Place, Modernity, and the Consumer's World: A Relational Framework for Geographical Analysis

Explores the phenomenon of marketing places as consumer goods: retail stores made up to look like the Australian outback; magazine ads for tourism; staged "native rituals" on guided tours; and the like. Sack (geography and integrated liberal studies, U. of Wisconsin) constructs a geographical basis for judging such practices. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
