Environmental, Social, and Governance
Strategies in the Hospitality and Touri

Environmental, Social, and Governance Strategies in the Hospitality and Tourism Industry

On a bleak highway in the mountains of Tajikistan known as "the roof of the world", in July of 2018, Lauren Geoghegan and Jay Austin along with two other cyclists, were brutally murdered by five ISIS terrorists. They were both Georgetown University graduates who had quit their well-paying Washington, D.C. jobs to pursue a bike trip around the world, looking for a different kind of American Dream. Pieced together from Jay and Lauren's Simply Cycling travel blog and social media posts, interviews with their friends and family, and media coverage of their murder, author William Elliott Hazelgrove creates a complete, narrative retelling of Jay and Lauren's story. Evil on the Roof of the World combines biking and travel adventure with true crime elements, sensitively presenting the trajectory of Jay and Lauren's hopeful beginnings; the difficulties and meaningful experiences they found on their journey; the foreshadowing leading up to the attack; and the way they, their loved ones, the media, and the perpetrators made sense of this violent encounter. Like Jon Krakauer's Into The Wild, this is a story of a couple who went off the grid to find the great adventure of life.

Evil on the Roof of the World

Transformational and Wellness-Driven Hospitality

A groundbreaking history that explores how human desires have affected our relationship with the natural world, and why this is a cause for hope &nbsp; Donald Worster looks back over 200,000 years of Homo sapiens sapiens to show how human nature, especially the drive for food and sex, has responded to environmental conditions throughout history. Examining how this process led from foraging to the agrarian revolution and then to a capitalist way of life, Worster brings us face to face with a third transformation of human society that is beginning to take shape in China: an ecological civilization. &nbsp; This meticulously researched book explores how human desires have driven us to overrun our environments, and how we have adapted by creating new relationships with the earth. Tying the past to the future and humans to the planet, Worster acknowledges that we are at a potentially dangerous tipping point. Yet he offers a surprisingly optimistic vision, full of faith in the strength of our human desires, to help us develop exciting futures in a changing world—as we have done time and again—and achieve a good life for the billions of us trying to survive on a finite planet.

This timely exploration of social geography reveals how inequality and justice unfold across interconnected scales around the globe. Through embodied, relational encounters, the book unpacks how everyday spaces shape who we are and what we might become. Grounded in care and hope, it invites readers to imagine fairer futures and remain committed to meaningful, long-term change.The text offers a dynamic, case-driven and sometimes image-driven exploration of pressing social issues in our increasingly unequal, post-pandemic world. Designed for student engagement, the book provides real-world case studies that span the globe, critical concepts, and thought-provoking questions to help readers analyse injustice, build conceptual "toolkits," and imagine routes toward meaningful social change. Rather than offering easy answers, this book equips readers with flexible, practical frameworks-encouraging selective, critical thinking to better understand and communicate complex social problems. Ideal for classroom use and independent study, it empowers students to connect theory with action and to think like geographers committed to justice. The book also includes Engagement Questions, encouraging readers to reflect on the subject of the chapter and the wider topics within the field of social geography.This book is essential reading for students of social and political geography, and allied fields of urban, health and wellbeing, and political geographies.
