ISBN: 9781138250277 / Angielski / Miękka / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Along with basic practical reasons, our practices concerning food and drink are driven by context and environment, belief and convention, aspiration and desire to display - in short, by culture.

It asks: what is food and drink tourism, and why have food and drink provisions and information points become tourist destinations in their own right, rather than remaining among a number of tourism features and components? While it...

Each main chapter is anchored by an extended empirical example: back-to-the-land, home-schooling, and...

Traditions Past and Present
ISBN: 9781614934479 / Angielski / Miękka / 114 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Millions of people believe in, speak of, and agree that traditions of the past and present are of Christianity. Most come into adulthood having accepted without question what they heard, read, or were taught in Sunday school. Such people often defend their beliefs, feeling no need to examine the proof of why they hold onto them. Human nature wants to follow the crowd, and this has been the case with nearly every popular tradition. Before dismissing this knowledge, force yourself to consider the facts of history. It is vital to understand the origin of the traditions that are represented... Millions of people believe in, speak of, and agree that traditions of the past and present are of Christianity.

TRUMPISM is the emerging nationalist and authoritarian movement consisting of an invincible emotional bond of Mr. Trump with his followers. The bond evokes fear, anger, distrust, suspicion.

ISBN: 9781138278448 / Angielski / Miękka / 222 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In public debates, communication campaigns and public policies, it is increasingly common to attribute to consumers and their agency an ability to help solve a broad array of societal problems. This tendency is particularly clear in the field of food consumption, owing to the fact that food is both materially and symbolically central for consumers in everyday life as well as for large scale institutionalized dynamics. In order to shed light on the challenges facing food consumption, this volume takes an innovative theoretical approach, presenting four empirical Danish case studies which are...
