"This book deals with a variety of topics about inequality in the long run covering eight different countries in Europe and dealing with rural inequality before the end of the 18th century. Studies dealing with inequality in European societies have multiplied in recent years. It has now become clear that pressing questions about the historical trends showing both income and wealth inequality as well as the factors leading to an increase or drop of inequality over time, could be answered only by taking into account preindustrial times. Therefore, this book deals with inequality in the long-run, covering and comparing a very long time span, starting its investigations in the later middle ages and ending before the nineteenth century, the period that marks the beginning of most available studies. Hitherto, urban distribution of income and wealth is much better known than rural inequality. This book intends to reduce this gap in knowledge, bringing rural inequality to the fore of research. Since at least until the nineteenth century the majority of people were country men, looking at the rural areas is crucial when trying to identify the underlying causes of inequality trends in the long run of history. The book consists of nine original papers and deals with a variety of topics about inequality covering no less than eight different countries in Europe. The majority of the studies published in this book are the result of teamwork between European universities where a range of research centres are currently exploring different aspects of income and wealth inequality in preindustrial times." -- Provided by publisher.

This volume explores ways of thinking about and understanding economies, in the plural, as geographically differentiated phenomena. In contrast to the singular worldview of mainstream economics, economic geographer Jamie Peck makes the case for studying economic worlds, and lives, and transformations from the ground up, recognizing how place and situation really matter.

Die Tourismuswirtschaft gehört mit ihrem weltweit hohen Beitrag zu Wachstum, Wirtschaftsleistung und Beschäftigung zu den Leitökonomien im 21. Jahrhundert. Dabei verursachen Touristen und touristische Leistungsträger vielfältige räumliche Auswirkungen in wirtschaftlicher, soziokultureller und ökologischer Hinsicht. Das Lehrbuch analysiert diese Entwicklungen und die dazugehörigen Akteure und stellt Methoden zur Erfassung, Beschreibung und Erklärung räumlicher Aspekte der Tourismuswirtschaft vor. Im Fokus stehen dabei die Destinationen als zentrale räumliche Geschehensebene des Tourismus. Verfolgt wird ein anwendungsorientierter Zugang, um für Praxis und Lehre ein konkretes und problembezogenes tourismusgeografisches Wissens- und Methodenspektrum zu erarbeiten. Die Inhalte werden durch zahlreiche Exkurse, Praxisbeispiele und Abbildungen verständlich illustriert. This book discusses spatial factors related to supply and demand in the tourism industry, focusing in particular on "destination" as a key parameter. It additionally examines the application of methods native to economic geography in the tourism industry, such as actor and network analyses, site selection techniques, and map interpretation.
