Contemporary Tourist Behaviour, 2nd Edition
This fully updated edition responds to themes emerging over the decade since publication of the first edition and transmits the content into the 2020s. The themes include technological change, ethical consumption, and the tourist response to health risk, political instability and other uncertainty. Examples are introduced from all parts of the world, capturing the explosion of research on tourist behaviour, to produce a text that is strong both on theory and practical application. This is the go-to text for students and academics interested in tourist behaviour both from within the tourism field and from other fields and disciplines.
Look Up, Look Back
The English idiom picks up on virtually every corner of our life, as this third book in he series will demonstrate. In the first there were the symbols of roses, garden paths, flowers and fruit, leading to the wilder country beyond, thence rivers, bridges, sea and ocean until finally back to the home and the roof over one's head. Better than being 'between a rock and a hard place' .'Heart and Soul, when the actions of the body reveal more than one might suspect, took up all of Book 2. Here, in Book 3, there are two sections, Weather and Time:- Weather because this is perhaps the greatest talking point in Britain, and Time because we are always needing it, looking at our watches but, otherwis...

Surprising Light
Pastors with “ears to hear” learn that people live with both life-giving joy and soul-testing grief. Such gladness and sorrow are most often expressed in the tales they tell. David Bowen grew up hearing the people around him tell marvelous stories. Of course, they were not just telling but living their stories, as well. Surprising Light is a poignant literary collection describing the ways God has revealed his love and grace in both David’s personal life and through his work as a pastor. It goes to show that God uses stories to catch the ears of those willing to hear. This collection covers themes like spirituality, reconciliation, healing, forgiveness, and more. For each story, David presents a Bible Scripture, illuminated with an example of God working through ordinary circumstances and ordinary people to reveal grace, love, and mercy in unexpected ways.
English Idiom
Part 8 in this series on the English idiom concludes my attempt to arrange expressions that are linked in some way and to see how well they dance together. How far such a metaphor can be extended is up to the reader, yet my comparison is hopefully human enough. On the dance floor a large man wheeling a small lady will appear awkward and the reverse hilarious. Literary matching may also misfire. Have I learnt anything in the process? Mostly how much of our daily speech is ironical, Take,for example, what I was so often told as a child (and since!) 'You're a great help!' - meaning, in fact, the opposite? Just catch the tone of the speaker. The joke is always precariously on oneself in the colloquial if never in standard 'received English', so called:-- fine in itself but not something one can have fun with... and, oh dear, I shall be in trouble now with someone for ending my sentence with a preposition...so, for any who insist, something with which one can have fun. Get it right! Enjoy the dance.
Body of Evidence
Without sensationalism but with a generous dusting of dark forensic humour David Bowen writes of the trial-making and breaking clues he uncovered during his 40 years as one of London's key forensic pathologists. Following in the footsteps of pioneers such as Bernard Spilsbury and Keith Simpson, it was Bowen who was the first to identify the true nature of the 'chicken bones' found in Dennis Nilsen's drain after a complaint by his neighbour and it was Bowen who led the investigation into the grisly contents of the black rubbish bags found in Nilsen's home. In these extraordinary memoirs we find his take on many of the famous and challenging cases he worked on, including the tragic Railway Mur...

The Wainthropp Detective Agency is bustling. No longer the new kid on the crime-fighting block, late-blooming gumshoe Hetty Wainthropp (Patricia Routledge, Keeping Up Appearances) gets the really tough jobs that require a head and a heart. Her uncanny ability to blend in with her surroundings brings her into contact with people from all walks of life, from marauding holigans to high society brides. Even Detective Chief Inspector Adams relies on her for sensitive cases that require her special blend of tenacity and kindness. Hetty is flattered, but clearly states her limits: "No sex scandals, no divorce, no drug running, and no industrial espionage." Still, she finds plenty of excitement in these nine new cases solved with the help of her trusty young assistant, Geoffrey (Dominic Monaghan, ABC's Lost), and devoted hubby, Robert (Derek Benfield)
