Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

First came the railroad, and then the land run. The town of Purcell
was founded by the railroad and the town of Lexington was founded
during the land run. Purcell, in Indian Territory, was dry.
Lexington, in Oklahoma Territory, was wet. That created a quandary
for saloon owners in Lexington since Purcell was a lot bigger and
was where the north-south train station was built. At one point in
time, there were some twenty-three distilleries in Lexington. All
that whiskey and all those customers were a riverbed apart.
Some enterprising saloon owners in Lexington decided the mile walk
between the train station in Purcell and their establishments in
Lexington was a bit too much - especially the return trip.
The boundary between the two territories was the middle of the
water in the South Canadian River. The saloon owners knew that they
could build right up to the edge of the water and still be in
Oklahoma Territory.
Thus was born the Sand Bar Saloon and Sand Bar Town. D.W. Sweden
saw the opportunity, found a gambler and a madam, and was soon in
business with the Heaven's Gate Saloon. The outlaws, lawmen and
oddball characters that frequented his saloon were a match for
D.W.'s moonshine made with his own special recipe. Civilization
would never be quite the same in the wild and woolly late 1880s and
early 1890s in the Twin Territories.
Neither the tourism industry nor the tourist has responded
convincingly to calls for more responsibility in tourism. Ethical
consumption places pressure on travellers to manage a large number
of decisions at a time when hedonic motivations threaten to
override other priorities. Unsurprisingly, tensions occur and
compromises are made. This book offers new insight into the
motivations that influence tourists and their decision-making. It
explores how consumers navigate the responsible tourism market
place and provide a rich understanding of the challenges facing
those seeking to encourage travellers to become responsible. Not
only will the book provide an improved interpretation of the
complexity of ethical consumption in tourism, but it will also
offer a variety of stakeholders a deeper understanding of: the key
challenges facing stakeholders in the production and consumption of
responsible tourism how ethical consumers can be influenced to
consume ethically the gaps in consumer knowledge and how to broaden
the appeal for individuals to make more informed ethical decisions
how tour operators can respond to this emerging market by
innovative product development how to design informative marketing
communications to encourage a greater uptake for responsible
holidays how destinations can tailor their products to the ethical
consumer market how destination communities and management
organisations can target responsible tourists through the provision
of sustainable alternatives to mass-market holiday products.
Written by leading academics from all over the world, this timely
and important volume will be valuable reading for ubdergraduate and
postgraduate students, researchers and academics interested in
Tourism Ethics, Ethical Consumption and the global issue of
Sustainability.
What is important to ethical consumers when thinking about going on
holiday and how do they incorporate their lifestyle choices into
these holidays? What values inform their lifestyles and how do they
satisfy these values on holiday? Do ethical consumers automatically
become ethical tourists or is the situation a little more complex
than this? In an attempt to answer these questions, this book
explores: The ethical dilemmas associated with tourism The concerns
and motivations of ethical consumers on holiday The role and
importance of values in holiday decision-making This book offers a
highly original contribution to the debate surrounding the demand
for ethical and responsible holidays. It explores the consumption
concerns of ethical consumers and their motivational values, and
offers a detailed examination of how they manage these values on
holiday. This book offers a new and challenging perspective to the
study of responsible tourism by providing a unique empirical
insight into how responsible tourists incorporate their norms and
values into their holiday decisions. The text will be of interest
to undergraduates, postgraduates and tutors on courses that have
tourism and the tourist at their centre, and to academics in other
disciplines such as marketing and consumer behaviour. It will also
be highly relevant to the global tourism industry.
This study seeks to examine the life and work of Charles Hamilton
Houston and the scope of this project will focus on the
implementation and organization of the proposed plan in three ways:
philosophical ideas, constructive engagement, and lasting
contributions of this legal scholar activist. When compiling
scholarly articles for this volume, the challenge was examining not
just legal precedents of Houston, but his contributions to the
study of civic engagement, with emphasis on privilege, racism,
disparity, and educational philosophy.
There has been much debate on the purposes and methods of assessment over the last couple of years. This book gathers together the latest thinking and looks at how assessment can be used to promote or inhibit learning. Issues discussed include how assessment can erode self-esteem and motivation, how skills of reflection, self-evaluation and personal target setting can impact on learning, how far learners of all ages understand what they are required to learn, how far students are able to evaluate their own performance and what schools can do in the short, medium and long-term to promote more effective learning. Part of the What's in it for Schools series, this book is ideal for teachers and other non-academics concerned with education who require a grounding in the issue to help them in their daily work.
