        Winter Tourism

        Trends and Challenges

        by Ulrike Pröbstl-Haider, Harold Richins, Stefan Türk

        Winter tourism has seen increased levels of investment in recent times as new ski destinations develop and traditional skiing destinations merge to reduce economic risks by means of spatial distribution. Increasingly environmental issues in many established ski resorts, including certifications and adaptions of the management regime, and new mobility concepts to reduce CO2 emissions caused by the travel behavior of the winter tourists, are growing areas of consideration. This includes the importance of scenic beauty, nature and sustainable development as well as snow reliability and avalanche safety. Finally skiers themselves and their preferences (destination choice), need to be considered as part of demographic change and changing leisure time habits, in particular considering the Chinese market and its impact in the future. The book will explore these trends and discuss the different approaches and adaption strategies that are employed in the European Alpine region, North America, and Eastern Europe.

        Der Mann und das Holz Ausmalbuch

        Ein Buch zum Aus- und Weitermalen für Erwachsene

        by Lars Mytting

        »Ein Holzstapel ist eine solide Angelegenheit. Man kann ihn nicht an der Börse verlieren. Er rostet nicht und er reicht auch nicht die Scheidung ein. Er steht einfach nur da und wartet auf den Winter, das ist alles. Ein Kapitalkonto, das einen an die Arbeit erinnert, die man investiert hat.« Das schreibt Lars Mytting in seinem Buch Der Mann und das Holz, das in Deutschland inzwischen fast 100.000 mal, weltweit eine halbe Million mal verkauft wurde. Fällen, Hacken und Feuermachen ist zum neuen Volkssport geworden. Der Ausflug in den Wald zum lustvollen Ereignis. Nun können wir alle – Männer wie Frauen – ganz gemütlich einen solchen Ausflug mit den Buntstiften in der Hand auch zu Hause unternehmen, uns malerisch mit dem Wald, der Kälte, den Holzfällern und ihren Werkzeugen, dem Holzstapel, dem Ofen und dem Feuer beschäftigen, kreativ unsere eigene Holzlandschaft entwerfen. Und dabei viel lernen und viel erleben. Legen wir los!

        One Year: Winter

        by Yuan Cimei

        There are 4 volumes in the series, one volume per quarter and each volume containing six short stories. From the perspective of children, they can experience the beauty of spring, summer, autumn, harvest, winter collection, seasonal scenery, and thousands of ecological beauty. This volume is "Winter". This volume tells that winter was finally arrived and it is soon the time when Nini's parents would pick her up. However, Nini, who has gradually become accustomed to rural life, began to truly fall in love with the four distinct seasons of the countryside. With the arrival of “Dahan”, the last big cold solar term in the twenty-four solar terms, she reluctantly returned to her home in the city with her parents. The charm of nature and the taste of agriculture that countryside life revealed to her has become her eternal precious wealth.

        The reign of Richard II

        From minority to tyranny 1377–97

        by Alison McHardy

        The long-awaited prequel to Chronicles of the revolution covers the first twenty years (1377-97) of Richard II's reign. This richly-documented period offers exceptional opportunities and challenges to students, and the editor has selected material from a wide range of sources: well-known English chronicles, foreign chronicles and legal, administrative and financial records. These are arranged chronologically to form a coherent narrative of the reign. Clear and lively commentary and notes enable readers to make the fullest use of each document. The introduction describes the complex domestic and international situation which confronted the young king and offers guidance on the strengths and weaknesses of the reign's leading chronicles. The dramatic and diverse politics of the reign of Richard II make this the ideal special subject and an accessible, affordable, student-friendly documentary history of Richard II's reign has long been needed. This book is designed to fill that gap.

        Tiefer Winter

        Geschichten von der Weihnacht und vom Schneien

        by Robert Walser, Margit Gigerl, Livia Knüsel, Reto Sorg

        Robert Walser liebte den Winter und den Schnee. Seine Poesie ist glitzernde Kälte, Flockentanz und tiefes, weiches Bett. Das Schneiden ist bei ihm mächtig wie die Liebe, denn es verwandelt die Welt. Darin mischen sich kindliches Staunen und Todessehnsucht, malerischer Blick und bürgerliche Welt. Und Landschäftchen kommen ebenso zum Zug wie Weihnachtsglocken.

        Winter

        by Rainer Maria Rilke, Thilo von Pape, Thilo von Pape

        »Die Winterstürme durchdringen die Welt mit wütender Macht. Da sinkt auf schneeigen Schwingen die tannenduftende Nacht …« Für Rainer Maria Rilke ist der Winter die Zeit des Fragens und der Erinnerung, aber auch eine Zeit der Besinnung und des Abschieds. In Gedichten, Briefen und Texten sinniert Rilke über die ruhende Natur und die Stille der Welt und wie kein anderer vermag er es, mit seinen Worten zu trösten und zu kräftigen: »Aber die Winter! Oh diese heimliche Einkehr der Erde.«

        Mörderischer Winter

        Die spannendsten Kriminalgeschichten für kalte Tage

        by Carolin Bunk, Hans Sarkowicz

        Wenn es die Temperaturen fallen und die Nächte länger werden, wird es gefährlich, dann blüht das Verbrechen. Da gehen Morde leichter von der Hand als in brütender Hitze. Für Krimiautoren ist der Winter die ergiebigste Jahreszeit. Denn hinter jedem gemütlich erleuchteten Fenster können familiäre Dramen, blutige Konkurrenzkämpfe und tödliche Irrtümer lauern. Draußen sieht es nicht anders aus. Die frostige Natur bietet keinen Schutz. Sie scheint sich im Winter mit dem Bösen verbündet zu haben. Wehe, wenn es im Krimi schneit… Mit Texten von Henning Mankell, Val McDermid, Tatjana Kruse, Viktor Arnar Ingólfsson u. v. a.

        Winter

        by Hermann Hesse, Ulrike Anders

        »Es gibt in der weiten Welt nichts Unsichtbareres, Edleres und Schöneres als die Hochgebirgssonne im Winter. Von Schnee und Eis und Stein zurückgeworfen, spielt Licht und Wärme schwelgerisch in den unbeschreiblich durchsichtigen winterklaren Lüften – ein Licht und ein Strahlen feiner, zarter, trockener Wärme, von dem das Tiefland auch in den glänzendsten Tagen keine Ahnung hat.« Die Schönheit des kristallklaren Winters hat Hermann Hesse in einer Vielzahl an Gedichten und Gedanken festgehalten, die von der Stille einer Schneelandschaft und der Sonnenluft im Februar erzählen.

        by Clara Paul

        Wo sind sie geblieben: All die schönen Winter? Die Tage mit kälteklirrender Sonnenluft und flaumleichten Flockentanz, wenn der glitzernde Schnee unter den Schuhen knirscht und eine weißverzauberte Welt sich vor einem auftut? Diese Tage des Glücks gibt es noch und wird es immer geben, denn die Erinnerung an sie ist aufbewahrt in den hier versammelten Geschichten über Winterfreuden und Schneevergnügen, über kristallklare Frosttage und tannenduftende Nächte ‒ und über all das, was am Winter schön war und schön ist.
