Book Description
Este libro se enmarca en la búsqueda de nuevos patrones de desarrollo que inspiren la renovación profunda de la economía, la industria, la sociedad y el medio urbano en su conjunto. El objetivo es profundizar en una interpretación particular del concepto de desarrollo competitivo y sostenible aplicado al territorio del siglo XXI a través del concepto de territorios inteligentes. Para ello, se desarrolla un modelo conceptual de territorios inteligentes, presentándose tanto la arquitectura básica del mismo, como los agentes y vectores de desarrollo que lo conforman. El modelo se construye a partir de una revisión de la literatura así como de las lecciones derivadas de una selección de casos de estudio referidos a ciudades y regiones localizadas en diferentes países. La selección de casos de estudio se ha realizado siguiendo un criterio de diversidad. Se han incluido experiencias de ciudades que tras sufrir un proceso de desindustrialización han sido capaces de avanzar hacia su configuración como territorio inteligente. También, se han recogido casos de ciudades que destacan por ser un ejemplo paradigmático y excepcional de desarrollo en alguno de los ámbitos que caracterizan a un territorio inteligente. Asimismo, se han incorporado prácticas de lugares que, desde décadas pasadas, han adoptado trayectorias de excelencia en uno o varios de los fundamentos de un territorio inteligente.

Book Description
The concept of social innovation offers an alternative perspective on development and territorial transformation, one which foregrounds innovation in social relations. This volume presents a broad-ranging and insightful exploration of social innovation and how it can affect life, society and economy, especially within local communities. It addresses key questions about the nature of social innovation as a process and a strategy and explores what opportunities may exist, or may be generated, for social innovation to nourish human development. It puts forward alternative development options which variously highlight solidarity, co-operation, cultural-artistic endeavour and diversity. In doing so, this book offers a provocative response to the predominant neoliberal economic vision of spatial, economic and social change.

Book Description
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a complex set of thoughts and behaviors that can vary greatly from person to person and can be related to and complicated by a wide range of other disorders. Clinicians are confronted with the challenge of accurately classifying its many variants and developing effective, systematic treatments for them. Some believe that OCD and related problems should be treated as subtypes of one condition; others argue that OCD is composed of a spectrum of many similar conditions that should be treated individually. In this handbook, Jonathan S. Abramowitz, Dean McKay, and Steven Taylor present an approach to diagnosis and treatment that considers subtype and spectrum concepts. They examine specific presentations of OCD—the symptoms—that are often seen in practice as well as the many disorders that may fall within the OCD spectrum. For each symptom and putative spectrum condition, they discuss empirical support, theories of etiology, and treatment issues. The volume covers cognitive-behavioral and biological factors, as well as the latest approaches to psychological and pharmacologic therapy, including complicating factors in treatment. In concluding chapters, the authors critically address the current literature on proposed subtype and spectrum disorders, consider the clinical implications of the literature, and map out a comprehensive, integrated approach for understanding OCD and related conditions. The only work on OCD that covers treatment options for specific symptoms and the full spectrum of related disorders, this handbook is a must-have for clinicians who are dedicated to improving the lives of patients with these challenging mental conditions.

Book Description
Inclusion, disability, an ageing population and tourism are increasingly important areas of study due to their implications for both tourism demand and supply. This book therefore sets out to explore and document the current theoretical approaches, foundations and issues in the study of accessible tourism. In drawing together the contributions to this volume the editors have applied broader social constructionist approaches to understanding the accessible tourism phenomena. Accessible tourism, as with any area of academic study is an evolving field of academic research and industry practice. As with other areas of tourism, the field is multidisciplinary, and is influenced by various disciplines including geography, disability studies, economics, public policy, psychology and marketing. "As one would expect from two scholars at the height of their academic abilities, Dimitrios Buhalis and Simon Darcy have delivered a timely and much needed contribution to the under-served area of accessible tourism. Harnessing the best conceptual developments on the topic, Accessible Tourism is a scholarly yet hugely readable collection and readily communicates the various contributors' passion for and command of their subject. This collection is a must have text for anyone engaged in the theory, practice and policy of accessible tourism and will be essential reading on undergraduate and postgraduate courses across a range of disciplines and fields. I cannot speak highly enough of this endeavour and I'm sure it will take accessible tourism and universal design debates into the mainstream of academic enquiry and industry practice."
