Building upon the book Disappearing Destinations (Jones and
Phillips 2010) and its conclusion that promoted the need to
recognize problems, meet expectations and manage solutions Global
Climate Change and Coastal Tourism explores current threats to, and
consequences of, climate change on existing tourism coastal
destinations. Part 1 of the book provides a theoretical platform
and addresses topics such as sustainability, tourism impacts,
governance trade and innovation and how the media addresses climate
change and tourism. It also assesses management and policy options
for the future sustainability of threatened tourism coastal
destinations. Part 2 presents case studies from all regions of the
world (Europe, The Americas, Asia, Africa and Australasia) which
synthesise findings to make recommendations that can be used to
promote strategies that ameliorate projected impacts of climate
change on coastal tourism infrastructure and in turn promote the
future sustainability of coastal tourism destinations. This is a
timely and informative text with appeal to researchers,
undergraduate and post graduate students of tourism management,
tourism planning, sustainable tourism development and leisure
management, coastal tourism/management, environmental
management/planning, geography, coastal zone management or climate
change studies.
Fernando Pessoa claimed to be inhabited by thousands of
philosophies, all of which he intended to develop in his unfinished
project of English-language Philosophical Essays. The resulting
fragments were never published by Pessoa himself and almost the
entirety of them are presented in this edition for the very first
time in history. This volume exhibits Pessoa s musings and wild
insights on the history of philosophy, the failures of
subjectivity, and the structure of the universe to reveal an
unexpectedly scholarly, facetious, and vigorous theoretical mind.
Written under the pre-heteronyms of Charles Robert Anon and
Alexander Search, these texts constitute the foundation for the
fabrication of Pessoa s future heteronyms. They are the testimony
of a writer who referred to himself as a poet animated by
philosophy. Through editor Nuno Ribeiro s careful critical efforts,
a new and fundamental facet of the work of one of modernity s most
seminal geniuses has now been brought to light in a remarkably
reliable and clear fashion.
This is the third volume of the series Reinventing Social
Emancipation: Towards New Manifestoes. Another Knowledge Is
Possible explores the struggles against moral and cultural
imperialism and neoliberal globalization that have taken place over
the past few decades, and the alternatives that have emerged in
countries throughout the developing world from Brazil and Colombia,
to India, South Africa and Mozambique. In particular it looks at
the issue of biodiversity, the confrontation between scientific and
non-scientific knowledges, and the increasing difficulty
experienced by great numbers of people in accessing information and
scientific-technological knowledge.
