Re-Centering Women in Tourism: Anti-Colonial Feminist Studies
addresses tourism as simultaneously empowering women and
reproducing colonial hierarchies. Placing a unique and long overdue
theoretical frame around tourism, this volume contributes to
conversations on the engagement of women in tourism by centering
women’s multivalent lived experiences—as hosts, liaisons,
vendors, performers, producers, and consumers—in tourism
projects. Examining eco-tourism, craft production, and food tourism
initiatives, the contributors embrace the building of new knowledge
and advocate for change. By centering women and their experiences
through epistemological lenses that encompass colonial histories
and economics, this collection reframes the very presuppositions on
which tourism initiatives are based and helps imagine sustainable
and regenerative alternatives.
This book examines President Reagan's and his administration's
efforts to mobilize public and congressional support for seven of
the president's controversial foreign policy initiatives. Each
chapter deals with a distinct foreign policy issue, but they each
is related in one way or another to alleged threats to U.S.
national security interests by the Soviet Union and its allies.
When taken together these case studies clearly illustrate the
book's larger thrust: a challenge to the conventional wisdom that
Reagan was the indisputable "Great Communicator." This book
contests the accepted wisdom that Reagan was an exemplary and
highly effective practitioner of the going public model of
presidential communication and leadership, that the bargaining
model was relatively unimportant during his administration, and
that the so-called public diplomacy regime was a high-value
addition to the administration's public communication assets. The
author employs an analytical approach to the historical record,
draws on several academic disciplines and grounds his arguments in
extensive archival and empirical research. The book concludes that
the public communication efforts of the Reagan administration in
the field of foreign policy were neither exceptionally skillful nor
notably successful, that the public diplomacy regime had more
negative than positive impact, that the going public model had
minimal utility in the president's efforts to sell his foreign
policy initiatives, and that the executive bargaining model played
a central role in Reagan's governing strategy and essentially
defined his presidential leadership role in the area of foreign
policy making. This study vividly demonstrates the enormous gap
between the real-word Reagan and the one that often exists in
public mythology.

The 2012 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program was
supposed to be a stepping stone, a policy innovation announced by
the White House designed to put pressure on Congress for a broader,
lasting set of legislative changes. Those changes never
materialized, and the people who hoped to benefit from them have
been forced to navigate a tense and contradictory policy landscape
ever since, haunted by these unfulfilled promises. Legal Phantoms
tells their story. After Congress failed to pass a comprehensive
immigration bill in 2013, President Obama pivoted in 2014 to
supplementing DACA with a deferred action program (known as DAPA)
for the parents of citizens and lawful permanent residents and a
DACA expansion (DACA+) in 2014. But challenges from Republican-led
states prevented even these programs from going into effect.
Interviews with would-be applicants, immigrant-rights advocates,
and government officials reveal how such failed immigration-reform
efforts continue to affect not only those who had hoped to benefit,
but their families, communities, and the country in which they have
made an uneasy home. Out of the ashes of these lost dreams, though,
people find their own paths forward through uncharted legal
territory with creativity and resistance.

STRUCTURE OF THE VOLUME AND TERMINOLOGY USED This book contains
scientific descriptions of 63 localities (Figure A) of at least
national importance for Quaternary geology, geomorphology and
environmental change in South-West England. These sites were
selected by the Geological Conservation Review and are accordingly
designated 'GCR' sites. Chapter 1 provides an introduction to the
Quaternary. Chapter 2 synthesizes the geomorphological development
and Quaternary history of the region, and outlines the principles
involved in site selection. The individual GCR site descriptions
form the core of the book. In the following chapters, sites are
arranged and described in broad geographic areas and by research
topic. This is necessitated by the widely disparate nature of the
field evidence in Soutb West England: sites demonstrating the full
range of Quaternary and geomorphological features are not evenly
and conveniently dispersed throughout the region, and some areas
have significant gaps. Neither do the individual chapters contain
sites that neces sarily equate with particular site selection
networks. Rather, the chosen chapter headings provide the least
repetitive means of describing the sites and background material.
Where possible, a chronological approach, from oldest to youngest,
has been used to describe sites within a given chapter. Again, this
approach is not always possi ble, and a group of sites may show
variations on landform or Stratigraphie evidence broadly within one
major time interval or chronostratigraphic stage; inevitably there
are many overlaps."
Since the discovery some 15 years ago of benzodiazepine modulatory
sites associated with GABA A receptors, great effort has gone into
understanding their molecular pharmacology and into developing new
anxiolytic drugs that interact selectively with them. Prominent in
this research has beenthe discovery that ~-carbolines, a different
chemical class from benzodiazepines, also act at these receptors
but that their effects are sometimes quite different from those of
the benzodiazepines.This book documents the latest discoveries in
the molecular biology of the GABA A receptor and reveals how an
integration of the results of research inmolecular biology,
synthetic chemistry, biochemical and behavioral pharmacology, and
clinical pharmacology has paved the way forthe development of
~-carbolines from substances inducing anxiety and convulsions to a
novel therapy for anxiety states, achieving a behavioral
selectivity through selective actions at subtypes of receptors.
"Why You Are Acting That Way in Your Love Relationship" is a love
psychology book written by N. Stephen. The Author derived a new
philosophy, and expressed a pyschological state of love, the
nature, and existence of love relationship in a different view. For
you as a being, it exposes the two strong factors responsible for
your temperament (i.e. quality of mind) over the way you behave,
reciprocate and response in your love life and relationship. These
two strong factors are in one hand "the state of your conscious and
subconscious mind" and in the other hand, a popular economic
concept called 'marginal utility'. The purpose of the book is to
reveal the forces behind your love relationship, and as well let
you know why you are acting that way in your love relationship and
life. It is a counseling book for love relationship, and a guide to
build and manage ones love life and relationship. It is
expressively on the notion of "whys, answers, and reasons," and it
may expose your love relationship strengths and weaknesses.
