Martin Mowforth, "Tourism and Sustainability: Development, globalisation and new tourism in the Third World Ed 4"
English | ISBN: 1138013250 | 2015 | 476 pages | EPUB | 6 MB
By January 2015 the world's richest 80 people had as much wealth as the poorest 50 per cent of the world's population. It is a global unevenness through which the barriers to in-migration of Third World migrants to wealthy First World nations go ever higher, while the barriers to travel in the reverse direction are all but extinct.

What's the key to the art of growing older well? Is it an art that anyone can cultivate? How should we confront dying and death in a secular age? What about sex when we're older? What about loneliness? (And, for that matter, what about facelifts?)
The Tao of Computing By Henry Mackay Walker
2005 | 503 Pages | ISBN: 0763725528 | PDF | 8 MB
In 1999, the Computer Science and Telecommunications Board of the National Research Council published a booklet, "Being Fluent with Information Technology." The booklet contained a report that identified 10 high-level intellectual capacities, 10 information technology concepts and 10 information technology skills essential for a basic understanding of computer fluency. This book was developed to present and explain those essential topics. Walker does an excellent job in explaining the concepts in a manner that can be comprehended by a beginner. Very little beyond the basic capability of reading is assumed, even middle school children can understand it. A set of discussion questions and a set of exercises are included at the end of each chapter. No solutions to either set are provided. The topics are presented as a series of questions with detailed answers. For example, the questions for chapter 7, "What Can Computers Do For Me?" are:*) What types of problems are computers good at?*) When would a computer's storage and retrieval skills help me?*) How does a computer's computational capabilities help me?*) What else can a computer help me with?*) What do good applications have in common?*) Why can a computer guide astronauts into space but not predict the stock market?*) If computer programs that predict the stock market are unreliable, how can I tell when other computer programs might be giving unreliable results?*) For problems that a computer can solve, what process should I use to get an answer?*) Can some computers solve problems that other computers can't solve?*) What are Turing machines?*) So, what do Turing machines have to do with computers today?*) If all computers are universal, how do they differ?*) How can I decide what machine I should buy?These questions are the subheadings of the chapters in the table of contents, making it easy for the reader to find a particular question that they would like answered. Although there will always be a few holdouts, it is clear that a basic understanding of how computers work and can be used is now an essential life skill. This book provides the means to learn the essentials and it can be used as either a textbook in a formal class or for self-study. I strongly recommend it for both.
The Space Between: Chaos. Questions. Magic. Welcome to your twenties. by Zara McDonald, Michelle Andrews
English | September 1st, 2020 | ISBN: 9781760144999 | 268 pages | True EPUB | 3.22 MB
There's this weird gap in life that's fuelled by cheap tacos and even cheaper tequila - also known as our twenties. It's a specific limbo between being a teenager and a Proper Adult, and though it's wildly confusing, often lonely, sometimes embarrassing and frequently daunting, there's also a whole lot of magic to be found in the chaos. It's a time when we're finding our own voices, cementing our relationships and starting to fulfil our big ambitions (or simply just working out what they are).
The Semantics of English Prepositions: Spatial Scenes, Embodied Meaning, and Cognition By Andrea Tyler, Vyvyan Evans
2003 | 267 Pages | ISBN: 0521814308 | PDF | 3 MB
Using a cognitive linguistics perspective, this work provides the most comprehensive, theoretical analysis of the semantics of English prepositions available. All English prepositions are originally coded as spatial relations between two physical entities. While retaining their original meaning, prepositions have also developed a rich set of non-spatial meanings. Andrea Tyler and Vyvyan Evans argue that all the meanings are systematically related through a set of cognitive principles, emphasizing the importance of human experience with the world as the foundation for lexical meaning.
The Scoliosis Handbook of Safe and Effective Exercises Pre and Post Surgery by Caroline Freedman
2020 | ISBN: 1781611661 | English | 160 pages | EPUB | 3 MB
Scoliosis - having abnormal spinal curvature, that is a spine that twists and curves to one side - can affect a person at any age but tends to be diagnosed in rapidly growing teenagers. According to published sources, c.4 in every 1000 children in the UK and Ireland need treatment for scoliosis; many more (c.1 in 110) have the condition but don't need or seek treatment but can be helped by exercise. However, understanding of what exercise is safe and effective with a curved and/or operated-on spine is very limited. Specialist exercise trainer and expert scoliosis patient Caroline Freedman provides a practical, illustrated guide for those who are able to use exercise to alleviate their scoliosis curves and for those who need a more radical solution - surgery - and must modify how they exercise pre- and post-operatively. Patients, their families and movement professionals will find practical, safe, tailored guidance based on specific, long-term experience.

The Intelligent Guide to Texas Hold'em Poker By Sam Braids
2003 | 199 Pages | ISBN: 0967755123 | PDF | 8 MB
The fact that the cover of this book has a chessboard on it shows that the author clearly has no understanding of either game. If you think I'm joking then just look--the pieces are in an illegal (and ridiculous) position! And wouldn't we all be big winners if royal flushes came as often as he'd have you believe.Mr. Braids may have a PHD... well I think we all know what that stands for.
