Description - Leisure and Tourism Landscapes by Cara Aitchison
The theme of this important book is the influence of leisure and tourism on the production, representation and consumption of landscape.

Both symbolic and material spaces of leisure and tourism are examined in relation to urban and rural landscapes, heritage landscapes, gendered landscapes and landscapes of sexuality and desire.

It promises to redefine the way we view our surround
