Reviews all aspects of the phenomenon of mass tourism, from theoretical perspectives to the historical context, as well as covering the current challenges to domestic, intra-regional and international mass tourism.

This book addresses the breeding, genetics, ecophysiology, production, protection and utilization of sweet and sour cherries. Reflecting the most recent research and technologies, it provides an overview of all aspects of cherry science and culture and includes many advances in production at an applied level.

This book discusses the concept of resilience and its application to tourism. It compares the relevance of resilience to sustainability; the former focusing on the well-being and survival of the places affected and the latter focusing on the agent of impact, tourism itself.

A multi-disciplinary approach to policy-making and planning in the leisure, sport and tourism sectors, this book provides an introduction for students. It examines theoretical issues underpinning public sector policy making, debates around the role of the state versus market, and models of organisational decision-making.

Taking a disease-based approach, this book focuses on the pathobiology of and protective strategies against the most common, major microbial pathogens of economically important marine and freshwater fish. It covers well-studied, notifiable piscine viruses and bacteria, including new and emerging diseases.

Plant gene silencing through RNA interference can be used to improve industrial traits, adding nutritional benefits, removing allergens and other valuable factors for consumers, and to protect plants against bacterial and viral pathogens, weeds and pests. This is the first book to combine the biological phenomenon and the practical applications.

Urban agriculture is crucial to the environmental sustainability of cities, but the issues facing cities in the global north and south have been seen as unlinked. This book brings together evidence from both areas to highlight the interconnectedness and the contribution to social justice.

This interdisciplinary, full-colour textbook describes microbial contaminants from plants, fungi and animal products that are potential risks to humans, reviewing their origin, risk, prevention and control. Using models to explain concepts, it shows interactions between humans moving food through global systems and impacts on microbial food safety.

This book describes lessons learnt from an innovative scheme in India that improved yields in drylands. It shows how the scheme can be scaled up for other Dryland regions of the world. The scheme uses localised soil nutrient analyses to create an integrated, climate-smart fertilizer and planting plan that maximises yields for farmers.
