The contributors represent a variety of disciplines: history, geography, sociology, anthropology, political science, and law.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe essays consider such topics as the impact of technological advances on gambling activities, the role of the nation-state in the gambling industry, and the ways that cultural and moral values influence the availability of gambling and the behavior of gamblers. The case studies offer rich new insights into a gambling industry that is both a global phenomenon and a powerful engine of local change.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Pauliina Raento\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0874178533\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780874178531\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Nevada Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/18\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2012 pg. 103","brand":"Pauliina Raento","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48449036124415,"sku":"9780874178531","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5d12416a-9304-4d80-a5d3-7d7ca3fc5078.jpg?v=1777261674","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gambling-space-and-time-pauliina-raento-9780874178531","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
