William Lavell continues to raise awareness bringing to light the devastating effects of gambling on the individual and the rippling challenges it can cause to family and other crucial parts of our lives. A problem that is seldom talked about, gambling is often a hidden, secret sin; we've heard the phrase, "What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas." Lavell has personally witnessed the pain and tragic losses that accompany this debilitating disease. When we think of land mines, we imagine hidden bombs ready to cause great devastation if stumbled upon. His belief is that because of our human instinct of curiosity, we may see a glimmering building, with all its glamour, that can blind us to the hidden pitfalls of gambling lurking behind doors. He also believes that curiosity has led to countless innocent people succumbing or falling prey to the big draw of the casino's glimmering neon lights and its lure for riches. Many have been blinded by them and have staggered into the destructive minefields of gambling. In his book, he shares and brings to light what he has learned. Lavell's book takes readers deep through the dark stages and perils of gambling, unfortunately leaving a universal trail of victims. He believes no one should be left behind in the casino's mire without hope. His book helps point us to a path of hope and healing, turning tragedy into triumph and even emerging grateful over our struggle.

Not all integrated resorts are created equal. What are the essential components of a truly integrated resort? The answer lies in the key elements that allow a resort to achieve full integration. Only through this does an integrated resort reach its maximum potential. To achieve this, the principles of integration must extend beyond the resort's boundaries. “How I Built an Integrated Resort" is the definitive handbook that reveals the secrets behind successful integrated resorts. It distinguishes the genuine from the imitators. This guide outlines the blueprint for a robust IR industry and details the "who, what, why, and how" of the entire integrated resort lifecycle - from ideation, to planning, execution, design and implementation. Only then can it transcend the limitations of traditional definitions where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. This book is an essential read for: Integrated Resort Operators Government Policymakers Hospitality Developers Investors Academic Researchers Stakeholders in the Gaming and Hospitality industry

The U.S. city is undergoing constant change. In the East and Midwest, most cities were founded as trading posts on waterways. They boomed during the industrial era and reached their population peak in the mid-20th century, before suburbanization and deindustrialization caused them to decline in importance. Traces of decay were everywhere, and the prognosis for the future was conceivably poor. As Barbara Hahn shows in her book, this trend now seems to have been broken: Things are looking up again for the US city. Some of the former industrial cities have succeeded in structural change. In the south and west of the country, cities have developed into new growth centers. However, not all cities are benefiting from this positive development, and many continue to shrink at an alarming rate. As the author points out, similar processes such as neoliberalisation, deregulation, privatisation and gentrification can be observed in all cities, regardless of their location and level of development. Due to the large number of didactically prepared graphics, the book is suitable as a study read for students and scholars. The characteristics of the U.S. city, which are elaborated on the basis of current examples, as well as the illustrative photos also illustrate the change of the U.S. city to the interested reader.

This is the first comprehensive account of the development of consumer credit. Consumer credit is a vital force driving the development of our economic system. Rather than look at consumer credit solely as an economic phenomenon, Klein examines the social impact of the consumer credit industry within the framework of economic and cultural change. His analysis offers a concise examination of the industry from the perspective of marketing, the creating of material and experiential products, and the product distribution mechanisms. The discussion of changes within the bankruptcy structure accounts for the creation of overzealous consumer spending and the implementation of controls over individual consumer credit. This will be of interest to scholars or students concentrating in economic sociology, stratification, and cultural studies.
