Exploring the connections and complexities of the relationships between power, tourism and leisure, this volume combines theoretical and empirical writings to illustrate the extent to which power, in its various forms and guises and at various scales of operation, impacts on the unfolding structures, knowledges, practices and organization of tourism and leisure on both the demand and supply sides. It illustrates the extent to which studies of leisure and tourism have the ability to not only take ideas from the new economic and cultural geography, but also to make a major contribution to human geography as a whole. This is the first volume to explicitly consider how leisure and tourism act as a major focus by which power may be understood in a geographical context. It blends theoretical and empirical insights from established figures such as Crouch, Lew, Shaw and Church, and newer writers such as Cater and Lister.

This book argues that to understand wetlands is to understand human development. Using case studies drawn from three English wetlands, the book moves between empirical research and scholarship to interrogate how these particular ecosystems have played an essential part in the development of our contemporary society; yet inhabit a strange place in our national psyche. Chapters address a range of cultural and environmental wetland concerns. Consideration is given to: the ways in which we have revered, engineered and renaturalised these landscapes throughout history; English wetlands as spaces of beauty, creativity, reflection, rejuvenation and multi-species interactions; accelerating climate change in an age of neoliberalism. The final chapter then is a reflection on our collective lives together alongside other species, exploring what sustainability transitions might mean for human-wetland relationships.
