Employment relations, much discussed in other industries, has often
been neglected in professional sports despite its unique
characteristics. The book aims to explore in detail the unique
nature of the employment relationship in professional sports and
the sport industry. In four parts the book examines, firstly the
regulation of sporting competition both within and across sporting
codes; secondly a range of employment law issues such as how
contracting and negotiation are handled, how disputes are resolved,
and the role of sporting representatives such as player
associations. The third section discusses the economic issues
related to employment such as transfers, drafts and efforts to
achieve ''competitive balance''. The final section of the book
explores contemporary issues in sports management and governance,
including anti-discrimination and anti-doping policy. Through this
analysis the book identifies the complex and unique issues
surrounding employment relations within professional sports and the
sport industry. Contributors include: J. Anderson, M. Barry, P.

Large companies and small are increasingly seeing outsourcing as a
means of making the most of their more limited resources. But how
do you know whether it is right for your organization? What
benefits are on offer and how do you ensure you realize them? How
do you begin to construct a value-for-money agreement or determine
a basis for pricing? What are the risks, and how do you recognize
and manage them? Because every organization's needs are different,
informed answers to these questions have been difficult to come by.
Robert White and Barry James are experts with more than 35 years of
experience in this field. The Outsourcing Manual is a fully
comprehensive guide for any organization considering taking this
route. It is above all practical, with models, outline procedures,

strategy for your organization; the planning phase; implementation;
and outsourcing from the supplier's perspective. If you are
involved in or considering outsourcing, the methodical and case
study illustrated approach of The Outsourcing Manual will equip you
to manage the process for a successful outcome.

Koro, the old one, is the Keeper of the Sacred Lore. Seven elders
gather in his little seaside shack to try to chart a path for the
tribe's survival, a path that will bring together the ancient and
the new: a knife-edge dangerous course. Confronting their people
with the old tribal mantra... we are of the sea and the sea is of
us... they issue a brave challenge. It will send their Stone
Seekers to the deep snows of the mountain trails, their Tree People
into the primeval forests where the tall trees honour thousands of
years of growth and their Star Walkers to the Long Tidies where the
wildest of seas contend. Now, ancient tribal truths, so tragic they
have been hidden for centuries, have to be revealed. While they
cannot change the past, they realise they can heal the past, but
only if they face the painful truths of the past. That pathway to
redemption has been too long denied. Only by washing the blood off
the stone can the tribe survive. Above all else this they know...
if we lose our story we lose our dream and if we lose our dream the
spirit dies.
