The concept of adventure is one that is too often tackled within subject silos of philosophy, education, tourism, or leisure. While much of the analysis is strong, there is little cross-pollination between disciplines. \u003ci\u003eAdventure \u0026amp; Society\u003c\/i\u003e pulls together the threads of these discourses into one coherent treatment of the term ‘adventure’ and the role that it plays in human social life of the 21\u003csup\u003est\u003c\/sup\u003e century. It explores how these practices can be considered more deeply through theoretical discourses of capitalism, identity construction, technology and social media, risk-taking, personal development, equalities, and sustainability. As such, the book speaks to a broad audience of undergraduate and postgraduate students across diverse subject areas, and aims to be an accessible starting point for deeper inquiry.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2019-01-14\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319960616\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-96062-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 240cm x168cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 194\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47525814796428,"sku":"9783319960616","price":71.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319960616.jpg?v=1776027815","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783319960616","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
