ADVENTURE AND SOCIETY - SIMON BEAMES CHRIS MACK...

This undergraduate textbook provides a broad overview of the ways in which 'adventurous
practices' influence  and are influenced by  the world around them. The concept of adventure is
one that is too often tackled within subject silos of philosophy  education  tourism  or
leisure. While much of the analysis is strong  there is little cross-pollination between
disciplines. Adventure & Society pulls together the threads of these discourses into one
coherent treatment of the term 'adventure' and the role that it plays in human social life of
the 21st century. It explores how these practices can be considered more deeply through
theoretical discourses of capitalism  identity construction  technology and social media 
risk-taking  personal development  equalities  and sustainability. As such  the book speaks to
a broad audience of undergraduate and postgraduate students across diverse subject areas  and
aims to be an accessible starting point for deeper inquiry.
