Self and Other in an Age of Uncertain Meaning explores the nature
and origins of widespread problems of self in modern societies. It
examines the paradoxical interplay between the modern world's many
benefits and freedoms, and its mounting social challenges and
psycho-emotional impacts. Over time the character of consciousness
has shifted in concert with societal trends. The experienced world
has become more nuanced, fragmented, and uncertain, as well as
increasingly personal and intimate, reshaping social relationships.
Chapters analyze the interdependence of language, mind, intimacy,
the self, and culture, arguing that as the coevolution of these
five factors produced the modern world, many features of
contemporary culture have become disruptive to security of being.
The book explores the importance to the vital sense of self in
constructing relationships based in mutual recognition of moral and
intellectual equality between partners. Rich with examples from
everyday experience, this text offers profound insights for those
interested in sociology, psychoanalysis, psychology, communication,
history, and culture.

Heritage Tourism provides a balanced view of both theoretical
issues and applied subjects that managers must deal with on a daily
basis. These concepts are illustrated throughout the text via
examples and boxed case studies. With the rapid growth of special
interest travel during the past two decades, the demand for
heritage tourism experiences has soared, and its economic and
socio-cultural importance cannot be overstated. This book addresses
this booming type of tourism and will prove to be a valuable
resource for educators, students, and practitioners in the field of
heritage tourism.
Special interest tourism is growing rapidly due to a discerning and
heterogeneous travel market and the demand for more focused
activity or interest-based tourism experiences. This book
approaches the topic from the perspective of both supply and
demand, and addresses the complexities now inherent in this area of
tourism. It presents a contextualised overview of contemporary
academic research, concepts, principles and industry-based practice
insights, and also considers the future of special interest tourism
in light of the emergence of ethical consumerism. With a clear,
user-friendly structure, the book: -Links theoretical frameworks to
clear practical applications. -Reviews key emerging issues for
tourism relating to families and faith, the performing arts, active
and passive pursuits, therapeutic leisure and travelling. -Includes
contributions and case studies from international academics and
practitioners to give a truly global overview. Sometimes referred
to as niche or contemporary tourism, this book provides a complete
introduction to the study of special interest tourism for students.
From its origination, Arlington National Cemetery's history has
been compellingly intertwined with that of African Americans. This
book explains how the grounds of Arlington House, formerly the home
of Robert E. Lee and a plantation of the enslaved, became a
military camp for Federal troops, a freedmen's village and farm,
and America's most important burial ground. During the Civil War,
the property served as a pauper's cemetery for men too poor to be
returned to their families, and some of the very first war dead to
be buried there include over 1,500 men who served in the United
States Colored Troops. More than 3,800 former slaves are interred
in section 27, the property's original cemetery.
