THE TRUE WEALTH MINDSET

&ldquo;A fascinating read . . . The story that emerges is thought-provoking. . . . Gertrude&rsquo;s legacy makes easy parallels to the present, from world powers trying to determine the political shape of the Middle East to women&rsquo;s struggles to be taken seriously by male colleagues. In&#160;A Woman in Arabia, she faces it all with humor, passion, and candor; even a century on, she&rsquo;s a woman worth knowing.&rdquo; &mdash;NPR.org&ldquo;[A] well-chosen selection from [the] letters and memoirs [of] one of the most remarkable figures of the late 19th and early 20th century . . . Bell might be regarded as the much happier, female equivalent of T. E. Lawrence, who knew and admired her.&rdquo; &mdash;The Washington Post&ldquo;I hope this collection of Bell&rsquo;s&#160;prose, more than the upcoming film by Werner Herzog, stirs up controversy about her time as an archaeologist and spy and spearhead of post-WWI British policy in the Middle East, the effects of which can still be felt today.&rdquo; &mdash;Jonathan Sturgeon, Flavorwire&rsquo;s &ldquo;10 Must-Read Books for August&rdquo;&ldquo;Luckily for those of us who are unfamiliar with Gertrude Bell, there comes&#160;A Woman in Arabia . . . a collection of Bell in her own words, helpfully annotated.&rdquo; &mdash;The Daily Beast&ldquo;Bell&rsquo;s letters . . . are as rich in ethnographic detail as any of the great nineteenth-century European travelogues, but chattier&mdash;devoid of the heroic rhetoric of T. E. Lawrence&rsquo;s Seven Pillars of Wisdom. . . . [They] capture both her charisma and the intensely social character of her time in the Middle East. Like the State Department cables released by WikiLeaks in recent years, Bell&rsquo;s archive of correspondence is a reminder of the daily disorder obscured by other political documents: maps, treaties, bulletins.&rdquo; &mdash;The New Yorker&ldquo;A fascinating glimpse at [Bell&rsquo;s] larger-than-life personality . . . Timely and timeless . . . The genius of this collection is letting Bell tell her story in her own words&mdash;just as her fiercely independent spirit would have wanted. Impossible to put down, the book reads a bit like a travelog, part humorous wit and part educational lecture, allowing the reader an in-depth look at the life of a true heroine and the time period she inhabited and conquered. . . . A must-have for every library.&rdquo; &mdash;Library Journal, starred review&ldquo;An impressive anthology . . . Howell brings the &lsquo;female Lawrence of Arabia&rsquo; to life through judicious selections from Bell&rsquo;s massive public writings and personal papers. . . . Bell comes across as a compassionate, erudite quasi-diplomat worthy of great admiration.&rdquo; &mdash;Kirkus Reviews &ldquo;Tantalizing . . . Fascinating . . . Bell&rsquo;s own words showcase . . . a personality and intellect that glittered like the sun-drenched Arabian sands. . . . Readers will accompany her on some of her most daring exploits. . . . This is a nifty little volume that illuminates a remarkable life.&rdquo; &mdash;Publishers Weekly&ldquo;Her letters are exactly herself&mdash;eager, interested, almost excited. . . . She kept an everlasting freshness; or at least, however tired she was, she could always get up enough interest to match that of anyone who came to see her. I don&rsquo;t think I ever met anyone more entirely civilized, in the sense of her width of intellectual sympathy.&rdquo; &mdash;T. E. Lawrence

'Set in the vast, mysterious spaces of the Camargue, where a man can stand and 'observe hordes of creatures that were unknown to him' ... this is a sophisticated mystery and a character study of the detective' Times Literary Supplement.

A Commandant Michel De Palma Investigation

The Beast of the Camargue

"Können Geschichten über Wirtschaftswissenschaftler und ihre Theorien anschaulich, spannend und unterhaltsam sein? Spätestens der Film "A Beautiful Mind" über den Mathematiker und Ökonomen John Nash hat bewiesen, dass dies möglich ist. Mit einer Mischung aus etwas Theorie und viel Unterhaltung füllte er die Kinosäle und gewann 2002 einen Oscar. Hans Putnoki und Bodo Hilgers nutzen für ihr Buch "Große Ökonomen und ihre Theorien" eine ähnliche Mischung. Sie stellen die wichtigsten Wirtschaftstheorien chronologisch vor, schenken dabei aber nicht nur dem wissenschaftlichen Schaffen der Ökonomen Beachtung." (Handelsblatt, 24.08.07) - Nominiert für den deutschen Wirtschaftsbuchpreis 2007 "... Eine leicht verständliche Abhandlung über die Großen der Zunft... Die Autoren stellen die großen Ökonomen aus Vergangenheit und Gegenwart in chronologischer Reihenfolge vor; vom 1723 geborenen Adam Smith bis zu den Nobelpreisträgern des Jahres 2005, Thomas C. Schelling und Robert J. Aumann. Ein Nachschlagewerk für all jene also, die nachlesen möchten, wie es wirklich war mit Friedman, Leontief und Coase... Es zielt auf jene Leser, die sich einen Überblick verschaffen wollen über die Geschichte des ökonomischen Denkens. Und diese Leser sind gut aufgehoben..." (F.A.Z., 16.07.07) "...Den Autoren gelingt ein guter Überblick über Leben und Werk der großen Wirtschaftstheoretiker, doch sind die Kapitel zu den einzelnen Persönlichkeiten zu kurz  geraten - man hätte gerne mehr gelesen, was für das Buch spricht. Jedem Kapitel sind aber weiterführende Literaturtipps angefügt." (Der Standard, 2.4.07) "...Die Autoren schaffen es auf witzige und anschaulicheArt und Weise, dem Leser, ohne ins Lächerliche abzugleiten, die ökonomischen Theorien und Schulen nahezubringen und wieder ins Gedächtnis zu rufen. Wer also sein Wissen wieder auffrischen will oder ein intelligentes Geschenk sucht, ist mit diesemSchmöker bestens bedient." (Börsen-Zeitung, 28.02.07) "...Es werden nicht nur die Wissenschaftler und ihre Theorien dargestellt, sondern auch wichtige Begriffe und Gesetze werden mit wenigen Sätzen, für jedermann nachvollziehbar, definiert. Die Darstellung wird aufgelockert durch Karikaturen, die die Theorien auf witzige Weise in Bilder fassen. Am Ende jedes Abschnitts finden sich wichtige Werke und Literaturtipps zusammengefasst....Wer gerne bei wirtschaftlichen Themen mitreden möchte, aber bisher die trockende Materie scheute, dem sei das Buch ausdrücklich empfohlen." (webcritics.de, 27.02.07) "... Fazit: Das Buch eignet sich aufgrund seiner originellen und kurzweiligen Darstellungsform bereits als Lektüre während der ersten Semester." (Studium. Buchmagazin für Studierende, Nr.80/Sommersemester 2007) "...Dabei werden die wichtigsten Werke und vor allem Ideen zusammengefasst, sodass dem Leser nicht nur biographische Häppchen, sondern die zentralen Gedanken der Volkswirtschaftslehre präsentiert werden. Und dies alles in einer Sprache, die sich gezielt an den Laien wendet und daher eine leicht verständliche Lektüre ermöglicht..." (SchulBank, 08/2007) "Wissen Sie, wer den Begriff der Unsichtbaren Hand erfand, was das Gossen'sche Gesetz besagt oder den Namen des Ökonomen, der sich einbalsamiert in einem Londoner College aufstellen ließ? Nein? In Hans Putnokis und Bodo Hilgers Buch "Große Ökonomen und ihre Theorien" ist das alles genau erklärt... Das Buch ist geeignet für Leser, die sich einen Überblick über die Geschichte des ökonomischen Denkens verschaffen wollen, aber auch als Nachschlagewerk, etwa um einzelne Ökonomen in ihrer Zeit, gesellschaftlichen Gedankenwelt und Umwelt einordnen zu können. (Wiener Zeitung, 16.10.07) "...Das Buch bietet einen Einblick in die Vielfalt der Wirtschaftstheorien und man beginnt zu begreifen, dass die Wahrheit von heute immer auch der Irrtum von morgen ist. Eine gute Lektüre als Überblick zur Geschichte des ökonomischen Denkens und als Nachschlagewerk..." (existenzielle, Nr.4/2007) "...Das ausgewogene Verhältnis von kreativ gestalteten Cartoons, erläuternden Texten und Fotos der jeweiligen Personen macht dieses Buch sehr abwechslungsreich. Es ist trotz seines intellektuell hohen Anspruches so geschrieben, dass auch ein volkswirtschaftlich interssierter Laie es gut verstehen kann. Die anschaulichen Beiträge eignen sich dabei sowohl für einen schnelleren Einstieg als auch für eine weiterführende Auseinandersetzung mit ökonomischen Zusammenhängen." (Ökologisches Wirtschaften, Nr. 4/2007) "...Auf 274 Seiten führen sie den Leser durch das Wirtschaftswunderland, in dem Theorien aus Vergangenheit und Gegenwart aufblinken und verblassen, verblassen und aufblinken, sich widersprechen, modifizieren, frei nach dem Motto: "Gut gebrükllt, Löwe!" Die Autoren verstehen es, den Leser Spannung zu halten, auch mit Anekdoten aus dem Leben der Ökonomen wie beispielsweise Jeremy Bentham, der sich ausstopfen ließ und noch immer im Hallengang des University College London in einer Glasvitrine (übrigens seit 1832) sitzt. Eingestreute Episoden wie auch themenbezogene Comics heben das Buch aus der Fülle von ökonomischen Einführungswerken heraus, wie die "unsichtbare Hand" von Adam Smith zeigt. Dieses Werk ist nicht nur zu empfehlen, es ist ein Muss in einer von Wirtschaft durchtränkten Zeit, in welcher jeder Berufene oder Unberufene von sich glaubt, die Ökonomie gepachtet zu haben."

“This is a well-written and rewarding book which offers an intriguing insight not only into the world of tour guides, but also into the kinship between anthropology and tour guiding. It will be of interest to anthropologists of tourism, as well as to those with an interest in the cultures of globalization and cosmopolitanism.”  ·  Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute

	“Envisioning Eden summarises a number of major scholarly discussions, brings them into a fruitful dialogue with ethnographic details, and provides a theoretical roadmap for further investigations of various kinds of mobility and encounters with cultural Others. This volume is highly recommended for students and scholars interested in tourism, globalization, and mobility studies, as well as for scholars with a regional focus on Indonesia or Tanzania.”  ·  Social Anthropology/Anthropologie sociale

	"Salazar’s study provides an interesting, innovative and fresh approach to local-to-global dynamics. The strength of the book is its richness in terms of theoretical thinking; Salazar manages to address complex issues in an engaging way and the book contributes much to the theoretical discussions which it tackles"  ·  Ethnos

	“It is a well written book, surprisingly easy to follow, it might attract readers from outside the tourism research community and possibly from outside academia. Using a lot of travel metaphors, playing with words according to the subject makes a linguistically attractive text.”  ·  Anthropos

	“[This volume] it is arguably the best ethnography of tour guide training and performance available, certainly in the context of less-developed nations…This is a very well-written book and, like all good guides, Salazar uses storytelling well to convey his arguments to the reader. The volume is also well illustrated with the author’s own photographs…Salazar draws upon a raft of new theoretical material and research to inform his perspectives, which provides for solid analysis, stimulating discussion and a good springboard for researchers looking to explore similar themes. The writing also benefits from his rigorous fieldwork and own personal experiences. Salazar brings a passion to his work, which makes for an interesting and valuable contribution…[Edward Bruner’s foreword is] an unexpected delight.”  ·  International Journal of Heritage Studies

	 “[The book] offers a very compelling insight into how tourism imaginaries have become global …It makes a very significant contribution to the study of tourism, particularly in terms of the relatively understudied role of guides in the circulation of ‘national’ and ‘international’ imaginaries. I strongly recommend this book to scholars across all academic disciplines who are interested in the intricacies of tourism imaginaries and their interaction with ‘glocal’ forces. This book will encourage them to look further into this area from their own disciplinary platform.”  ·  Journal of Heritage Tourism

	"Salazar is an anthropologist... The central themes of his argument involve explorations of 'glocalization' and the creation and manipulation of 'imaginaries', a particularly valuable and exportable interdisciplinary concept... The author moves beyond his own comfort zones, and generally there is much to be learned from his meticulous research and exposition... [T]here is a great deal here to inform and stimulate."  ·  New Global Studies

	"The strength of this work lies in the close following of apprentice tour guides and the attempt to capture their appropriation of apparently universal tourist fantasies in narrative frames... the exploration of tour guides as a paradigm for a glocal imperative."  ·  H-Net Reviews

	"I am very impressed with this book. It is the best ethnography of tour guide training and performance to date. Indeed its probing analyses and its many comments make a great contribution to our understanding of contemporary international and intercultural tourism. It is very well written and superbly referenced."  ·  Nelson Graburn, Professor Emeritus, University of California, Berkeley
	
	"This is a lively and enjoyable book based on rigorous research which highlights the power and persuasiveness of international tourism while, at the same time, critically, it reminds us that tourism is ultimately about people and their stories."  ·  Mike Robinson, Director, Centre for Tourism and Cultural Change

	"This book is the reference for tourism imaginaries academia was waiting for. Based on excellent ethnographic work that disentangles 'glocal' issues, it demonstrates that globalization divides the planet as much as bringing it together. Tourism and the encounters it generates are pertinently analyzed as central pieces of the new anthropology of glocalization."   ·  Maria Gravari-Barbas, Director IREST, UNESCO Chair: Culture-Tourism-Development

	"Noel Salazar's contribution to understanding globalization and localization processes is informed and persuasive, using tourism-the phenomenon which has turned our world into a global village-to illuminate, par excellence, the resulting intersects, overlaps, and especially clashes now dominating our shared history."  ·  Jafar Jafari, Founding Editor, Annals of Tourism Research
	
	"...a clear, well-organized interesting piece of original research on two exceptionally interesting and productively comparable destinations. It is well placed within the tourism studies literature."   ·  Sally Ann Ness, Professor, University of California, Riverside
