This book explores the multi-faceted nature of amber tourism, illustrating how amber, both a natural and cultural resource, has evolved into a tourist attraction. Combining theoretical insights with diverse case studies, the book examines the key factors shaping its significance in the tourism industry.It provides a deeper understanding of amber-related tourist attractions and motivations, along with a well-defined categorisation of amber tourism. It examines how amber tourism aligns with sustainable tourism principles and contributes to the branding of tourist products and destinations. This analysis is grounded in tourism research theories and enriched with case studies from the Baltic region and beyond.The book will appeal to students and researchers in sustainable tourism, tourism development, tourism management, heritage management, and place branding.

The physical properties of knotted and linked configurations in space have long been of interest to mathematicians. More recently, these properties have become significant to biologists, physicists, and engineers among others. Their depth of importance and breadth of application are now widely appreciated and valuable progress continues to be made each year.This volume presents several contributions from researchers using computers to study problems that would otherwise be intractable. While computations have long been used to analyze problems, formulate conjectures, and search for special structures in knot theory, increased computational power has made them a staple in many facets of the field. The volume also includes contributions concentrating on models researchers use to understand knotting, linking, and entanglement in physical and biological systems. Topics include properties of knot invariants, knot tabulation, studies of hyperbolic structures, knot energies, the exploration of spaces of knots, knotted umbilical cords, studies of knots in DNA and proteins, and the structure of tight knots. Together, the chapters explore four major themes: physical knot theory, knot theory in the life sciences, computational knot theory, and geometric knot theory.
