Dieses Buch beleuchtet Wasser als zentrale touristische Ressource und zeigt seine vielfältigen Nutzungsformen, Potenziale und Herausforderungen. Das touristische Angebot spiegelt die sich stets wandelnde, von kurzfristigen „Hypes“, aber auch von langfristigen Megatrends beeinflusste Nachfrage wider. Dabei spielt Wasser in zahlreichen Tourismusformen eine zentrale Rolle: von „Sun &amp; Beach“-Reisen und Kreuzfahrten über Tauch- und Sportboottourismus bis hin zu Ferienunterkünften am Wasser. Wasser weist jedoch auch heilsame Fähigkeiten auf und wird in der Architektur von Ferienhotels als gestalterisches Element genutzt. Alle touristischen Nutzungsformen des Wassers stehen dabei unter dem Eindruck des Klimawandels und der daraus resultierenden Konsequenzen. Wasser ist&nbsp;dabei nicht nur Kulisse und Attraktion, sondern auch Herausforderung und Ressource.&nbsp;Der Sammelband beleuchtet diese komplexen Zusammenhänge aus verschiedenen wissenschaftlichen Perspektiven. Er vereint aktuelle Forschungsergebnisse, nachhaltige Entwicklungsansätze und neue Blickwinkel auf ein Thema, das die Tourismuslandschaft&nbsp;weltweit prägt richtet sich an Wissenschaftler:innen, Studierende und Praktiker:innen aus Tourismus, Freizeit-, Gesundheits- und Regionalentwicklung sowie an alle, die die Potenziale wasserbezogener Tourismusformen erkennen, wissenschaftlich weiter erschließen und für eine nachhaltige Gestaltung touristischer Räume nutzbar machen möchten.

While disguised, Newt encounters the handsome but insufferable Major Harnett, who joins the hunt for the missing Emerald. Offended by her new ally’s high-handedness but eager for assistance, Newt strives to conceal her true identity from Harnett, little guessing that he too is not as he appears.A sweeping adventure ensues filled with sinister fey, fancy dresses, witty banter, daring seaborne escapes, grand balls, and a sorceress whose evil plot threatens everyone from Newt herself to the Prince Regent. And as Newt and Harnett face danger together, each realizes there is more to the other than meets the eye—and more alarming yet, they may actually be falling in love.The New York Times bestselling author of Sabriel, Garth Nix, shares his own love for the Regency romantasy genre in a charmed world where everyone has something to hide.Tropes: <ul><li>Mistaken Identity</li><li>Enemies to Lovers</li><li>Forced Proximity</li><li>Dark Fey</li><li>Slow Burn</li><li>Regency Romance</li></ul>

A Regency Romantasy

Newt's Emerald

A sobering investigation of the rush for lithium for electric vehicles, the problematic history of lithium mining, and the consequences for sustainability. Consumers today are buying electric vehicles with lithium-ion batteries motivated by the belief that they are doing good and decarbonizing society. But is sustainable lithium extraction possible? In Living Minerals, Javiera Barandiarán examines the history of lithium mining and uses during the twentieth century, with a specific focus on the two oldest brine-lithium mines: Silver Peak, Nevada, and Salar de Atacama, Chile, where lithium is found as one more element in a liquid mix of salts, minerals, and organisms. For six decades, mining experts have failed to ask about water usage, about waste or brine leakage, and about the ecosystem impacts in delicate deserts. Instead, they have relied on various fictions about the size of reserves, the fate of leaked brine, or the value of waste in facilitating mine development. These fictions, rooted in brine-lithium’s material qualities, could be sustained thanks to powerful mining memories that celebrated resource nationalism. Unique in its historical and multidimensional approach to minerals and mining, based on the novel Rights of Nature paradigm, and using new archival materials from both Chile and the US, the book argues that decarbonizing society requires that we reckon with these realities—or risk deepening our dependency on an unsustainable mining industry.

Living Minerals

In this hugely original blend of thriller, sci-fi and horror, a trio of Blockbuster employees discover they may be able to change the endings of popular films and, thus, the world around them. The last Blockbuster video store in the United States is hanging on by a thread. And after a crazy night attempting to track down a lost VCR rental to collect the record-setting and internet-famous late fee, three employees, idealistic Eva, cinephile Jerry, and their tyrannical manager Randy, discover that this machine may actually have the power to change the endings of popular films, which, depending on the historical basis of the film, might also be changing the real world around them. Or could this just be an elaborate, increasingly deadly prank? When they begin receiving videotapes and voicemails seemingly depicting their deaths, Eva, Jerry, and Randy scramble to keep the VCR from falling into the wrong hands. And as one action-packed evening begins to seemingly repeat itself (or does it?), scores are settled and unwanted confessions begin to fly, until a Final Girl finally unravels a grand psychological experiment orchestrated at the highest levels of a crumbling social media empire.

An in-depth exploration of the network of agencies involved in policing child pornography—and what the future of security and care looks like. Facing the Child investigates the technocratic expertise in the policing of child sexual abuse material (CSAM). Mitali Thakor argues that CSAM has come to be framed as primarily a digital problem, to be resolved digitally, thereby unleashing a new form of corporatized policing helmed by global technology companies. Ambitious in scope, this multi-sited global ethnography draws on 4 years of original fieldwork and interviews with technology companies in the US, the United Nations in Bangkok, Thai and Dutch NGOs, and law enforcement in the US and the Netherlands. The book argues that in the 2010s, a network of technology companies, NGOs, and law enforcement created the notion of a “virtual child” in need of techno-solutionist saving to justify a vast expansion of surveillance technologies. The book examines how pervasive myths of child abuse online were exploited to serve the aims of seemingly disparate groups, from Christian neo-abolitionists to NGOs conducting virtual sting operations. It is this complex relationship between the care and securitization needed to fix the child victim as an object of data, concern, and rescue that the book explores.
