Cultural Heritage Tourism and Circular Economy: Enhancing Identity, Visibility and Sustainability
English | 2026 | ISBN: 3032140811 | 488 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 70 MB
Recent trends in tourism have seen a decline in the traditional mass-consumption model, accompanied by a rise in a more segmented tourism to which local communities must adapt. The tourist is increasingly interested in the region as a source of material culture and nature and demands tailor-made holidays that match their specific expectations. Tourists moreover are increasingly well informed and aware of how they approach participation and what their social and ethical responsibilities are. Satisfaction must therefore be understood holistically, and that depends on the ability to offer alternatives in terms of greater enjoyability, pleasure and expectations.

Cultivating the Therapeutic Relationship in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

By integrating theoretical insights with practical clinical applications, this volume represents a pinnacle of psychotherapy integration. It is an essential resource for mental health professionals including psychologists, psychiatrists, and social workers as well as researchers.

Cu-Interconnects, Glass, and AI-Assisted Simulation for Chiplets and Heterogeneous Integration
English | 2026 | ISBN: 9819568900 | 566 Pages | PDF (True) | 73 MB
This book focuses on the design, materials, process, fabrication, quality, reliability, fatigue, fracture, and artificial intelligence (AI) assisted in chiplets and heterogeneous integration. Both principles and engineering practice have been addressed, with more emphasis placed on engineering practice. This is achieved by providing in-depth study on a number of major topics such as Cu interconnects, glass-core substrate, 3D heterogeneous integration of photonic IC and electronic IC, and combining simulation design with AI technology to effectively apply it to semiconductor packaging.

Critical Software Studies: Artefacts, Systems and Spectacle in the Age of AI
English | 2026 | ISBN: 1032973021 | 247 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 3.3 MB
This book is based around two key premises: all software is an artefact of human construct and all software shapes the behaviours of those who use it directly or experience its influence indirectly. With the rise of popular consumer-facing generative AI tools, never has understanding these two premises been more important or more obscured. This book explores the relationship between people and software as a relationship between a tool and its users.

Over the past decade, the security environment has undergone rapid transformation driven by climate change, geopolitical tensions, digitalization, energy transition, and AI integration. These shifts have created a new "risk reality" where traditional crisis management is insufficient, making interdisciplinary approaches and critical infrastructure resilience essential.

Cringe Humor on Screen and in Digital Media: Pragmatic Perspectives
English | 2026 | ISBN: 3031930010 | 367 Pages | PDF (True) | 14 MB
This volume is the first book-length study of 21st-century English-language cringe humor on screen and in digital media. The book includes quantitative and qualitative analyses of verbal and multimodal cringe humor by international linguists interested in its conditions of emergence and success. It examines the sociocultural variables involved in its reception and sheds new light on audience reactions-from alignment to disaffiliation and resistance to empathy. This book reveals that, while not unanimously championed, cringe humor thrives in the 21st century, drawing on its inherent ambivalence and leveraging the affordances of new media to navigate the post-politically correct ethical complexities of laughing at embarrassing behavior. With its cross-disciplinary, pragmatically grounded approach, this book will interest scholars and students in Linguistics, Media and Cultural Studies, and Psychology.
