To survive in today’s complex economies, it is imperative for companies to understand their consumers in terms of how and why they like to use their products. Distinction based on quality no longer provides competitive advantage.

This book explains the background of the need for experiences and then focusses on how to design them. Bringing theory into practice for students of tourism marketing, event planning and business, it provides a window into the creative world of Imagineering.

Plant Nutrition - From Genetic Engineering to Field Practice, the 12th International Colloquium on Plant Nutrition, is the latest in a series which began in 1954. Early meetings were mainly concerned with the practical problems of soil fertility, with soil assessment, fertilizer requirements and methods of analysis. As the colloquia have progressed, the emphasis has slowly changed.

The meetings therefore provide a valuable opportunity for e...

Traversing 2,500 years of global history, Ulbe Bosma shows how sugar, once a luxury reserved for Eastern emperors, stoked a mania in the West, transforming diets and ecosystems, destroying and creating cultures, and shaping the history of bondage and freedom. A major source of calories only since 1900, sugar has suddenly revolutionized our world.
Deteriorating water quality in Europe led to the introduction of the EU Water Framework Directive, one of the most comprehensive EU directives formulated to date. The Directive replaces the previous fragmentary collection of directives and management strategies for water and facilitates integrated policy. An overarching perspective on Europe's water resources will lead the way to the ultimate goal: to create and maintain good water status and sustainable water use. This overarching perspective permeates the new water administrations, which are based on catchment area. The countries of Europe have been divided into water districts, each managed by a separate water authority. The role of the w...
