Really good buy!!!
I bought this book two years ago, and I have used it a lot! Not only does it give patterns for various costumes, but you can also find ideas about how to use the patterns for other costumes with only small changes. And if you are planning a party you can find a whole lot of ideas how to make it THE PARTY! With themes for several parties this is a really helpful book to own. Some of my friends have borrowed it and have used the ideas from the book. This is a "must have" for all of you that love to sew, make great parties, and have kids on top!!! ... Read more

Product Description

Australia is only a small player in the world’s political and economic landscapes, yet, for many decades it has been considered to be a global powerhouse in terms of its sporting successes. In conjunction with this notion, the nation has long been portrayed as having a preoccupation with sport. This labelling has been seen as both a blessing and a curse. Those who value a Bourdieuian view of culture bemoan sport’s centrality to the national imagination and the consequent lack of media coverage, funding and prestige accorded to the arts. Other scholars question whether the popular stereotype of the Australian sportsperson is, in fact, a myth and that instead Australians are predominantly passive sport consumers rather than active sport participants.

Australian sport, through its successes on the field of play and in advancing sport coaching and management, has undergone a revolution, as both an enabler of global processes and as subject to its influences (economic, political, migratory etc.). This book will examine the shifting place of Australian sports in current global and local environs, from the perspective of spectators, players and administrators.

This book was previously published as a special issue of Sport in Society.

Product Description

Festival and Special Event Management provides a comprehensive overview of the theory and procedures essential to managing festivals and special events. The expanded, updated Second Edition includes entirely new chapters on the role of information technology in the event process, the economic impact of events, and the strategic marketing of events. ...

Comprehensive and up-to-date
Although this book refers only to Australian festivals and events, it's loaded with management lessons, concepts and strategies that are universal. This is the best book I've been able to find on a subject that is scarcely written about (referring to large festivals). Thank you Johnny Allen, William O'Toole, Ian Mcdonnel and Robert Harris for sharing your knowledge.
