In introducing 15 studies of theme parks and other themed spaces, Lukas (anthropology and sociology, Lake Tahoe College, California) overviews the ways in which such diverse themed spaces as Dollywood, Las Vegas casinos, the Holy Land Experience (Orlando, Florida), Japanese love hotels, and video games meet needs beyond those of retailers and escapist fantasy. Such "authentic" spaces offer people ways of taking "riskless risks" in facing changing environments and lifestyles, but they also contribute to debates over social inclusion/exclusion. Terms in the glossary include "anti-theming." Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
