Books by Larry Krotz

Who is Midlifeman? Any man in his forties of fifties. Not yet over the hill, he's still agile enough to be a son, a father, a husband, a lover, a friend--frequently all at the same time. He is more self aware than he's ever been before and just as preoccupied with sex and love and work and cars and sports (not necessarily in that order), but he's also just met his mortality, and it's jolted him. If he's going to achieve something with his life, he's got to do it now. Larry Krotz knows this. A Midlifeman himself, he has a keen eye for both the trivial and the tough issues that men of the boomer generation are now facing. Wry, observant, reflective, MIDLIFEMAN is the companion men need as they enter their middle years.

There are no more travelers anymore, historian Daniel Boorstein has argued, only tourists. Mass tourism, the world's fastest-growing industry and its largest employer, is one of the great definers of the 20th century. It could also be one of the greatest dangers our cultural and historical monuments face today. "Tourist" explores the profound cultural, ecological, and economic impact that mass international tourism is having on almost every country on earth. It argues that tourism could be responsible instead of destructive and describes the people and institutions working toward that end.
