Unlike previous texts that have focussed on migratory patterns of
tourists and new mobilities in tourism, Tracking Tourists: Movement
and mobility is the first text to address tourist movement in from
a methodological angle in the post-digital era. It assesses how
movement and migration has been recorded in the past, how it may be
recorded and assessed now and the possibilities for exploring
movement in the future. Using international case studies that are
both current and historical, it explores the range of options that
exist for assessing tourists' movement, along with the relative
merits of each method. It will give a special focus to new
technologies that facilitate our understanding of movement, such as
the use of big data, hashtag scraping, Wi-Fi tracking, farming data
from mobile phone towers and cutting-edge GPS tracking. It
discusses the positive and negative consequences of the use of
these new technologies and tackles issues such as ethical dilemmas
and future trends and technology needs. Tracking Tourists: Movement
and mobility: * Serves as the definitive guide for understanding
the methods involved in understanding tourist movements and tourist
migration patterns' * Uses international case studies from around
the world, both current and historical to explore the range of
options that exist. * Gives a special focus to new technologies
that facilitate our understanding of movement.
This collection brings together perspectives drawn from a range of
international scholars who have conducted research into the
applications of neo-tribal theory. The concept of the neo-tribe was
first introduced by the French sociologist Michel Mafessoli (1996)
to describe new forms of social bonds in the context of late
modernity. This book critically explores the concepts that underpin
neo-tribal theory, using perspectives from different disciplines,
through a series of theoretically informed and empirically rich
chapters. This innovative approach draws together a recently
emergent body of work in cultural consumption, tourism and
recreation studies. In doing so, the book critically progresses the
concept of neo-tribe and highlights the strengths, weaknesses and
the opportunities for the application of neo-tribal theory in an
interdisciplinary way.

This is the first full scholarly history of how Victorian society coped with infectious diseases. Whooping cough and measles, scarlet fever and diphtheria, smallpox, typhus, typhoid and tuberculosis ravaged millions of families and made life desperately uncertain. Anne Hardy has drawn on a wide range of public health records for a detailed epidemiological investigation of the behaviour of the infectious diseases in the Victorian city. The Epidemic Streets represents a major advance in the historical study of death and disease in the nineteenth century.
This book, first published in 2006, is a detailed and authoritative
account of the last two centuries of the development of 'Western'
medicine, a tradition now important everywhere in the world. It is
written by leading experts who not only describe the most important
people, events, and transformations, but give explanations for why
medicine developed as it did, becoming as important as it has in
the modern world. It contains one of the first historical summaries
of the development of medicine after the Second World War. It is an
authoritative source of new information as well as a synthesis of
the current state of knowledge on this fascinating subject. The
Western Medical Tradition, 1800-2000 is a companion volume to The
Western Medical Tradition, 800 BC to AD 1800.
Salmonella infections were the most significant food poisoning
organisms affecting human and animal health across the globe for
most of the twentieth century. In this pioneering study, Anne Hardy
uncovers the discovery of food poisoning as a public health problem
and of Salmonella as its cause. She demonstrates how pathways of
infection through eggs, flies, meat, milk, shellfish, and prepared
foods were realised, and the roles of healthy human and animal
carriers understood. This volume takes us into the world of the
laboratories where Salmonella and their habits were studied - a
world with competing interests, friendships, intellectual
agreements and disagreements - and describes how the importance of
different strains of these bacteria and what they showed about
agricultural practices, global trade, and modern industrial
practices came to be understood. Finally, Hardy takes us from
unhygienic practice on fields and farms, to crucial sites of
bacterial exchange in slaughterhouse and kitchen, where infections
like Salmonella and Campylobacter enter the human food chain, and
where every cook can make the difference between well-being and
suffering in those whom they feed. This history is based on a
case-study of the British experience, but it is set in the context
of today's immense global problem of food-borne disease which
affects all human societies, and is one of the most urgent and
important problems in global public health.
