Tourism in the Least Developed Countries (Third United Nations Conference on the Least Developed Countries)

Book Description

When anthropologists and other students of culture want to compare different societies in such areas as the organization of land, labor, trade, or barter, they often discover that individual researchers use these concepts inconsistently and from a variety of theoretical approaches, so that data from one society cannot be compared with data from another. In this book, Rhoda Halperin offers an analytical tool kit for studying economic processes in all societies and at all times. She uniquely organizes the book around key concepts: economy, ecology, equivalencies, householding, storage, and time and the economy. These concepts are designed to facilitate the understanding of similarities, differences, and changes between contemporary and past economies. While this is not only a "how-to" book or handbook, it can be used as such. It will be of great value to scholars and students of archaeology and history, as well as to ethnographers and economists.

Not quite that bad, I'd say.......2005-01-07

I have read the book in its entirety and did not find it difficult to follow in the least. However, I had the advantage of having recently read some of Polanyi's best known books.

While I acknowledge that Halperin's book did draw quite heavily on Polanyi's work, it would be most unfair to state that Polanyi's ideas have died and that Halperin's work along these lines is useless.

Most scholars acknowledge that the formalist/substantivist debate Polanyi initiated was less than fruitful and historians have poked some holes in his economic history. Some errors are to be expected in multidisciplinary work - especially when written at a time when it was politically unacceptable for Polanyi to acknowledge some of his source of inspiration.

Though Polanyi's history was flawed, his arguments could have been instantiated by ethnographic work, which was a key source of inspiration for his approach.

Halperin extracts a valuable conceptual approach from Polanyi's work. I emphasize VALUABLE because Polanyi's concept of embeddedness has been modernized and extended by Mark Granovetter, who in turn has been very influential not only within economic sociology and anthropology but also within new institutional economics.

While many economic anthropologists cast irrelevant or impotent critiques at the easily misunderstood giant which is economic science, Polanyi's critiques called attention to a weakness in neoclassical economic theory that nobel prize winner Ronald Coase was to write about just 3 years later in The Theory of Social Costs.

Polanyi's notion of embeddedness - that economic transactions are not independent of their social and institutional millieu - is sweeping through economics like wildfire and even encouraging a few bold economists to read classic ethnography in search of better insights and justification for their analysis.

It is ironic that the substantivist/formalist debate be labelled as unfruitful precisely when economists are so fervently striving to close the social gap first identified by Karl Polanyi and subsequently by Ronald Coase between "Blackboard economics" and economic reality.

It may be the case that anthropologists become bored of novel ideas and theories before working out their enormous implications for interdisciplinary research and reformulation of existing theory.

I would submit that few ideas within economic anthropology have had as large an effect on mainstream economics as those of Karl Polanyi. As such, distilling and revisiting his core concepts may be more fruitful than expected.

For researchers wishing to participate in these exciting new interdisciplinary developments within academia or policy, accessible, modernized, expanded, and refined versions of Polanyi's arguments may be highly relevant.

Disappointing, hard to follow, an ode to Polanyi.......1998-09-02

Its hard to tell what the author's goal is in this book. It purports to be about economic anthropology, but does not cover any of the important work in that field over the last 20 years. The author sometimes claims this is a work that ties together cultural anthropology and archaeology, but again there is almost no reference to other relevant work in either field.

The book reinvents not just one wheel, but enough to support a tractor-trailer. But in most cases the wheels are old, cracked, and flat. This is because the author's single inspiration seems to be the work of a long-dead historical economist, Karl Polanyi. The book is basically a long ode to how brilliant Polanyi was, how he figured out everything important, and answered every question.

This is not an easy book to read. There never seems to be any clear line of thought, progression , or narrative. The examples are thrown together with no coherent order - they are a mish-mash taken at random from ethnography and archaeology.

I cannot see how this book would be of any use to a student starting out in economic anthropology, unless you wanted to confuse them and put them to sleep. Professionals in the field are not likely to get much out of it either. Most anthropologists already know what Polanyi said, and dont need an endless exegesis of ideas which have largely not withstood the test of time. The author appears to be massively uninformed about what has gone on in social theory since Polanyi died.

getting real w/ kids.......2006-04-04

I don't usually review books that I am selling on amazon, but this book deserves it. I feel like it addresses so many issues that ADHD families suffer through. It talks about school performance, school assistance, medication, doctors, behavioral modification charts (that can be copies out of the back of the book for later usage.)

The text is well researched w/ an extensive bibliography. The format of the book is easy for kids to understand. I think this book could bring a lot of relief to kids and their families.

Book Description

Thirty years on from his first hit single, 'Space Oddity', David Bowie remains the most influential rock star from the post-Woodstock generation. Strange Fascination chronicles Bowie's career against the colourful backdrop of post-Beatles pop culture. It's a story of amazing creativity, of huge theatricality and of an almost pathological quest to remain relevant and at pop's cutting edge. It is simply the the most complete account of David Bowie and his impact on pop culture ever written. This book is the first genuinely insightful and heavyweight biography of a true musical icon, fully revised and updated for paperback edition.

A moving, though sometimes painful, love letter to Bowie........2006-07-05

This biography, by a self-admitted Bowie fan, is definitely one of the best biographies I've ever read, period. His writing style is often quite enthralling, and his descriptions of early Bowie performances jumped off the page. They went even farther in making me yearn for a time machine or rip in the time-space continuum, just so I could jump back a few decades to see the man live. In addition to his electric descriptions of past showmanship, Buckley also spends much time delving into speculation about his actions over past decades, including what is interpreted as sincere artistic creativity in the '70s, discomfort and commercial kowtowing in the '80s, and a sure climb to becoming an absolutely painful corporate entity in the present.
I must admit that Buckley's portrayal of each decade is convincing. Surely the experimentation of the Eno records could mean nothing but a sincere need for innovation, but the Bowie of the '90's (and I fear the first half of the '00s) has become that corporate giant he has always seemed to run exactly counter to, and it saddens me.
However, I still think that Bowie's legacy means so much more than he has become in recent years, and I am glad that Buckley ends the book with a section on how he has shaped the fans' lives with his music and image. Indeed, this message of his early music: that everyone can be, and is, a star, even as they stand disenfranchised, lonely and unsure of what they are, is what remains important to me and so many of his fans. This is what he should be remembered for, and what will always set him apart from other musicians for me; he will always be the one that tells his fans that it is okay to be different, and indeed beautiful to be so.
This is what I thank David Buckley for communicating so well in his book; that despite the changes the man has undergone, he will, through his past achievements, always hold a spark for those of us who never felt we could be normal, and never wanted to be.

Well-written and informative, but slightly shallow.......2004-06-07

David Buckley certainly knows his subject having even written a PhD thesis on Bowie. In spite of that, this book is (in my twisted view at least) sadly not a very academic or high-brow approach to Bowie's art. Instead it is a rather straightforward biography with more emphasis on Bowie as an artist than as a person. I would have liked to see a more in-depth academical analysis of him, but I guess that wouldn't appeal to so many of his fans. Anyway, it is probably the best book on Bowie around so I recommend it. The only thing that really bothers me is the very strange collection of pictures Buckley has picked for the book. He seems to like those where Bowie has (to me at least) this really nasty, unpleasant grin. (Check out the Thin White Duke picture and the one with Bolan for example.) That is a shame I think, when he quite frankly is the most photogenic person alive.

Excellence.......2003-11-18

As a huge Bowie fan, and someone who sought factual information on the enigmatic rock legend i really enjoyed this book. There is more to recommend it than the cover (best picture of Bowie ive ever seen), Buckley meets just about anyone who was ever connected with Bowie, drawing upon bandmates like Carlos Alomar and Earl Slick, as well as contributions from producers such as Tony Visconti and Nile Rodgers as well as sound masters such as Eno, to give us a fuller picture of Bowie throughout the last four decades. What i like in particular about this book is the descriptions of Bowie's 'bad times', the 74-76 period in particular is very full and well outlined. If you love Bowie, you'll love reading this. The book also tries to uncover the meaning and history behind individual classic songs such as Heroes, Station To Station and Life On Mars?, which many of the other Bowie books dont do. As a biography of course we must not automatically accept everything in the book as fact, i mean for example, Bowie didnt contribute or endorse the book - but he never supports or endorses biographies of himself anyway, so just a teeny weeny pinch of salt sometimes thoughout might be wise.

Balanced book about a complicated artist.......2003-07-20

By his nature, David Bowie isn't an easy person to write a book about. He is very complicated, closed, and truly a "chameleon", which is the label many put on him. Buckley does an admirable job. He is obviously a devout fan, but he writes this book with a very balanced view. It is neither complete idolatry, nor is it a "kiss and tell" book. Instead, it is mostly about Bowie's art (music is obviously most of that, but his other forays as well) and how he works. There are tidbits of gossip here and there, as well as an aspect of setting the record straight. His early life isn't covered very much at all, and I would have liked to have heard more about his relationship with his brother Terry. The book goes as recent as 2000. Overall a great read, but I am left with one question....am I really the only one out there who loved the "Glass Spider" album??? I thought it was great!!!

Solid, well-balanced book.......2002-06-04

Buckley has slillfully juggled a proper critical distance with the evident enthusiasm of the long-time David Bowie fan. Quick to praise the highlights of his subject's career, he is equally adept at pricking the bubble of pomposity that has often surrounded Bowie, exposing his coke-addled rantings and deriding the leaden Tin Machine.

Fascinating only because that's the nature of the subject.......2006-08-01

You seemingly can't miss keeping people spellbound with the topic of Mr. Bowie. But his book is littered with non-sequiters and Mr. Buckley's tiresome, and sometimes trite, personal theories on pop-culture and music. He states sanctimoneously at the start of the book that he will not write about David Bowie's personal life, then proceeds to give us plenty of that. His book is also very Brit-centric in how it sees pop culture (making his theories in that area all the more tiresome) and has some silly notions about America- like apparently the reason Let's Dance did so well was because it came out in the era of Reagonimics. Well, Chic did not need Reagan to sell lots of records in the late 70s. Buckley dismisses the Art-school dropout story on Bowie as myth, then completely bypasses the fact Bowie worked as a commcercial artist whilst breaking into the music business.
It's OK, if your a Bowie fan. Buy a used copy of this if you must have it and then check out Tremlett's books on the fascinating Chameleon of Rock.

Book Description

Trekkie popular culture responds to Star Trek as a myth that serves to forge a unifying social identity. Dr. Anijar explores this phenomena in light of the influences of television in children's lives, postmodern theories of teaching and learning, and the effects of utopian interpretations of Star Trek on teaching practice.

Customer Reviews:

interesting but comes a little late........2006-07-18

This book wasn't what I expected, so I can't say much. I suppose it is a welcome addition to the libraries of those interseted in social curriculum or criticism. But I was looking for something more pedagogical...uhhhh

I wasn't a big fan of Anijar's style. I felt like I was reading the sccript for the "Aristocrats" movie--minus the obsceneties. It was very annoying.

I think it comes a little late because I remember seeing a documentary on trekkies several years ago... Anijar said the same stuff... And it's kind of annoying. We know star trek has a huge (perhaps to huge) impact on the lives of a diverse crowd..."I never got a long with my dad until we dressed as Klingons...blah blah blah...Scotty was the reason I decided not to swallow that handful of babituates...yada yada yada..

In retrospect, this book kind of disturbed me: people are adopting a religion, a philosphy, a code of ethics based on a television show and I just don't get it.

Essential book for Curriculum and Culture Studies Scholars.......2003-03-29

Dr. Anijar's book is beyond brilliant. As a scholar who examines the aesthetic, political, economic, social, cultural, ethical dimensions embedded in curriculum (not as a document, but as an intersection of several very highly human processes that are ongoing and consistently in process) she gives readers a rich, textured view of how Trek teachers seek to define the world in which they live in and out of school-how Trek culture is embedded firmly within the Eurocentric canon and how Trek signifiers simply (re) present that canon.

Dr. Anijar infuses her entire work with an outstanding theoretical and conceptual framework utilizing Bakhtin, Baudrillard, Bourdieu, Foucault, Haraway, and Turkle. She creates oppostional pedagogies that educators can use to contest what occurs in our schools every day. Readers who look to this book as providing a specified curriculum utilizing Star Trek, you have missed the point. This book is a well researched, critical narrative on how we consume hyperreality, increasingly obscuring the modes of production and blurring boundaries.

Disappointing and under-researched.......2001-04-04

Apparently, this book (first published in 1994 as a Ph.D. dissertation for the University of North Carolina at Greensboro) is meant to be a study of the way teachers use Star Trek as part of their teaching curriculum. At least, that's the impression the title gives. Anijar forgot to write a foreword or introductory chapter, so for some time it's hard to tell exactly what she's doing. As a result, during the first few dozen pages, the book comes off as an academic version of the documentary film Trekkies: a freakshow of weird people (all school teachers) with weird beliefs. Though Anijar throws in a number of allusions to critics and theorists of the postmodernist persuasion, during much of the book she simply quotes people she interviewed, and asserts her own moral superiority and greater understanding of the social, political, religious, or racial matters involved. And sometimes she simply mocks the people she interviewed.

Granted, many of the people she quotes (if they're quoted accurately) seem worthy of derision. She quotes an alarming number of people who believe Gene Roddenberry was a great moral philosopher (and a few who believe he was sent by God or aliens). In perhaps the best and most useful chapter of the book, she looks at the subculture of fans who like to dress up as Klingons, join Klingon organizations, and pretend to be Klingons. Her discussions with several Klingon wannabes reveal that many of them are racists in denial. She compares Klingon dressup games to minstrel shows, pointing out that the people she talks to like to put on dark makeup and pretend to be aggressive, animalistic, and generally uncivilized. Anijar quotes one teacher who says that his Klingon character helps him relate better to his black students.

But the book is marred by poor structure, factual errors (mostly related to Trek, like episode titles, and so on), too many snide putdowns of her interview subjects, and insufficient reading in the subject matter at hand. For example, in the chapter about Star Trek and NASA, it's painfully evident that Anijar is unfamiliar with Constance Penley's book on the subject, NASA/TREK: Popular Science and Sex in America, even though she quotes two mentions of it. And though she refers to her book as an ethnographical exercise at a couple of points, she doesn't seem aware of the two classic Trek ethnographies, Textual Poachers: Television Fans and Participatory Culture, by Henry Jenkins, and Enterprising Women: Television Fandom and the Creation of Popular Myth, by Camille Bacon-Smith.

Is it a worthwhile read? For a cultural studies devotee who sees no need to respect people being studied or their preferred pastime, this is ideal. For academics interested in fandom, there are a few useful bits and pieces, despite the author's apparent lack of awareness of many key writings in the field. For Star Trek fans, it's another example of someone who doesn't know much about the show or its fans looking at some of the more extreme fans and making absurd generalizations and misrepresentations (and a painfully accurate criticism or two). For teachers interested in ways to use Star Trek as part of their curriculum, this book is a discouraging word, not a handbook.

Book Description

"Relive the pain and humiliation of high school" in the only companion books to the acclaimed, Emmy® award-winning TV show, just released on DVD for the first time in response to extraordinary fan demand.

Though only airing for 18 episodes, the Dreamworks Television comedy/drama Freaks and Geeks (NBC, 1999-2000) earned extraordinary critical acclaim, and developed a devoted fan base that fought valiantly to keep it on the air. Eventually fan demand (an online petition of over 35,000 names) convinced the studio to release the series on DVD.

Created by Paul Feig and executive produced by Judd Apatow (The Larry Sanders Show), Freaks and Geeks followed the Weir siblings—former math whiz Lindsay (Linda Cardellini of the Scooby-Doo feature films and ER) and her younger brother Sam (John Francis Daley)—as they navigated the perils and pleasures of a Michigan high school circa 1980. Lauded for its brutal honesty and very human characters, Freaks and Geeks combined smart dialogue and winning performances, and its plotlines rarely offered pat solutions to the characters' conflicts.

These unique script books allow longtime fans and first-timers alike to enjoy the writing behind one of television's most poignant and funny programs about high school, with introductions and additional material by the series' creators. 15 b/w photos.

This volume, volume 1, includes episodes 1-9 of the series. Volume 2, sold separately, includes episodes 10-18.

Finally!, The Scripts we've been waiting for........2004-11-19

First the show was cancelled. Depression. Then the DVD's were released. Elation! Now the scripts are finally published. Exaltation!!! A great television show first starts with a great script, and Freaks and Geeks was (is) a GREAT televison show and it all started with the great scripts contained in this collection. Starting off with Paul Feig's perfect script for the "pilot" episode, this collection shows why Freaks and Geeks has become the golden example of just how good a cancelled television show can be. The scripts contained in this collection, all display the sense of humor, agnst, emotional ups and down , truthfulness and most importantly, heart, that carried through every episode of the finshed, televised program.
These scripts are a must read for fans as well as any budding scriptwriter. Hell, these scripts should be mandatory reading
for all aspiring writers as well as any writer currently working in television, (unless you currently write for the Simpsons or Arrested Development..)

The latest reincarnation of this multimedia bible, written by the knowledgeable Tay Vaughan, is certainly worthy of praise. Despite the huge scope of the subject matter, the book's content is tightly focused on expanding the skills of competent technologists. It is most refreshing to find that, unlike in the case of many multimedia references, the author is both extremely knowledgeable and has the admirable ability of writing well and engaging the reader--two traits not universally apparent within the technical writing profession.

Utilizing a pleasantly anecdotal style and quoting the views of many important industry figures throughout the text, Vaughan makes a thorough presentation of the subject matter, although the American bias becomes somewhat obvious. A variety of communication media are discussed, from plain text to pictures, audio, sound, and their presentation on both CD-ROM and the World Wide Web. Although the author clearly prefers an Apple Macintosh, this book is suitable for PC users as well. It isn't application specific, concentrating more on concepts than on step-by-step solutions.

Jam-packed with strangely useful tidbits of information, this book is not for the absolute beginner, yet nor is it a vastly intimidating tome. The subject of multimedia is so large that one book cannot cover it in immense detail, yet this is as comprehensive and seminal as a single volume will allow.--Josh Smith

Getting dated.......2007-01-24

This has been one of the leading books for the field. Most useful in a advanced HS or College course.

However the material is becoming dated. Needs a newer focus on the new interactive media environment that integrates internet applications rather than thinking of the "web" and "multimedia" as two areas. They have merged!

The book publisher and author needs to study the fields using multimedia such as advertising and the ad agencies, marketing agencies, entertainment agencies, eLearning companies and functions, entire web sites based on interactive multimedia in large companies and so on.

Still has value but will need a lot of field experience to sift through what is current and what is just old history.

Great introduction to the world of multimedia. Being a beginner myself, I found the book to be both informative and practical. it is a great reference source and I heartily recommend it to anyone interested in a multimedia career.

I've got 3 words for you: OUT OF DATE.......2005-11-21

For a book that was supposedly published in 2004 (according to its title page) this book is incredibly out of date. For instance, in the internet chapter, it talks about dial-up connections more than it talks about DSL. It is almost like DSL is this brand new thing. It is not. It's been around for a while, most people, even colleges and K-12 schools, have some form of ethernet or DSL. They are beginning to develop cell phones, for cripes sake, that get internet. In fact, I have a cell phone that gets DSL internet! My professor has found many errors in this book. For instance, there were misspelled internet domain names. They mislabeled .tiff in this book. They did not go over the variations of most forms of software. This book does not mention the ipod. In the back, as some sort of scam to charge college students more money, they offer the 30 day trial versions of Macromedia Flash MX, Dreamweaver MX, Photoshop, among other things. These are all old, no longer made versions, ones that last only 30 days. You can download the newest trial versions for free from both Macromedia and Adobe online, CD-Rom free. If that's not bad enough, this book costs $66 in the school store. All that for a book that is riddled with errors and is very out of date. This book needs to be rewritten from scratch, all the errors corrected. It is just one more bit of d***ing evidence that textbook publishers are out to insure that college students are broke while they are rich. Salt Lake Community College needs to find a newer, better book from an author who cares more about the people stuck buying this thing than his Hollywood mansion. This book is awful!

Excellent introduction.......2001-12-25

This book presents a broad overview of the field of multimedia production. The book describes the field at large, explaining the concepts, rather than focusing on minute details of using particular software packages. Separate chapters are devoted to the multimedia "building blocks", text, sound, images, and video, and the various special characteristics of these media (such as formats and how compression techniques work). A typology of multimedia authoring software is developed, and brief descriptions of individual authoring packages are provided to exemplify each type. The accompanying CD-ROM contains evaluation copies of many of the packages mentioned (such as Macromedia Director, Adobe Freehand, and SoundEdit) for further exploration by the reader. The book also provides extensive coverage of the multimedia development process, from the roles of the members of a multimedia development team, to planning, costing, producing, testing, and delivering products. I have found the book to be quite successful as a textbook for introduction to multimedia courses. It would also be useful for anyone who would like to understand what the multimedia business is all about.

All in one reference!.......1998-08-31

This is THE book for serious multimedia producers and managers! Covers everything from hardware and software specs to design and production, to managing a project right down to final delivery in multiple formats and media. Read Designing Multimedia by Lisa Lopuck for novices and entry level multimedia producers. Read Multimedia Making it Work by Tay Vaughan for advanced and in depth material for the serious manager/producer. Would have been nice though if Macromedia could have kept there cd that came with the 3rd edition book in with the 4rth edition. I also reccommend the book Getting Started in Multimedia Design by Gary Olsen as a quick and comprehensive guide to designing multimedia and web projects.
