Models and Applications of Tourists' Travel Behavior provides an overview of all possible approaches to modeling tourists' travel behavior, helping readers decide which theoretical approach should be chosen depending on the available type of data. It focuses on the connection between traditional travel behavior theories and tourist studies and introduces specific tourist contexts in travel demand modelling. It goes beyond the theoretical background of tourist travel behavior modeling and offers a practical understanding for choosing the right model and sourcing the right data. The book begins with the role of transport in tourist' travel behavior, then employs a literature review to establish the necessary background on the topic. It then goes on to describe theoretical approaches, descriptive approaches, and statistical approaches for modelling. It discusses choice models based on both Stated Preference Data and Revealed Preference Data. It concludes with chapters on machine learning

In applied linguistics, being explicit about ontologies of English, and how they underpin educational ideologies and professional practices, is essential. For the first time, this volume presents a critical examination of the ways in which English is conceptualised for learning, teaching, and assessment, from both social and cognitive perspectives. Written by a team of leading scholars, it considers the language in a range of contexts and domains, including: models and targets for EFL, ESL and EAL teaching and testing, and the contested dominance of native-speaker 'standard' varieties; English as a school subject, using England's educational system as an example; English as a lingua franca, where typically several languages and cultures are in contact; and English as broader social practice in a world characterised by unprecedented mobility and destabilisation. Readers are provided with a balanced set of perspectives on ontologies of English and a valuable resource for educational rese

Models and Methods in Social Network Analysis, first published in 2005, presents the most important developments in quantitative models and methods for analyzing social network data that have appeared during the 1990s. Intended as a complement to Wasserman and Faust's Social Network Analysis: Methods and Applications, it is a collection of articles by leading methodologists reviewing advances in their particular areas of network methods. Reviewed are advances in network measurement, network sampling, the analysis of centrality, positional analysis or blockmodelling, the analysis of diffusion through networks, the analysis of affiliation or 'two-mode' networks, the theory of random graphs, dependence graphs, exponential families of random graphs, the analysis of longitudinal network data, graphical techniques for exploring network data, and software for the analysis of social networks.

本書是一則結合冒險與語言學習的雙語故事，全文以英文與法文對照呈現，適合已能以母語獨立閱讀的孩子。Tom 和 Sophie 在前往祖父家的旅途中，各自懷著不同心思，直到他們發現祖父最新的發明——一台能穿越時空的機器。隨著旅程展開，孩子在故事中自然接觸另一種語言，不必逐字查詢，也能在重複出現的語境中理解新詞彙。插畫與對話框設計，為閱讀提供清楚而安心的引導，讓學習語言成為一次充滿想像的探索。The interesting, illustrated bilingual stories in Let's Read! language-learning books are written for boys and girls who are independent readers in their own language. Titles in this series are available in both English-French and English-Spanish editions.

Boys and girls soon discover that they don't need to learn every single new word that they encounter in the second language. As unfamiliar words reappear in the story's context, kids will pick up their meaning effortlessly, just as they pick up and understand new words in their own language. The parallel text, illustrations, and dialogue balloons on each pag
