Book Description
Peace through Tourism considers the possibilities for tourism to contribute to efforts to unmask conflict and promote peace. This edited volume considers the intersections between tourism, peace, justice and sustainability through conceptual and empirical works surveying practices, problems and challenges all around the globe. It presents a complex and critical approach, arguing that peace through tourism is dialogic and not as simple as describing a few “good” niche segments of tourism. The pedagogies of peace represented here work to analyse structural violence associated with tourism—such as in the dominance of neoliberal market imperatives over local or social economies; colonising, patriarchal and anthropocentric practices in tourism; and tourism’s complex role in post-conflict settings. Analyses found here place scholars, industry and communities in conversation about building shared tourism futures where peace is understood as peace with justice and differences are bridged through dialogues towards understanding. In light of the many challenges in attaining sustainable development in the 21st century, this volume is an important and timely endeavour. Radical practices are explored that support more ‘just’ tourism futures. With a new introduction, this book is an insightful resource for scholars and researchers of Tourism and Peace and Conflict Studies. The chapters in this book were originally published in Journal of Sustainable Tourism.

Book Description
Many paths can lead to the Divine—these inspiring stories may help you clarify yours. These original spiritual mini-autobiographies showcase the varied ways that people come to faith—and what that means—in today's multi-religious world. Examining their own journeys from belief to disillusionment and from searching to discovery, contributors from many faiths, ages, and backgrounds tell how they learned to integrate the spirit into their daily lives, and the remarkable transformations that followed. From South Africa to India, Chicago to San Francisco, and many places in between, Awakening the Spirit, Inspiring the Soul is the first international collection of its kind. It takes you on a trip through the spiritual lives of Buddhists, Hindus, Christians, Muslims, Jews, and others who are continually searching to find their spiritual identity. Many of these brief, inspiring memoirs portray the spirit of interspirituality that is growing in the world today, showing you how to build the foundation for religion and spirituality that can serve to unite, rather than divide, humanity. "There is a thirst for authentic connection in our scattered, busy, speedy culture. Sharing deeply from the soul and being received with an open heart satisfies that thirst. Being seen and acknowledged cultivates the soil of our good hearts. That is what this beautiful book, and the integral spirituality it addresses so elegantly, is all about." —from the Foreword by Joan Borysenko, PhD

Book Description
Adoption of Technology for Business and Alignment of Technology with Business are the twin engines to propel enterprise growth in the digital era. Unless both are firing together, you can neither attain sufficient altitude nor enough speed to stay competitive. Harness the power of this combined force by mastering the simple and proven techniques that help Business and IT achieve their shared mission, which is to make the business successful. Across industries and sectors, enterprises today must straddle two agendas at once: 1. The innovation-driven transformation to digital systems, 2. The preservation of best practices in business management and conduct. In other words, they must ride the digital wave without losing their grip on the business basics required to stay afloat. Only companies that have invested in this alignment between Business and Technology at the level of their culture, strategy, structure,processes, intellect, function and tactics will survive as digital enterprises. These seven dimensions of Business-IT Alignment, or BITA, are the foundation on which a successful digital business is built. Introduction 1 The way Things were… 2 Business-IT Alignment: Platitude or Survival? 3 Redefining IT in the times of BITA 4 The Digital Economy and what BITA has to do with it 5 BITA: An Outside-In View 6 What’s Your BITA Level? 7 Setting the Stage for the Digital Enterprise 8 The Making of the Digital Enterprise 9 The Culture Connection 10 The Strategy Statement 11 The Structure Story 12 The Process Paradigm 13 The Intellectual Interlock 14 The Functional Focus 15 The Tactical Touch List of Acronyms Glossary of Terms
