Book Description

There is a complex relationship between the environment and the development of tourism, which this book discusses in a thorough and informative manner. Specialists from several disciplines pay attention to the challenges of sustainable tourism, devoting their full attention to cultural, regional and policy issues. This is a revised edition that has been expanded to 22 contributions, with inclusion of the cultural element. All chapters have been updated to include new data and information added to the existing body of literature in the last 7 years. It includes new developments and new insights into the relationship between tourism and the environment. An invaluable sequel to the first edition.

Book Description

The dramatic implosions of the centrally administered, non-democratic political systems in central and eastern Europe in the late 1980s have generated a body of research concerning the transition from public ownership, and the role of the market and other institutions in engendering good incentives for economic actors. The essays collected in this volume study property relations, their associated incentives and the consequent effects on welfare: the ubiquitous theme is that efficiency cannot be divorced from the distribution of productive assets.

Book Description

This book brings together recent work analysing the labour market behaviour of agents, particularly with regard to unemployment, job search, and labour supply. It considers the economic and demographic factors involved, and in particular the responsiveness of labour market behaviour to changes in these factors. There has been considerable recent progress in the design of appropriate econometric techniques and models with which to confront labour market theories with available data. The contributions to this volume represent important extensions or applications by some of the foremost researchers in the field, provide tests of the available theories, and draw the consequent conclusions for policy. Subjects covered include unemployment, the duration of unemployment, the effects of insurance, benefits and taxation, youth unemployment, models of labour supply, and female participation. The contributors come from the USA, Canada, UK, France, Sweden, and Denmark.

my thoughts and mine alone........2007-08-12

poor work...hard to believe he's actually successful at this. again, this is one of his early productions.

Best advice you will ever receive.......2007-05-14

Dr. Wayne Dyer's advice and counseling have saved me on many occasion.
If you really listen to him, you will learn how to think and respond in a different, more happier way. He is simply the best mentor I could ever ask for.

Good start to inner peace........2006-08-30

I enjoyed listening the author concerning this topic. It was initially hard to understand the authors concept of showing love and forgiving that it will come back to you with interest. The audio cd seemed to be meshed together from live and personnel interviews. At first the cd seemed non-consistent although as you listen understand better the concept and content the break in the cds were ignored. The authored repeats himself on many occasions as I think it is to emphasize his ideas in different contexts.
The last cd it the most insightful although you need to listen to the first 3 cds to understand what the author is talking about. Although if you get an understanding of inner peace then you need to listen to the last 2 cds over and over again. It really helps an individual understand the need of forgiveness and inner peace.
Enjoy the audio!

Sound advice, tacky production.......2006-04-25

I deeply appreciate Wayne Dyer's way of looking at life and I am sure that I'm healthier because of his insights. I was, however, very disappointed by the production quality of this CD set. It seems like someone casually spliced together segments from various talks and interviews, paying no attention to sound quality and only modest attention to the overall flow of the production. To make matters worse, my set had 2 copies of CD #2 and none of #3. :-( I liked other Wayne Dyer books much better than this one.

Helpful and Inspiring.......2006-03-04

I found this book to be inspiring and most helpful. I would recommend it to anyone no matter what stage in life they are going through. Dyer says it so well...It is your life and your choice and it's up to you to make the most of it!

Shiatsu is Japanese for "finger pressure," but this book takes this acupressure art beyond the usual to a higher, more rapturous level. Shiatsu expert Shizuko Yamamoto shows how to incorporate foot and toe pressure to give your partner a deeper massage that makes the body's ki, or life force, flow even more freely. The result, says Yamamoto, is "renewed energy combined with relaxation." She explains that by using the feet in addition to the hands, the shiatsu practitioner can maintain better posture and breathe more deeply, allowing for a longer massage before fatigue sets in.

Yamamoto covers the ancient philosophy behind shiatsu, the origins of disease, the ways in which a macrobiotic diet enhances health, and the importance of breath work. Then comes instruction in tapping, kneading, shaking, rubbing, and stretching--the basic techniques of shiatsu. With clear illustrations and photos on almost every page, it's simple to get going. The self-diagnosis chapter, with sections on flexibility, symptoms of yin and yang deficiency and excess, and fingernail and foot diagnosis, is truly fascinating. (Who knew, for example, that mustard compresses placed on the arch of the foot can help alleviate tonsil problems and sore throats?) For anyone who's interested in giving or receiving a thorough, mind-blowing massage, this book is not to be missed.

(Avery Publishing Group) Explains the basics of shiatsu in easy-to-understand language. Includes a step-by-step guide to understanding and using this natural art of healing. Discusses diet, exercise, meditation, and self-reliance. Halftone illustrations. For consumers. Softcover.

Too much.......2006-11-04

It's probably my own fault but this book is a bit over my head. I just wanted a book to identify birds I might see in my area of NH or New England and this book has lots of birds I am sure I will never come close to seeing! If you are a serious birder and are on the lookout for rare birds stopping by during migration you would like this book, but many of them don't live in New England at all. I guess thats why the title has the word "of" underlined. Now I know. Descriptions are thorough and each bird gets it's own entire page full of information and the birds description sometimes helps more than the picture as some of the pictures are just not that good. There is a little box on each page that lists "similar birds" which helps in identification, but I just wish the pictures were more clear.

flawless guide to New England's feathered friends.......2003-08-08

There are approximately 920 species of birds known to visit North America, and 302 of them are documented visitors to New England. All 302 are covered here, as well as 179 occasional species. This compact yet comprehensive book begins with 28 pages of introduction, including instructions on using the book, identifying birds and field technique.

Profiles are one page per species, and the quantity and quality of the information on each page is spectacular. Each entry contains the family and species name; the length,wingspan and weight of a typical specimen; plumage, habitat and migration information; and descriptive paragraphs about the species' song, behavior, breeding, nesting, population and conservation as well as a distribution map (with migratory information); and pictorial depictions of the species' flight pattern and nest identification. Also included is a scaled silhouette and at least one color photograph. (More pictures are included if the male/female/adolescents/seasonal plumage differ in appearance.) There are blank spaces to note the date, time and location of a sighting. After these 302 entries, smaller entries describe each of 179 bird species that are considered vagrant or casual visitors to the region, and contain the name, a color picture, a distribution map and the average length of that specimen. Entries are organized taxonomically, beginning with birds that do NOT perch and sing, and continuing with those that DO. The book concludes with a glossary (though nowhere does it define 'altricial' -- meaning born helpless, a word used frequently in the entries), a good index, and acknowledgments, including picture credits.

Not a field guide, this is a systematic COMPLETE record of bird-sightings in Massachusetts. It is pretty dry, but has information that can interest even a casual bird-watcher (when were Ethiopian Cattle Egrets first recognized in the U.S.?) Since it shows maps of every breeding pair seen of a given species, it can answer pretty definitively whether you are seeing a Black- Chinned Hummingbird or not.

Book Description

Birding Western Massachusetts features over 26 great birding locations in Western Massachusetts. Every site has been chosen either for diversity and volume of bird life, or for its unique and rare birds. All sites are easily accessible and open to the public year-round. Whether you are an avid birder looking for specific birds, or a casual nature enthusiast with an interest in seeing different kinds of birds, this guide will provide you with everything you need to make every birding experience a success.

Author Robert tougias presents a "habitat" approach to birding, showing how to use the awareness of habitat to find birds. With mountains, meadows, rivers, and reservoirs, a wide variety of habitats exists in western Massachusetts--from sub-alpine conditions to pitch pine scrubland. Within each habitat, a unique set of birds can be found. And what a variety! There are over 100 different birds nesting in western Massachusetts, and as many as 300 different birds are recorded annually through the seasons. Few people realize the ideal situation of such a large variety of birds, together with a large number of easily accessible places in which to view them. It is a winning combination for every birder at every level to enjoy. This guide allows you to seize this opportunity in an easy, userfriendly way.

Birding Western Massachusetts is written in a readable style that motivates the reader and helps ensure a productive birding day afield. It describes precise locations and seasons where rare and abundant species may be found. By carefully selecting the sites, you have the opportunity to see everything from eagles to songbirds to rare owls, shorebirds, and waterfowl. Also revealed are the best sites and times for viewing the numerous southern and northern species that migrate regularly through this region. The challenge of finding and identifying birds is made easier with trail maps, site directions, illustrations (by the author), information on bird identification and birding techniques, as well as the unique Quick Locator Reference, enabling you to quickly find the best sites for any bird. This guide will soon make better birders out of each reader.
