Mapping Tourism
ISBN: 9780816639557 / Angielski / Twarda / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. At first glance, the relationships among tourists, tourism maps, and the spaces of tourism seem straightforward enough: tourists use maps to find their way to and through the sites of history, culture, nature, or recreation represented there. Less apparent is how tourism maps and those using them construct such spaces and identities. As the essays in Mapping Tourism clearly demonstrate, the extraordinary interaction of work with leisure and the everyday with the exotic makes tourism maps ideal sites for exploring the contested construction of place and identity. Construction sites in the "New...

To Hell With Paradise: A History Of The Jamaican Tourist Industry
ISBN: 9780822958239 / Angielski / Miękka / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the course of the nineteenth century, Jamaica transformed itself from a pestilence-ridden "white man's graveyard" to a sun-drenched tourist paradise. Deftly combining economics with political and cultural history, Frank Fonda Taylor examines this puzzling about-face and explores the growth of the tourist industry into the 1990s. He argues that the transformations in image and reality were not accidental or due simply to nature's bounty. They were the result of a conscious decision to develop this aspect of Jamaica's economy. Jamaican tourism emerged formally at an international...

Tourism, Consumption and Representation: Narratives of Place and Self
ISBN: 9780851996783 / Angielski / Twarda / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book addresses the practices of consumption in tourism, a major theme in the sociology of tourism. To date, most tourism analysis has tended to concentrate on the production of tourist space, and assume that tourism consumption simply mirrors the intentions of the producers. By focusing on a number of relevant sub-themes, such as age, gender, religion and sexual orientation, the chapters within this book critically examine such assumptions in terms of the interplay between the production and consumption of tourist spaces, and how patterns of tourism consumption are negotiated on an...

Pubs and Progressives
ISBN: 9780875803357 / Angielski / Twarda / 374 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Inspired by the Progressive belief that the physical environment influenced moral behavior, late nineteenth century British brewers set to work reinventing the pub. They found ready allies among not only government officials, but religious leaders, social workers, journalists, the landed classes, and even the royal family. Surprisingly, these reform-minded brewers acted not only of fear of prohibition or nationalization, but, David Gutzke argues, out of a genuine belief in the possibility of social betterment. In the process, they sought to win respectability for the pub and attract a broader...
