Coastal Architectures and Politics of Tourism
This volume offers a critical and complicated picture of how leisure tourism connected the world after the World War II, transforming coastal lands, traditional societies, and national economies in new ways.

Politics in the Gutters: American Politicians and Elections in Comic Book Media opens with...
