The information provided herein, is presented factually, and accurately, to the best of my ability. Of course, there are customs in parts of our wonderful country, that differ from other areas. I did my best, and will be the first person to admit, I'm not an expert. Also, it would be pure folly to think of myself as a writer. I hope we don't bore you to death. No pun intended.
A Pulitzer Prize-winning correspondent and a former private investigator dive deep into the murky waters of the international salmon farming industry, exposing the unappetizing truth about a fish that is not as good for you as you have been told.A decade ago, farmed Atlantic salmon replaced tuna as the most popular fish on North America's dinner tables. We are told salmon is healthy and environmentally friendly. The reality is disturbingly different.In Salmon Wars, investigative journalists Douglas Frantz and Catherine Collins bring readers to massive ocean feedlots where millions of salmon are crammed into parasite-plagued cages and fed a chemical-laced diet. The authors reveal the conditions inside hatcheries, where young salmon are treated like garbage, and at the farms that threaten our fragile coasts. They draw colorful portraits of characters, such as the big salmon farmer who poisoned his own backyard, the fly-fishing activist who risked everything to ban salmon farms in Puget Sound, and the American researcher driven out of Norway for raising the alarm about dangerous contaminants in the fish. Frantz and Collins document how the industrialization of Atlantic salmon threatens this keystone species, endangers our health and environment, and lines the pockets of our generation's version of Big Tobacco. And they show how it doesn't need to be this way.Just as Eric Schlosser's Fast Food Nation forced a reckoning with the Big Mac, the vivid stories, scientific research, and high-stakes finance at the heart of Salmon Wars will inspire readers to make choices that protect our health and our planet.
Asia is regarded as the fastest growing area for international and domestic tourism in the world today and over the next 20 years.
There are gaps to be filled in the wealth management industry . . . and you can make the difference. Talking about money is taboo in many families, for many reasons. This lack of transparency spells opportunity for the wealth manager who can offer sane, sound, and practical advice for handling money successfully. However, many wealth management firms aren't representative of the people they serve. Most focus too narrowly on the ultrawealthy, and the business as a whole isn't as diverse as the United States--and it should be. There's a world of opportunity in the financial advisory business, particularly for young women and people of color. Up until now, the advisory business has been poorly understood, which has led to undesired barriers to entry. For the right person--someone who is entrepreneurial, loves people, and wants to build a business from the ground up--wealth management is one of the most exciting professions to be in. You're your own boss, and there's no ceiling on your income. Raj Sharma knows this better than anyone. One of the most well-respected advisors in the U.S., Raj has cultivated his business over the past thirty years. An insightful culmination of his decades of experience, The Purposeful Wealth Advisor shows you how to get started in the business of wealth management, thrive as you build your client base, own your financial security, and inspire your future.
Cutting Edge Research Methods in Hospitality and Tourism sits at the forefront of fast-paced developments in the tourism and hospitality industry, highlighting the importance of applied and pure research to address the theoretical and practical problems and gaps.
This book contributes to the understanding of how tourism can be designed to provide conditions for learning. This involves learning for tourists, the tourist industry, public authorities and local communities. We explore how tourism, knowledge and learning can be used as means towards sustainable development through current, new or changed structures, concepts, activities and communication efforts. The book should be seen as both an inspiration for tourism actors (e.g. tourism attractions, policy makers and other industry actors), and a scholarly contribution to further research. A holistic approach distinguishes this book from most existing literature that focuses on separate units of tourism, for instance, personal or community well-being, nature-based tourism, cultural heritage tourism or tourism that is a result of researchers' travels (so-called scientific tourism). The various contributors to the book provide a range of perspectives and experiences, from social sciences with a focus on marketing, innovation management, human geography and environmental law, to arts and humanities with a focus on heritage studies, archaeology and photography, and, finally, to natural sciences with a focus on marine sciences.The Open Access version of this book, available at www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives 4.0 license

Personen, Organisationen und Institutionen und deren funktionales Zusammenwirken spielen eine dezidierte Rolle im Aufbau von Resilienz, weshalb in der praktischen Implementierung dieses Ansatzes sowohl zentrale Koordination als auch partizipativ entwickelte und gestaltete Formate zum Tragen kommen. Diese Community Resilience ist zugleich die vorhandene Kompetenz und die wachsende Fahigkeit einer Gemeinschaft, Risiken abzuschatzen und sich in einem Umfeld weiterzuentwickeln, das von Veranderung, Unsicherheit und Unvorhersagbarkeit gepragt ist. Mit dieser Charakteristik kann Community Resilience einen Beitrag zur strategischen Destinationsentwicklung leisten, was anhand folgender Forschungsfrage untersucht wird: Inwiefern kann Community Resilience eine Strategie zur Entwicklung touristischer Destinationen darstellen? Daniel Zacher untersucht erstmalig die Vorzuge der Anwendung des Resilienz-Ansatzes in strategischen und organisationalen Fragen der Destinationsentwicklung. Dabei werden eine integrative konzeptionelle Betrachtung des Resilienz-Verstandnisses fur Destinationen im Spannungsfeld von ingenieurswissenschaftlicher, sozial-okologischer und evolutionarer Perspektive dargestellt.
