★觀光人類學最佳入門書★旅人所到之處，會對當地帶來什麼影響？當地人要如何回應，才能避免觀光的負面衝擊？隨著觀光的盛行，旅遊已經成為一種全民運動。旅人玩什麼、吃什麼、住什麼、買什麼，無一不影響在地人的生活。許多國家也將觀光當成發展經濟的良方，認為可以振興都市空間、阻止農村經濟下滑、促進地方創生。但是，觀光真的能振興經濟嗎？當觀光衝擊在地文化與環境時，該怎麼辦？本書整合了人類學者的觀光研究，分析什麼因素影響了一地的觀光走向。為什麼有些地方的文化遭到觀光吞噬，有些卻因而有了復甦的契機？為什麼有些地方的觀光收益流入大財團手中，有些卻能留給當地人？作者以全世界觀光發展的案例，包含婆羅洲、峇里島、日本、泰國、阿爾卑斯山區、美國印第安地區、哥斯大黎加、貝里茲等等，展開以下討論：．人們為何想旅行？旅行的意義是什麼？．旅行是讓不同地方的人了解彼此？還是加深刻板印象？．「他們好像不夠傳統？」當遊客期待看到原住民傳統的生活方式，而當地人實際上已過著現代生活時，我們該如何思考「傳統」？ ．當傳統技藝與祭典成為觀光表演時，對於當地是好是壞？．誰從觀光得到了好處，誰承擔了觀光的代價？．如何評估觀光發展的利弊得失？．你的理想不是我的理想？當生態旅遊的保育理想，危及當地人的生計時，該如何權衡？．觀光如何成為國際政治的一環，成為國與國之間威脅利誘的工具？ 作者呼籲在發展觀光時，應將底下原則奉為圭臬：永續的資源管理、真實與公正地呈現旅遊地點與當地人、想辦法讓觀光收益可以平均分配給當地人。在台灣發展國際觀光之際，透過書中成功與失敗的案例，將能進一步思考為什麼要發展觀光、以及要發展哪一種觀光，其中的收穫與代價會是什麼？本書希望當人們進一步了解觀光的社會與文化影響之後，可以讓我們所有人成為更有見識、也更懂得尊重的旅人。【新版特色】• 更新、精煉與擴充前一版內容• 持續關注觀光對社會、文化、經濟與環境影響

Using archival materials and church charters from the province of Anjou, Paul Marchegay provides a broad and comprehensive picture of the history of this province of western France. In Volume 1, published in 1853, the Anjou native and archivist of the province makes use of three primary sources: the papers of the eighteenth-century politician Armand-Thomas Hue, seigneur de Miroménil, a report on the land ownership, economic resources and social conditions of the province made by the diplomat Charles Colbert de Croissy (younger brother of Loius XIV's minister of finance), and finally the medieval charters of Anjou. Volume 2, published in 1853, comprises charters from the abbey of Marmoutiers, near Tours, that give an insight into local life through centuries.
