The Western Front - Landscape Tourism and Heritage - cover

Summary

The Western Front has become, once again, and after 100 years, an important and increasingly popular tourist destination. The Centenary is already encouraging large numbers of visitors to engage with this highly poignant landscape of war and to commemorate the sacrifice and loss of a previous generation. Interest is also being sharpened in the places of war as battle-sites, trench-systems, bunkers and mine craters gain a clearer identity as war heritage. For the first time this book brings together the three strands of heritage, landscape and tourism to provide a fresh understanding of the multi-layered nature of the Western Front. The book approaches the area as a rich dynamic landscape which can be viewed in a startling variety of ways: historically, materially, culturally, and perceptually. To illustrate these two dominant interpretations of the regions landscape  commemorative and heritage  are highlighted and their relationship to tourism explored. Tourism is a lens through which these layers can be peeled away, and each understood and interacted with according to the individuals own knowledge, motivation, and degree of emotional engagement. Tourism is not regarded here as a passive phenomenon, but as an active agent that can determine, dictate and inscribe this evocative landscape.   The Western Front:  Heritage, Landscape and Tourism is a timely addition to our increasing interest in the First World War and the places where it was fought. It will be indispensable to those who seek a deeper understanding of the conflict from previously undervalued perspectives.

    As a child, John Brennan wasn't an obvious candidate for success. School was a difficult, upsetting place and he was always at the bottom of the class. His battle with dyslexia meant that he felt stigmatised by a society that didn't understand him. Yet his determination to not be defined by his dyslexia created an ambition that has been matched by his business acumen.
Now in his mid-fifties, John's optimism is still flowing. It is a measure of his character that, on being diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, the first thing he did was to buy a very run-down Dromquinna Manor on 46 acres of overgrown grounds. Ten years later, in the midst of a world pandemic that saw hotels closed all over the world, John again bought a new hotel.
This is a fascinating account of a man with the vision to create his own life against the odds that will inspire people everywhere to find their own way too.

And I’m really glad you are here!As a business owner who has made millions and a Life Success coach who has coached dozens of ambitious women (and some men), I believe very strongly that success is just as much about ‘how you think’ as it is ‘what you do’.Success is first and foremost an Inside Job.I have seen it in my own life.I’ve seen it with the entrepreneurs and industry leaders I have worked with whose lives have been wildly transformed just by changing their thoughts and then taking actions on those new beliefs.Let’s face it. We have a lot on our plate. And those of us who are running our own businesses even more so.We are giving so much to the world around us.But things won’t shift until we get those birds on our shoulders to stop the negative chitchat.And the best fastest way to cut the self-doubt in its tracks is through meditation.And I make doing meditation dead easy.My MOVE collections are guided meditations.You don’t have to learn the ‘ins and outs ’of meditation. All you need to do is throw those earbuds in and drift off to sleep!Downloaded over 500,000 times on places like iTunes and Audible, my MOVE meditations don’t just ‘relax’ and destress, they are specifically designed to help you get MOVING and unstuck.So that you can finally live the life you have always wanted!“I must say I am so impressed with how well this is working for me. I use it every morning before I start my day and I have found I am more motivated than I have been in a very long time. I am no longer procrastinating on things that I don’t want to do. Rather, approaching them with a whole new mindset. It feels great to accomplish those tasks and as a result, I have more confidence in my daily life. Thank you!” ~Zeph22Isn’t it time? Isn’t it time to set aside the roadblocks that are impeding you from being the most motivated version of you?And it’s so easy.Just put the earbuds in and listen.Nothing simpler.All you need to do to open the door to motivated living the EASY wayis waiting for you here.

    “Taming the Algorithm” by Paweł Kuch deals with the EU's latest data protection law that is special in various respects. In contrast to the other norms of the GDPR, the provision on automated individual decisions (Art. 22 GDPR) does not contain any general specifications for the processing of personal data but regulates a specific constellation of such processing. Art. 22 GDPR is based on the assumption that making decisions by machines and algorithms is problematic and must therefore be legally framed and the final decision left to a data subject. With the recent developments in artificial intelligence (AI), numerous fields opened up. The question of the legal understanding of automated individual decisions has thus recently gained importance.
