New from Bradt is Afghanistan, the first travel guidebook to the country from a mainstream publisher in almost 20 years. Afghanistan is a paradox: a nation so well-known internationally, yet one so infrequently explored that it has been effectively untouched by tourism since being a key stop on the hippie trail four decades ago. The Indian subcontinent, the Middle East, China and the ex-USSR ‘stans collide in Afghanistan. It is both the graveyard of empires and one of the world’s most hospitable countries. From the searing deserts of the south to the high peaks of the Hindu Kush, any trip here is challenging – but one that is now eminently possible with the right preparation. Cue expert travel advice from Bradt’s authorial team, comprising an adventure-tourism specialist and a prolific guidebook-writer who cover all the practicalities needed to travel securely and rewardingly – from how female travellers should best enjoy the country to where to stay in Kabul, the sprawling capital. Even the most well-travelled visitor will find their soul stirred and their blood pumping from spending time in Afghanistan. Visit iconic locations such as the Khyber Pass, the Minaret of Jam (14 hours’ drive from the nearest paved road!) or the Buddha Niches of Bamian (even if the Taliban have destroyed the statues once found there). Go trekking with Kyrgyz nomads in the Pamir mountains. On the vast steppe, watch buzkashi, a sport where riders attempt to place a goat carcass in a goal. Stay in chaikhanas, communal tea houses that have changed little from the time of Silk Road traders. Enjoy Herat’s Timurid architectural gems. Visit the shrine of Hazrat Ali, Afghanistan’s pre-eminent pilgrimage site, in Mazar e Sharif. At Band e Amir, experience the country’s first national park, and take a swan-shaped pedalo across the lapis lazuli blue waters of its lakes. Follow in the footsteps of Marco Polo in the Wakhan Corridor. Or hike among the forested peaks of Nuristan, where non-Afghan visitors so rarely tread. With Bradt’s Afghanistan to inform and inspire you, the off-beat holiday of a lifetime beckons.

Driving Productivity reconstructs the industrial histories of the American and German automotive industries, offering a fresh perspective on their development. 
 
From the Fordist assembly line to Japanese lean production and Industry 4.0, Anthony J. Knowles critically examines major technical developments within the historical dynamics of capitalism. Both countries face the pressure to automate, transform labor, and increase efficiency, yet their responses differ due to divergent paradigms of integrating business, labor, and government. The book makes a strong case that improving productivity is a never-ending process that becomes a compulsory social imperative that industries must respond to but that is nevertheless responded to differently between countries.

Emulsifiers and surfactants, as multifunctional food additives, are considered an integral part of the formulations of bakery, confectionery, and chocolate products to assist in blending and emulsifying ingredients, enhance the action of the shortening, batter stabilization, improve aeration or creaming texture, extend the shelf-life extension, control fat crystallization, and fat bloom, and moderate the polymorphic transformation. There is no comprehensive book on using emulsifiers in bakery, confectionery, and chocolate products in the food industry. This book enables engineers to apply appropriate strategies and achieve the desired properties in bakery, confectionery, and chocolate products through emulsifier and surfactant applications.Key Features:<ul> <li>Presents emulsifier and surfactant applications for bakery, confectionery, and chocolate products</li> <li>Explains how emulsifiers and surfactants are an integral part of the formulations of bakery, confectionery, and chocolate products</li> <li>Discusses international standards and legislation for application and labelling of emulsifiers and surfactants</li> </ul>

This book simplifies the process regarding the application of usability to medical devices for new developers by providing a thought-out walkthrough of what is involved and how the expectations from the essential standards affect their work and why. Based on the authors' experiences, the information in the book provides other more seasoned experts with a wealth of insight and nuggets of new perspectives on addressing the usability of medical devices, particularly medical software.The discussion in the book is rooted in recent real-world experiences from both the manufacturer and assessment body sides-the authors provide a novel high-level "roadmap" to using usability engineering to guide development activities from initial conceptual design to research, development, and ultimately release of a medical device. They build toward this map throughout the book and ultimately present the full model. This roadmap is the result of the authors' experiences of taking a research project and launching both a medical device and a medical device business after obtaining all the necessary regulatory approvals.The book helps product developers to understand the usability requirements around their own work, and to also better understand their users and to present the expected usability information in a way that is readily understood by the auditors. Managers of such work will also greatly benefit from the discussion of the required deliverables and the goals of the usability activities. Finally, the authors ease the divide between manufacturers and healthcare professionals using medical devices. By simultaneously showing the requirements for the manufacturer's development process and also discussing the realities of work on the healthcare side, the authors facilitate collaboration.

This book offers a novel perspective for conceptualising legality in market exchanges. It challenges the conventional binary of "legal" versus "illegal" markets by introducing the concept of variably legal markets - arenas of exchange where legality is conditional, multidimensional, and context-dependent.

Key Issues in Marketing Management

This book provides contemporary perspectives on marketing management with regards to drinking behaviour, drinking spaces and places, brewing, product development and inclusion. Globally, approximately one in three people (32.5%) drink alcohol equating to roughly 2.4 billion people. Behind this consumption, there are a range of brewers, distillers and winemakers who produce alcohol and suppliers and retailers of various types who bring the product to the consumer. Marketing management, advertising, communications and consumer behaviours play a role in the brewing, distribution and drinking of alcohol across different contexts.The chapters in this volume examine patterns of drinking, followed by an assessment of the role and style of drinking in different contexts, both commercial (the pub, bar, off licence) and personal (the home). The role of collaborative marketing practices is highlighted as well as the important role of product development especially related to no and low-alcohol products and increased moderation of drinking. The book also covers the area of inclusion, in terms of gender within the beer scene. Finally, the book offers a perspective from brewers and publicans and their contemporary struggles and hopes for the future.This comprehensive resource is designed for students, professionals, practitioners and researchers in consumer behavior, marketing management, consumer psychology, hospitality and tourism studies, business strategy and social sciences.The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Journal of Marketing Management.
