Anthropologist Amelia Moore examines the paradoxical relationship between travel and nature in The Bahamas - as human consumption and carbon accumulation bring chaos to the natural world, mass tourism drives global warming and threatens the places we go to 'get away from it all,' in a world getting away for us all.
Amelia is author of the book Destination Anthropocene: Science and Tourism in The Bahamas from the University of California Press.
Amelia Moore is Assistant Professor of Sustainable Coastal Tourism and Recreation in the Department of Marine Affairs at the University of Rhode Island.
