We’re here to help with that. Check out our advice for setting goals and sticking to them on page 40. Sometimes, new beginnings happen in difficult circumstances. Having a heart condition can change life as you know it, but it is possible to discover a different, yet still fulfilling, way of life. On page 37, Claire Marie Berouche explains how she managed to adapt after being diagnosed with heart failure, and we get tips from experts on how to do this.

Professor Federica Marelli-Berg is an expert on the immune system who recently became a British Heart Foundation Professor – one of our most senior researchers. What does immunology have to do with the heart, you might wonder. Well, research like this could help people, like Jim, who need heart transplants, reducing the risk of their new heart being rejected. The BHF spends more than £100m a year on research.

Their unfailing support and encouragement in my endeavours is greatly appreciated. Paul Cleave 3 Abstract The aim of this thesis is to examine the evolving relationship between food and tourism through the twentieth century. Devon, a county in the South West of England, and a popular tourist destination is used as the geographical focus of the case study. Previous studies have tended to focus on particular locations at a fixed point in time, not over the timescale of a century. The research presents a social and economic history of food in the context of tourism. It incorporates many food related interests reflecting the topical and evolving, embracing leisure, pleasure and social history, Burnett (2004).

  • Tourism and Gastronomy
    Tourism and Gastronomy In recent years, a growing emphasis has been placed on tourism experiences and attractions related to food. In many cases eating out while on holiday includes the ‘consumption’ of a local heritage, comparable to what is experienced when visiting historical sites and museums. Despite this increasing attention, however, systematic research on the subject has been nearly absent. Tourism and Gastronomy addresses this by drawing together a group of international experts in order to develop a better understanding of the role, development and future of gastronomy and culinary heritage in tourism. Particular attention is paid to the relationship between the forces of globali- sation, localisation and the use of gastronomy and to food as a source of regional and national identity, and a source of economic development. The first part of the book discusses important issues in the relationship between tourism and gastronomy, introducing the themes important to the understanding of case studies. The second part presents a wide range of case studies of gastron- omy tourism development, featuring development programmes, marketing activities and networking between tourism and agriculture. The case studies, drawn from a range of countries, including Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Italy, Scotland and Wales, are used to explore further themes, including intellectual property and sustainability Students and researchers in the areas of tourism, heritage, hospitality, hotel management and catering will find this book an extremely valuable source of information. Anne-Mette Hjalager is an independent consultant and contract researcher based in the Science Park in Aarhus, Denmark. Over the past ten years she has worked intensively with and for the tourism industry and she has keenly pursued labour market and innovation issues.
