Abstract

This volume provides the first comprehensive examination of travel guidebooks and their conceptualisation, use and impact. Guidebooks have been key tourism paraphernalia for almost two centuries and although researched in some areas, academic knowledge on guidebooks in tourism has not been expansively communicated. The uncritical, unreflective and largely pejorative approach to guidebooks in the public sphere, and to some degree also present in academia, is reassessed in this book. This challenges the current limited tourism research approaches to the topic, including the routinely held assumption that the internet has all but destroyed the printed guidebook. This book will be a useful resource for postgraduate students and researchers in tourism and tourism communications and consumption.

Abstract

Kunstschätze und Kulturgut benötigen besondere Pflege, um sie möglichst lange bewahren zu können. Der Ansatz der »Präventiven Konservierung« gibt dazu alle wichtigen Informationen an die Hand. Doch wie setzt man die Theorie in der Praxis um? Kurz und knapp stellt Sabine Maurischat die unterschiedlichen Werkstoffe der Konservierung vor und vermittelt einen Eindruck zur Materialität von Kulturgütern. In Schritt-für-Schritt-Anleitungen - praxisnah und verständlich - erklärt sie, wie Objekte gehandhabt, inventarisiert, verpackt und für Ausstellungen vorbereitet werden. Dabei geht es immer um einen Kompromiss zwischen den zwei Grundpfeilern der musealen Arbeit: Bewahren und Vermitteln. »Sabine Maurischat hat einen Leitfaden geschrieben, der drei Bücher in einem enthält.« Vier Viertel Kult, Herbst 2020 Besprochen in: Newsletter Museumsverband Niedersachsen und Bremen e.V., 6 (2020)

Abstract

Wie können Menschen, die auf der Flucht vor Krieg, Verfolgung, Hunger und wirtschaftlicher Not in Deutschland ankommen, ihre Rechte auf Bildung und gesellschaftliche Teilhabe wahrnehmen? Was sind geeignete Formate der Kulturellen Bildung, um auf die Realität der Geflüchteten aufmerksam zu machen und um Vernetzung und Solidarisierung herzustellen? Die Beiträge des Bandes gehen diesen Fragen nach und zeigen: Die Kulturelle Bildung ist ein Feld, in dem viele ambitionierte Projekte mit Geflüchteten realisiert werden. Das Phänomen Flucht bietet so Möglichkeiten für eine macht- und differenzsensible Veränderung von Kultur- und Bildungsinstitutionen und eröffnet Chancen für die Revision etablierter Handlungsroutinen. »[Für] Menschen, die in Lern-Lehr-Kontexten gegenwärtig tätig sind, zu empfehlen - so auch Didaktikerinnen und Didaktiker der romanischen Sprachen.« Jens F. Heiderich, Zeitschrift für Romanische Sprachen und ihre Didaktik, 12/1 (2018) »Dem Sammelband ist eine breite Leserschaft zu wünschen, denn er schließt eine Lücke in einem gesellschaftsrelevanten Arbeitsfeld.« Ute Handwerg, Zeitschrift für Theaterpädagogik, 10 (2017) »Eine Fülle an Materialien zum Thema, die vor allem für Kunstvermittler im außerschulischen Bereich hilfreich sind, aber auch für Projekte im Kunstunterricht wertvolle Hinweise bereit stellen.« Kunst, 48 (2017) »Caroline Gritschke und Maren Ziese [liefern] zusammen mit einem beachtlichen Pool namhafter AutorInnen einen Aufschlag in Sachen ›Kulturelle Bildung und Geflüchtete‹, der für nachfolgende Publikationen Maßstäbe setzen dürfte.« Franz Kröger, Kulturpolitische Mitteilungen, 156/1 (2017) »Der Sammelband gibt einen herausragenden Einblick in verschiedene Kulturprojekte und ist für alle Kulturschaffenden zu empfehlen. Migrationssensible Konzepte und Strategien aus dem Arbeitsfeld der Kulturellen Bildung zeigen in diesem Werk, wie facettenreich Bildungsangebote sein können.« Anna Zuhr, www.socialnet.de, 06.04.2017 »Ziese und Gritschke haben einen materialreichen, anregenden Band vorgelegt, der zeigt, wie in der kulturellen Bildung Wohlwollen mit Gleichberechtigung, Konzepte mit Respekt, Handeln mit Fairness einhergehen können.« Wolfgang Berg, www.socialnet.de, 11.10.2016 Besprochen in: GMK-Newsletter, 10 (2016) Standbein Spielbein, 106 (2016) Newsletter Museumsverband Niedersachsen und Bremen, 2 (2017) Besprochen in: Erziehungswissenschaftliche Revue, 17/2 (2018), Olaf Sanders

Abstract

"You are about to play a personal part in pushing the Germans out of France. Whatever part you take-rifleman, hospital orderly, mechanic, pilot, clerk, gunner, truck driver-you will be an essential factor in a great effort." As American soldiers fanned out from their beachhead in Normandy in June of 1944 and began the liberation of France, every soldier carried that reminder in his kit. A compact trove of knowledge and reassurance, Instructions for American Servicemen in France during World War II was issued to soldiers just before they embarked for France to help the

Abstract

This engaging and easy-to-use natural history guidebook provides a thorough overview of native and honey bee biology and offers tools for identifying the most common bees of California and the Western United States. Full-color illustrations introduce readers to more than 30 genera of native bees, noting each one's needs and habits and placing them in their wider context. The author highlights bees' ties to our own lives, the food we eat, and the habitat we provide, and suggests ways to support bees in our own backyards. In addition to helping readers understand and distinguish among major groups of bees, this guide reveals how bees are an essential part of healthy ecosystem and how many plants, including important crop plants, depend on the pollination they provide. As growing evidence points to declining bee populations, this book offers critical information about the bond between plants and pollinators, and between humans and nature. Thoroughly researched and full of new insights into the ancient process of pollination, Field Guide to the Common Bees of California; Including Bees of the Western United States is invaluable for the window it opens onto the biodiversity, adaptive range, and complexity of invertebrate communities.

Abstract

Steve Heimoff takes readers on an intimate and enlightening tour of one of California's most diverse and accomplished wine areas as he travels along the Russian River and talks with growers and vintners from the Cabernet country of the Alexander Valley to the Pinot Noir producers of the Sonoma coast. This first comprehensive look at the natural history and winemaking practices of the region by one of America's most respected wine critics brings the Russian into the exalted company of the great wine rivers of the world-the Loire, the Rhône, the Rhine, the Mosel, and the Douro. Part wine guidebook, part history and geology, and part travelogue of the author's adventures in wine country, A Wine Journey along the Russian River is essential reading for wine lovers-both those fortunate enough to be familiar with the region and those who have never been there. Heimoff guides readers along the length of the scenic river, from its warm, northern border with Mendocino out to foggy Jenner. He discusses the history and progress of Alexander Valley Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon, Russian River Valley and Sonoma coast Pinot Noir, Sonoma County's Rhône-oriented wines, old-style field blends, and other interesting wines. In the process, he introduces readers to many of the growers and vintners who have made Sonoma County famous: Dick Arrowood, the Rochiolis, the Seghesios, Tom Jordon, Bob Cabral of Williams Selyem, Jess Jackson of Kendall-Jackson, Merry Edwards, and many others. Describing how the river's formation and evolution, both products of the planet's fiery tectonic past, as well as the region's complex climate, have created the potential for unparalleled viticultural enclaves, and recounting how a variety of people realized that potential, Heimoff provides a fascinating explanation of why the Russian River's reputation as a premium winegrowing region continues to grow.

Abstract

The ability to communicate in print and person is essential to the life of a successful scientist. But since writing is often secondary in scientific education and teaching, there remains a significant need for guides that teach scientists how best to convey their research to general and professional audiences. The Craft of Scientific Communication will teach science students and scientists alike how to improve the clarity, cogency, and communicative power of their words and images.In this remarkable guide, Joseph E. Harmon and Alan G. Gross have combined their many

Abstract

Gerald Asher, who served as Gourmet's wine editor for thirty years, has drawn together this selection of his essays, published in Gourmet and elsewhere, for the collective insight they give into why a wine should always be an expression of a place and a time. Guiding the reader through twenty-seven diverse wine regions in France, Italy, Spain, Germany, and California, he shows how every wine worth drinking is a reflection of its terroir-in the broadest sense of that untranslatable word. In evocative reminiscences of wines, winemakers, and the meals he has had with them, he weaves together climate, terrain, and local history, sharing his knowledge and experience so skillfully that we learn as we are entertained and come to understand, gradually, that the meaning and pleasure of a wine lie always in the context of its origin and in the concurrence of where, how, and with whom we enjoy it.
