sociology of hospitality is further developed in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic in this book. By 'translating' this unfortunate conjunction into a series of research contexts entangled in recurring patterns of political violence, he skilfully explores the new conundrums of inhospitality. For anyone interested in studies of globalisation with an emphasis on unequal development and political violence, this is an excellent text to read." -Rodanthi Tzanelli, School of Sociology and Social Policy, University of Leeds, UK "The concept of mobility is renewed here with those key concerns that underpin contemporary tourism studies, including pleasure, travel and the co-creation of experience. The question of who controls the type of knowledge that is created and circulated during global crises is examined in the light of post-colonialism. Overall, this text forms both an introduction to studies of western empire and a new synthesis of the colonial narrative and economic growth in the aftermath of COVID-19". -Charlie Mansfield, University of Plymouth, UK This book argues that COVID-19 revives a much deeper climate of terror which was instilled by terrorism and the War on Terror originally declared by Bush´s administration in 2001. It discusses critically not only the consequences of COVID-19 on our daily lives but also "the end of hospitality", at least as we know it. Since COVID-19 started spreading across the globe, it affected not only the tourism industry but also grinded global trade to a halt. Governments adopted restrictive measures to stop the spread of the virus, including the closure of borders, and airspace, the introduction of strict lockdowns and social distancing, much of which led to large-scale cancellations of international and domestic flights. This book explores how global tourists, who were largely considered ambassadors of democratic and prosperous societies in the pre-pandemic days, have suddenly become undesired guests. Maximiliano E. Korstanje is Reader at the University of Palermo, Argentina and he currently serves as book series editor of Advances in Hospitality, Tourism and Service Sectors (IGI Global, US) and Tourism Security-Safety and Post Conflict Destinations (Emerald Group Publishing, UK). Babu George is Professor and Associate Dean in the School of Business, Christian Brothers University, a Lasallian Institution, Memphis, Tennessee, USA. . |

Sommario/riassunto |

From the reviews of the previous editions ".... The book is a first class textbook and seems to be indispensable for everybody who has to teach combinatorial optimization. It is very helpful for students, teachers, and researchers in this area. The author finds a striking synthesis of nice and interesting mathematical results and practical applications. ... the author pays much attention to the inclusion of well-chosen exercises. The reader does not remain helpless; solutions or at least hints are given in the appendix. Except for some small basic mathematical and algorithmic knowledge the book is self-contained. ..." K.Engel, Mathematical Reviews 2002 The substantial development |

effort of this text, involving multiple editions and trailing in the context of various workshops, university courses and seminar series, clearly shows through in this new edition with its clear writing, good organisation, comprehensive coverage of essential theory, and well-chosen applications. The proofs of important results and the representation of key algorithms in a Pascal-like notation allow this book to be used in a high-level undergraduate or low-level graduate course on graph theory, combinatorial optimization or computer science algorithms. The well-worked solutions to exercises are a real bonus for self study by students. The book is highly recommended. P .B. Gibbons, Zentralblatt für Mathematik 2005 Once again, the new edition has been thoroughly revised. In particular, some further material has been added: more on NP-completeness (especially on dominating sets), a section on the Gallai-Edmonds structure theory for matchings, and about a dozen additional exercises – as always, with solutions. Moreover, the section on the 1-factor theorem has been completely rewritten: it now presents a short direct proof forthe more general Berge-Tutte formula. Several recent research developments are discussed and quite a few references have been added. |
