Beschreibung

This book brings together interdisciplinary perspectives with the aim of broadening understandings of poverty. It contains both empirical and conceptual chapters, including those by local researchers, on a range of topics highlighting the relationship between poverty and sustainability. It cover themes such as: changes in the environment that pose an existential risk to humans; new concepts in tourism development that consider it as one of the key contributors in the prosperity and well-being of all stakeholders; natural, social and economic aspects of human behaviour and environmental sustainability; the impact of global warming on human well-being; immigration and integration policies and analyses of public discourse on migrants; and overconsumption and its impact on sustainable development. It will be a helpful resource for students and researchers of environmental management, tourism, global justice and sustainable development.

Rezensionen / Stimmen

The book is characterised by a high level of quality research produced by a group of very well-informed researchers from throughout the world. The topics are of great importance and highlight the connections between sustainability and poverty. This is a book that deserves to be studied very carefully by a wide readership. * Stephen McKinney, University of Glasgow, UK * This breathtaking book is devastating, yet nevertheless inspiring. Traveling geographically and metaphorically among the multifarious phenomena of poverty and human deprivation - from Vietnam to Romania to Nigeria to Cuba, and from climate-change to urbanization to nutrition to tourism - this amazing collection of empirical conceptualizations dares to raise the supposed solution of development itself as harboring both risk and promise. It behooves us all to read it intently, and then to think again about current, almost insurmountable, challenges that accompany poverty and development. -- Anat Biletzki, Quinnipiac University, USA This book is thoroughly recommended for anyone with a scholarly or professional interest in poverty, development, sustainability, and tourism. It offers a depth of theoretical and practitioner concern that is difficult and not always successfully achieved. The volume has the necessary breadth and depth of coverage and contemporary focus, with insightful discussions and conclusions, ensuring it will meet the needs of academics, practitioners, and students in a refreshing and dynamic manner. * Brendan Paddison, York St John University, UK, Enlightening Tourism. A Pathmaking Journal, Vol. 12, No 2 *
