Reviews

Norman has provided the service of combining sources on anthropology, leisure and tourism in pursuit of an area in the study of religion that has hitherto received insufficient attention. Spiritual Tourism will undoubtedly be of interest to scholars who wish to pursue the themes of travel and material culture in religion, as well as students who are studying research methods. -- George D. Chryssides, York St John University, UK * Fieldwork in Religion *
