Reviews

'Events and events research face change and challenge as never before. From climate change and cultural heritage to disability, inclusion and place-making, this stimulating and timely book captures their multifaceted nature, using a rich array of case studies to explore potential and risk, offering directions for research, policy and practice.' -- Julie Clark, University of the West of Scotland, UK 'Event owners and organisers are under increasing pressure to justify the events they stage. This book provides a timely and substantive contribution toward analysing and evaluating the social, economic and environments implications of planning and delivering events, and most importantly how to enhance their contribution to society and mitigate associated risks.' -- Mike Duignan, University of Surrey, UK 'This timely collection includes valuable insights from across the domain of event studies with contributions from a rich diversity of emerging and senior scholars. The need to move beyond economic impacts is refreshing with contemporary themes of disability, access and inclusion, climate change, and the cultural legacies of events all significant and impactful.' -- Alan Fyall, University of Central Florida, US
