’Embracing a laudable multi-disciplinary approach, the editors have successfully melded a seemingly eclectic range of relevant, international material into a cohesive, informed, interesting and worthwhile read.’ Brian Wheeller, NHTV, Breda University of Applied Science, The Netherlands ’Rakic and Lester have brought together a timely compendium of resources. In fifteen disciplinarily-diverse essays, the reader will learn about the historical, theoretical, and aesthetic dimensions of travel and culture. The anthology demonstrates that tourism and the arts are inextricably linked. A must-have for anyone interested in understanding how leisure is both meaningful and meaning making.’ Laurie Beth Clark, University of Wisconsin, USA
