Tourism and Gastronomy addresses this by drawing together a group of international experts in order to develop a better understanding of the role, development and future of gastronomy and culinary heritage in...

The Cybercities Reader
ISBN: 9780415279567 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 444 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. For too long information and communications technologies have been lazily portrayed as means to simply escape into a parallel world -- to withdraw from the body, or the city, in some utopian, or dystopian, stampede on-line. Such perspectives deny the fact that the so-called 'information society' is also an increasingly urban society. They ignore the ways in which new technologies now mediate every dimension of the fabric of everyday urban life. And they tend to obscure a key question: how do the multifaceted realities of city regions interrelate in practice with new technologies in different...
