contemporary issues concerning the potential of festivals and
events to produce economic, social, cultural and community
benefits. Incorporating a range of international perspectives, the
book provides the reader with a global look at current trends and
topics, which have until now, been underrepresented by current
literature.
International Perspectives of Festivals and Events includes a broad
range of research, case studies and examples from well-known
scholars in the field to form a unified volume that informs the
reader of the current status of festivals and events around the
world. In a fast-moving industry where new theory and practice is

student or researcher in festivals and events.
This open access book explores the expectations surrounding
dementia, what it ‘looks like’ and how people have been treated
by others. It aims to raise awareness of the different types of
dementia, and how they impact the brain, body, and lived
experience, including experience of Alzheimer’s disease, Vascular
Dementia, Posterior Cortical Atrophy, Frontotemporal Dementia,
Semantic Dementia, and Lewy Body Dementia. The co-authors reflect
on their experience with informal and formal care, before finishing
with a focus on the spectrum of dementia research from clinical
trials to user-led research. Throughout the book, co-authors have
shared personal stories of how dementia has affected them and
people with lived experience of dementia share what they wish
people knew about living with the disease. Co-produced by
people with lived experience of dementia, academics and health care
professionals, this book is an accessible resource about dementia
from the perspective of people actively involved in the field and
essential reading for healthcare professionals wishing to learn
more about the experience of this neuroprogressive condition, as
well as policymakers, and members of the public.
The growth of events and festivals has been significant over the
last decade and a wide range of skills are essential to ensure
those events are successful. This requirement has been instrumental
in stimulating the creation of more tertiary education
opportunities to develop events management knowledge. As the
discipline develops, knowledge requires direction in order to
understand the changing advances in society.
This is the first book to take a futures approach to understanding
event management. A systematic and pattern-based understanding is
used to determine the likelihood of future events and trends. Blue
skies scenarios are applied throughout to provide a vision of the
future of events, not only capturing how the events industry is
changing but also important issues that will affect events now as
well as the future. Chapters include analysis of sustainability,
security, impacts of social media, design at both mega event and
community level and review a good range of different types of
events from varying geographical regions. A final section captures
the contributions of each chapter through the formation of a
conceptual map for a future research agenda.
Written by leading academics in the field, this ground breaking
book will be a valuable reference point for educators, researchers
and industry professionals.
Events and Festivals have an increasingly vital role in our leisure
lifestyles. We recognise them as part of our lives. For some, of
they are a very significant part of our lives.
The network of festivals and events that either adorn the world
now, or are planned for the future, can both serve to motivate new
visits as well as enhance the lives of the people who live in - or
near - the host area. They are also dynamos of cultural
development, of sport knowledge and excellence and sophisticated
consumption. Such dynamic outputs require dynamic inputs. This book
looks at different event and festival cases and forwards separate
and current managerial implications and responses to these, with
reference to the UK, America and Australia.
Both up-to-date and forward thinking, the managerial themes
addressed are: Creative Management, Festival and Event audience
development, Culture and Community, Event and Festival evaluation.
Festival and event types include sport events, art festivals,
community events, live music and culinary extravaganza.
This book was previously published as a special issue of Managing
Leisure: An International Journal.

In this book, Professor Martin Robertson, author of A History of Greek Art (CUP 1975) and A Shorter History of Greek Art (CUP 1981), draws together the results of a lifetime's study of Greek vase-painting, tracing the history of figure-drawing on Athenian pottery from the invention of the "red-figure" technique in the later archaic period to the abandonment of figured vase-decoration two hundred years later. The book covers red-figure and also work produced over the same period in the same workshops in black-figure and other techniques, especially that of drawing in outline on a white ground. This book is a major contribution to the history of Greek vase-painting and anyone seriously interested in the subject--whether scholar, student, curator, collector or amateur--will find it essential reading.
