Not only are the forces of economic, social, cultural, environmental and political change working to redefine rural spaces the world over, but broad global transformations in consumption and transportation patterns are reshaping leisure behaviour and travel. For those concerned with both the nature of change in rural areas and tourism development, the dynamics and impacts of integrating these two dramatic shifts are not well known but yet are becoming increasingly provocative discourses for study. This book links changes at the local, rural community level to broader, more structural considerations of globalization and allows for a deeper, more theoretically sophisticated consideration of the various forces and features of rural tourism development. While Canadian in content, the cases and discussions presented in this book can be considered generally relevant to any rural region, continentally and globally, that has undertaken or is considering rural tourism development. 410 0$aTourism and Cultural Change, No. 1 606 $aTourism$xSocial aspects$zCanada$vCase studies 606 $aRural development$zCanada$vCase studies 606 $aSustainable development$zCanada$vCase studies 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aTourism$xSocial aspects 615 0$aRural development 615 0$aSustainable development 676 $a306.4/8190971 700 $aGeorge$b E.

It is argued in the book that several of the most famous Greek mathematicians appear to have been familiar with various aspects of Babylonian "metric algebra," a convenient name for an elaborate combination of geometry, metrology, and quadratic equations that is known from both Babylonian and pre-Babylonian mathematical clay tab 606 $aMathematics, Greek 606 $aMathematics, Babylonian 615 0$aMathematics, Greek. 615 0$aMathematics, Babylonian. 676 $a510.938 700 $aFriberg$b Jo?ran$0756005 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910970871503321 996 $aAmazing traces of a Babylonian origin in Greek mathematics$94533137 997 $aUNINA
