The retail sector has undergone a major structural transformation
in the past fifteen years and one aspect has been the enormous
growth in airport retailing which now represents one of the major
methods of profit generation for the airport authorities. With this
trend set to continue, retailing will increasingly represent an
important aspect of future airport development. In European Airport
Retailing the authors set out to examine the contemporary and
future developments in airport retailing, both from a strategic and
operational perspective. Including coverage of both tax free and
duty paid retailing, the book looks at such issues as retail
marketing; location and design; supply chain relationships and
human resource issues.
Remote photography and infrared sensors are widely used in the
sampling of wildlife populations worldwide, especially for cryptic
or elusive species. Guiding the practitioner through the entire
process of using camera traps, this book is the first to compile
state-of-the-art sampling techniques for the purpose of conducting
high-quality science or effective management. Chapters on the
evaluation of equipment, field sampling designs, and data analysis
methods provide a coherent framework for making inferences about
the abundance, species richness, and occupancy of sampled animals.
The volume introduces new models that will revolutionize use of
camera data to estimate population density, such as the newly
developed spatial capture recapture models. It also includes richly
detailed case studies of camera trap work on some of the world s
most charismatic, elusive, and endangered wildlife species.
Indispensible to wildlife conservationists, ecologists, biologists,
and conservation agencies around the world, the text provides a
thorough review of the subject as well as a forecast for the use of
remote photography in natural resource conservation over the next
few decades."
The contributors to this collection come from disparate fields such
as theology, literature studies, political science, and
communication studies and are guided by a commitment to consider
what we can learn from Camus as opposed to where he was wrong or
misguided in his life and writing. If there is a place to consider
the shortcomings of a human being, especially one as unique as
Albert Camus, it will not be found within this volume. The essays
in this text are built around the theme that Albert Camus functions
as an implicit philosopher of communication with deep ethical
commitments. The title, Creating Albert Camus, is intended to have
a double meaning. First are those voices who inspired Camus and
helped create his ideas; second are those scholars working with
Camus's thoughts during and after his life who help create his
enduring legacy. Bringing together scholars who embrace an
appreciation of the philosophy of communication provide an
opportunity to further situate the work of Camus within the
communication discipline. This new project explores the
communicative implications of Camus's work.
Prescribing Health: Transcendental Meditation in Contemporary
Medical Care includes important contributions from leading experts
on Transcendental Meditation and health, and provides the reader
with the most important, cutting edge health research on the
effects of Transcendental Meditation (TM) on serious mental health
problems and medical disorders. It features practical, proven
programs to improve health outcomes, decrease morbidity/mortality,
and reduce health care costs with a wide range of patient
populations. The authors explore advances in neuroscience and the
brain changes associated with not only the impact of TM on health
recovery, but also the effects of meditation in daily activity and
permanent changes in neuropsychological functioning resulting from
the purification of consciousness through meditation. Included is
coverage of an ancient yet newly introduced approach to therapy,
Vedic Psychotherapy, and methods for integrating Transcendental
Meditation and other Vedic health approaches into primary medical
care.
Airlines are buffeted by fluctuating political and economic
landscapes, ever-changing competition, technology developments,
globalization, increasing deregulation and evolving customer
requirements. As a consequence all sectors of the air transport
industry are in a constant state of flux. The principle aim of this
book is to review current trends in the airline industry and its
related suppliers, thereby providing an insight into the forces
that are changing its dynamics. The factors that are reshaping the
structure of the industry are examined with a view to identifying
the key issues whose impact will be critical in the future. The
book features two very distinct sections. The first contains short
contributions from industry executives at CEO/VP level from
airlines, aircraft/engine manufacturers, safety and navigational
provider organisations, who have set out their take of where the
airline industry is heading. This commercial input sets the scene
for the book and provides the bridge to the second section, which
is composed of 18 chapters written by distinguished academic
authors. Each chapter presents a valuable insight into a specific
area of the air transport industry, including: airlines, airports,
cargo, deregulation, the environment, navigation, strategy,
information technology, security and tourism. The shared objective
of the authors is to describe and explain the core competencies
that are determining the current shape of the industry and to
examine the forces that will change its direction going forward.
The book is written in a management style and will appeal to all
levels of personnel who work for airlines across the world. It is
also written for airport authorities, aerospace manufacturers,
regulatory and government transportation agencies, researchers and
students of aviation management, transport studies, tourism and the
wider air transport industry.

A valuable resource for addressing/promoting the spiritual
awakening/development for patients based on a thoroughly researched
system of meditation Nearly 40% of americans saw an alternative
healthcare practitioner last year. Interest in Yoga an aspect of
ayurveda is growing nationally and is starting to become part of
more progressive treatment programs. Patients want more. Providers
need to offer more. And choices need to be based on sciencetific
research on complementary/alternative medicine, which is
under-researched in the addictions treatment field right now. Their
has been a flurry of interest in Trancendental Meditation (TM) the
past few months, mostly due to very impressive research on lowering
blood pressure especially in African Americans. This
groundbreaking, scientifically based book shows how TM can have
profound health-promoting effects on addictions as well, according
to recent research on profound brain changes caused by TM practice.
Self-Recovery acquaints readers with the use of Transcendental
Meditation program and Maharishi Ayur-Veda.This natural
comprehensive approach to health care, as brought to light from the
ancient Vedic tradition of India by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, allows
individuals to break negative habits that arise from an incomplete
understanding of the relationship between mind, body, and
environment. Self-Recovery shows how this ancient system of
mind-body medicine, through its mental and physical procedures, can
be used to treat addictive diseases effectively. The first book
written on the application of the Transcendental Meditation (TM)
program and Maharishi Ayur-Veda to addictions treatment, this
volume is interdisciplinary in scope with original chapters by
psychologists, physicians, physiologists, neurochemists, and other
addictions professionals who offer an alternative paradigm to
understanding and treating addictions. In contrast to conventional
treatments, the TM program and Maharishi Ayur-Veda appear to
provide a natural, comprehensive treatment approach that profoundly
influences all levels of individual life that can impact on the
addictive process.Not overly technical, Self-Recovery shares the
pioneering experiences of clinicians using these holistic
procedures as well as the striking findings of researchers who have
integrated them into current chemical dependency treatments. For
readers without prior introduction to this new approach, the TM
program and Maharishi Ayur-Veda are briefly but thoroughly
described. Readers looking for an effective mind-body treatment of
addictions that is holistic in nature will find it in this book as
it introduces them to this very ancient, but quite relevant, system
of healing that can act in a complementary fashion with modern
psychological and medical approaches to addictive disorders.
Practitioners will find a description of Maharishi Ayur-Veda
programs and learn about incorporating them into daily practice.
Psychotherapists will learn how this unique program can affect the
recovery process from addictive diseases. Through rich
presentations of theory, research, and clinical case studies,
Self-Recovery makes knowledge of Maharishi Ayur-Veda and the
addictions come alive.The book is divided into four sections, the
first of which contains an examination of the theoretical
underpinnings and existing research on the TM program and its
applications to addictions treatment. The second section features
original research on the impact of TM on severe alcoholism and
nicotine addiction. In section three, clinicians share case studies
on the impact of the TM program on personal growth experienced
during recovery from alcohol and other drug addictions. Section
four presents theory and clinical application of the twenty
approaches of Maharishi Ayur-Veda in chemical dependency treatment.

As master of novices for ten years (1955-1965) at the Cistercian
Abbey of Our Lady of Gethsemani in Kentucky, Thomas Merton was
responsible for the spiritual formation of young men preparing for
monastic profession. In this volume, three related sets of Merton's
conferences on ancient and contemporary documents governing the
lives of the monks are published for the first time: * on the Carta
Caritatis, or Charter of Charity, the foundational document of the
Order of Citeaux * on the Consuetudines, the twelfth-century
collection of customs and regulations of the Order * on the
twentieth-century Constitutions of the Order, the basic rules by
which Merton and his students actually lived at the time These
conferences form an essential part of the overall picture of
Cistercian monastic life that Merton provided as part of his
project of "initiation into the monastic tradition" that is evident
in the broad variety of courses that he put together and taught
over the period of his mastership. As Abbot John Eudes Bamberger,
ocso, himself a former student of Merton, notes in his preface to
this volume, "The texts presented in this present book eventually
gave rise to the Cistercian way of spiritual living that continues
to contribute to the Church's witness in this new millennium. This
publication is a witness to the process of transformation that
ensures the continuity of the Catholic monastic tradition that
witnesses to the God who, as Saint Augustine observed is 'ever old
and ever new.'"
This series is designed to meet the needs of students and lecturers
