Elgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in a given
area. Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject
in provocative ways, and map out the potential directions of
travel. They are relevant but also visionary. This timely Research
Agenda moves beyond classic approaches that consider the
relationship between heritage and tourism either as problematic or
as a factor for local development, and instead adopts an
understanding of heritage and tourism as two reciprocally supported
social phenomena that are co-produced. Chapters draw on case
studies from Europe, North America and Asia, offering important
insights on heritage consumption, hypercommodification, war
tourism, dissonant heritage, decolonizing heritage and the rising
importance of the digital world of tourism. The book commences with
a global overview on the changing paradigm of heritage tourism,
before focusing on heritage and tourism at different scales and the
impacts of globalization on heritagization. It also examines the
political nature of tourism heritage construction and the
experiential turn of heritage tourism practices. An invigorating
read for students and scholars of tourism and heritage studies,
this book offers a multitude of suggestions for pathways for future
research. It is also a timely read for those working with heritage

There lived a girl named Petra PeƱa, who wanted nothing more than
to be a storyteller, like her abuelita. But Petra's world is
ending. Earth has been destroyed by a comet, and only a few hundred
scientists and their children - among them Petra and her family -
have been chosen to journey to a new planet. They are the ones who
must carry on the human race. Hundreds of years later, Petra wakes
to this new planet - and the discovery that she is the only person
who remembers Earth. A sinister Collective has taken over the ship
during its journey, bent on erasing the sins of humanity's past.
They have systematically purged the memories of all aboard - or
purged them altogether. Petra alone now carries the stories of our
past, and with them, any hope for our future. Can she make them
live again?

The next stunning novel from Donna Barba Higuera, author of Newbery
and Pura BelprƩ Award-winning The Last Cuentista This is the story
as it was told to me by Leandro the Mighty. For 400 years, Earth
has been a barren wasteland. The few humans that survive scrape
together an existence in the cruel city of Pocatel - or go it alone
in the wilderness beyond, filled with wandering spirits and wyrms.
They don't last long. 13 year-old pickpocket Leandro and his sister
Gabi do what they can to forge a life in Pocatel. The city does not
take kindly to Cascabel like them - the descendants of those who
worked the San Joaquin Valley for generations. When Gabi is caught
stealing precious fruit from the Pocatelan elite, Leando takes the
fall. But his exile proves more than he ever could have imagined --
far from a simple banishment, his consciousness is placed inside an
ancient drone and left to fend on its own. But beyond the walls of
Pocatel lie other alebrijes like Leandro who seek for a better
world -- as well as mutant monsters, wasteland pirates, a hidden
oasis, and the truth. From Donna Barba Higuera, Newbery and Pura
BelprƩ Medal-winning author of The Last Cuentista, comes another
novel to astonish us and create a whole new imaginative world, that
holds a mirror to our own.

One day, the children begin to show up in the subtropical town of
San Cristobal, unwashed and hungry. No one knows where they have
come from or where they disappear to each night. And then they rob
a supermarket and stab two adults, bringing fear to the town. So
begins a thrilling morality tale that retraces the lines between
good and evil, the civil and the wild, dragging our assumptions
about childhood and innocence out into the light.

The Last Storyteller: 'Truly a beautiful cuento' New York Times
Since its beginnings, tourism has inspired built environments that
have suggested reinvented relationships with their original
architectural inspirations. Copies, reinterpretations, and
simulacra still constitute some of the most familiar and popular
tourist attractions in the world. Some reinterpret archetypes such
as the ancient palace, the Renaissance villa, or the Mediterranean
village. Others duplicate the cities in which we lived in the past
or we still live today. And others realise perceptions of utopias
such as Shangri-La, Eden, or Paradise. Replicas ā duplitecture
ā and simulacra can have symbolic meaning for tourists, as merely
inspiring an atmosphere or as truly authentic, and their
relationship to original functions, for worship, accommodation,
leisure, or shopping. Tourism and Architectural Simulacra questions
and rethinks the different environments constructed or adapted both
for and by tourism exploring the relationship between the
architectural inspiration and its reproduction within the tourist
bubble. The wide range of geographical areas, eras, and subjects in
this book show that the expositions of simulacra and hyper reality
by Baudrillard, Deleuze, and Eco are surpassed by our complex
world. Adopting an interdisciplinary approach they offer original
insights of the complex relationship between tourism and
architecture. The chapters in this book were originally published
as a special issue of the Journal of Tourism and Cultural Change.

Flora: A Frozen English Garden presents artist Marisa Culatto's
Flora series from a botanical perspective, with texts by botanical
researcher and landscape gardener Eduardo Barba, and botanical
watercolour illustrations by Anna Tiulkina.Culatto's Flora includes
35 works, each featuring a selection of plant life that has been
composed, frozen and then photographed in the manner of a classic
still life. There is a conscious act of staging but also an element
of chance encounter to these works as the artist restricted herself
to collecting the vegetation she came across on walks or in the
day-to-day tasks of her daily life. As a consequence, each still
life features plants that were found near one another and in a
specific part of the world, such as the South East of England.The
conceptual intention addresses beauty, the loss of it, and the vain
attempt to hold on to it. Through these works, Culatto tries to
understand and accept the value of fading youth; Flora is her
personal way of exploring and coming to terms with it. Ultimately,
this body of work also speaks of the very act of photography: to
freeze the moment.Flora: A Frozen English Garden is presented in 35
chapters - one for each work in the Flora series. In addition to
the artwork itself, each section includes botanical content: Barba
writes about a single plant from the relevant work and, as the
plants in Flora are encased in ice and are not always clearly
visible, Tiulkina's illustration provides an accurate depiction of
the chosen plant.The book also includes a thorough introductory
text by the internationally renowned contemporary art curator Greg
Hilty, whose interest in the intersection of disciplines has
spanned his tenures at the Hayward Gallery, Arts Council England
and Lisson Gallery, where he has been the Curatorial Director since
2008.
Tourism Fictions, Simulacra and Virtualities offers a new
understanding of tourism's interaction with space, questioning the
ways in which fictions, simulacra and virtualities express tourism
in the built environment and vice versa. Since its beginnings,
tourism has inspired themed built environments that have a
constitutive, and sometimes problematic, relationship with the
"real" world and its architectural references. This volume
questions and rethinks the different environments constructed or
adapted both for and by tourism exploring the relationship between
the "real" and the "unreal" within the tourist bubble and the ways
in which the real world inspires simulacra for tourism use.
Adopting an interdisciplinary approach this book touches on a wide
range of geographical areas, eras and subjects such as
post-socialist tourism in Poland, the Hawaiian imaginary in Las
Vegas, Rio de Janeiro's Little Africa, as well as multiple
instances of virtual reality in tourism. This timely and innovative
volume will be of great interest to upper level students,
researchers and academics in tourism, architecture, cultural
studies, geography and heritage studies.

investigation picks up in the city as new forces emerge to rise up
against the surveillance state. Explore the world of Watch Dogs
Legion, with research files and information that provide an

This title offers a dynamic understanding of tourism, usually
defined in terms of clearly circumscribed places and temporalities,
to grasp its changing spatial patterns. The first part looks at the
"befores" - everyday places such as daily markets, flea markets,
urban neighbourhoods, that have captured the tourists' interest and
have progressively experienced new development in their ordinary
patterns. The second part investigates the "afters" - former
tourist spaces moving beyond the tourism sphere and becoming places
of everyday life, study, or work. Chapters explore what this means
for local societies and examine this contemporary phenomenon of
former tourist attractions becoming ordinary and everyday, and of
ordinary places beginning to take on a tourist dimension. The
hybridisation of tourist practices and ordinary practices is also
explored through a range of international case studies and examples
written by highly regarded and interdisciplinary academics. This
edited volume will be of great interest to upper-level students,
academics, and researchers in tourism, urban studies, and land use
planning.
