Hotel Management and Operations
This newly updated edition is a compilation of readings, divided into nine sections, each examining a specific hotel department or activity. Each topic is examined through a variety of viewpoints on the duties, responsibilities, problems, and opportunities encountered there. Multidimensional case studies, taking a practical approach, challenge readers to identify the central issues involved in complex management problems, understand the structure and resources of the department in question, and find solutions that may help in managing other hotel resources and departments.
Analogical Reasoning in Law
This work tackles the most intriguing type of reasoning which one may employ within the field of law. In addition to the merits and drawbacks of legal analogy, it discusses the orthodox approaches to it, together with their critical analysis, also posing challenges that these conceptions have difficulty in managing. As an alternative, the book advances an account of legal analogical reasoning that correlates well with the division into rational and intuitive thinking that occurs in contemporary psychology. By doing so, many of the unique properties of legal analogy which have been traditionally associated with it and which have often been difficult to explain become readily understandable. Moreover, the very source of the almost mystical faith in power and infallibleness of such analogy is revealed here, while this faith—astonishing or not—not only escapes condemnation, but is shown to be warranted from a scientific point of view. Finally, the book also presents vast scope of application, premises, schematic structures and factors able to influence the force of legal analogy.
Describing Cognitive Processes in Translation
This volume addresses translation as an act and an event, having as its main focus the cognitive and mental processes of the translating or interpreting individual in the act of translating, while opening up wider perspectives by including the social situation in explorations of the translation process. First published as a special issue of Translation and Interpreting Studies (issue 8:2, 2013), the chapters in this volume deal with various aspects of translators’ and interpreters’ observable and non-observable processes, thus encouraging further research at the interface of cognitive and sociological approaches in this area. In terms of those distinctions, the chapters can be characterized as studies of the actual cognitive translation acts, of other processes related to the translation acts, or of processes that are related to the sociological translation event.

Wing Walking
"Did you ever see one of those air shows they put on at county fairs? A high flying act where a woman in goggles and overalls climbs from the cockpit while the pilot puts the plane through loop-the-loops and snap rolls? . . . You know the trick that keeps her from falling? She never lets go with one hand until she's got a firm grip on something solid with the other." The hard part for Marta Sinclair, heroine of the title story of Don Meredith's collection, is to discover what is solid, what illusory. This dilemma occupies Meredith's fiction. With a style pitched to the nuances of character and setting, the stories in Wing Walking move from California's posh suburbs through the small towns of...
