The book offers a comprehensive and integrated approach to the
topic of tourism development and its contribution to the fight
against poverty. Tourism development is credited to be a powerful
source of regional development and improvement in developing
countries, and the focus of the book is on the world's poorest
areas and how tourism connects to the poor and unlocks
opportunities to escape the poverty trap. This book takes a
comprehensive and unique approach by combining a decade of research
on the effects of tourism development on poverty reduction in Latin
America. The book explores poverty and its impact on development at
the macro and micro levels. Then, it goes on to focus on tourism
development and its effects on growth, inequality, and poverty
reduction and how these dynamic relationships affect the most
vulnerable groups of society. The research also documents on how
the poor perceive tourism development on their lives and if they
see it as an important vehicle to help them escape from poverty.
Lastly, the authors map the conditions under which tourism can
reach the poor and how tourism can offer opportunities for
impoverished areas and their residents. Combining tourism dynamics,
development economics, poverty reduction, business practices, and a
sustainable perspective, the book takes a broad look at this
important issue. The book will be informative and valuable to a
higher educational audience, including academia and researchers, as
well as practitioners, policymakers, and international
organizations, and graduate students.

La letra muda, el polemico ensayo del escritor Juan Manuel Ri-vera,
pone de manifiesto el desplazamiento acelerado del espanol de los
puertorriquenos por el idioma ingles pero -descartando toda actitud
derrotista- se lanza a la busqueda de una respuesta radical que
pone de relieve la urgencia de un plan soberano de educacion,
mientras hace una defensa apasionada de la lengua y la literatura
en espanol cuyos antecedentes brillan por su escasez.

Inhaltlich unveranderte Neuauflage. Seit mehr als drei Jahrzehnten
ist Umweltpolitik in Deutschland ein Thema. Desgleichen ist es
Umweltbewusstsein." Aber wissen wir eigentlich, was das ist? Und
wenn ja, warum spielt es eine Rolle? Dieses Buch liefert keine
schnellen Antworten. In streng soziologischer Perspektive versucht
es, den Stand der Forschung zu uberblicken - und kommt dabei zu dem
Schluss, dass es zwar viele Einzelbefunde, aber nicht wirklich ein
schlussiges Konzept gibt, Umweltbewusstsein zu messen. Wie oft in
der sozialwissenschaftlichen Praxis, sind die theoretischen
Anspruche zersplittert oder ganz zuruckgefahren. Weiterfuhrende
Ansatze scheinen einzig aus der Kognitions- und
Organisationspsychologie zu kommen. Werden sie aufgegriffen, und
wird der Reprasentation von Gesellschaft als Bewusstseinsinhalt
grossere Beachtung geschenkt, stehen die Chancen fur einen Neustart
der soziologischen Umweltbewusstseinsforschung nicht schlecht. Die
Arbeit entstand als Diplomvorhaben an der FU Berlin. Sie wendet
sich dem methodischen Anspruch nach an sozialwissenschaftliche
Leser, versucht sich aber auch, soweit angemessen, an einer
Einbeziehung von Psychologie und Philosophie
