The book ('Tradition in the Contemporary World. Janče: the Green Threshold of Ljubljana') deals with dimensions of tradition in modernity, as reflected in the half-urbanized environment on the ...northeastern outskirts of Ljubljana - at Janče with its surroundings. The author analyzes the concept of tradition, which is one of the core in ethnology and folklore studies, and presents its concretizations in the ethnographic field, especially its role in local festivals. She mainly focuses on peasant work and its ritual dimensions as well as on other types of heritage/tradition of rural environment. Heritage is not only positively valued by local inhabitants, but also represented in the idealistic form, thus creating rural idyll, attractive for tourists. Having a special value, it has become the means of invoking and preserving identifications with certain communities and the area itself, and is at the same time also used as an argument in general and sustainable development of the area.

Feb. 12--Did you ever daydream about actually moving to your favorite vacation spot? Marc and Pam Jance really did it. Three years ago, they left jobs, family and their Gladwin, Mich., home to live ...in Rarotonga, Cook Islands, and run the 16-room Paradise Inn. Now, they're waiting for you. "It's fresh and clean and tidy. It's not the Ritz, mind you, but you don't have to sell your mother to stay here, either," Marc Jance, 45, says via e- mail from the South Seas 6,600 miles away. "Some of the old- timers say we are similar to Hawaii before the war, lazy and quiet." A vacation leads to a business offer Rarotonga is in the heart of the Cook Islands, a group of atolls and islands spread across 850,000 square miles of the Pacific Ocean south of Hawaii and the equator. Its Maori people are related to Tahitians, and its climate is similar to Hawaii's. On a globe, Rarotonga is just a speck. No, it's smaller than a speck. How did the Jances find themselves there? It all started with Bora Bora, Tahiti, and a little trip they took. The parents of four grown children, they had always dreamed of vacationing in Bora Bora, and in 1996, they did. "After two weeks of heaven, blue skies, sunshine, aqua lagoon, warm sea breezes and the palms ...we were bitten," Marc Jance says. They started plotting how they could go back, permanently.
I've been getting a lot of e-mails saying isn't it time that Beaumont gets lucky. Melissa Soames does have his grandmother's seal of approval, which is a step in the right direction. That's the thing ...about writing a series. You get a whole group of characters in the background. In Long Time Gone, I put Ron Peters' kids in the foreground. The readers who've been dealing with them since they were little girls will see what they're doing now.
