Publisher Synopsis
Manufacturing National Park Nature is highly recommended to scholars and students of environmental studies and history, recreation and tourism, as well as those of media and marketing. It is an accessible way of challenging taken-for-granted conceptions of both wilderness landscapes and photography. -- Philip M. Mullins, University of Northern British Columbia * International Journal of Wilderness, Vol 18, No 1 * This book is specifically about Jasper National Park, yet its theoretical discussions, analyses, and conclusions can be applied broadly to visual representations in any managed, "wild" area...this text is a valuable contribution to the growing field of visual-culture-based ecological criticism. -- Gaby Zezulka-Maillqux, Abu Dhabi University * The Goose, Issue 10, 2012 * The book is brief, and lavishly illustrated...it makes a real contribution to the literature by analyzing the cultural and physical impacts of tourism in an iconic environment...the author has deftly woven together a convoluted web of images and ideologies, uniquely focused on one location. This work will appeal to readers interested in parks, tourism and leisure, in cultural concepts of landscape, and in the management of wilderness areas... while it engages deeply with theoretical issues, Manufacturing National Park Nature is highly comprehensible, and appropriate for any intelligent, interested reader. -- Fred Mason, University of New Brunswick * Electronic Green Journal, Issue 34, Winter 2012 * Read more...
