The Theory and Criticism of Virtual Texts

An Annotated Bibliography, 1988-1999

Virtual texts have emerged within the realm of the Internet as the predominant mode of global communication. But despite the pervasiveness of the Internet in nearly all aspects of contemporary life, no single resource has cataloged the ways in which numerous disciplines have investigated and critiqued virtual texts. This bibliography provides more than 1500 annotated entries for books, articles, dissertations, and electronic resources on virtual texts published between 1988 and 1999. It explores such topics as the history and development of virtual communication, visualization studies, discourse studies, information design, computer-mediated communication and education, and privacy and intellectual property issues. Entries are arranged alphabetically within topical chapters, and extensive indexes facilitate easy access.

Strategic Management for Tourism Communities

Bridging the Gaps

Tourism, with its wide-ranging impact, needs to be managed effectively – but how? This book advocates taking a business approach to tourism that encourages greater collaboration between stakeholders in the practical assessment of tourism options. The approach places key business management functions and stakeholders at the forefront of tourism initiatives. The business management functions of planning, organising, leadership and control are the filters through which tourism opportunities are viewed, while the stakeholder groups of customers, residents, industry and government set the agenda for appropriate tourism development. Tourist destinations must engage in realistic assessments of their abilities to meet the needs and expectations of tourism stakeholders and then act on these assessments so their goals and objectives can be achieved. A new model for bridging stakeholder gaps is presented as a template for how communities can understand and make the most of their tourism resources. The Bridging Tourism Gaps Model is a practical tool to help destinations focus on the important factors in developing and maintaining tourism as a beneficial and vital part of their communities. This book builds on the success of Tourism: A Community Approach and the subsequent tourism planning experiences of both authors to advance strategic planning in tourism.

Part of her proposed three-pronged model for such education and training is 'the
development of entrepreneurship or the initiative to work for oneself' (author's

entrepreneurship, and would be beneficial even if it convinced students such risk
taking and hard ...

Understanding Health Promotion

Informed by principles of equity and the social determinants of health, Understanding Health Promotion draws on the authors' research to focus on strategic approaches to health promotion practice. It considers health promotion from the perspective of different sectors of society, and reviews the expertise required of health promotion practitioners in the context of healthy public policy and strategic health promotion program planning and evaluation. Helpful 'Guidebooks' are integrated throughout the book and contain practical information about the many resources available to health promotion practitioners.They include top sites for internet resources, assessed for their quality and degree of practical information; guides to information that is not always easy to access, such as health promotion professional organisations and evidence sites; and expert guides to key skills for practice.

Part 3 describes actions that promote health from different sectors or parts of our society. The combination of theory, research and 'real world' practical application makes this book an essential learning tool for students.

Understanding Property Law

Understanding Property Law provides a background to an area of law which is notoriously inaccessible. Standing back from their subject, the authors of this book elucidate how the practices of the past have shaped the development and form of the modern law. In doing so they stress the role of lawyers in the transactions - such as sale, gift and inheritance - in which their clients become involved. This focus upon the work which lawyers do in their offices provides a necessary complement to the emphasis on legislation and adjudication found in most textbooks. This edition has been extensively revised and updated to incorporate recent legislative developments including the Land Registration Act 2002.

The fourth edition of this guide to property law has been extensively revised and updated to incorporate legislative developments, including the Land Registration Act 2002.
