        Tourism and Resilience

        by Richard W Butler

        This is the first book to address the concept of resilience and its specific application and relevance to tourism, in particular tourism destinations. Resilience relates to the ability of organisms, communities, ecosystems and populations to withstand the impacts of external forces while retaining their integrity and ability to continue functioning. It is particularly applicable to tourism destinations and attractions which are exposed to the potentially harmful and sometimes severe effects of tourism development and visitation, but which also can experience increased resilience from the economic benefits of tourism. Phenomena such as destination communities, wildlife populations and ecosystems are discussed, as well as the ability of places and communities to use tourism and its infrastructure to recover from disasters such as tsunamis, earthquakes, unrest and disease. This book: · Compares the relevance of resilience to sustainability · Contains contributions from many of the leading international authors · Brings together varying viewpoints of both conceptual and applied issues · Includes example case studies from Whistler, western Canada; Sri Lanka; Purnululu National Park, Australia; and the remote Pitcairn Island in the Pacific Tourism and Resilience is relevant for researchers, students and practitioners in tourism and related fields such as development studies, geography, sociology, anthropology, economics and business/management. ; This book discusses the concept of resilience and its application to tourism. It compares the relevance of resilience to sustainability; the former focusing on the well-being and survival of the places affected and the latter focusing on the agent of impact, tourism itself. ; PART ONE: INTRODUCTION1: INTRODUCTION2: THE DEVELOPMENT OF RESILIENCE THINKING3: COMMUNITY TOURISM RESILIENCE: SOME APPLICATIONS OF THE SCALE, CHANGE AND RESILIENE (SCR) MODELPART 2: SOCIO-ECOLOGICAL RESILIENCE4: SOCIO-ECOLOGICAL BALANCE IN COMMUNITY BASED TOURISM EXPERIENCES: A RESARCH PROPOSAL5: RESILIENCE AND DESTINATION GOVERNANCE6: RESILIENCE AND DESTINATION GOVERNANCE: WHISTLER, B.C.PART 3: RESILIENCE AND RESPONSE TO DISASTERS7: SRI LANKAN TOURISM DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLICATIONS FOR RESILIENCE8: RESILIENCE, TOURISM AND DISASTERS9: RESILIENCE AND PERCEPTIONS OF PROBLEMS IN ALPINE REGIONSPART 4: RESILIENCE IN PROTECTED NATURAL AREAS AND INSULAR LOCATIONS10: Tourism Resilience in UK National Parks11: RESILIENCE AND PROTECTED AREA TOURISM IN PURNULULU NATIONAL PARK: UNDERSTANDING INTERACTIONS WITH A FOCUS ON COMMUNITY BENEFITS12: RESILIENCE AND TOURISM IN ISLANDS: INSIGHTS FROM THE CARIBBEAN13: RESILIENCE AND TOURISM IN REMOTE LOCATIONS: PITCAIRN ISLANDSPART 5: RESILIENCE AND THE TOURISM INDUSTRY14: ISSUES OF RESILIENCE, SUSTAINABILITY AND RESPONSIBILITY IN TOURISM15: BETTING ON CASINO TOURISM RESILIENCE: A CASE STUDY OF CASINO EXPANSION IN MACAO AND THE ASIA REGION16: RESILIENCE AS NEW POLITICAL REALITYPART 6: CONCLUSIONS

        Finding Resilience

        Change and Uncertainty in Nature and Society

        by Brian Walker

        Floods, fires, famines, epidemics and disasters of all kinds are on the increase, and as their frequency rises so does the call for greater resilience. But what does that mean? The word is used differently in psychology, ecology, economics and engineering and runs the risk of becoming meaningless jargon. This would be most unfortunate because, if we are to successfully navigate very real and dangerous global trends, it is resilience that needs to be understood and fostered. Finding Resilience is international in scope and unravels how ecosystems, societies and people cope with disturbance and adversity. Written for a general readership and based on the experiences of researchers, the fascinating stories from around the world reveal what resilience is, how it works in different kinds of systems, how it is expressed, and how it can be gained and lost.

        Islandscapes and Tourism

        An Anthology

        by Joseph M Cheer, Solene Prince, Philip Hayward

        The links between islands and tourism, as sights of pleasure is embodied in the touristification of sun, sand and sea. Islandscapes are central to the tourist imaginaries that shape islands as touristified places - curated, designed and commodified for both mass tourism and more niche inclined versions. Yet while islands are parlayed for touristic pleasure seekers, islands are also home to longstanding communities that have variously battled with the tyranny of distance from metropolitan centres, as well as the everyday challenges of climate change effects, and benefitted from their isolation from modern-day pressures. To what extent are islandscapes resilient to rapidly changing utilities, significances and ways of life wrought by tourism expansion? The vulnerability-resilience duality remains firmly entrenched in the discourse on islands where tourism has become prominent. Although tourism provides some resiliency, overall, islandscapes remain subject to externally driven fast and slow change that exercises an overwhelming influence. This anthology of articles previously published in the journal Shima explores emergent themes that describe how island peoples adapt and respond in localised cultural islandscapes as a consequence of tourism expansion. It is aimed at researchers in island studies, tourism, sustainability, human geography, cultural studies, sociology and anthropology. The anthology will also be of interest to those with an abiding interest in the trajectories of islands and their peoples, particularly where tourism has come to shape islandscapes.

        Robust health care systems are paramount for the health, security, and prosperity of people and countries as a whole. This book provides for the first time a chronicle of the struggle for, and eventual success of, universal health coverage (UHC) in Tanzania. Beginning with an introduction to primary health care in the country, from its historical foundations to the major milestones of implementation, this book then considers stewardship of this important aspect of health systems over time. Written in a way to allow the application of lessons learned to other countries' contexts, this book covers: - Policy and governance issues such as leadership, human resources, and financing of health systems; - Practical aspects of health system delivery, including supply chains, community care, new technologies, and the integration of services for particular population groups; - The impact and mitigation of global events on health systems, such as resilience and preparedness in the light of disease outbreaks or climate change, and social, commercial, and political influences. Concluding with a look to the future, forecasting the changes and new solutions needed to adapt to a changing world, this book is a valuable reference for policy makers, global health practitioners, health system managers, researchers, students, and all those with an interest in primary health care and reforms - both in Tanzania and beyond.

        Mrs Dalloway

        Biography of a novel

        by Mark Hussey

        A compelling biography of one of the most celebrated novels in the English language. The fourth and best-known of Virginia Woolf's novels, Mrs Dalloway is a modernist masterpiece that has remained popular since its publication in 1925. Its dual narratives follow a day in the life of wealthy housewife Clarissa Dalloway and shell-shocked war veteran Septimus Warren Smith, capturing their inner worlds with a vividness that has rarely been equalled. Mrs Dalloway: Biography of a novel offers new readers a lively introduction to this enduring classic, while providing Woolf lovers with a wealth of information about the novel's writing, publication and reception. It follows Woolf's process from the first stirrings in her diary through her struggles to create what was quickly recognised as a major advance in prose fiction. It then traces the novel's remarkable legacy to the present day. Woolf wrote in her diary that she wanted her novel 'to give life & death, sanity & insanity. to criticise the social system, & to show it at work, at its most intense.' Mrs Dalloway: Biography of a novel reveals how she achieved this ambition, creating a book that will be read by generations to come.
