest among students of elections, both in the UK and internationally. ;
