This compelling book offers a fresh perspective on how the natural world has been imagined, built on, and transformed by human beings throughout history and around the globe. Coverage ranges from the earliest societies to preindustrial China and India, from the emergence in Europe of the modern world to the contemporary global economy. The focus is on what the places we have created say about us: our belief systems and the ways we make a living. Also explored are the social and environmental consequences of human activities, and how conflicts over the meaning of progress are reflected in today's urban, rural, and suburban landscapes. Written in a highly engaging style, this ideal undergraduate-level human geography text is illustrated with over 25 maps and 70 photographs. Note: Many additional photographs related to the themes addressed in the book are available at the author's website (www.greatmirror.com).

Tourismes 3 poursuit la réflexion entreprise depuis 2002 dans Tourismes 1, lieux communs et Tourismes 2, moments de lieux. Cet ouvrage aborde les temps longs du tourisme en montrant et en expliquant les logiques qui ont contribué à assurer sa durabilité. Inventé il y a plus de deux siècles et réservé alors à une élite, le tourisme est devenu progressivement planétaire, « milliardaire » en personnes concernées et en recettes engrangées, exponentiel dans les tendances à l’œuvre. Face à la révolution industrielle, les territoires et les sociétés touchés précocement ou plus tardivement par le tourisme le restent, voire continuent de se développer. Il y aurait donc une formidable pérennité des pratiques touristiques et une remarquable adaptabilité des lieux touristiques face à l’évolution du monde en général et de l’univers touristique en particulier. Le tourisme apparaît alors comme cette autre révolution, la révolution silencieuse, la révolution ignorée, mais aussi la révolution durable, au sens où elle n’a pas fini de produire des effets sur la Terre et sur le Monde. La trilogie s’achève, mais la réflexion se poursuit via la conclusion qui propose deux projets scientifiques d’importance : la construction d’une théorie générale du tourisme et la mise à l’épreuve des sciences sociales par le tourisme.
