Lifestyle Sports and Public Policy is the first book to develop a
comprehensive understanding of the interplay between lifestyle
sports and the public policy environment which frames and regulates
them. Drawing on a wide range of lifestyle sports from across the
globe, including parkour, skateboarding, mountain biking and
climbing, it identifies the critical issues facing practitioners
and policymakers as these sports become increasingly popular. Part
I examines public sector bodies that provide lifestyle sports
opportunities to the public, either through funding partners or by
managing facilities themselves. Part II looks at the use of
lifestyle sports to promote policy agendas such as improving public
health, while Part III considers the impact of public sector
regulatory actions on the lifestyle sports industry. Each part
contains case studies which investigate a policy issue from the
perspective of a different lifestyle sport, including some sports
which have traditionally been under-represented such as rodeo and
curling. This book is a valuable resource for anyone with an
interest in lifestyle sports, leisure studies, sport tourism,
leisure management or sport policy.

Bidding contests for sporting and cultural events are attracting
increasing media and public attention. Yet, despite the cost, size
and scale of these bidding contests, relatively little academic
attention has been paid to the strategies and tactics used to
develop successful bids. Event Bidding: Politics, Persuasion and
Resistance develops a comprehensive, critical understanding of the
bidding processes surrounding the award of major peripatetic
events. This is achieved by drawing together existing knowledge on
the subject of event bidding, combining this with historical and
contemporary examples to enable a critical commentary on the
bidding process itself and the struggle for power that it
represents. The text draws on case studies of 'mega events'
including the FIFA World Cup and the Olympic Games as well as a
range of smaller peripatetic events from across the world to
analyse the bidding process and some of the increasingly
controversial issues which emerge during often lengthy and
expensive bid campaigns. Finally, the text reflects on a range of
critical issues of contemporary significance in bidding contests,
including the growing ethical and governance issues surrounding the
development and award of events as well as the impact of growing
oppositional movements surrounding each contest. This timely volume
brings theory and practice together in one place to produce a
critical appraisal of a phenomenon with a relatively recent history
and is particularly suitable for students, researchers and
academics of sports, events, tourism and related subject fields
focusing on the strategic and political dimensions of major events.

The Moulster and Griffiths nursing model is the first developed
specifically for learning disability nurses. This book describes
the model and offers a solid framework to assess, plan, reflect on
and evaluate person-centred care. With approximately 1.5 million
people in Britain living with a learning disability and a proven
correlation between the use of models of care and the achievements
of outcomes for those supported, this book is the perfect tool for
learning disability nurses. It ensures that there is a shared
vision for learning disability nursing practice, and helps nurses
address a wide variety of heath care needs. By providing an
in-depth description of the model, the book provides a dedicated
structure for learning disability nursing, and remains unique in
its transferability to different clinical settings.
