Increasingly significant as mediators of spatial identity and meaning, leisure, tourism, culture and heritage are only now beginning to be located within the rapidly evolving discourses of poststructuralist geographies.Exploring the influence of leisure and tourism on the production, representation and consumption of landscape, the first half of this important book focuses on different ways of ‘seeing’ or representing landscape, whereas the second half examines different forms of productive consumption in leisure and tourism. Both symbolic and material spaces of leisure and tourism are also examined in relation to urban and rural landscapes, heritage landscapes, gendered landscapes, and landscapes of sexuality and desire.With a multidisciplinary approach and a strong theoretical content which builds on poststructuralist theories, this is undoubtedly an important addition to literature in the field.

This book uniquely presents an overview of methods for the numerical simulation of a wide range of two-phase flows, aimed at a broad readership of engineers and scientists at graduate level. Given that numerous methods have been proposed recently in this field, the new book series could not have been more timely and much needed for an up-to-date overview of the advances, whilst not restricting the focus on two-phase flows or any particular method. The book is written by a team of leading experts who have contributed substantially to the development of the methods and who have also applied the concepts and theories to a diverse range of applications.Computational Methods for Two-Phase Flows is self-contained, and aims to elucidate and analyze the strong relations between the various numerical methods, beyond merely giving detailed summary of the various methods. A unique enhanced feature of the book is that the sample codes that come with the book provide further benefits and ease of use to readers to implement the various numerical methods. The book is the first volume of a new book series entitled Advances in Computational Fluid Dynamics, published by World Scientific.
