Kulturtourismus im ländlichen Raum an "dritten Orten" der Begegnung als Chance zur Integration von Kultur- und Tourismusentwicklung
Die Bedeutung des Kulturtourismus in ländlichen Regionen nimmt seit mehreren Jahren erfreulicher Weise zu und trägt zur Belebung vieler kleiner Orte bei. Katja Drews stellt mit ihrer hier vorgelegten Studie drei kulturelle Angebote aus diesem Bereich vor und fragt danach, wie stark und in welcher Form diese Angebote sowohl von Bewohnern als auch von Touristen wahr- und angenommen werden. Sie legt dar, wie Tourismus und Kultur sich in ländlichen Regionen ergänzen und befruchten können. Zudem zeigt sie auf, wie Nachhaltigkeit im Kulturtourismus durch eine engere Zusammenarbeit von touristischem Destinationsmanagement und kultureller Entwicklungsplanung in ländlichen Gebieten gewährleistet werden könnte. Mithilfe des Konzepts der „Dritten Orte“ ermittelt sie, welche raumsoziologisch bedeutsamen Potenziale entstehen, wenn Touristen und Einheimische beim Kulturgeschehen auf dem Land zusammentreffen.

The Quilters Hall of Fame
Masterpiece quilts and Master quilters--both are honored in The Quilters Hall of Fame. The book profiles more than forty of the quilting world's most influential people--from early twentieth-century quilt designer Ruby McKim to quilt curator Jonathan Holstein to contemporary art quilter Nancy Crow. Lavishly illustrated with one hundred glorious color photographs of their quilts, plus historical photographs, ads, and pattern booklets, The Quilters Hall of Fame is essential for every quilter's bookshelf.
Blood, Sweat and Tears
The history of anatomy has been the subject of much recent scholarship. This volume shifts the focus to the many different ways in which the function of the body and its fluids were understood in pre-modern European thought. Contributors demonstrate how different academic disciplines can contribute to our understanding of ‘physiology’, and investigate the value of this category to pre-modern medicine. The book contains individual essays on the wider issues raised by ‘physiology’, and detailed case studies that explore particular aspects and individuals. It will be useful to those working on medicine and the body in pre-modern cultures, in disciplines including classics, history of me...
Pattern Design
Throughout history, patterns have come in countless permutations of motif, colour-way and scale. Yet what all have in common is the regularity of repetition, that insistent rhythm that animates a flat surface with a sense of movement and vitality and gives it depth. Evident in the arrangement of petals on a flower head, the branching growth of stems and vines, the spirals of a seashell - pattern is inherent in the natural world that surrounds us. Powerful and transformative, pattern has an irrepressible joie de vivre. With more than 1,500 illustrations of patterns from all ages and cultures, Pattern Design is a visual feast. This comprehensive compendium is arranged thematically according to type, with chapters on Flora, Fauna, Pictorial, Geometric and Abstract designs. These broad categories are supplemented by in-depth features highlighting the work of key designers from the rich history of pattern-making - such as William Morris, Sonia Delaunay, Charles and Ray Eames, Lucienne Day and Orla Kiely - along with sections detailing the characteristic motifs of key period styles from Baroque to Art Deco.
