A father is murdered in the dead of night in his London home, his
head wrapped tightly in tape, a crude sad face penned over his
facial features. But the victim's only child is left alive and
unharmed at the scene. Met Police detectives Grace Archer and Harry
Quinn have more immediate concerns. Notorious gangster Frankie
White has placed a target on Archer's back, and there's no one he
won't harm to get to her. Then a second family is murdered, leaving
young Uma Whitmore as the only survivor. Once again the victim's
face is found wrapped and inked. With a serial killer at large, DI
Archer and DS Quinn must stay alive long enough to find the
connection between these seemingly random victims. Can they do it
before another child is made an orphan?

The Routledge Handbook of Tourism and the Environment explores and
critically evaluates the debates and controversies inherent to
tourism's relationship with nature, especially pertinent at a time
of major re-evaluation of our relationship with the environment as
a consequence of the environmental problems we now face. It brings
together leading specialists from range of disciplinary backgrounds
and geographical regions, to provide state-of-the-art theoretical
reflection and empirical research on this complex relationship and
future direction. The book is divided in to five interrelated
sections. Section one evaluates the philosophical basis, rationale
and complexity of what is meant by the term 'environment'
considering the major influences in the construction of how we
understand our surroundings and the types of values we place upon
them. Section two evaluates the types of eco-systems that are used
as natural resources for tourism and the negative and positive
impacts upon them. Section three evaluates relevant environmental
policy and management mechanisms for the impacts of tourism on the
natural environment. Section four focuses on the changing
tourism-environment relationship, and the types of tourism that
have become established in the tourism industry, market and policy.
Section five, analyzes contemporary and future issues of the
tourism-environment relationship, based upon themes of
environmental and social welfare. This timely book will provide an
invaluable resource for all those with an interest in tourism's
relationship with the natural environment, encouraging dialogue
across disciplinary boundaries and areas of study. The book is
international in its focus, emphasizing that issues of tourism and
the natural environment are not only localized but transcend
national boundaries that sometimes require both international and
global responses. This is essential reading for student,
researchers and academics of Tourism as well as those of Geography,
Environmental Studies and Development Studies.
Tourism is the world's largest industry. In the past decade it is
the natural resource-based sector that has experienced the greatest
growth. In particular, adventure, cultural and eco tourism (ACE
tourism), for example skiing, white water rafting, whale watching,
festivals and fairs. This book provides an in-depth overview of the
different operations of ACE tourism. It draws on theory from
recreation and leisure studies, tourism, marketing, and
environmental management to demonstrate the importance of effective
program planning. This is especially significant as industry
competition becomes more intense in this growth sector.

The global tourism industry continues a trend of sustained growth,
moving more people and generating domestic and foreign revenues,
often at the expense of the social and ecological integrity of
destination regions. As a result, tourism policy makers have been
forced to consider a variety of new approaches to ensure that the
environment, local people, tourists, and business remain unaffected
by the negative impacts of the industry. This book provides an
objective overview of the extent of international ecotourism
policy, with contributions from academics and policy makers from
around the world.

There is a long history of the involvement of animals for tourism
purposes in circuses, zoos, fairs, ecotourism and wildlife tourism,
using animals as the prime focus of their experience. The wave of
responsibility and sustainability that currently permeates the
tourism field is catalyzing deeper moral questions about equity,
equality, rights, justice, and values in regards to what
constitutes acceptable tourism practice. Tourism and Animal Ethics
represents a required extension of the sustainability imperative
and environmental theory by providing a critical account of the
role that animals play in tourism. This book explores the rich
history of animal ethics research that lies outside the field of
tourism for the purpose of providing greater theoretical, empirical
and conceptual guidance inside the field. It examines historical
and current practices of the use of animals in the tourism industry
from both in situ to ex situ consumption and production
perspectives, identifying a range of ethical issues associated with
such use. This detailed examination of current animal ethics
theories will be instrumental in determining the rightness or
wrongness of these practices, and hence allow tourism practitioners
and theorists to think about these issues and practices in a
different light, minimizing the impact that the industry has on
animals. This text provides an interdisciplinary overview of the
moral issues related to the use of animals in tourism, and contains
cutting edge research and boxed international case studies
throughout. It will appeal to students, academics and researchers
interested in Tourism Ethics, Sustainable Tourism and Wildlife
Tourism.
