This book is the first to take an in-depth examination of
marginalisation and events. Marginalisation has been the subject of
academic research for some time now. For example, marginalisation
and exclusion have been identified as problematic in fields as
diverse as geography, public health, education and media studies.
However, little research has been carried out within the field of
event studies. Using of a range of different theoretical and
methodological approaches from a variety of disciplines, the volume
applies a critical approach to events as they relate to
marginalisation that seeks to address the 'how' and 'why', and to
provide a holistic picture of their place and influence in the
lives of marginalised individuals and communities. International
through authorship and examples, it encompasses case studies from
around the world, including South Africa, the United Kingdom,
Italy, Afghanistan, the United States, Brazil, Portugal, Australia
and New Zealand. This is essential reading for students and
researchers in the fields of critical event studies, anthropology,
cultural studies, tourism, sociology and management.

This book is the first to take an in-depth examination of events
and well-being, adopting a much-needed critical approach to the
study of events. It uses empirical case studies to help us better
understand how events foster positive well-being or counter
negative well-being for event organisers, participants, spectators,
volunteers and even non-attending local residents. While
researchers have long understood socialisation as the major
motivation to attend contemporary festivals and events, it is only
just being acknowledged that well-being is also a key motivator.
Those researching in the field of event studies are yet to clearly
articulate "the how, why, where, and impacts of socialisation."
This multidisciplinary book draws together empirical research
across a range of event types and sizes, from music festivals to
mega sports events, to provide a nuanced understanding of their
contribution to the well-being of individuals and communities. Case
studies are drawn from around the world and apply a diverse range
of theoretical lenses to the conceptualisation of well-being as it
applies to events and methodologies used to achieve research aims
and objectives. This significant volume will be valuable reading
for students and academics in the fields of sport studies, critical
event studies, queer studies, cultural studies, tourism, music,
sociology and end-of-life studies.

Why does a power expand and become an empire? Writing in the
early years of the Peloponnesian War, Herodotus gave Athens full
credit for saving Greece from Persia, but also identified the
city's expansion as a new manifestation of imperialist aggression.
In this skillful analysis of Herodotus' intellectual world, J.A.S.
Evans combines historical, anthropological, and literary techniques
to show how the war affected not only the great thinker's view of
Persian aggression and of the people involved in it but also the
shape of the Histories themselves. The first essay discusses
Herodotus' investigation of imperialism, and the second finds the
beginnings of biography in his descriptions of individuals,
particularly in his well-crafted portrait of Cyrus. The third essay
describes the "Father of History" as a collector and evaluator of
local oral stories, sources for the written work that was destined
by its scope and unifying plan to introduce a new genre. Evans
draws analogies between Herodotus' methods and those of oral
historians in other cultures, particularly in precolonial Africa.
He also explores comparisons between Herodotus in Egypt and
sixteenth-and seventeenth-century European ethnologists in the
Americas.

A thrilling account of Napoleon's rise to power, from his humble
beginnings on the island of Corsica to emperor over half of Europe.
Focuses on his military exploits, including his victories in battle
after battle, followed by his exile to the island of Elba, his
subsequent return to lead the disastrous Russian campaign, his
final loss at Waterloo, and his last days on the lonely island of
St. Helena. A volume in the highly-acclaimed Children's Heroes
series, edited by John Lang.
Most Christians do not fully realize the power God has given them
with their Spiritual Gifts. God has gifted each believer with the
tools necessary for a fruitful and meaningful life! Unfortunately,
many Christians are not sufficiently knowledgeable of the role
Spiritual Gifs play in their lives.
