Examine the reasons for the rapid growth of China's tourism
industry Tourism and Hotel Development in China: From Political to
Economic Success is a comprehensive guide to the development of the
tourism industry in Mainland China following the end of the
Cultural Revolution. Conceived as a textbook but equally valuable
as a professional resource for consultants, researchers, and
tourist organizations, this insightful book tracks the unique
circumstances that sparked the growth of China's tourism and hotel
industry from a political, diplomatic activity to a burgeoning
economic industry. The book includes background information on
geography, culture, history, politics, and economics, and examines
the evolution of tourism policies, inbound vs. outbound travel,
hotel operations and trends, and the Chinese government's role in
developing tourism. China may be a latecomer to international
tourism development, but visitors have made it one of the world's
top 10 travel destinations every year since 1994. Since historic
policy shifts in 1978 opened China's doors to the outside world,
inbound tourism has played a significant role in building a
national economy. And the increase in disposable income among
China's citizens has helped create a sizable market for domestic
and outbound tourism as well. Tourism and Hotel Development in
China looks at the major factors and characteristics of each type
of tourism, international hotel development trends and their
influence on China's hotel industry, related human resources
issues, travel services, the development of hotel chains in China,
compensation and incentive management, and the future of China's
tourism and hotel industry. Topics examined in Tourism and Hotel
Development in China include: travel and tourism, pre-and post-1949
the Asia market the intercontinental market international tourism
in different regions of China popular urban tourist destinations in
China approved outbound destinations outbound travel to Hong Kong
challenges facing travel services local protectionism travel
agencies hotel franchising foreign vs. local hotel chains
outsourcing and much more! Tourism and Hotel Development in China:
From Political to Economic Success follows the journey of China's
tourism industry from a public relations vehicle, restricted by the
economy and controlled by the government, to an important source of
commerce for a country whose national economy was nearly on the
verge of collapse.

Featuring current resources used to discover new legume family
genes and to understand genes and their interactions, Legume
Genomics: Methods and Protocols provides techniques from expert
researchers to study these plants that are so vitally important for
food, feed, human nutrition, bioenergy, and industrial purposes.
This detailed volume covers genome characterization and analysis,
transcriptome analysis and miRNA identification/analysis, forward
and reverse genetics, molecular markers, as well as transformation
strategies used to investigate gene function and many other topics.
Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology
series format, chapters include introductions to their respective
topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents,
step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips
on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and
useful, Legume Genomics: Methods and Protocols aims to serve plant
molecular biologists, molecular breeders, plant physiologists and
biochemists, developmental biologists, and those interested in
plant-microbe interactions.
Molecular Cell Biology of the Growth and Differentiation of Plant
Cells encompasses cell division, cell enlargement and
differentiation; which is the cellular basis of plant growth and
development. Understanding these developmental processes is
fundamental for improving plant growth and the production of
special plant products, as well as contributing to biological
understanding. The dynamics of cells and cellular organelles are
considered in the context of growth and differentiation, made
possible particularly by advances in molecular genetics and the
visualization of organelles using molecular probes. There is now a
much clearer understanding of these basic plant processes of cell
division, cell enlargement and differentiation. Each chapter
provides a current and conceptual view in the context of the cell
cycle (6 chapters), cell enlargement (5 chapters) or cell
differentiation (9 chapters). The book provides state of the art
knowledge (and open questions) set out in a framework that provides
a long term reference point. The book is targeted at plant cell
biologists, molecular biologists, plant physiologists and
biochemists, developmental biologists and those interested in plant
growth and development. The book is suitable for those already in
the field, plant scientists entering the field and graduate
students.

As the semiconductor industry attempts to increase the number of
functions that will fit into the smallest space on a chip, it
becomes increasingly important for new technologies to keep apace
with these demands. Photomask technology is one of the key areas to
achieving this goal. Although brief overviews of photomask
technology exist in the literature, the Handbook of Photomask
Manufacturing Technology is the first in-depth, comprehensive
treatment of existing and emerging photomask technologies
available. The Handbook of Photomask Manufacturing Technology
features contributions from 40 internationally prominent authors
from industry, academia, government, national labs, and consortia.
These authors discuss conventional masks and their supporting
technologies, as well as next-generation, non-optical technologies
such as extreme ultraviolet, electron projection, ion projection,
and x-ray lithography. The book begins with an overview of the
history of photomask development. It then demonstrates the steps
involved in designing, producing, testing, inspecting, and
repairing photomasks, following the sequences observed in actual
production. The text also includes sections on materials used as
well as modeling and simulation. Continued refinements in the
photomask-making process have ushered in the sub-wavelength era in
nanolithography. This invaluable handbook synthesizes these
refinements and provides the tools and possibilities necessary to
reach the next generation of microfabrication technologies.

A revealing look at why men cheat, by two reformed cheaters-one a
faithful business mogul and the other a celebrity addicted to
infidelity. Relationship expert and former cheater Maxwell Billieon
uncovers the hidden truth about unfaithful men and why
deceitfulness is causing the demise of the human family as he
teaches women everything they need to know about men who take
advantage of their emotions. Ray J's very public relationships made
front-page headlines worldwide. He exposes his secret devious past
as he learns how not to cheat through the principles that Maxwell
Billieon has used to help countless men stop cheating. There are
"Six Virtues of the New Man," and Death of the Cheating Man reveals
them all in a groundbreaking, entertaining and informative way.
"Cured" is truly a story about the power of forgiveness. In 1962
in Choctaw County, Alabama, Carl Ray an 18-year-old black man was
questioned by an older white man; but when responding, he failed to
address the man as "sir" as was then customary when speaking to
white men. The man severely beat him for being disrespectful. Still
enraged, the man later showed up at Ray's home, and shot his father
eight times on his front porch steps; murdered him in cold blood as
the terrified youth looked on helplessly. During the farce of a
murder trial that followed, the white man's lawyers blamed Ray for
causing his own father's death because he had failed to be
respectful. The man was charged with second degree manslaughter.
However, he never served a day in prison for the murder.
Ray was burdened with the guilt of causing his father's murder;
his life would never be the same. In 1984, he was released from his
self made prison of guilt when he forgave his father's murderer.
Ray attributes the act of forgiving the man to have been his own
life saver.
Hundley teaches believers to experience God's revelation to fight
spiritual battles, so that nothing remains hidden and hinders them
later. Readers will gain insight on demonic schemes, eliminate
confusion, receive God's anointing, and more. (Christian Religion)
The University, a 13th century medieval educational construct
initially developed in France, Italy, and England, but later
exported to virtually every part of the globe, has from its
inception possessed an integrated international character. The
University is still widely regarded as an inherently
'international' institution, drawing together both faculty and
students from all parts of the world to gather at a single location
to carry on the university's mission of learning and research. This
book examines the impact of web-based e-learning on university
internationalisation.
The volume provides a detailed catalogue of 127 stelae (many
funerary) deriving from the Nile Valley, now part of the Egyptian
collection in the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge. The stelae are
written in various scripts – Egyptian hieroglyphic, hieratic and
demotic, Carian, Greek, Coptic and early Arabic – and cover a
date-range of over 4000 years. Few museums have published their
complete holdings of such material, and the carefully described and
translated information from these stelae throws a flood of light on
the history, religion, funerary customs, art and iconography, daily
life and administrative systems of ancient Egypt and Nubia. Each
entry has a photograph of the stela as well as a meticulous
line-drawing which enables the texts and iconography to be
understood and interpreted. Full museological details such as
material, precise measurements, provenance (where known), mode of
acquisition and dating are provided. The volume will interest
specialists as well as a wider public concerned with Egyptology.
