Britain is engaged in a life-and-death struggle between the forces of national identity and the anti-nationalist forces of globalism. This book focuses on proposals for the revolution so desperately needed to prevent the destruction of Britain. It starts with an overview of the current historical struggle between British nationalism and the forces of globalism. It then posits the totalitarian nature of globalism and points out that that ideology is best described as "fascist." The third chapter looks at race, the relation of race to Islam, how race and ethnic identity affect our lives and why their preservation is all important. This is followed by a discussion of the types of nationalism that dispense with the fundamental principles of race and ethnic group interest for the sake of 'popular appeal'. Another section deals with the policies required to save Britain, and the final chapter outlines the future hopes and dreams of a resurrected British nation.

For many people, holidays are an increasingly central feature of contemporary western society. The tourism industry has expanded rapidly since 1950, but this book poses the significant question of consequent environmental impacts: are environments being benefited or damaged, by the tourist who visit them? A well-balanced introductory text, this topical book on the relationships between tourism, society and the environment, examines 'tourism' and 'environment' in detail, and gives a historical overview of the growth of the tourism industry. It discusses how the tourism industry markets physical and cultural environments to be consumed by the tourist, and the consequences of the tourism they then attract. It explores: * how the economics of tourism can be adopted in a positive way to aid conservation * whether the concept of sustainability can be applied to tourism* provides a critique of the 'new' forms of tourism, that have developed in recent years. An extensive range of international case studies from both the developed and developing world are used to illustrate the theoretical ideas presented, and to aid the student, it includes end of chapter summaries, further reading guides and boxed vignettes focusing on contemporary environmental issues and debates.

This major study reveals the dependency of this movement on the physical and cultural resources which have caused the privatisation of religion, the erosion of community, the separation of 'fact' from supernatural faith and their expansion.

Highlighting tourism as a multidisciplinary area of study, this title introduces social science disciplines and applies relevant theories to the understanding of tourism. It investigates how the economic and political structures of society influence the manifestation of tourism at a global level.
