{"product_id":"spiritual-tourism-alex-norman-9781472514615","title":"Spiritual Tourism: Travel and Religious Practice in Western Society","description":"This book investigates spiritual tourism - tourism characterised by an intentional search for spiritual benefit - from a contemporary religious studies perspective. Using field research gathered from spiritual tourism locations in Asia and Europe, and utilizing contemporary scholarship on practices concerned with meaning and identity, it explores the phenomena of journeys that are taken for self transformation, tracing the history of transformative ideas in Western cultures of travel, and including the modes in which the travel experience has been communicated. Spiritual Tourism provides an important opportunity to comment on the role of tourism in contemporary conceptions of spirituality and spiritual practice in Western society.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alex Norman, Norman Alex\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1472514610\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781472514615\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/23\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.78lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.53d","brand":"Alex Norman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44065817264383,"sku":"9781472514615","price":51.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_168f3437-abe3-4411-99b2-e9d7a9af39a5.jpg?v=1685403671","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/spiritual-tourism-alex-norman-9781472514615","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
