There have been many innovations but one of the most important inventions of our time was the Internet. There is no doubt that the Internet had the greatest impact on our lives.The Internet has changed the way we communicate with each other, look for information, entertain ourselves and the way we do business. The Internet has come a long way and still evolves constantly and as fast as no other medium since 1966.Meanwhile, travel and tourism has become one of the fastest growing sectors. The growth of air travel after World War II favoured mass transportation to every destination of the world. Air travel is considered to be more comfortable and of course faster.The main objective of this book is to investigate the influence of the Internet on the travel sector and to examine the role of travel agents in this context. A critical review of the relevant literature was carried out including a questionnaire that was handed out to 50 respondents.The Internet is already part of our society and life as well as business ishard to imagine without it although it is a very young invention. As there is very little academic research on the topic, this book provides an insight on how the Internet has affected the way travel is distributed and what impacts it might have on travel agents in particular.; ISBN 9783836409575 , ISBN: 3836409577

Gott, J. Richard: Time travel in Einstein's universe. The physical possibilities of travel through time, Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 2001. ISBN: 9780395955635
Ein gutes und sauberes Exemplar. - Time travel in Newton's universe was inconceivable, but in Einstein's universe it has become a possibility. J. Richard Gott 111, a Princeton astrophysicist who is a leading researcher in the field, gives readers a guided tour of the potential of traveling through time. Joining scientists such as Stephen Hawking and Kip Thorne who have previously considered the topic, the delightfully refreshing yet scrupulously careful Gott charts new territory in exploring this exciting idea. Gott begins by describing how the finest science fiction about time travel has inspired some of today's top scientific ideas on the subject. He goes on to explain how travel to the future is not only possible but has actually happened (astronauts have aged slightly less than we whose feet have stayed solidly on earth), and he examines whether travel to the past might also be possible, given certain physical conditions. He then offers up his most stunning material: the study of time travel can be used to discover whether the universe could have created itself. Finally, asserting that no book on time travel would be complete without a report from the future, Gott predicts the span of human existence, based on a scientific technique he has developed. His conclusion is humbling but wondrous: just in the short time we have lived so far, consider how much we have already learned about the universe. ISBN 9780395955635 - , ISBN: 0395955637
