Volume 3 finds Steve, the autistic traveler, coming face-to-face with one of his favorite Bible superheroes, Samson the Nazarite. He sees how Samson's life of disobedience brings judgment on this strong man, then how God's grace and mercy follow him to the end. Steve then meets Ruth and Naomi as he walks through Bible times and discovers God's redemption for this young widow and her mother-in-law. God's faithful plan shows His love and care of seemingly unimportant people, which later prove to be a crucial part of His ultimate plan. As Steve's travels continue, a young shepherd boy named David saves him from a big bear with a slingshot. No one believes that this young man would ever amount to much, but God had different plans for the young future king. God's presence in David's life gave him victory over the giant Philistine Goliath, and that was just the beginning.

Special and Different; The Autistic Traveler Volume 1 takes you through the Book of Genesis while Steve makes cameo appearances throughout the Bible stories. Steve walks through the story of Adam and Eve and watches as the serpent tricks them into sinning. Then Steve lends a helping hand in building Noah's Ark and waits for the dove to return with an olive twig to know all will be fine. His travels then take him to witness the Tower of Babel and how God puts a stop to it. Steve's travels then land him right in the middle of the Abraham and Isaac story. He gets to meet Isaac and go along on the long walk to Mount Moriah where he sees God provide an offering for Abraham. His travels end with a look through the story of Joseph and his brothers, and the sweet story of forgiveness.

Special and Different: The Autistic Traveler Volume 2 The Land of Promise picks up where Volume I left off in the Old Testament. Steve has traveled further and has run into a mighty biblical character, Moses. Steve gets to experience much of Moses's story that includes going to Pharaoh to demand that he let the Israelites go! Moses tells Steve his story, from how the Lord God had protected him as a child, to how he grew up in the Egyptian household, and even how he will soon free his people. From there, Steve finds himself with Joshua, Moses' successor. We will see how God's will is performed by an unlikely woman named Rahab, and how she believed in the God of Abraham, which was counted to her and her family as righteousness. God continues to be faithful and Steve is loving every minute of it!

Taking a critical approach to the air passenger experience, this book considers the representations, embodied practices and materialities of air travel. Concerned with the politics and social justice issues of travel and mobility, it examines the passenger and their experience of the airport, fellow passengers, flying during the COVID-19 pandemic, and response to the issue of air travel sustainability. It explores the diverse experiences of those with a disability or fear of flying. The volume brings the journey to the fore as a complex and meaningful experience, filling a gap in the social science research of tourist behaviour where, traditionally, the focus has been the destination experience. The book will be of interest to scholars from a range of social science disciplines and fields of study including tourism studies, mobility studies, cultural studies, and disability studies.
