Hannah Stone is your everyday girl next door. A curvy brunette whose smile can light up a room and her big grey eyes bring even the strongest man to his knees. Hannah has the perfect combination of intelligence, good looks, and humility. She has always been faithful to what she believes in, has always kept her life relatively simple and free of drama and has always followed her heart. 

"Are you ready?" Alice asks; a tear rolls down her cheek.

"I have to be,"

It''s not the physical act of turning off a machine that plays on a doctor''s mind; it''s the events that follow. Everyone reacts differently, but the emotions are all the same. Relief, sadness, regret, and acceptance all come to the surface one after the other. But one emotion takes hold more so than all the others. Fear. Fear of the unknown. 

Hannah watches the doctor go through a routine that he has done many times before, and it ends the same way every time. Somebody dies.

What happens next will make Hannah question everything she knows about life, death, and friendship.

No romance is free of tragedy.

Drawing upon a variety of important philosophical traditions, this book develops an original perspective on the relations between ethical, economic and aesthetic values in a tourism context. It considers the ethical/political issues arising in many areas of tourism development, including:

The book concludes with a detailed investigation of the potential and pitfalls of ecotourism, sustainable tourism and community-based tourism, as examples of what is sometimes termed ''ethical tourism.''Until now, the ethical issues that surround tourism development have received little academic attention. Explaining philosophical arguments without the use of excessive jargon, this fascinating book interweaves theory and practice, aided by the use of text boxes to explain key terms in ethics, politics, and tourism development, and drawing on contemporary case studies from South Africa, Mexico, Zambia, Honduras, Ethiopia and Madagascar.
