The case studies are contemporary and are constructed from first hand research with a number of international cruise companies providing a real world insight into this industry. Each case study is followed by questions that are intended to illuminate issues and stimulate discussion.The structure of the book is designed so the reader can either build knowledge cumulatively for an in-depth knowledge of managerial practices and procedures onboard a cruise ship, or they can ‘dip in’ and make use of specific material and case studies for use within a more generic hospitality or tourism learning context.

This is not a book in the normal book format. It is the story of the incredible Apollo 13 mission in 1970 told as if in real time in the form of imaginary social media posts written by the main participants and observers. The narrative is based on astronaut accounts, NASA transcripts of the astronauts' conversations with Mission Control and live broadcasts of the major U.S. TV networks covering the unfolding drama hour by hour. There is a list of major sources at the back of the book.Apollo 13 was a mission that gripped the entire nation and the world. It would test the courage, endurance and ingenuity, not just of three astronauts but also of the thousands of controllers, technicians and engineers back at Mission Control in Houston and across America.

What if there had been social media during the first mission to land a man on the Moon mission in 1969? If you were not fortunate enough to be able to witness the entire historic mission as it unfolded, this account will put you believably back inside those 8 dramatic and historic days. The unique social media format of the book allows us to experience all the drama and achievements as if we were following them live, and as if the participants were speaking to us directly in real time. The narrative is based on actual astronaut accounts, NASA transcripts of the fascinating continual communications with the astronauts, broadcasts of the all main TV networks covering the mission and the thoughts of many laypeople observers. The account also includes details that were not publicly available at the time, such as the secret speech to be delivered by President Nixon should the astronauts fail to return from the Moon. There is an extensive list of major sources at the end of the book.This is not a book, therefore, written in the usual book format. It is the story of man's first exploration of Earth's nearest neighbor, the Moon, told as if in real time in the form of imaginary social media posts by the main participants and observers. Although using the fictional (at the time) vehicle of social media, the book gives an accurate account of the historic mission, revealing what the people involved in, and those witnessing, the momentous events were thinking, doing and saying at each stage of the mission. The account covers the entire mission, from the tense build up and countdown to the launch to the heart-stopping descent to the lunar surface, the first moonwalk, the experiments on the surface, the journey back to Earth, re-entry, recovery and the triumphal reception back in New York.

On 25 May, 1961, President John F. Kennedy announced the hugely ambitious goal of sending a man to the Moon and returning him safely to Earth before the end of the decade.The president's announcement came at the height of the Cold War confrontation and it set off an intensely competitive race with the Soviet Union who desperately wanted to gain for themselves the huge propaganda victory of being the first nation to land a man on the Moon. President Kennedy's dramatic announcement galvanized the United States. There was just one problem: in May 1961, the United States' manned space program remained far, far behind that of the Soviet Union.In the months and years following the president's announcement, NASA threw itself into an intensively accelerated program in which they would attempt to launch 26 increasingly complex manned missions into space in a massive and hugely expensive effort to beat the Soviet Union to the Moon.This collection details all the NASA missions up to and including the first Moon landing, including moment-by-moment accounts of the particularly dramatic and historic Apollo 8 and Apollo 11 missions. These missions are retold in the form of today's social media platforms, allowing us to witness the unfolding drama of the missions as if we were following them in real time and as if the participants and observers were sharing their thoughts and actions with us directly.The narratives of these accounts are based on detailed recollections of the astronauts, NASA transcripts of the fascinating continual communications with Mission Control in Houston, broadcasts of the main TV networks covering the missions and the thoughts of many expert and laypeople observers of the time. There is an extensive list of major sources at the end of the book.

A Very Good Week

Lee and Pat have a very good week, and a very busy week. Every day, they visit some new and interesting place to explore and learn about.This entertaining new series of simplified, illustrated readers has been developed specifically in order to enable young children to learn to read by themselves, with only minimal help from parents or teachers.All the details in the book are revealed in language (words and structure) that has been rigorously selected to be as simple and understandable as possible for young readers.For example, did you know that just 25 most commonly used words make up about one-third of all words written or spoken in English? The first 100 most frequently used words make up about one-half of all written and spoken English. By the end of the 12-book Word by Word series, children will have learned the 1,000 most frequently used words which comprise more than 95% of all written and spoken English.The content of all Word by Word readers is based on extensive, diligent research into the most frequently used English words and structures. The key words and structures are presented gradually and systematically throughout the series. For example, all new words and structures are repeated at least 15 times subsequent to their first appearance in the series. This, together with the phonic emphasis in each book, ensures effective and rapid learning as well as maximum retention and comprehension. It is this very systematic control of vocabulary and structure that makes Word by Word graded readers unique.All the books in the series have been extensively trialed and repeatedly improved over a period of many years and are now proven to be extremely effective in building functional literacy in children of many ages and nationalities, including the author's own children.The series consists of 12 books in 4 levels:, Level 1Book 1: Lee and PatBook 2: Lee and Pat like to playBook 3: Lee and Pat go with DaddyLevel 2Book 4: Lee and Pat go to schoolBook 5: Lee has a friendBook 6: Lee and Pat like animalsLevel 3Book 7: A very good weekBook 8: Let's go shoppingBook 9: Pat's birthdayLevel 4Book 10: All about animalsBook 11: Our worldBook 12: All about peopleBy the end of the series, the child will have learned to read and understand all of the most important English words and structures.

When Men Walked On The Moon: Apollo 11: A Movie Screenplay

When Men Walked On The Moon: Apollo 11: A Movie Screenplay

Philip Gibson

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
2017
nidottu
On 16 July, 1969, 500 million people worldwide watched in nervous anticipation as the three astronauts of Apollo 11 set off to attempt the first mission to put men on the Moon.The aim of this screenplay, and thus, hopefully, the eventual movie, is to put us back in time and present the drama of each crucial moment of the mission as if we are part of that global audience and are witnessing the events in real time.In 1969, most people following the mission were well aware that there was so much that could go catastrophically wrong at any stage of the mission. The pilot of the lunar module, Buzz Aldrin himself, rated the chances of the mission being successful at only 50/50.There has never been a full-length feature movie made about the Apollo 11 mission. Now that the 50th anniversary of the first Moon landing is nearly upon us, wouldn't it be great if there were one? This is my modest attempt to instigate the making of such a movie.This screenplay is based on actual astronauts' accounts, NASA audio recordings of the fascinating continuing communications with the astronauts, broadcasts of all the major TV networks covering the mission, and the thoughts of many expert and laypeople observers.
