His research analyzes human-nature relationships and advocates social justice and sustainability in contexts of tourism, leisure, and livelihoods. Kellee Caton is Associate Professor of Tourism Studies at Thompson Rivers University and co-chair of the Critical Tourism Studies international network.

Lisa Cooke is an Associate Professor of Cultural Anthropology at Thompson Rivers University. Her research and teaching focus on Indigenous-Settler relations in the territory now most dominantly known as Canada and the ways that contemporary settler colonial cultural forms work to reconstitute particular relations of domination and dispossession. Klappentext This book explores the multitude of ways that ''nature' is constructed, evaluated, and performed through tourism, and the consequences that these different natures have on peoples and places. The book explores the types of 'moralities' that have entered into tourism, including environmental consciousness and animal ethics. It provides an understanding of the ethical opportunities and challenges of the human relationship with nature in tourism. Zusammenfassung How do we understand human-nature relationships in tourism, or determine the consequences of these relationships to be "good," "bad," "right," "wrong," "fair," or "just"? What theoretical and philosophical perspectives can usefully orient us in the production and consumption of tourism towards living and enacting the "good life" with the more-than-human world? This book addresses such questions by investigating relationships between nature and morality in tourism contexts. Recognizing that morality, much like nature, is embedded in histories and landscapes of power, the book engages with diverse theoretical and philosophical perspectives to critically review, appraise, and advance dialogue on the moral dimensions of natures. Contributing authors explore the very foundations of how we make sense of nature in tourism and leisure contexts—and how we might make sense of it differently. The book will be essential reading for researchers, students, and practitioners grappling with questions about the moral values, frameworks, or practices best suited to mobilizing tourism natures. What will the future of tourism hold in terms of sustainability, justice, resilience, health, and well-being? Inhaltsverzeichnis Introduction: Tourism, nature, morality (Bryan S. R.
