dc.description.abstractInteresting idea and some solid mate-rial, but incompletely digested and inaccurately titled. Baldacchino’s basic thesis is that since tourist destinations on tropical islands have been studied heavily, comparative analyses of tourism to cold water is-lands might provide new insights. He has compiled 14 case studies contributed by individual authors, with four cross-case analyses and a concluding chapter. The case study chapters provide a new and useful compendium of existing data on cold water island tourism destinations, and for this reason alone, the book will be a valuable reference for anyone working on is-land tourism. The focus is on the destinations rather than the tour operators, tour products or tourists. The title is something of a misnomer, since there is nothing extreme about a luxury cruise liner or even a so-called expedition cruise. At some of these destinations there are indeed ‘extreme’ tours on offer, such as winter shark dives under ice, but this book does not describe them.
