CHOICE Review
Environmental scientists Newsome and Moore (both, Murdoch Univ., Western Australia) and Dowling (Edith Cowan Univ., Western Australia) deliver a much-anticipated second edition of Natural Area Tourism (1st ed., 2001). Through eight chapters, the authors focus on the "ecology, impacts and management" of tourism in natural, amenity-rich areas, seeking to highlight the synergistic relationship between tourism in these locations and the environment. The main impetus for the work is to showcase the fact that "with environmental understanding, informed management and an aware public, natural area tourism has the possibility of introducing people to the environment in an educative, ethical and exciting manner." Chapters, including "The Ecological Perspective," "Environmental Impacts," "Visitor Planning," "Management Strategies and Actions," and "Monitoring," among others, provide a good overview of their subjects. The book contains numerous international case studies and is chock-full of theoretical and practical implications. It is so well written that each paragraph, section, and chapter are seamless, and the reader hears a unified voice as he/she reads. Overall, a valuable resource for libraries with an extensive collection in tourism science and planning. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above. K. M.
