Sustainable Tourism in the Americas
Sustainable Tourism in the Americas introduces the reader to the establishment of sustainable tourism across the region. It examines questions such as 'what is really meant by sustainable tourism?'. Covered in eight chapters, the book discusses the evolution and application of the concept in the Americas from its origins as well as documenting established success stories of sustainable tourism policy and implementation from several countries in the Americas. The country and regional case studies critically examine what sustainable tourism means in their destination and address how in practice the concept of sustainability can be built to show results across different cultural and ecological situations ranging from local indigenous sites to urban environments. It will be a valuable addition to the current lack of literature on this concept and of particular interest to those working within and studying tourism management and related themes.
Blood and Debt
What role does war play in political development? Our understanding of the rise of the nation-state is based heavily on the Western European experience of war. Challenging the dominance of this model, Blood and Debt looks at Latin America's much different experience as more relevant to politics today in regions as varied as the Balkans and sub-Saharan Africa. The book's illuminating review of the relatively peaceful history of Latin America from the late eighteenth through the early twentieth centuries reveals the lack of two critical prerequisites needed for war: a political and military culture oriented toward international violence, and the state institutional capacity to carry it out. Using innovative new data such as tax receipts, naming of streets and public monuments, and conscription records, the author carefully examines how war affected the fiscal development of the state, the creation of national identity, and claims to citizenship. Rather than building nation-states and fostering democratic citizenship, he shows, war in Latin America destroyed institutions, confirmed internal divisions, and killed many without purpose or glory.
Edible Insects
Insect protein production through ‘mini-livestock farming’ has enormous potential to reduce the level of malnutrition in critical areas across the world. It has been estimated that insect eating is practised regularly by over two billion people, mostly in China and in most tropical countries in Africa, South America, and Asia. However, eating insects has been taboo in many western nations. Reasons for this are discussed in this book with examples from Finland and the UK. The enormous boom of insect farming in Finland started in September 2017 when the business type was legalized. However, a large part of the population found the insect food too expensive and exotic. UK research outlines ...
Diccionario de cocina venezolana
El chef erudito, el aprendiz, el gourmet, el ama de casa o el simple aficionado a la buena cocina encontrarán aquí un completo diccionario que lo paseará por la inmensa geografía gastronómica de Venezuela. Influencias indígenas, colonizadoras y africanas, sumadas a las incorporaciones posteriores de la inmigración europea, formaron el crisol de sabores venezolanos que conforma hoy la cocina venezolana. Sin embargo a la cita no acudieron solo ingredientes y mezclas: también hubo un intercambio de utensilios, técnicas y artefactos que todo chef, profesional o amateur, reconoce hoy como parte de su vida culinaria. En este libro Rafael Cartay proporciona tanto los platos y bebidas típicas como las técnicas y modos de la sofisticada cocina venezolana actual, pero también transmite con maestría la esencia última de la gastronomía como una forma de arte sensorial, e incluso como una forma de amar, que se disfruta en la medida en que se comparte.

International Historical Statistics
Recent concern with economic growth has led not only to a vast increase in the quantity and quality of statistics collected and published, but also to an upsurge of interest in the statistics of the past.
