"Experiences are now viewed by many authors as being the core offering of tourism. As a result, increased attention has been given in the tourism literature to experiential perspectives in tourism, especially with regards to heritage tourism. However, there remains a lack of research exploring the experiential relationship between heritage buildings and tourism." "This book discusses the nature of experiences gained by international tourists from the heritage buildings in Hawke's Bay, New Zealand. Specifically, it discusses that a tourism townscape is not a passive space. Heritage buildings render the townscape an experiential space filled with emotion, mindfulness, engagement and personal meaning. These findings have important implications for destination promotion and product development and can aid preservation groups in their goal of protecting valued heritage."--Back cover.

Aleph marks a return to the author's beginnings. In a frank and surprising personal story, one of the world's most beloved authors embarks on a remarkable and transformative journey of self discovery. Facing a grave crisis of faith, and seeking a path of spiritual renewal and growth, he decides to start over: to travel, to experiment, to reconnect with people and the world. On this journey through Europe, Africa, and Asia, he will again meet Hilal, the woman he loved 500 years before, an encounter that will initiate a mystical voyage through time and space, through past and present, in search of himself. Aleph is an encounter with our fears and our sins; a search for love and forgiveness, and the courage to confront the inevitable challenges of life.
