Ethical and Responsible Tourism explains the methods and practices used to manage the environmental impact of tourism on local communities and destinations. This new edition takes into account recent global events such as the Covid-19 health crisis, the impacts of the war in Ukraine on tourism in neighbouring regions and the consequences of the energy and cost of living crisis. The three core themes of the book – destination management, environmental and social aspects of ethical sustainable development and business impacts – are discussed across both topic and case study chapters, alongside explanatory editorial analysis with all chapters clearly signposted and interlinked. The case stu...
This book displays the striking creativity and profound insight that characterized Freire's work to the very end of his life-an uplifting and provocative exploration not only for educators, but also for all that learn and live.
Digital and online learning is more prevalent than ever, making multimedia learning a primary objective for many instructors. The Cambridge Handbook of Multimedia Learning examines cutting-edge research to guide creative teaching methods in online classrooms and training. Recognized as the field's major reference work, this research-based handbook helps define and shape this area of study. This third edition provides the latest progress report from the world's leading multimedia researchers, with forty-six chapters on how to help people learn from words and pictures, particularly in computer-based environments. The chapters demonstrate what works best and establishes optimized practices. It systematically examines well-researched principles of effective multimedia instruction and pinpoints exactly why certain practices succeed by isolating the boundary conditions. The volume is founded upon research findings in learning theory, giving it an informed perspective in explaining precisely how effective teaching practices achieve their goals or fail to engage.

O ecossistema midiático contemporâneo traz desafios que superam os espaços midiáticos, chegando à sociedade em si e suas dinâmicas organizacionais. Cada vez mais seres-meio (Gillmor, 2005) - tema do 6º Congresso Internacional Media Ecology and Image Studies -, os cidadãos precisam se educar midiaticamente. Neste contexto, devem ser considerados não somente a formação técnica, mas também a preocupação ética e a noção do que é ou não verdade. Isso tem feito com que processos democráticos, que evoluíram nos últimos séculos para promover a paz e a harmonia entre as pessoas, fossem afetados. E esse problema não se limita a sociedades consideradas subdesenvolvidas ou em desenvolvimento. Países que se autodefinem desenvolvidos, como os pertencentes à União Europeia e os Estados Unidos, caem frequentemente nos contos das “verdades” midiáticas, que frequentemente distanciam-se radicalmente da verdade.
Maysa é tema dessa biografia escrita pelo jornalista Lira Neto a partir de pesquisas em arquivos familiares, de entrevistas com cerca de 200 pessoas (parentes, amigos, ex-namorados, ex-maridos, músicos, produtores) e, sobretudo, com base no acesso irrestrito ao diário íntimo de Maysa. O resultado é um retrato cheio de nuances de uma cantora que não apenas se tornou um ícone da vida boêmia, mas foi ela mesma uma cronista da vida noturna, escrevendo as letras de muitas de suas canções - num trânsito incessante entre as figuras da musa e da poeta. 'Maysa - Só numa multidão de amores' percorre todas as etapas (e traumas) de uma trajetória marcada por amores, viagens, conflitos com ...
In every psychic experience, even in the production of a work of art, there exists a nucleus that is impossible to transform. It resists any and every action against itself. We are used to dealing with these irreducible and radical othernesses by adapting them to our own way of knowing and our experience. In reality, they make up the ugly material of our living and, hence, of our humanity. We can, however, transform them in some way, without altering their substance, but rather organizing them in different configurations, which generate new forms. Psychoanalysis can aid in this difficult and risky process, providing resilient equipment, much like a sophisticated spacesuit, allowing one to tr...
This book delves into human-induced and natural impacts on coastal wetlands, intended or otherwise, through a series of vignettes that elucidate the environmental insults and efforts at amelioration and remediation. The alteration, and subsequent restoration, of wetland habitats remain key issues among coastal scientists. These topics are introduced through case studies and pilot programs that are designed to better understand the best practices of trying to save what is left of these fragile ecosystems. Local approaches, as well as national and international efforts to restore the functionality of marsh systems are summarily approached and evaluated by their efficacy in producing resilient ...
Understanding Minimalism is a state-of-the-art introduction to the Minimalist Program the current model of syntactic theory within generative linguistics. Accessibly written, it presents the basic principles and techniques of the minimalist program, looking firstly at analyses within Government and Binding Theory (the Minimalist Program s predecessor), and gradually introducing minimalist alternatives. Minimalist models of grammar are presented in a step-by-step fashion, and the ways in which they contrast with GB analyses are clearly explained. Spanning a decade of minimalist thinking, this textbook will enable students to develop a feel for the sorts of questions and problems that minimalism invites, and to master the techniques of minimalist analysis. Over 100 exercises are provided, encouraging them to put these new skills into practice. Understanding Minimalism will be an invaluable text for intermediate and advanced students of syntactic theory, and will set a solid foundation for further study and research within Chomsky s minimalist framework.
