Going Beyond Perceptions of Sustainability in Heritage Studies No. 2

“This edited volume makes an important contribution to the current knowledge that aims to critically navigate sustainability in tourism. This volume would make an excellent resource for undergraduate students, as well as an important resource for graduate students specifically interested in the pursuit of research in sustainability in heritage studies.” (Karla Boluk, Conservation and Management of Archaeological Sites, February, 2019)
