Explores the phenomenon of marketing places as consumer goods: retail stores made up to look like the Australian outback; magazine ads for tourism; staged "native rituals" on guided tours; and the like. Sack (geography and integrated liberal studies, U. of Wisconsin) constructs a geographical basis for judging such practices. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.

Review
"The product of a powerful and subtle intellect, at its best in ethical and moral explorations... For any reader who is prepared for a lengthy philosophical treatise that informs the next trip to the supermarket, this book is worthwhile." -- Geographical Review
