SynopsisThe study of sport tourism is on the cusp of moving from a descriptive phase of research into an analytical phase. Consequently, many academics and graduate students are searching for theories upon which to ground their work. This book draws upon theories and concepts from sociology and anthropology (the socio-cultural perspective), sport and tourism studies, and business studies. One of the dangers of a new area of study is that the body of knowledge is built on a range of seemingly unrelated studies. By grounding work in a theoretical perspective, future work can be linked to, and contribute to building a cohesive understanding of various aspects of sport tourism. This book is an edited collection written by some of the top scholars working in a particular domain throughout the world, providing a compendium of theories and concepts that can be used to frame research on various aspects of sport tourism. This volume was previously published as a special issue of the journal Sport in Society .,This is the third edition of Nicole Georges & Jon Van Oast's compilation zine cataloging the sometimes awkward, sometimes painful interaction between the java we love and the dreamboats who sell it...the zine is split between amusing anecdotes about secret crushes and illustrated comics that chart jittery attempts to gain the attention of beloved baristas. While a good many of the crushes remain simply that, a few gain purchase as lusty encounters of promise that end with embarrassing failures or broken hearts.��Utne Reader Includes contributions from Nicole (Invincible Summer), Shannon Wheeler (Too Much Coffee Man), Shawn Granton (10' Rule), James Squeaky (Sincere Brutality), Lizz Zitron, Greig (Clutch), Aaron Renier (Spiral Bound), "Rainman", Nate Beaty (Brainfag), Brad Adkins (Charm Bracelet), as well as MANY anonymous pieces (go figure!).Product IdentifiersISBN-100415348099ISBN-139780415348096eBay Product ID (ePID)30774906Key DetailsNumber Of Pages48 pagesSeriesSport in the Global SocietyFormatHardcoverPublication Date2006-05-01LanguageEnglishPublisherRoutledgePublication Year2006Additional DetailsCopyright Date2004IllustratedYesDimensionsWeight24.1 OzHeight0.8 In.Width6.8 In.Length9.8 In.Target AudienceGroupCollege AudienceClassification MethodLC Classification NumberG155.A1Dewey Decimal338.4791Dewey Edition22ContributorsEdited byHeather J.
