Tourism in Western Europe: A Collection of Case Histories - Original PDF
نویسندگان: R. Voase خلاصه: The last twenty years has seen a proliferation of the term 'tourist destination'. Improbable places, such as industrial cities and isolated rural environments have become legitimate places to visit. At the same time, traditional tourist destinations such as coastal resorts have declined in popularity. There is a shift from 'old' to 'new' tourism. These case histories examine these issues.The book is divided into three sections, dealing with political, economic and sociocultural reasons for change.
Quality Tourism Experiences - Original PDF
Quality Tourism Experiences - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Gayle Jennings, Norma Nickerson خلاصه: The theme of the edited book acknowledges the multiple meanings of quality tourism experiences, the diverse contexts in which tourism occurs, and the varied stakeholders associated directly or indirectly with the phenomenon of tourism."Quality tourism experiences" is a widely used phrase in tourism and tourism-related texts and is associated with a diversity of meanings and usage. Meanings are ascribed by industry/business, government agencies, tourists, community and academics. The phrase is used to argue, for example, for positive social impacts, economic benefits, environmental protection, government policy formulation, discrimination between tourism products as well as issues associated with sustainability. Subsequently, the phrase "quality tourism experiences" is not a nomothetic term but rather one associated with multiple interpretations and meanings. The book"s overarching tenet is that "quality" is a socially constructed term (as are the terms tourism experiences). Authors investigate the role of the mass media, the role of travel providers, the role of host communities, the role of tourists, and the role of "government" at all its levels. From an academic perspective, quality tourism experiences are associated with interaction between host and guest (tourists and community perspectives), the classification of type of tourism product (tourism industry and government sector perspectives), market differentiation and development, tourist perspectives, the notion of an integrated system and benefits from an economic perspective.Similarly, quality is associated with different meanings and is used in a variety of contexts within tourism literature. For example quality is associated with service quality, quality assurance/auditing and control, perceptions of quality at an individual/business/community level, that is, stakeholder level, and in regard to product and market differentiation. The book draws together writers from different backgrounds and interdisciplinary interests and research methodologies, as a consequence, the book provides a model of the way researchers can work together to illuminate an area and to provide multiple representations and interpretations of that area. Moreover the book demonstrates interdisciplinary, transdisciplinary and intradisciplinary approaches and collaborations.Kathleen Andereck, Ph.D., Arizona State University WestSue Beeton, Ph.D., La Trobe UniversityHeather E.

Advances in Tourism Economics: New Developments - Original PDF
Advances in Tourism Economics: New Developments - Original PDF
نویسندگان: lvaro Matias, Peter Nijkamp, Manuela Sarmento (auth.), Álvaro Matias, Peter Nijkamp, Manuela Sarmento (eds.) خلاصه: 'Advances in Tourism Economics' follows his predecessor 'Advances in Modern Tourism Research' (2007) in providing a thorough assessment of state-of-the-art economic research in this rapidly developing field. The authors start by analyzing the recent upsurge of model-based economic research in the field, which builds on powerful tools in quantitative economics, such as discrete choice models, social accounting matrices, data envelopment analyses, impact assessment models or partial computable equilibrium models including environmental externalities. The volume originates from this novel research spirit in the area and aims to offer an attractive collection of operational research tools and approaches. It forms an appealing record of modern tourism economics and positions the field within the strong tradition of quantitative economic research, with due attention for both the demand and supply side of the tourism sector, including technological and logistic advances.

Laboratory Handbook on Bovine Mastitis, 3rd Edition - PDF
Laboratory Handbook on Bovine Mastitis, 3rd Edition - PDF
نویسندگان: Pamela R. F. Adkins (Author), John R. Middleton (Editor), Lawrence Kenneth Fox (Editor), Gina Pighetti (Editor), Christina Petersson-Wolfe (Editor), National Mastitis Council (U.S.) خلاصه: The National Mastitis Council (NMC) released its third edition of the Laboratory Handbook on Bovine Mastitis. A 148-page book for laboratory diagnosticians, veterinarians, educators, students, researchers, technical specialists and dairy producers, it discusses the basic theories of microbial culture, mastitis diagnosis and pathogens, laboratory procedures and molecular pathogen diagnosis methods. Previous editions were published in 1987 and 1999. The new Chapter 4 addresses molecular techniques. These techniques are the most recent development in pathogen diagnosis and are becoming more accurate in identifying causative organisms by genus and species, as well as strain type. Mycoplasmas are now discussed in their own chapter – Chapter 8 – instead of with miscellaneous organisms. And, the new Chapter 12 covers on-farm culture systems. Users of the previous edition will find the current book’s format similar to the second edition. Microbial culture remains the backbone of mastitis diagnosis. Consequently, microbial culture methods are discussed and have been updated when appropriate. The book addresses the advantages and disadvantages of various techniques in terms of accuracy, specificity and sensitivity of detection, cost and turnaround time.

THE VETERINARY LABORATORY AND FIELD MANUAL 3rd EDITION - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Susan C. Cork and Roy W. Halliwell خلاصه: As with the two preceding editions, this third edition of the Veterinary Laboratory and Field Manual is a book made to be used. Dr Susan Cork and her contributing colleagues, have drawn on their extensive experience in training, laboratory diagnostics and field development activities to produce a practical, informative and accessible guide to the organization and operation of district and regional level diagnostic laboratories. Since the original publication of this book, the need for expanded veterinary diagnostic laboratory networks that extend into rural areas, has continued to grow. The ever increasing demand for animal protein and the concomitant increase in livestock populations, the emergence of new diseases and re-emergence of existing diseases, the expanded movement and trade of livestock, the increased contact of livestock and humans with wild animal species due to habitat incursions, and the growing risk of intentional disease introduction through bioterrorism, all underscore the need for improved disease surveillance and rapid diagnosis – efforts that require wellfunctioning district and regional laboratories as part of a national laboratory network. Early detection and early response are the fundamental elements of effective disease control and the ready availability of reliable basic laboratory services are essential in this regard. The new edition maintains the wellorganized structure of past editions, starting with the most useful Part 1: Laboratory and equipment. Chapter 1 focuses on setting up and using a laboratory service. This is followed by the practical and informative Chapter 2 on the selection, use and maintenance of laboratory equipment and supplies. Then, in Part II, in six subsequent chapters, the key diagnostic laboratory disciplines are addressed, including parasitology, microbiology, haematology, serology/immunology, clinical chemistry/toxicology, and pathology/cytology, each including the general underlying scientific principles, discussions of common diseases and procedures for sample collection and conduct of diagnostic tests. Part III then focuses on special topics including epidemiology, surveillance, common clinical presentations, wildlife health monitoring and disease surveillance, antimicrobial resistance, and arthropod vectors and related diseases. The book concludes with a range of appendices, which feature a review of common zoonotic diseases. At various locations throughout the text, Dr Cork and colleagues have updated existing content and added some new topics. Among the new subjects considered are: training, information management and the value of laboratory networks; hazard assessment and risk management; audits for quality assurance; the benefits and limitations of penside tests; assessing diagnostic sensitivity and specificity for field tests; the applications, implementation and limitations of new technologies; and a chapter on the OIE’s core missions in relation to laboratories Foreword working in the veterinary domain, contributed by the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE). The OIE is pleased to be associated with this new edition of the Veterinary Laboratory and Field Manual. The OIE’s core strategic objectives, including risk management through transboundary disease control and international standard setting for the safe trade in animals and animal products, maintaining the global reporting system for animal diseases, and strengthening of national veterinary services, are all underpinned by the capacity and performance of national networks of veterinary diagnostic laboratories and the animal health investigation systems that deliver them quality samples. This newly revised manual can make an important contribution to ensuring the capacity and performance of those networks and therefore deserves a wide readership.
