The world is entering the Third Millennium in which great changes are expected in all areas of human interest, life, and activity. These changes have been brought on by past and present man-made events, which have had both positive and negative consequences. The coming millennium will be marked by significant social, political, demographic, and technological changes, and will definitely differ from the last century. The future will bring more leisure time, a higher standard of living, and a better quality of life for us all. Future Tourism Trends examines recent and the most probable changes and answers questions such as: Who is 'the new tourist' - if there is one - and what is she looking for? Is the new post-technological era transforming the very essence of travelling? The authors present a wide range of visionary insights, as well as operational takeaways.

Followership as a separate concept within leadership studies gained prominence in the 1990s and has evolved over the past few decades into an indispensable component of the discipline. Nevertheless, misunderstandings about followers and their relationship to leaders prevail. Exploring what it takes to be a follower is increasingly important in the current organizational, social, and political landscapes rife with narcissism, a seemingly acceptable leadership characteristic in the twenty-first century. Being a follower to a mercurial leader isn't easy - especially if they are an alien Time Lord who has lived for centuries in various body incarnations. Followers must not be passive, but full partners in the leader/follower relationship to enable them to reach goals and provide the skills and perspectives leaders need for organizational success. Requiring courage, the numerous and varied companions in the TV series Doctor Who provide a compelling and interesting example of followership from which we can learn to become better, more courageous, followers. By leveraging the intersection of popular culture, leadership theory, and followership theory, Courageous Companions offers an accessible new perspective for those who desire to gain a greater understanding of leaders and followers to transform their relationships and organizations. Exploring Effective Leadership Practices through Popular Culture aims to bring examples, theory and methodology of leadership to life by analysing academic concepts through popular culture examples that will appeal to a broad range of readers.

Engaging with sensitive topics is crucial for students to develop classroom and workplace resilience. These should be taught in a way that supports the acquisition of new knowledge, skills, and attributes, and that enables students to prepare for and thrive in their future professional life. Providing educators with a comprehensive understanding of the issues involved in teaching sensitive subjects and topics, this collected work invites them to consider their position and practice in the classroom, as well as the implications that this might for the learner and their learning experience. Presenting illustrative examples from the fields of public health, social care, psychology, social work, education, and criminology, contributors draw on the work of active academics and empirical researchers with extensive experience developing and designing relevant teaching activities. Recognising the range of sensitive concerns that staff may need to handle, chapters provide theoretical and practical guidance across a range of subjects, including cultural sensitivity, colonialism, faith and religion, homelessness, care experience, poverty, mental health, trauma, violence, and substance use. Rooted in actual practice, Developing and Implementing Teaching in Sensitive Subject and Topic Areas identifies the best methodology for creating learning environments that feel both safe and critically stimulating for all involved.

Der Bericht gibt einen zusammenführenden Überblick über die Ergebnisse des Projekts "Rechtliche und fachliche Prüfung von ausgewählten Fragen der Compliance Assurance auf EU- und auf nationaler Ebene". Ein erster Schwerpunkt widmet sich konkreten Unterstützungsmöglichkeiten der EU-Ebene für Vollzugspraktiker*innen im deutschen Umweltvollzug und untersucht, welche ähnlichen Aktivitäten auf die deutsche Vollzugsebene übertragen werden könnten. Zwei Begleitdokumente, die online verfügbar sind, greifen auf europäischer Ebene erstellte Fachdokumente heraus - eines zum Beschwerdemanagement und eines zum Vollzug im ländlichen Raum – und schaffen einen konkreten Einstieg für den deutschen Umweltvollzug. Der zweite Schwerpunkt des Berichts untersucht die Potenziale der Digitalisierung für die Verwaltung vor allem durch die Nutzung von Geodaten. Die Untersuchung gibt einen Überblick, welche digitalen Daten in der deutschen Umweltvollzugspraxis genutzt werden können und welche rechtlichen Aspekte Vollzugspraktiker*innen dabei zu beachten haben, einschließlich praktischer Anwendungsbeispiele. Aufbauend auf diesen Informationen entwickelten die Autor*innen praktische Handreichungen, die ebenfalls online abrufbar sind, und die Mitarbeiter*innen im Umweltvollzug zum raschen Überblick heranziehen können. Der Bericht endet mit übergreifenden Empfehlungen, die sowohl Aspekte der Vernetzung im Umweltvollzug als auch Potenziale der Digitalisierung aufgreifen.

"Knossos is one of the most important sites in the ancient Mediterranean. It remained amongst the largest settlements on the island of Crete from the Neolithic until the late Roman times, but aside from its size it held a place of particular significance in the mythological imagination of Greece and Rome as the seat of King Minos, the location of the Labyrinth and the home of the Minotaur"--

This Element shows the basis for pragmatics/(im)politeness to become intergroup-oriented to be able to consider interactions in which social identities are salient or are essentially collective in nature, such as Cancel Culture (CC). CC is a form of ostracism involving the collective withdrawal of support and concomitant group exclusion of individuals perceived as having behaved in ways construed as immoral and thus displaying disdain for group normativity. To analyze this type of collective phenomenon, a three-layered model that tackles CC manifestations at the macro, meso, and micro levels is used. At the meso/micro levels, problematize extant conceptualizations of CC -mostly focused on the macro level and describe it as a Big C Conversation, whose meso-level practices need to be understood as genre-ecology, and where identity reduction, im/politeness, and moral emotions synergies are key to understand group entitativity and agency.

"Intelligent laypersons are bewildered when faced with the complexity of climate change. Economics can give them a powerful tool to think clearly about the problem and to make up their own mind. The new-generation economics models are painting a radically different and exciting picture of the best course of climate action"--
