The end of travel? -- References. 520 $a "Human encounters with the natural world are inseparable from the history of travel. Nature, as fearsome obstacle, a wonder to behold or a source of therapeutic refuge, is bound up with the story of human mobility. Stories of this mobility give readers a sense of the diversity of the natural world, how they might interpret and respond to it and how human preoccupations are a help or a hindrance in maintaining biocultural diversity. Travel writing has constantly shaped how humans view the environment from foreign adventures to flight-shaming. If much of modern travel writing has been based on ready access to environmentally damaging forms of transport how do travel writers deal with a practice that is destroying the world they claim to cherish? Eco-Travel explores human travel encounters with the environment over the centuries and asks: what is the future for travel writing in the age of the Anthropocene?"--back cover. 650 0 $a Travel writing $x History. 650 0 $a Nature in literature. 650 0 $a Travelers' writings $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Ecology in literature. 650 0 $a Tourism $x Environmental aspects. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Cronin, Michael, 1960- $t Eco-travel. $d Cambridge : Cambridge University Press, 2022 $z 9781108913904 $w (OCoLC)1301542859 830 0 $a Cambridge elements. $p Elements in travel writing. $x 2632-7082 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117033010.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230706015702.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B0334520A39211ED924352D529ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
