Recenzii

This excellent edited collection by Borsay and Walton tackles an important and under-researched theme in urban history; the resort-port relationship. Its detailed case studies, drawn from across Britain and Europe and spanning three centuries, explore the tensions between seaside tourism and commercial and industrial development - making clear that these were not mutually exclusive activities. This is a 'must read' volume for anyone interested in the history of seaside towns and coastal regeneration.Stephen Mosley, Leeds Metropolitan University, UKThese are carefully researched studies of seaside resorts without the airbrush of nostalgia. The book shows how industry and seaside fun competed for space through three hundred years. I thoroughly enjoyed stories of how the heritage industry has continuously reimagined and marketed the coastal landscape. Poul Holm, Trinity College Dublin, IrelandWe used to think that seaside resorts and ports were quite distinct operations, which would necessarily hinder each other. The papers collected in this volume open our eyes to a much more diverse, complicated and interesting relationship. A must-read for those interested in the history of the sea and the coast, tourism, or urban development.Lex Heerma van Voss, Huygens Institute for the History of the Netherlands, The Hague
