"So often the only way to get a man to look up is to get him down. A man utterly on his back has to look up. I remember one evening..." And away, on another adventure with David Graysin, this time to the Wicked City. "In war," Grayson says, "you do not do what you wish but what you must." It was the era of the Great War, and Grayson was to fight it, "not with a sword nor with a plough, but with a pen. That drudgery!" The Great War is on, and Grayson is called to serve, not with sword but with pen. The was effort means leaving his beloved Hempfield to return to The Wicked City. Yet as much as he disliked the move, "In the City I came to understand many strange, new things about life and people, and the way to live."

"Canoeing not only provides you with the basic skills and knowledge you need to safely head out for adventures on a variety of water trails, but it also presents a strong foundational understanding of this recreational activity."--Back cover.

The ?rst and foremost goal of this lecture series was to show the beauty, depth and usefulness of the key ideas in computer science. While working on the lecture notes, we came to understand that one can recognize the true spirit of a scienti?c discipline only by viewing its contributions in the framework of science as a whole. We present computer science here as a fundamental science that, interacting with other scienti?c disciplines, changed and changes our view on the world, that contributes to our understanding of the fundamental concepts of science and that sheds new light on and brings new meaning to several of these concepts. We show that computer science is a discipline that discovers spectacular, unexpected facts, that ?nds ways out in seemingly unsolvable s- uations, and that can do true wonders. The message of this book is that computer science is a fascinating research area with a big impact on the real world, full of spectacular ideas and great ch- lenges. It is an integral part of science and engineering with an above-average dynamic over the last 30 years and a high degree of interdisciplinarity. The goal of this book is not typical for popular science writing, whichoftenrestrictsitselftooutliningtheimportanceofaresearch area. Whenever possible we strive to bring full understanding of the concepts and results presented.

Adventure tourism is an increasingly widespread phenomenon, appealing to an expanding proportion of the population who seek new destinations and new experiences. This timely, edited volume offers new theoretical perspectives of this emerging subset of Tourism. it uses philosophical and cutting edge empirically grounded research to challenge existing thinking and develop the conceptual framework underpinning definitions of adventure, interrogating the adventure tourism experience and further building upon recent advances in adventure education. The book brings together adventure literature from range of disciplines and applies it to focused study of Adventure Tourism. By doing so it significantly furthers understanding and moves forward this development of this area of Tourism. This significant volume is written by leading academics in the area, and will be valuable reading for all those interested in Adventure Tourism.
