Now, it is a way in which we change the world. Twenty-five years ago, two things made mass tourism possible: cheap air travel and the credit card. The world has come a long way since then—and very quickly—from the need for either travel agents or traveler’s checks. From the now-vast cruise ship industry to a myriad of niche areas such as do-good tourism, self-improvement tourism, sex tourism, and adventure tourism, travel—as an industry and an activity—reaches into corners and has developed on scales not hitherto imagined. In Trapped by Tourism: Sustainability Questions for a World Fueled by Travelers, Larry Krotz explores the tensions that formed with the rise of mass tourism, focusing on what travelers want vs what travelers do and the sustainability of tourism itself, both as it plays out in economies and as a factor impacting natural and cultural environments. We will never shut down tourism. We are destined to have it and to participate in it. But what truly are its implications for the world we live in? If communities and governments seek economic benefits, they must also look at the trade-offs: commodification of cultures, economic unfairness, environmental stresses, and much more. By delving into examples ranging from the wine industry to Indigenous communities, Krotz looks at how what we do and how we do it affects important corners of the world, and how awareness has developed about steering the impacts in ways that work for everybody.  Trapped by Tourism takes readers around the world to locations such as the old cities of Europe, Indigenous communities in North America and Africa, wine growing regions in Canada, the island of Cuba, and Cathedral towns in England; places where tourism as an economic driver come up against environmental or cultural forces that push in exactly the opposite direction, creating tensions within today’s mass tourism. The result is a thoughtful and provocative framework that encourages readers and travelers alike to consider an ever-growing component of our culture—the way we travel and the impact we leave behind.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51212524486929,"sku":"NIN9781538196465","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51304165998865,"sku":"NGR9781538196465","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52655648342289,"sku":"NLS9781538196465","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1538196468.jpg?v=1759401951"},{"product_id":"a-manitoba-album-royal-visits-book-larry-krotz-9780888010933","title":"A Manitoba Album: Royal Visits","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51215805743377,"sku":"GOR014127254","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0888010931.jpg?v=1751077588"},{"product_id":"diagnosing-the-legacy-book-larry-krotz-9780887558238","title":"Diagnosing the Legacy","description":"In the late 1980s, pediatric endocrinologists at the Children's Hospital in Winnipeg began to notice a new cohort appearing in their clinics for young people with diabetes. Indigenous youngsters from two First Nations in northern Manitoba and northwestern Ontario were showing up not with type 1 (or insulin-dependent diabetes), but with what looked like type 2 diabetes, until then a condition that was restricted to people much older. Investigation led the doctors to learn that something similar had become a medical issue among young people of the Pima Indian Nation in Arizona though, to their knowledge, nobody else. But these youth were just the tip of the iceberg. Over the next few decades more children would confront what was turning into not only a medical but also a social and community challenge. Diagnosing the Legacy is the story of communities, researchers, and doctors who faced--and continue to face--something never seen before: type 2 diabetes in younger and younger people. Through dozens of interviews, Krotz shows the impact of the disease on the lives of individuals and families as well as the challenges caregivers faced diagnosing and then responding to the complex and perplexing disease, especially in communities far removed from the medical personnel a facilities available in the city.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52541850222865,"sku":"NIN9780887558238","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780887558238.jpg?v=1772877976"},{"product_id":"piecing-the-puzzle-book-larry-krotz-9780887557309","title":"Piecing the Puzzle","description":"In 1979, Dr. Allan Ronald, a specialist in infectious diseases from Canada, and Dr. Herbert Nsanze, head of medical microbiology at University of Nairobi, met through the World Health Organization. Ronald had just completed a successful project that cured a chancroid (genital ulcer) epidemic in Winnipeg and Nsanze asked him to come to Kenya to help with Kenya's sexual diseases problem. That initial invitation led to a groundbreaking international scientific collaboration that would uncover critical pieces in the complex puzzle that became today's HIV\/AIDS pandemic. In Piecing the Puzzle, journalist and documentary filmmaker Larry Krotz chronicles the fascinating history of the pioneering Kenyan, Canadian, Belgian, and American research team that uncovered HIV\/AIDS in Kenya, their scientific breakthroughs and setbacks, and their exceptional thirty-year relationship that began a new era of global health collaboration.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53251477012753,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53251477078289,"sku":"NIN9780887557309","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780887557309.jpg?v=1773584382"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-larry-krotz.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
