'How might we understand the experience of travel? How can we theorize it and place it within a context of social and cultural enquiry? These are important questions for a topic that has always had a kind of stand-alone quality in terms of academic speculation. Whilst travel literature provides insights that often combine the cognitive, affective and emotional in engagements with place and the performance of mobility, this book adds a whole new perspective and depth of meaning to these experiences. The long-attested connection between travel and transformation is given a thorough overhaul and examined for what it is or might be for individuals, cultures and encounters. In a series of fresh and well-focussed essays spliced together with great knowledge, ingenuity and sensitivity by the editors, this volume makes an original and timely contribution to the understanding of travel as a cultural phenomenon.' Steve Watson, York St John University, UK '... the editors have compiled a rich discursive text on the transformative power of travel. Insightful debate by academics of diverse philosophical and epistemological orientations, voicing a wide range of participants in the travel system, makes this an important addition to tourism social science'. Journal of Policy Research in Tourism, Leisure & Events 'With a focus on complex ideas, this book takes a broader approach to the overall book theme and is able to synthesise knowledge in a refreshing style. The book takes the reader on a journey to explore new and emerging perspectives of transformation and in doing so engage in a range of interdisciplinary analyses.'

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
