Taylor & Francis City Spaces Tourist Places Urban Tourism
Book SynopsisOver the last decade, commentaries and research on urban tourism precincts have predominantly focused on: their role in the tourism attractions mix; their physical and functional forms; their economic significance; their role as a catalyst for urban renewal; their evolution and associated development processes; and, perhaps more broadly, their role, locality and function within the context of urban planning. City Spaces â Tourist Places both consolidates and develops the extant knowledge of urban tourism precincts into a coherent research driven contemporary work. It revisits and examines the foundational literature but, more importantly, engages with aspects of precinct development that have previously been either underdeveloped or received only limited consideration, such as the psychological and socio-cultural dimensions of the precinct experience. Written by an international team of contributors it provides the reader with:* A comprehensive analysis of foundational theory and cutting-edge advances in the knowledge of the precinct phenomenon * An examination of previously underdeveloped topics and themes based on contemporary and ground-breaking research * Typological and theoretical frameworks in which to locate precinct form, function and experienceBrilliantly edited to ensure theoretical continuity and coherence City Spaces â Tourist Places is vital reading for anyone involved in the study or planning of urban tourism precincts.Table of ContentsSection 1 – Foundations; Chapter 1: Urban tourism precincts: engaging with the field by Bruce Hayllar, Tony Griffin & Deborah Edwards; Chapter 2: Evolution of the tourism precinct by Costas Spirou; Chapter 3: Places and people: a precinct typology by Tony Griffin, Bruce Hayllar & Deborah Edwards; Chapter 4: Theorising precincts: disciplinary perspectives by Simon Darcy & Jennie Small; Section 2 - Key themes and issues; Chapter 5: Urban tourism precincts: an overview of key themes and issues by Deborah Edwards, Tony Griffin & Bruce Hayllar; Chapter 6: Precincts within the urban form: relationships with the city by Ian Kelly; Chapter 7: The structure and form of urban tourism precincts: setting the stage for tourist performances by Christopher Krolikowski & Graham Brown; Chapter 8: Precincts and the urban economy by Brent Ritchie; Chapter 9: The tourist experience of precincts by Martin Selby, Bruce Hayllar & Tony Griffin; Chapter 10: Conflicts and politics in precinct development by Glen Searle; Chapter 11: Visitor/host relationships: conviviality between visitors and host communities by Robert Maitland & Peter Newman; Section 3 - Precincts in practice; Chapter 12: Precinct planning and design, management and marketing: an overview by Tony Griffin, Bruce Hayllar & Deborah Edwards; Chapter 13: Precinct Case Study 1 Grote Markt Groningen by Gregory Ashworth; Chapter 14: Precinct Case Study 2 Darling Harbour by Deborah Edwards, Tony Griffin & Bruce Hayllar; Chapter 15: Precinct Case Study 3 London’s ‘south bank’ by Duncan Tyler and Munir Morad; Chapter 16: Precinct Case Study 4 Sheffield City Centre by Kirsten Holmes and Yasminah Beebeejaun; Chapter 17: Precinct Case Study 5 Evora (Portugal) and Hoi An (Vietnam) by Graham Brooks; Section 4 - Lessons for theory and practice; Chapter 18: City places: tourist spaces – a reprise by Bruce Hayllar, Tony Griffin & Deborah Edwards.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Sense of Place and Place Attachment in Tourism
Book SynopsisPlace is integral to tourism. In tourism, almost all issues can ultimately be traced back to humanplace interactions and humanplace relationships. Sense of place, also referred to as place attachment, topophilia, and community sentiment, has received significant attention in tourism studies because it both contributes to, and is affected by, tourism. This book, written by notable authors in the field, examines sense of place and place attachment in terms of a typology of sense of place/place attachment that includes genealogical/historical, narrative/cultural, economic, ideological, cosmological, and dynamic elements. Dimensions of place attachment such as place identity, place dependence, and affective attachment are discussed as well as place marketing, place making, and destination management. Complete with a range of illustrative international cases and examples ranging from Santa Claus to the importance of place in indigenous and traditional cultures, this book reTrade Review‘This book substantially advances our understanding of human-place interactions and the nature of the human-place relationship in tourism research with implications for addressing various challenges facing tourism destinations in the world today. It should be required reading for social scientists, tourism practitioners and policy makers.’ Larry Dwyer, Visiting Research Professor, Business School, University of Technology, Sydney‘With great insights on topophilia and place authenticity studies, this refreshing book walks the reader through theoretical discussions on sense of place and place attachment and their relevance to humanistic geography and tourism, together with interesting examples and cases drawn from various cultures and contexts.’Bihu Wu, Professor and Director, International Center for Recreation and Tourism Research, Peking UniversityTable of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis The Routledge Handbook of Tourism Geographies
Book SynopsisThe Routledge Handbook of Tourism Geographies, 2nd Edition, offers a comprehensive re-evaluation of the recent developments; conceptual, theoretical and empirical debates; and critical issues in this field of study.Reflecting on and building from its original aim of rethinking geographical approaches to tourism, the volume explores contemporary tourism contexts and concepts, as marked by the present era of polycrises, setting out renewed and reoriented perspectives on tourism geographies into the mid-2020s. Across its diverse range of contributions, the Handbook navigates the complexities of tourism as a shifting construct, situating tourism geographies within the socio-spatial, economic and environmental implications of tourism, leisure and mobilities in the new contexts of global change, ecological transition and digital transformation. The volume aims to provide a nuanced and detailed analysis of established and emerging discourses and debates within tourism geogr

Taylor & Francis Encountering Nazi Tourism Sites
Book SynopsisEncountering Nazi Tourism Sites explores how the terrible legacy of Nazi criminality is experienced by tourists, bridging the gap between cultural criminology and tourism studies to make a significant contribution to our understanding of how Nazi criminality is evoked and invoked in the landscape of modern Germany. This study is grounded in fieldwork encounters with memorials, museums and perpetrator sites across Germany and the Netherlands, including Berlin Holocaust memorials and museums, the Anne Frank House, the Wannsee House, Wewelsburg Castle and concentration camps. At the core of this research is a respect for each siteâs unique physical, architectural or curatorial form and how this enables insights into different aspects of the Holocaust. Chapters grapple with themes of authenticity, empathy, voyeurism and vicarious experience to better comprehend the possibilities and limits of affective encounters at these sites.This will be of great interest to upTrade Review'By focusing on the nature of remembrance at sites located within Germany, Encountering Nazi Tourism Sites lends a fresh perspective to the emerging study of tourism that commemorates the victims and exposes the perpetrators of the Holocaust. Derek Dalton recalls both the immense bureaucratic apparatus that made mass murder possible, as well as the considerable challenges facing the institutions charged with presenting this difficult history to subsequent generations. His engaging prose recalls both infamous and more obscure locations on the itinerary of Holocaust tourism, showing how each conveys unique lessons – and runs particular risks – in efforts to educate visitors about the nature of state-sponsored brutality.'Professor Daniel P. Reynolds, Grinnell College, Iowa, USA'With his incisive new study, Encountering Nazi Tourism Sites, Derek Dalton once again pushes the boundaries of dark tourism scholarship, highlighting his unique criminological contributions to an evolving field. In his meticulous and eloquent book, he traverses multiple memorial sites, capturing their diversity, and unpacking their challenges, achievements and limitations with staggering clarity. In doing so, Encountering Nazi Tourism Sites eschews simple interpretations of Holocaust tourism and memorialisation, instead offering the reader bold encouragement to think beyond accepted accounts to provide a sweeping scrutiny of complex encounters. This essential book will move the reader with its sensitive analysis of the links between memorials and the foundations of remembrance that at their heart carry the terrible weight of death. Derek Dalton never loses sight of this significance, it drives his inquiry and is an issue carefully balanced throughout the pages of this extraordinary book. This is a searching, compelling and perceptive study of a difficult subject.'Rebecca Scott Bray, Associate Professor of Criminology and Socio-Legal Studies, University of Sydney, AustraliaTable of ContentsIntroduction: Surveying the Holocaust tourism memorial field in Germany. 1 Profane splendour: the Wannsee House. 2 The Topography of Terror: the foundations of Nazi rule. 3 Wewelsburg Castle: against an SS phantasia 4 The Anne Frank House/Museum. 5 Concentration camp tourism in Germany: two encounters 6 The Jewish Museum Berlin: encountering trauma. 7 Berlin Holocaust memorials: marking past atrocity in the space of the city Conclusion: Nazi crime-related tourism in contemporary Germany

Schiffer Publishing Ltd Fast Trains Worldwide
Book SynopsisThe quest for greater speed on the rails is almost as old as the railroad itself. In the 19th and in the first half of the 20th centuries, notable things were being done under the slogan Speed is the key: the famous Rainhill Trials of 1829; the 1903 speed test run, when an electric three-phase express railcar reached a sensational speed of 130.61 mph; the German Rail Zeppelin of 1931 and their high-speed railway network of the mid-1930s. In 1955, the French broke through the 186 mph limit with two electric locomotives. In commercial high-speed rail transport, the Japanese created a sensation just ten years later: They built an entirely new, dedicated high-speed standard rail track between Tokyo and Osaka, utilizing bullet trains, also known as Shinkansen. This book outlines the history of high speed locomotives from more than 20 countries representing Europe, Asia, Australia, and the United States, and is essential for the train and railway aficionado.
