Environment and Tourism
For many people, holidays are an increasingly central feature of contemporary western society. The tourism industry has expanded rapidly since 1950, but this book poses the significant question of consequent environmental impacts: are environments being benefited or damaged, by the tourist who visit them? A well-balanced introductory text, this topical book on the relationships between tourism, society and the environment, examines 'tourism' and 'environment' in detail, and gives a historical overview of the growth of the tourism industry. It discusses how the tourism industry markets physical and cultural environments to be consumed by the tourist, and the consequences of the tourism they t...
Jehovah's Witnesses
This is the first major study of the enigmatic religious society. By examining the Jehovah's Witnesses' dramatic recent expansion, Andrew Holden reveals the dependency of their quasi-totalitarian movement on the physical and cultural resources have brought about the privatization of religion, the erosion of community, and the separation of 'fact' from faith.
Tourism Studies and the Social Sciences
Tourism Studies and the Social Sciences aims to provide students with a wider understanding of and grounding in the theories of the social sciences that tourism studies have been built upon.
Tourism, Poverty and Development
This book provides a holistic, explicit and detailed introduction to the relationship of poverty and tourism development within the context of developing countries. The book is divided into three distinct sections, progressing from an evaluation of the key concepts, the causal factors of poverty and how tourism is being implemented in policy and practice to reduce poverty, to the relationship of tourism and poverty in the future. The theoretical framework inherent to the text is inter-disciplinary, incorporating tourism, geography, politics, economics, environmental studies, development studies, sociology and history literature to provide the reader with a range of perspectives from which to explore the key issues of the tourism and poverty relationship. It integrates examples and original case studies from varying geographical developing regions including Latin American, Asia and Africa to show practical insights into tourism’s role in poverty alleviation. To encourage reflection on the main themes addressed and critical thinking, ‘Think points’, discussion questions and links to further reading are included in each chapter.

Makers and Manners
Moral decline or sexual revolution? How Westminster has come to terms with the permissive society The post-war decades have seen a revolution in moral behaviour. Changing attitudes towards sexuality, censorship and decent behaviour have meant that politicians have struggled to keep up. In Makers and Manners Andrew Holden argues that in the six decades since 1945 Britain has changed from a society in which public morality and the criminal law were rooted firmly in Christina doctrine and the sensibilities of late Victorian England, to one where the very existence of a public morality is questioned, and the laws governing the behaviour of individuals are affected more by the European Convention on Human Rights than by religious doctrine. He revisits the landmark court cases and changes to the law that have tested and defined the new moral order and examines the results for politicians and the public alike.
The Routledge Handbook of Tourism and the Environment
This handbook explores and critically evaluates the debates and controversies inherent to tourism's relationship with nature, especially pertinent at a time of major re-evaluation of our relationship with the environment as a consequence of the environmental problems we now face.
