Winter tourism has seen increased levels of investment in recent times, in an effort to reduce economic risk, address environmental concerns and adapt to the effects of global warming. New ski destinations are developing and merging with traditional ones to increase spatial distribution, while many established leading resorts are adapting their management models. Climate change adaptation processes are supported by the reduction of CO2 emissions and energy consumption in ski resorts. Current planning challenges include the increasing importance of scenic beauty, nature and sustainable development, as well as snow reliability, snow management and safety issues.
"Professor Deutsch's great study of the life and work of Franz Schubert, begun with his Documentary Biography ten years ago and continued in the Thematic Catalogue, is now completed in this collection of the many records and accounts of the composer by those who knew him, brought together by the editor's unrivalled knowledge and research, and commented upon with his impeccable scholarship. The many letters and records by Schubert's friends, acquaintances and relations; the appreciations and memoirs by the most important witnesses of his life and career; and the linking passages and commentaries on these by Professor Deutsch, illuminate afresh and more brilliantly than hitherto the life and times of this most engaging of the great musical figures. This is not only an indispensable source-book for all students of the subject, but also a work of great interest and entertainment in its field." --Dust jacket.
