View Rights PortalDie in diesem Band enthaltenen Texte »sind das Ergebnis jahrelanger Forschungen mehrerer unabhängig voneinander arbeitenden Teams, denen Psychoanalytiker, klinische Psychiater, Lerntheoretiker und Kulturanthropologen angehört haben. Einige beschäftigen sich mehr mit Kommunikationsstilen (Bateson, Wynne), andere mehr mit der Familie als sozialem System (Lidz), andere wieder mit der Motivation pathogenen Elternverhaltens (Searles, Bowen, Vogel). Immer sind aber alle drei Aspekte, wenngleich mit verschiedenem Schwergewicht, miteinander verbunden. Das Kernstück des Buches ist die Batesonsche Lehre vom sogenannten ›double-bind‹ als Schizophrenie produzierendem Kommunikationsstil, was sich am ehesten mit ›Beziehungsfalle‹ oder ›Zwickmühlensituation‹ übersetzen läßt«.

Special interest tourism is growing rapidly due to a discerning and heterogeneous travel market and the demand for more focused activity or interest-based tourism experiences. This book approaches the topic from the perspective of both supply and demand, and addresses the complexities now inherent in this area of tourism. It presents a contextualised overview of contemporary academic research, concepts, principles and industry-based practice insights, and also considers the future of special interest tourism in light of the emergence of ethical consumerism. With a clear, user-friendly structure, the book: -Links theoretical frameworks to clear practical applications. -Reviews key emerging issues for tourism relating to families and faith, the performing arts, active and passive pursuits, therapeutic leisure and travelling. -Includes contributions and case studies from international academics and practitioners to give a truly global overview. Sometimes referred to as niche or contemporary tourism, this book provides a complete introduction to the study of special interest tourism for students.
This book presents the research output of the Dutch project VTB-Pro, an internationally-oriented project that aimed at providing primary school teachers with the knowledge, abilities and attitudes that are necessary to implement science and technology education in their classes. An introductory chapter by Wynne Harlen and Pierre Lena positions this project in the international context. From the Foreword by Dr. Michel Rocard: I have been pleased to discover the VTB-Pro three?years project carried in the Netherlands (Broadening technological education in primary school). Focusing on professional development of teachers and presenting first hand testimonies and research, the present book demonstrates how to deal with this issue, so critical for a renewed pedagogy. With proper methods, the knowledge of science, the interest in science and technology, the pedagogical skills can all be improved among teachers who often have no or little affection for science.
No fear was her new motto. But she never expected to be targeted for murder. Indiana housewife Wynne Seally is determined to put her life back together after her husband leaves her for a younger woman. Traveling alone to Aruba and learning to scuba dive seem like big steps in that direction. However, Wynne plunges in over her head when an underwater discovery turns out to be a clue in a high-profile murder case. With the help of handsome insurance investigator Ronan Gale, she soon finds herself embroiled in unraveling clues that could set an accused man free . . . or get her killed.
