        This new book reviews all aspects of the phenomenon of mass tourism. It covers theoretical perspectives (including political economy, ethics, sustainability and environmentalism), the historical context, and the current challenges to domestic, intra-regional and international mass tourism. As tourism and tourist numbers continue to grow around the world, it becomes increasingly important that this subject is studied in depth and best practice applied in real-life situations. This book: - Is the first to address a range of theoretical issues relating to mass tourism; - Uses a wide selection of case studies to translate theory into practice, covering the historical rise and fall of UK seaside resorts, the increase in Chinese tourism, conflict between different mass tourism groups, destination transformation from mass to niche tourism, and specific problems facing cruise ships; - Is written by a range of international, established authors to give a global perspective on the subject. Finishing with a speculative chapter identifying potential future trends and challenges, this book forms an essential resource for all researchers and students within tourism studies. ; Section 1: Introduction1: Introduction: Mass Tourism in a Small WorldSection 2: Theoretical Approaches to Mass Tourism2: Mass Tourism Does Not Need Defending3: The Morality of Mass Tourism4: The Political Economy of Mass Tourism and its Contradictions5: A Theoretical Approach to Mass Tourism in Italy6: Sustainability and Mass Tourism: A Contradiction in Terms?7: Mass Tourism and the Environment: Issues and DilemmasSection 3: Historical Studies of Tourism Development8: The Dynamics of Tourism Development in Britain: The Profit Motive and that ‘Curious’ Alliance of Private Capital and the Local State9: From Holiday Camps to the All-inclusive: the ‘Butlinization’ of Tourism10: Decline Beside the Seaside: British Seaside Resorts and Declinism11: Mass Tourism and the US National Park Service System12: Transport and Tourism: The Perpetual LinkSection 4: Case Studies in Modern Mass Tourism13: Mass Tourism and China14: Mass Tourism in Thailand: The Chinese and Russians15: Mass Tourism in Bulgaria: The Force Awakens16: Mass Tourism in Mallorca: Examples from Calivià17: Tunisia: Mass Tourism in Crisis?18: From Blue to Grey?

        The Small Plover

        by MAO Bing

        Stationed on the outskirts in Japan, after a few months' careful observation, the Chinese artist created the book about natural ecology. The book takes a small animal — the small plover as the main character, depicting their living condition and the relationship between them and nature, telling about the fortitude of life. In April, the little plover flies back. She builds a little nest amidst the gravel and lays three tiny eggs. One day, when the little plover is out foraging, a huge crow jumps out at the nest and grabs the tiny eggs away. The little plover is so sad about her eggs and her failure to fight against the crow. She has to find somewhere else to start from the beginning. After months of careful preparation and safeguard, this time her little plover babies are born safe and sound. After overcoming various difficulties like the insecticide incident and the night cat risk, the plover babies are turning into fully fledged grown-ups. On a sunny day after the rain, a group of little plovers fly against the rainbow, saying goodbye to their mother land, and heads right towards the vast ocean.
