processes, this book also provides critical insights into how
theoretical concepts and frameworks are applied in tourism planning
and policy making practice at different spatial scales. The book
engages readers in the intellectual, political, moral and ethical
issues that often surround tourism policymaking and planning,
highlighting the great value of reflective learning grounded in the
social sciences and revealing the complexity of tourism planning
and policy.

"A brilliant breakthrough in pilgrimage studies. An exemplary study
that shows how to bring together different academic and
institutional interests in a common cause - understanding the
relationship between pilgrimage and English cathedrals over time. A
publication that will, hopefully, inspire similar collaborative
studies around the globe." - John Eade, Professor of Sociology and
Anthropology, University of Roehampton, UK "People who oversee,
minister, lead worship, guide, welcome, manage, market, promote and
maintain cathedrals will find this book an indispensable treasure.
It is aware of the awesome complexity inherent in cathedral life
but it doesn't duck the issues: its clear-eyed focus is on the way
people experience cathedrals and how these extraordinary holy
places can speak and connect with all the diversity represented by
the people who come to them. In a spiritually-hungry age, this book
shows us how to recognise and meet that hunger. This book will be
required reading for all us "insiders" trying to invite and
signpost access to holy ground." - The Very Reverend Adrian Dorber,
Dean of Lichfield, Chair of the Association of English Cathedrals
This book looks at England's cathedrals and their relationship with

Discover Novel and Insightful Knowledge from Data Represented as
a Graph
Practical Graph Mining with R presents a "do-it-yourself" approach
to extracting interesting patterns from graph data. It covers many
basic and advanced techniques for the identification of anomalous
or frequently recurring patterns in a graph, the discovery of
groups or clusters of nodes that share common patterns of
attributes and relationships, the extraction of patterns that
distinguish one category of graphs from another, and the use of
those patterns to predict the category of new graphs.
"
Hands-On Application of Graph Data Mining"
Each chapter in the book focuses on a graph mining task, such as
link analysis, cluster analysis, and classification. Through
applications using real data sets, the book demonstrates how
computational techniques can help solve real-world problems. The
applications covered include network intrusion detection, tumor
cell diagnostics, face recognition, predictive toxicology, mining
metabolic and protein-protein interaction networks, and community
detection in social networks.
"
Develops Intuition through Easy-to-Follow Examples and Rigorous
Mathematical Foundations"
Every algorithm and example is accompanied with R code. This allows
readers to see how the algorithmic techniques correspond to the
process of graph data analysis and to use the graph mining
techniques in practice. The text also gives a rigorous, formal
explanation of the underlying mathematics of each technique.
"
Makes Graph Mining Accessible to Various Levels of
Expertise
"Assuming no prior knowledge of mathematics or data mining, this
self-contained book is accessible to students, researchers, and
practitioners of graph data mining. It is suitable as a primary
textbook for graph mining or as a supplement to a standard data
mining course. It can also be used as a reference for researchers
in computer, information, and computational science as well as a
handy guide for data analytics practitioners.
In celebration of the 2021 visit to the University of Notre Dame by
Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, as well as the thirtieth
anniversary of his election, this groundbreaking volume gathers
together and introduces eleven important joint statements from the
patriarch, addressing diverse topics from climate change to
ecumenical dialogue. As the spiritual leader of 300 million
Orthodox Christians worldwide, His All-Holiness Bartholomew,
Orthodox Archbishop of Constantinople-New Rome and Ecumenical
Patriarch, has long been a beacon for strengthening inter-religious
and inter-faith dialogues on the world stage. This volume assembles
eleven joint statements initiated by the ecumenical patriarch with
prominent global Christian leaders, including Pope Francis, Pope
Benedict XVI, Pope St. John Paul II, Archbishop of Canterbury
Justin Welby, and Archbishop Ieronymos II. It also includes
Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew's address at Notre Dame upon
receiving an honorary doctorate. The statements address a wide
array of pressing issues, including human rights, the environment,
support of migrants, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the relationship
between the Orthodox and Roman Catholic churches, frequently
referred to as "sister churches." The book contains a foreword by
John I. Jenkins, C.S.C., president of the University of Notre Dame,
and an introduction by John Chryssavgis, which provides an overview
of the ecumenical patriarch's long ministry and powerful vision,
illustrating his significance both within the Orthodox world as
well as on the world stage. Beyond its testimony to the patriarch's
longstanding commitment to interreligious and inter-Christian
dialogue, this collection of joint statements has the added benefit
of gathering these all-important texts into one convenient place
for the first time.

Most tourism activities take place at a destination, and
destination serves as a fundamental unit of analysis in any
modelling of the tourism system. However, destination marketing and
management is a complex subject that requires a comprehensive,
holistic and systematic approach. From the demand side, travellers
have a choice of available destinations; from the supply side,
destination marketing organizations are competing for attention
from a highly competitive marketplace. Taking an integrated and
comprehensive approach, this book focuses on both the macro and
micro aspects of destination marketing and management. Some key
areas covered include the consumer decision making process, product
development and distribution and the use of emerging technologies
in destination marketing.

This book looks at the life, activities and achievements of
William, 1st Baron Sandys, Knight of the Garter. It is the story of
a Hampshire man who, during the reigns of Henry VII and Henry VIII,
achieved prominence from a relatively modest but well-connected
position. He was very close to the centres of power throughout most
of his life and was inevitably involved in the political and
religious issues of the time. His relationships with Henry VIII,
Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Cardinal Wolsey, Thomas Cromwell
and senior courtiers are discussed. Evidence is presented that
suggests that Sandys played a role in the downfall of Anne Boleyn.
From the time he fought in the battle of Stoke in 1487, where he
was knighted by Henry VII, to his death, Sandys was regarded as an
outstanding soldier and was feared and respected by his French
opponents. He rose from Treasurer of War in the 1512 Spanish
campaign and Treasurer of Calais between 1517 and 1526 to become,
for the last fourteen years of his life, Chamberlain to Henry VIII.
In the 1520s he built himself the Vyne mansion, which has been
described as a palace and was visited by Henry VIII and Elizabeth I
on multiple occasions. He also extended the Holy Ghost Chapel in
Basingstoke and converted Mottisfont priory to another mansion. All
were furnished to the highest standards and taste using English and
Flemish craftsmen.
