With the rise of post-truth and fake news, a thorough examination
of authenticity has never been so relevant. This book explores the
geography of authenticity, investigating a wide variety of places
used by tourists. Not only does it assess what might be described
as the more traditional objects for examination - places such as
the city, the countryside and the coast - it also includes chapters
on art and place, hipster places, gentrification, heritage sites,
film locations, photographed places and eventful places. Using a
wide-angled lens on places reveals linkages and possibilities,
enabling the book to skate across the surface of the geography of
authenticity, locating the magically real heritage site, the
poignant replica, the authenticated theme park, the unmasked
carnival. In focusing on authentic and inauthentic places, this
text provides a useful contribution to the understanding of how
places are changing, how they are perceived, and how authenticity
is embodied and performed within them. Authentic and Inauthentic
Places in Tourism is an insightful study and an essential read for
those involved in the study of geography, tourism, urban studies,
culture and heritage.
Sports Tourism: participants, policy and providers is an
unparalleled text that explains sports tourism as a social,
economic and cultural phenomenon that stems from the unique
interaction of activity, people and place. Unlike other texts, it
established sports tourism as a unique area that produces its own
unique issues, concerns and controversies.
The text tackles these issues from three viewpoints:
* participants: examining the profiles, motivations and behaviour
patterns of sports tourists to create a typology of participants
* policy: analyses the response by policy makers to this phenomenon
and the problems of achieving integration between two sectors with
historically different cultures
* providers: their motivations, aims, objectives and strategies
Now in its second edition the text has been further developed to
include material on cutting-edge developments in the field and is
illustrated by all new case studies including a chapter on cycling
tourism and North American professional team sports.
Sports Tourism: participants, policy and providers is an essential
text for anybody studying this unique topic.
* Completely revised with cutting edge new material
* Illustrated with all new international case studies
* Further development of theoretical frameworks established by
first edition

Following a relatively slow start to embrace the direct application
of concepts that have revolutionised the tech and manufacturing
sectors, law firms are increasingly placing 'Agile' - described as
"the best kept management secret on the planet" - on their business
development agenda. In response to Covid-19, many firms have proven
their capacity for agile decision making and have accelerated their
development of a more agile working model. But this requires more
than digitisation and remote working. This Special Report is the
essential guide for every law firm leader who wants to move beyond
the reactive to the strategic adoption of proven agile principles.
Being able to adapt smartly to client needs, competitor threats and
employee expectations are at the core of this report, which is
built around a self-assessment tool and practical framework for
implementing Agile. This Special Report covers: *What is Agile and
how has it been used across industries? Explores the most important
uses of agile thinking and models, from those that have transformed
the worlds of technology, consumer products and complex projects,
to the hybrid agile working model that many law firms seek to adopt
post-Covid-19; *Why Agile? Looks at where adopting agile principles
in your firm will make a difference and how these ideas connect
with client value, digital transformation, innovation and
collaboration; *Where can we utilise Agile in law firms? Examines
the different parts of a law firm and explains which agile models
and tools can be used where, using legal sector case studies; *How
Agile are you? Outlines a practical diagnostic for assessing your
level of agility in each area of the firm; and *What next? Covers
planning and implementing an agile programme, from mindset and
language change to organisational design and client engagement. The
report also provides examples of Agile programme outlines for law
firms large and small which can be adapted depending on individual
needs. In short, this report includes everything law firm leaders
need to get started on their own agile journey.
When the Republican landslide of 1994 propelled her brother, Newt
Gingrich, to the top of national politics, Candace Gingrich knew
her life would never be the same. Alarmed at the epidemic of
gay-bashing in America and her own brother's support for antigay
legislation, Candace felt she had to act. The Accidental Activist
chronicles her journey from being an unknown part-time truck loader
for UPS to a nationally renowned activist for gay rights. Whether
she is exposing the hypocrisy in Newt's "family values", discussing
the experiences of famous families with gay members, or trying to
reconcile her love for her brother with her hatred of his politics,
Candace Gingrich's poignant memoir - now updated with a new
epilogue - reflects her extraordinary candor and courage.
