Tourism and Public Policy provides a dynamic introduction to the processes by which government tourism policy is formed. Colin Michael Hall and John M. Jenkins present an account of the key factors which influence tourism policy making. Particular discussions include the effect of tourism organisations on policy, values in the tourism policy-making process, the role of interest groups, aspects of power in policy making, and evaluating tourism policy. A clear framework for the study of tourism policy is developed. The provision of chapter summaries, international case studies, a guide to further reading and questions for discussion make this an excellent introduction to the area.

Personalization of learning and instruction is the most critical issue facing contemporary education_not state testing or vouchers or even aging schools. Personalization is an attempt on the part of a school to take into account individual student characteristics and needs and flexible instructional practices in organizing the learning environment. This book presents the conceptual rationale for personalizing instruction, provides twenty working strategies to assist schools in redesigning themselves for personalization, and cites specific examples of personalization in the subject disciplines and in selected schools. This second edition expands the discussion on personalization, updates the sections on instructional strategies, assessment, and grade reporting, and cites new developments in the disciplines and in the schools.
