ABSTRACT
On the surface, this book is about human-nature relationships in tourism. It is broadly concerned, in other words, with investigating tourism as a context that facilitates interactions between what is typically differentiated in Western thought as the human social world and the non-human (or more-than-human) natural world. Clearly, such interactions are not exclusive to tourism; humans and natures collide in all sorts of interesting and consequential ways through science, agriculture, resource extraction, education, politics, religion, sport, technology, among other domains. Tourism is, indeed, just one of countless contexts through which human-nature relationships are given shape, made meaningful, and explored.
