Cross-Border Tourism in Protected Areas
This book discusses how tourism between neighboring countries like Poland and Germany is hindered despite the Schengen Treaty. Taking protected areas in north-eastern Germany and north-western Poland as exemplary cases, it analyses the phenomenon of socio-economic and cultural barriers for cross-border tourism. It also presents the results of a representative online survey in both countries, and discusses socio-economic and geographical research on border areas, nature tourism in protected areas, national stereotypes and prejudices. As one of the very few source market studies on protected area tourism, it is relevant for scholars and practitioners (protected area managers, tourism professionals) alike providing them with insights into the implications for future research and tourism practice.
Global assessment of recent UNESCO Biosphere Reserve quality enhancement strategies and interlinkages with other UNESCO labels
The Seville Strategy spurred a signifi cant paradigm shift in UNESCO's MAB Programme, re-conceptualising the research programme as a modern tool for the dual mandate of nature conservation and sustainable development. However, many biosphere reserves failed to comply with the new regulations and in 2013 the 'Exit Strategy' was announced to improve the quality of the global network. This study presents a global assessment of the implementation of the quality enhancement strategies, highlighting signifi cant differences worldwide through 20 country-specifi c case studies. It concludes that the strategies have been fundamental in improving the credibility and coherence of the MAB Programme. Challenges in the implementation were not unique to individual countries but were common to all Member States with pre-Seville sites, and in many states the process has led to a rejuvenation of national biosphere reserve networks.
The Reception of English Puritan Literature in Germany
This is the first study to demonstrate the impact of Puritan literature on the development of German language and literature in the seventeenth century and beyond. It crosses the boundaries of theology, literature, and the English and German traditions to show that eighteenth-century secular thinking on introspection, psychology and subjectivity has its roots in vocabulary used in Germany as early as 1665 through the translation of figures such as Daniel Dyke and Richard Baxter. The book concludes with insights on John Bunyan, whose works inspired writers of the Geniegeneration such as Lenz, Wieland, Moritz and Jung Stilling.
The Reformation and Rural Society
What was the effect of the Reformation movement on the parishioners of the German countryside? This book examines the reform movement at the level of its implementation - the rural parish. Investigation of the Reformation and the sixteenth-century parish reveals the strength of tradition and custom in village life and how this parish culture obstructed and frustrated the efforts of the Lutheran reformers. The Reformation was not passively adopted by the rural inhabitants. On the contrary, the parishioners manipulated the reform movement to serve their own ends. Parish documentation reveals that the system of parish rule diffused the disciplinary aims of the church and rendered the pastors impotent. A look at parish beliefs suggests that the nature of parish thought worked to undermine the main tenets of the Lutheran faith, and that the legacy of the Reformation was a dialogue between these two realms of experience.
Natur- und Ökotourismus im Nationalpark Berchtesgaden
Nationalparke haben ein Doppelmandat bzw. eine doppelte Funktion: Zum einen sollen sie Räume für Natur- und Artenschutz bieten, zum anderen aber auch für Erholung, Umweltbildung und Tourismus, um so zur Stärkung der Regionalökonomie beizutragen. Gleichzeitig sind in Schutzgebieten Touristen anzutreffen, die sich bezüglich ihrer Reisemotive und Aktivitäten unterscheiden. Das vorrangige Ziel dieser Arbeit ist die erstmalige empirische Anwendung der von Arnegger, Woltering und Job (2010) entwickelten Product-based Typology for Nature-based Tourism, die einen zweidimensionalen Analyserahmen zur Systematisierung von Besuchersegmenten und Tourismusprodukten bietet. Zur empirischen Anwendung...
Incombustible Lutheran Books in Early Modern Germany
This book discusses the early modern engagement with books that survived intentional or accidental fire in Lutheran Germany. From the 1620s until the middle of the eighteenth century, unburnt books became an attraction for princes, publishers, clergymen, and some laymen. To cope with an event that seemed counter-intuitive and possibly supernatural, contemporaries preserved these books, narrated their survival, and discussed their significance. This book demonstrates how early modern Europeans, no longer bound to traditional medieval religion, yet not accustomed to modern scientific ways of thinking, engaged with a natural phenomenon that was not uncommon and yet seemed to defy common sense.
Tourismus und nachhaltige Regionalentwicklung in deutschen Biosphärenreservaten
Das vorliegende Buch behandelt aus zwei unterschiedlichen Perspektiven die Frage, inwieweit Tourismus zu einer nachhaltigen Regionalentwicklung in den deutschen Biosphärenreservaten, die als Schutzgebiete und Modellregionen eine nachhaltige Entwicklung verwirklichen sollen, beiträgt. Basierend auf einer touristischen Typisierung werden sechs der aktuell 17 deutschen Biosphärenreservate - Pfälzerwald, Rhön, Schaalsee, Spreewald, Südost-Rügen, Vessertal-Thüringer Wald - genauer betrachtet. Eine touristische Wertschöpfungsanalyse zeigt die Nachfrage und dadurch ausgelöste regionalökonomische Effekte in den Gebieten auf. Weiterhin wird untersucht, inwieweit die Biosphärenreservats-Verwaltungen die touristische Entwicklung der Destination im Sinne der nachhaltigen Regionalentwicklung, z.B. durch strategische Planung, Akquirierung von Fördermitteln oder die Entwicklung touristischer Angebote, mitgestalten. Im Rahmen der Studie können dazu Erfolgsfaktoren abgeleitet werden, die im Hinblick auf den noch ausbaufähigen Beitrag des Tourismus zu einer nachhaltigen Regionalentwicklung in Biosphärenreservaten im Sinne tangibler und intangibler Effekte Relevanz besitzen.
The Shaping of America
A critique of American ideas. The first half of the book deals with how America became the nation that it is; the second half suggests how it could become the nation that it should be. "Every Christian interested in the welfare of his or her country should read this excellent volume." (Robert G. Clouse, Department of History, Indiana State University)
