Tourism is the world's largest employer, and tourists today want to experience the world through all five senses. \u003ci\u003eTasting the Good Life\u003c\/i\u003e tells the story of Napa tourism through the words of the tourists who visit and the men and women who provide the products and services they rely on. The stories of 17 people--from winemaker to vineyard manager, from celebrity chef to wait staff, from hot air balloonist to masseuse--provide extraordinary insight into this new form of tourism and its impact on an iconic American place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e George Gmelch, Sharon Bohn Gmelch\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Indiana University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/16\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.08lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 6.09w x 0.64d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780253223272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Gourmand World Cookbook Awards (USA Only) - Finalist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGeorge Gmelch is Professor of Anthropology at the University of San Francisco and Union College.
