Volcanic landscapes, both active and dormant, and their related features provide priceless natural resources which are used worldwide as sustainable tourist attractions. This comprehensive book addresses the growing interest in the geological heritage of volcanic landforms and their role in tourism. Individual chapters and case studies present a balanced view about the global volcano tourism sector and include discussions of various volcanic hazards and the potential for disasters and accidents with a main focus on safety for visitors. While some chapters concentrate predominantly on the geoscience aspects of a particular area, others emphasise the overall geodiversity of the natural and cultural heritage and its integration into various tourism sectors such as geotourism and adventure tourism as well as health tourism based on volcanic hot springs. The chapters are contributed by highly qualified internationally based scientists from various disciplines including volcanology, seismology, geology, geomorphology, geography, tourism research and experts specialising in protected site management. To raise the awareness about hazards and the potential exposure to danger in these specific natural settings, aspects of public safety, risk perception and risk management are covered in several contributions. Discussions of a number of historical events related to volcanoes as well as case studies of interesting socio-cultural settings are included to provide something of interest for every reader. Detailed descriptions of the different volcanic destinations also showcase their role in the conservation and sustainability of these unique geosites in many countries. In addition volcanic geotourism offers an unforgettable educational experience.

In tobacco fields, auto and radio factories, cigarmakers' tenements, textile mills, print shops, insurance companies, restaurants, and bars, notions of masculinity and femininity have helped shape the development of work and the working class. The fourteen original essays brought together here shed new light on the importance of gender for economic and class analysis and for the study of men as well as women workers. After an introduction by Ava Baron addressing current problems in conceptualizing gender and work, chapters by leading historians consider how gender has colored relations of power and hierarchy-between employers and workers, men and boys, whites and blacks, native-born Americans and immigrants, as well as between men and women-in North America from the 1830s to the 1970s. Individual essays explore a spectrum of topics including union bureaucratization, protective legislation, and consumer organizing. They examine how workers' concerns about gender identity influenced their job choices, the ways in which they thought about and performed their work, and the strategies they adopted toward employers and other workers. Taken together, the essays illuminate the plasticity of gender as men and women contest its meaning and its implications for class relations. Anyone interested in labor history, women's history, and the sociology of work or gender will want to read this pathbreaking book.
