  • Faith, Bioethics, and Sustainable Development

    Open AccessJim Lynch, John Arnold et al.ARTICLEReligions2025Referencias: 27

    The complex interwoven crises of climate disruption and biodiversity loss demand not only rapid technological innovation for sustainable development but also major shifts in consumption and behaviour, implying a need for responses rooted in ethical values and a reorientation of attitudes towards the more-than-human world. In this context, given the global significance of faith communities and institutions as motivators and moral authorities, it i…

  • Late Quaternary Climate Variability and Change from Aotearoa New Zealand Speleothems

    Open AccessA M Lorrey, Peter W Williams et al.ARTICLEQuaternary2020

    We re-evaluated speleothem isotope series from Aotearoa New Zealand that were recently contributed to the Speleothem Isotopes Synthesis and AnaLysis (SISAL) database. COnstructing Proxy Records from Age Models (COPRA) software was used to produce Bayesian age models for those speleothems. The new age modelling helped us examine Late Quaternary temporal coverage for the national speleothem network, and also supported our exploration of three diffe…

  • Transitioning towards sustainability in the mountain resort community of Whistler, British Columbia

    Alison M Gill, Peter W WilliamsARTICLETourism Recreation Research2018Citada por: 3Referencias: 32

    In 2005, the resort community of Whistler introduced an innovative model of comprehensive sustainability planning and governance that attracted widespread attention. In this paper, we use the lens of path creation, together with insights from transition management, to examine the drivers of change in the creation and development of this new pathway towards sustainability. Specific elements of place and time are important factors, as are corporate…

  • Building Zion

    Peter W WilliamsARTICLEJournal of American History2016Citada por: 1

    The history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints—familiarly known as Mormons—has hardly been neglected in recent scholarship, with the Mormon community developing its own highly sophisticated methodology that no longer reflects minority defensiveness. The Mormon story also lends itself quite well to not only biography and narrative but also the analysis of material culture. Mormonism, a religion in which metaphysics does not play a …

  • Mindful deviation in creating a governance path towards sustainability in resort destinations

    Alison Gill, Alison M Gill et al.ARTICLETourism Geographies2014Citada por: 33Referencias: 42

    Drawing on recent work in evolutionary economic geography, we focus on path creation as the framework for understanding how, in a resort destination context, the shift from growth models to ones based on principles of sustainability are evolving. Path creation emphasizes the power of human agency by recognizing the influence of entrepreneurs in shaping their environments. In the case study of the mountain resort of Whistler, British Columbia, we …

  • The World's Parliament of Religions

    Peter W WilliamsARTICLEJournal of Church and State2010

    This book is an exploration of the tensions within both the American nation and the 1893 World's Parliament of Religions in Chicago between pluralist aspirations and unexamined ethnocentric realities. Richard Hughes Seagar, who teaches at Hamilton College, does not claim to provide a complete account of the Parliament, but rather focuses intentionally on the dynamics of these tensions. He begins by limning what he calls the “Columbian myth” embod…

  • Entrepreneurial Performance and Challenges for Aboriginal Small Tourism Businesses

    Peter W Williams, Mike PetersARTICLETourism Recreation Research2008Citada por: 2Referencias: 22

    Across Canada, national and regional support for nurturing the development of Aboriginal tourism enterprises is growing in response to increased awareness of potential market opportunities as well as a desire to improve economic and socio-cultural opportunities for native communities. Several past research initiatives emphasize the need to assist Aboriginal entrepreneurs in developing the skills, products and services required to deliver internat…

    Originally published in 1989, Karst Geomorphology and Hydrology became the leading textbook on karst studies. This new textbook has been substantially revised and updated. The first half of the book is a systematic presentation of the dissolution kinetics, chemical equilibria and physical flow laws relating to karst environments. It includes details of the many environmental factors that complicate their chemical evolution, with a critique of mea…

  • A Research Agenda for Tourism Amenity Migration Destinations

    Peter W Williams, Alison M GillARTICLETourism Recreation Research2006Referencias: 17

    For more than a century, the character of mountain communities in North America has co-evolved with the shifting nature of their economies. For those alpine places traditionally linked to tourism enterprise, the primary shift has been from ski towns built around adventure, winter sport and related lifestyle values, to resort communities focused on providing broader recreation and entertainment services (Frick 2002, Design Workshop et al. 2004). M…

  • Speleothem master chronologies

    Open AccessPeter W Williams, Darren Ngaru King et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2004Citada por: 3Referencias: 7

    The stable isotope records of four stalagmites dated by 19 TIMS uranium series ages are combined to produce master chronologies for δ 18 O and δ 13 C. The δ 18 O records display good overall coherence, but considerable variation in detail. Variability in the δ 13 C records is greater, but general trends can still be dis cerned. This implies that too fine an interpretation of the structure of individual isotopic records can be unreliable. Speleoth…

  • Estimating Sport Tourism Visitor Volumes

    Timothy J Tyrrell, Peter W Williams et al.ARTICLETourism Recreation Research2004Referencias: 3

    While tourism literature provides extensive guidance regarding the use of visitor surveys to determine average tourist expenditures, little attention is paid to estimating the number of visitors to which it will be applied. The inaccuracy of typically subjective visitor traffic estimates can easily overshadow errors concerning average expenditure approximations. This paper offers an objective statistical procedure for estimating the number of vis…

  • Creating A Sustainable Equilibrium Between Mountain Communities And Tourism Development

    Peter W Williams, David A FennellARTICLETourism Recreation Research2002Citada por: 2

    For millennia, mountain regions have been important centres for human livelihood. The economies and lifestyles of these areas have been built around traditional forms of resource use such as forestry, mining, agriculture, livestock grazing as well as the transport and trading of goods. However, more recent trends in economic globalization have contributed to escalating marginalization of many mountain communities, to the point where the residents…

  • Assessing Stakeholder Perspectives On Heli-Skiing's Socio-economic Impacts In British Columbia's Rocky Mountains

    Peter W Williams, Garvin HunterARTICLETourism Recreation Research2002Referencias: 23

    As heli-skiing has expanded in North American alpine regions, so has concern over its effects on natural ecosystems, adjacent forms of economic development, and the socio-economic vitality of nearby communities. This study uses a tourism impact scale to assess the relative changes induced by this industry on several British Columbia's alpine communities. It uses this scale to compare the perceived extent, direction and significance of these chang…

  • "Does American Religious History Have a Center?" Reflections

    Open AccessPeter W WilliamsARTICLEChurch History2002Referencias: 1

    The three essays presented in this session raise issues that remind me of two classic representations of the problem of interpretation. In the Japanese film Rashomon, four differing and incompatible accounts of the same event are presented by the central characters, leaving the viewer to wonder which, if any, is the "true" version. Similarly, in the "Doubloon" chapter of Melville's Moby Dick, Captain Ahab nails a Spanish gold coin to the mast as …

  • An Evaluation of the Utility of a Whale Watching Code of Conduct

    Greig Gjerdalen, Peter W WilliamsARTICLETourism Recreation Research2000Citada por: 4Referencias: 6

    Marine ecosystems provide human society with a wealth of economic resources and a source of outstanding recreation and tourism opportunities. Some of these habitats have become popular locations for commercial whale watching tour operations. Unfortunately, existing government legislation regarding the stewardship of these ecologically sensitive areas and the whales that use them has been haphazard. This research examines the utility of codes of c…
