世界历史上的现代旅游

系列：世界历史主题
世界历史上的现代旅行使用三个主题：技术、大众运动和旅行者来考察现代世界的历史，从15世纪的跨大西洋探索到21世纪全球新冠疫情的影响。
这本书既关注旅行的演变性质，从16世纪的陆路和海路到现代世界飞机和汽车的主宰，也关注旅行者自身的重要故事。从全球角度来看，文本将旅行置于整个历史中更大的地缘政治、社会、宗教和文化发展中。它不仅强调技术创新在人们出行方式中的作用，还强调这些变化如何影响社会结构和文化价值观。汤姆·泰勒（Tom Taylor）从性别、社会阶层和文化背景的角度探讨了知名旅行者和普通人的旅行，每个人都有不同的视角，并思考了虚构的旅行者如何定义旅行在现代世界中的重要性。人们为什么要开始他们的旅行，他们经历了什么，他们遇到了谁，以及他们如何理解这些跨文化的遭遇，这不仅对了解旅行者本身，而且对他们生活的世界和他们旅行所创造的世界都很重要。几张地图有助于说明重要的路线和目的地。
这本书将引起世界历史和文学学生的兴趣。
Modern Travel in World History
Series: Themes in World History
Modern Travel in World History uses three themes-technology, mass movements and travelers-to examine the history of the modern world from the fifteenth-century transatlantic explorations to the impact of the global COVID pandemic of the twenty-first century.
This book focuses on both the evolving nature of travel, from land and sea routes in the 1500s to the domination of planes and cars in the modern world, and the important stories of travelers themselves. Taking a global perspective, the text places travel within the larger geopolitical, social, religious and cultural developments throughout history. It emphasizes not only the role of technology innovation in the ways people travel but also how those changes affect social structures and cultural values. Tom Taylor explores the journeys of well-known travelers as well as ordinary people, each with different perspectives, through the lens of gender, social class and cultural background, and considers how fictional travelers define the importance of travel in the modern world. Why people set out on the sojourns they did, what they experienced, who they met and how they understood these cross-cultural encounters are important to not only understanding the travelers themselves but the world they lived in and the world their travels made. Several maps help illustrate important routes and destinations.
This book will be of interest to students of world history and literature.
