travel agents, business managers, professionals, researchers,

Globalization is increasing interconnectedness and is offering
immense opportunities for businesses worldwide. Although it has
been taking place for hundreds of years, it has sped up enormously
over the last half-century, increasing international trade, greater
dependence on the global economy, and freer movement of capital,
goods, and services. While globalization can create opportunities
for wealth in emerging economies, it still cannot completely close
the gap between the world's poorest countries and the world's
richest. Many view globalization as a threat to cultural diversity,
believing that it can drown out local economies, traditions, and
languages and make travel to certain regions less desirable.

and trade.

In the wine industry, sustainability is an extremely important
issue for two main reasons: Firstly, the industry faces serious
threats as a consequence of climate change, as well as water and
energy scarcity. Secondly, proper sustainable management of
wineries can mean obtaining a competitive advantage by allowing

processes. In this sense, previous work has shown that customers
tend to select wines that have been developed following sustainable
practices, despite not knowing what this means in practice.

behavior, this premier reference source is ideal for industry

major engine of the world economy - and the realm of artificial
reefs, often inaccessible and forgotten by the public. By
stimulating both those who work and in tourism and in artificial
reefs to share experiences, transmit testimonies, make efforts, and
develop new innovative and value-creating possibilities for
society. This theme has great potential and impact. It allows
knowledge transfer between research science on artificial reefs,
companies, and the tourism sector, generating wealth for society.

academics and students who work or are interested in exploring new
ways of developing and practicing tourism, using structures that
are submerged. The use of technologies developed by Industry 4.0
may have enormous potential in facilitating the establishment of
bridges between tourism and reef structures and maximizing this
potential.

Honorable Mention, Mirra Komarovsky Book Award, given by the
Eastern Sociological Society 2021 Outstanding Academic Title,
Choice Magazine How workers navigate race, gender, and class in the
food service industry Two unequal worlds of work exist within the
upscale restaurant scene of Los Angeles. White, college-educated
servers operate in the front of the house—also known as the
public areas of the restaurant—while Latino immigrants toil in
the back of the house and out of customer view. In Front of the
House, Back of the House, Eli Revelle Yano Wilson shows us what
keeps these workers apart, exploring race, class, and gender
inequalities in the food service industry. Drawing on research at
three different high-end restaurants in Los Angeles, Wilson
highlights why these inequalities persist in the twenty-first
century, pointing to discriminatory hiring and supervisory
practices that ultimately grant educated whites access to the most
desirable positions. Additionally, he shows us how workers navigate
these inequalities under the same roof, making sense of their jobs,
their identities, and each other in a world that reinforces their
separateness. Front of the House, Back of the House takes us behind
the scenes of the food service industry, providing a window into
the unequal lives of white and Latino restaurant workers.

a multi-disciplinary approach to examining fashion change, bringing

a wide range of contemporary and historical case material which
provides practical examples of trend analysis and change, from the

of the field. Changing Fashion provides a concise guide to the main
theories across disciplines that explain how and why media,
clothing styles, and cultural practices fall in and out of fashion.
