Sommario/riassunto

The First International Conference on Polyolefin Characterization (ICPC) held in Houston, Texas, in October 2006, was organized to fill the important industrial and academic need for a discussion forum on the characterization and fractionation techniques of polyolefins. These proceedings represent an excellent and up-to-date overview of recent advances in this important area, providing much information and facts that are not available elsewhere.The result is a collection of top quality contributions by experienced editors and international authors on such fields as separation and fractiona

Sommario/riassunto

Behind the Smile is an inside look at the world of Caribbean tourism as                seen through the lives of the men and women in the tourist industry in Barbados. The                workers represent every level of tourism, from maid to hotel manager, beach gigolo                to taxi driver, red cap to diving instructor. These highly personal accounts offer                insight into complex questions about tourism: how race shapes interactions between                tourists and workers, how tourists may become agents of cultural change, the meaning                of sexual encoun
