"[A] valuable first-person account of the 9/11 compensation fund and its workings .engaging [and] emotionally rewarding." - The New York Times. "Surprisingly gripping .and candid. Feinberg's book is an effective reminder of the power of individual stories, told one at a time." - The Boston Globe. "As the head of the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund, Kenneth Feinberg was asked to do the impossible: calculate the dollar value of over 5,500 dead and injured in the worst peacetime disaster in U.S. history. What Is Life Worth? is Feinberg's personal account of the three-year struggle to compensate grieving families for catastrophic loss. It was the most harrowing experience of Feinberg's professional life. He became the filter, the arbitrator, and the target of family suffering. He learned that no amount of money could make the families and victims of 9/11 whole again. And most importantly, he learned about the enduring power of family, love, faith, and courage." - from the rear outer cover.

Hardback. Condizione: New. Within tourism studies, the cosmopolitan potentials of tourism have often been situated within a broader conversation about globalization, an approach that implies that cosmopolitanism is a predictable by-product of globalization and becoming more cosmopolitan should be the goal of travel. And yet a fundamental value of a cosmopolitan outlook-namely, to not only to be "at home in the world" but also to experience the world in an authentic sense-depends on the culturally embedded, parochial, and particular world views which it rejects. In Cosmopolitanism and Tourism: Rethinking Theory and Practice, contributors take this as a starting point. What does a "worldly" consciousness mean to people situated in different cultural landscapes and to what extent might these intersect with cosmopolitan values? How is cosmopolitanism marketed in tourism and tourist-related industries such as service learning and study abroad? And finally, what roles do social and economic class, educational background, gender, and other factors have in cosmopolitan claims? The contributors to this edited collection address these questions in a series of case studies that range from Guatemala, Bolivia, and Ireland to China, India, and Dubai.For more information, check out A Conversation with Robert Shepherd, author of Cosmopolitanism and Tourism: Rethinking Theory and Practice.…
