Book Description
This book is a magical step back in time, a unique chance to revel in the glamour and allure of motor racing through the photographs by Uli Weber. Every year Goodwood stages a race meeting for the kind of cars and motorcycles that would have competed at this historic circuit during 1948-1966, offering visitors the opportunity to leave the "modern world" behind and join motor sport luminaries including Sir Stirling Moss, Richard Attwood, John Surtees and Derek. The internationally acclaimed photographer Uli Weber has realised a unique portrait of the event, the people and of the circuit that echoes to the spine-tingling bark of golden-age Grand Prix cars from the 50s and 60s, thundering sports and GT cars, as well as historic saloon cars and little-seen Formula Juniors.

Contemporary Issues in Cultural Heritage Tourism
Author: Jamie Kaminski
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136663142
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 376
Book Description
The perceived quality of a destination’s cultural offering has long been a significant factor in determining tourist choices of destination. More recently, the need to present touristic offerings that include cultural experiences and heritage has become widely recognised, that this aspect of the tourism experience is an important differentiator of destinations, as well as being amongst the most manageable. This has also led to an increase in the management of such experiences through special exhibitions, events and festivals, as well as through ensuring more routine and controlled access to heritage sites. Reflecting the increasing application of cultural heritage as a driver for tourism and development, this book provides for the first time a cohesive volume on the subject that is theoretically rich, practically applied and empirically grounded. Written by expert scholars and practitioners in the field, the book covers a broad range of theoretical perspectives of cultural heritage tourism; regeneration, policy, stakeholders, marketing, socio-economic development, impacts, sustainability, volunteering and ICT. It takes a broad view, integrating international examples of sites, monuments as well as intangible cultural heritage, motor vehicle heritage events and modern art museums. This significant book furthers knowledge of the theory and application of tourism within the context of cultural heritage and will be of interest to students, researchers and practitioners in a range of disciplines.

The Persistence of Technology
Author: Stefan Krebs
Publisher: transcript Verlag
ISBN: 3839447410
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 293
Book Description
Repair, reuse and disposal are closely interlinked phenomena related to the service lives and persistence of technologies. When technical artefacts become old and worn out, decisions have to be taken: is it necessary, worthwhile or even possible to maintain and repair, reuse or dismantle them - or must they be discarded? These decisions depend on factors such as the availability of second-hand markets, repair infrastructures and dismantling or disposal facilities. In telling the stories of China's power grid, Canadian telephones, German automobiles and India's shipbreaking business, among others, the contributions in this volume highlight the persistence of technologies and show that maintenance and repair are not obsolete in modern industries and consumer societies.
