Recent years have seen dramatic changes to the events industry. The influence of social media and global communications technology, increased focus on environmental sustainably and social responsibility, and changes to the economic and cultural landscape have driven rapid expansion and increased competition. Special Events: Creating and Sustaining a New World for Celebration has been the event planner's essential guide for three decades, providing comprehensive coverage of the theory, concepts and practice of event management. The new Eighth Edition continues to be the definitive guide for creating, organizing, promoting, and managing special events of all kinds. Authors, Seungwon "Shawn" Lee and Joe Goldblatt, internationally-recognized leaders and educators in the industry, guide readers through all the aspects of professional event planning with their broad understanding of diverse cultures and business sectors. This definitive resource enables current and future event leaders to stretch the boundaries of the profession and meaningfully impact individuals, organizations, and cultures around the globe. Global case studies of high-profile events, such as the PyeongChang Winter Olympic Games and Norway's Constitution Day annual event, complement discussions of contemporary issues surrounding safety, security, and risk management. Each chapter includes "Ecologic," "Techview," and/or "Secureview," mini-case studies, a glossary of terms, plentiful charts, graphs, and illustrations, and links to additional online resources.

Toe James Duigan - 'n top-afrigter van glanspersone - se Clean & Lean Diet die eerste keer op die rakke beland het, was dit dadelik 'n topverkoper. Die boek is nou heeltemal hersien en bygewerk, met: splinternuwe resepte; die nuutse wenke en raad; nuwe en verbeterde 'Sleg, Beter, Beste'-tabelle - iets wat eie is aan Duigan. Skoon & Skraal is eenvoudig en doeltreffend: jy hoef nie kaloriee te tel of ingewikkelde reels te volg nie. Jy word eers gehelp om 'Skoon' te kom deur 'n buigsame 14-dag-detoks- en eetprogram te volg, en dan gewys hoe om 'Skraal' te word deur jou liggaam te vorm met maklike oefeninge wat werk.
