Most of us enjoy a regular stroll in our local wood, but we might
not be aware of the ancient origins of our surroundings. From
medieval times, woodlands were carefully managed commodities with
hotly contested resources: conflicting demands from landowners, the
Crown, the peasantry and local and national wood-based industries
have all left their marks on today's woodland. Ian Rotherham here
explains the various uses of our woods and their industries - such
as coppicing, charcoal burning, basketmaking and bodging - and
helps us to find the clues that can piece our woodland history
together. Looking at the flowers, the trees that were once worked
and the bumps in the ground can tell us about the people who worked
and sometimes lived in the woods, and we can track their history
from medieval times, through the age of enclosure and the decline
of local industries, right up to the present.

Managing Religious Tourism provides a global view of the tools and
resources used in demand and supply management, in the context of
pilgrimage and religious tourism. With a focus on toolkits and best
practices, the book reinforces the quality of service provision and
offers a reflection on consumers' perspectives and what drives
their purchasing decisions with regards to a variety of
destinations. These central themes are complemented by an
understanding of management responses to consumer behaviour and
mobility, accessibility, individualism and tourism for both sacred
and secular purposes. The book also examines the ways in which
networks, partnerships and the conceptual stakeholder approach can
be employed by religious tourism suppliers working with destination
management organisations. The text promotes sustainable development
and a triple bottom line focus, with all chapters supporting policy
for framing development. Key features include: - Global perspective
on tools as well as management approaches and techniques. -
Emphasis on sustainability in connecting sacred and secular
consumers. - Focus on promoting learning and development within
this important tourism sector.
Within the past 10 years 'Religious Tourism' has seen both economic
and education-sector growth on a global scale. This book addresses
the central role of religious tourism and interrelationships with
other aspects of pilgrimage management. It provides practical
applications, models and illustrations and looks at secular and
sacred spaces on a global stage. The second edition sees the
introduction of a new structure and the addition of new
international case studies. It is an invaluable reference for
academics, students and practitioners and is a timely text on the
future of faith-based tourism and pilgrimage.
