Illicit and illegal markets play a substantial role in the global economy, yet have received little attention from economic geographers. This incisive, innovative book examines the spatial dimensions of hidden economic practices and asks how organized crime can be understood empirically and conceptually through a geographical lens. Going beyond stereotypes about gangsters, the book explores the role of spatially distant corporate, state, and criminal actors in such activities as trafficking and smuggling of drugs, people, and goods; counterfeiting; cybercrime; corruption; money laundering; financing of terrorist groups; and environmental crime. It suggests ways that a geographical analysis can contribute to improving policies and practices to curb organized crime at the regional, national, and global levels. ÿ
Sprachen: Deutsch, Englisch, Französisch Format: 22,3 x 28,7 cm , 208 Seiten Eine atemberaubende fotografische Ode an die Alpen. Nie gesehen Perspektiven und Ausblicke Mit spannenden Infos zu den abgebildeten Regionen und Bergen. Die Berge, eines der größten Meisterwerke der Natur, haben uns Menschen mit wilder Schönheit, atemberaubenden Gipfelpanoramen, klarer Luft, grünen Almen, eisigen Bergseen und mächtigen Gletschern von jeher in ihren Bann gezogen. Einen Berg zu besteigen oder seine majestätische Pracht zu bestaunen, lässt uns innehalten, nachdenken und vielleicht sogar ein wenig gelassener werden. Der Fotograf Tim Hall fängt den kraftvollen Trost, der aus den Bergen spricht, auf wunderbare Weise ein. Die oft spektakulären Wetterbedingungen, unter denen er fotografiert, lassen seine Arbeit und die Berge vor der Kamera noch gewaltiger und überweltlicher erscheinen. In vielen seiner Landschaftsaufnahmen inspiriert von Mark Rothko und William Turner ist die Absicht, eine emotionale oder geistige Saite anzuschlagen, unübersehbar. "Mountains. Beyond the Clouds" präsentiert den gesamten Alpenkamm, darunter so berühmte Wahrzeichen wie den Mont Blanc, das Matterhorn und die Dolomiten.
