Los procesos comerciales en la industria de la hostelería, como toda industria en la actualidad, están atravesados por las nuevas tecnologías que aportan rapidez, eficiencia y posibilidad de control al ámbito de la gestión. La industria del turismo, y en especial todo lo relacionado con el hospedaje y la alimentación del viajero, se mueve con una fuerte dinámica, y la rapidez de la respuesta es uno de los aspectos prioritarios junto con la necesidad de lograr la total satisfacción de las demandas tanto de clientes como de proveedores. En todos estos procesos, las tecnologías de la información (TI), los sistemas de información (IS) y los sistemas de gestión de la información (MIS) son la herramienta clave en el éxito de los procesos vinculados tanto en las operaciones diarias como en la planificación. Este libro, dirigido tanto a estudiantes como a profesionales vinculados a la hostelería, es el resultado de una colaboración entre autores que han vivido las situaciones que se plantean en él. Cada capítulo cuenta con entrevistas a líderes de la industria en las que se reconocen casos concretos de aplicación de tecnología en la hostelería. Sin dudas, las nuevas tecnologías ofrecen un mayor número de oportunidades tanto a gerentes como a clientes; desde hacer una reserva a través de una aplicación, hasta la experimentación de un servicio mediante recursos tecnológicos de realidad aumentada. De ahí la importancia, necesidad y pertinencia de este libro, que alcanza con esta su tercera edición, primera en español.

We are living in a critical moment, a reality marked by environmental and socio-economic limits that requires innovative and realistic forms of action and planning. This is what regenerative urbanism proposes, a new approach based on utopian pragmatism that seeks to restore balance to the urban territory by designing systems that allow it to adapt and transform. It is a methodology that defines models that do not consume available resources, but rather generate new ones that ensure compatibility between economic and social prosperity and nature. Santander, Hábitat Futuro (Santander, Future Habitat) is the city model created from this methodology, a proposal for the transformation of this city for the year 2055. It is an open model based on innovation and citizen participation that prepares and adapts the territory for the different scenarios to come. Santander, Habitat Futuro is a guide that directs the commitment of the different social, economic and political agents towards a common goal: to achieve a circular, sustainable, resilient, vertebrate, prosperous, vital and inclusive city. A model that, due to its innovative nature, can serve as an example to other intermediate cities around the world.

Despite the flurry of research on aspects of Phoenician culture, encompassing their socio-economic developments and the mechanics of their settlement of Mediterranean coastal lands, the fundamental issue of dating Phoenician achievements remains quite fluid. A range of criteria - textual sources, artefact analysis, stratigraphic data, and, increasingly, radiocarbon readings - provide a bewildering and sometimes conflicting picture of Phoenician chronology, which, in many respects, remains tenuous and free-floating. Owing to the nature of Phoenician colonisation, its chronology is often compartmentalised into discrete regional units. This volume brings together a number of essays focusing squarely on the chronology of the Phoenician-Punic world, ranging from the homeland to the western settlements. The essays are written by specialists in their field, who have encapsulated the chronological framework, and the problems therein, for regions touched by Phoenicians interests. A benchmark study, Beyond the Homeland will be of value not only to Phoenician-Punic scholars, but also to those in related fields who need an accessible study (in English) to navigate the chronological complexities of the field.

Malnutrition caused by deficiencies of vitamins and minerals - also called hidden hunger - impairs both the intellectual and physical development of a child. Due to the absence of clinical symptoms and assessments, no intervention can be staged. The tragedy is that this, in turn, decreases the child’s chance to escape from poverty. This book looks at malnutrition in high-income countries, the nutrition transition and nutritional deficiencies in low-income countries, consequences of hidden hunger, and interventions to improve nutrition security. Written by leading experts in the field, it clearly stresses that national governments and international organizations must make malnutrition one of their top priorities in order to provide children with optimal conditions for a healthy future.
