This book evaluates why cities choose to bid for the Olympics, why
Olympic bids fail, and whether cities can benefit from failed bids.
Attention is shifted away from host cities (or winners), to
consider the impact of the bidding process on urban development in
losing cities. Oliver and Lauermann show that bidding is often a
politically strategic exercise, as planning ideas are recycled from
one bid project to the next. As Olympic bids become more deeply
embedded in urban development and bid teams engage in legacy
planning, Oliver and Lauermann demonstrate that bid failure is
rarely definitive and is often a desirable result. This volume adds
a new and innovative perspective to Olympic Studies and mega-events
more broadly, with appeal to a variety of other disciplines
including geography, urban planning, spatial politics and sport and
civic policy.
Forced migration has yet to be sufficiently addressed from the
perspective of health policy and systems research, resulting in
limited knowledge on system-level interventions and policies to
improve the health of forced migrants. The contributions within
this edited volume seek to rectify this gap in the literature by
compiling the existing knowledge on health systems and health
policy responses to forced migration with a focus on asylum
seekers, refugees, and internally displaced people. It also brings
together the work of research communities from the fields of
political science, epidemiology, health sciences, economics,
psychology, and sociology to push the knowledge frontier of health
research in the area of forced migration towards health policy and
systems-level interventions, while also framing potential routes
for further research in this area. Among the analyses within the
chapters: The political economy of health and forced migration in
Europe Innovative humanitarian health financing for refugees
Understanding the resilience of health systems Health security in
the context of forced migration Discrimination as a health systems
response to forced migration Health Policy and Systems Responses to
Forced Migration offers unique and interdisciplinary theoretical,
empirical, and literature-based perspectives that apply a health
policy and systems approach to health and healthcare challenges
among forced migrants. It will find an engaged audience among
policy makers and analysts, international organizations, scholars
in academia, think tanks, and students in undergraduate programs or
at the graduate level, for policy, practice, and educational
purposes.

Considers naval leadership and management very widely, moving
beyond a focus on leading admirals. Many works on naval history
ascribe success to the special qualities of individual leaders,
Nelson being the prime example. This book in contrast moves away
from focusing on Nelson and other leading individuals to explore
more fully how naval leadership worked in the context of a large,
complex, globally-capable institution. It puts forward important
original scholarship around four main themes: the place of the hero
in naval leadership; organisational friction in matters of command;
the role of management capability in the exercise of naval power;
and the evolution of management and technical training in the Royal
Navy. Besides providing much new, interesting material for naval
and maritime historians, the book also offers important insights
for management and leadership specialists more generally. HELEN DOE
is a Fellow of the Centre for Maritime Historical Studies,
University of Exeter and author of Enterprising Women and Shipping
(Boydell, 2009). RICHARD HARDING is Professor of Organisational
History at the University of Westminster and author of The
Emergence of Britain's Global Naval Supremacy (Boydell, 2010),
Amphibious Warfare in the Eighteenth Century (Royal Historical
Society, 1991) and six other books. Contributors: GARETH COLE, MIKE

Author's note: I'm in my mid-eighties, and I've just finished
writing this collection of poems drawn from my boyhood years.
They're not poems about my early life-they're poems from my early
life.
Each poem arose from a separate journey. I went back, became the
boy I once was, then took a snapshot of something happening in that
place and time.
The place is a small farming and coal mining community in
Western Pennsylvania. The time is my boyhood years, 1929-1937 or
thereabouts.
I'm sending these snapshots to my children and grandchildren.
I'm also offering them to you, hoping you'll enjoy them.

Taming is for women contemplating childbirth and facing the
interventional practices currently the mode. Taming explores the
common interventions in hospital birth responsible for the rising
incidence of violence, depression and suicide in children. Taming
is an in-depth critique of modern obstetrical care while it
instructs and encourages safer solutions in childbirth. Taming
addresses the cause and effect of fetal trauma stressing fetal
consciousness and sentience. Taming offers safe alternatives to the
progressively interventional medical management of normal
childbirth. Medically managed birth is about considerations of the
doctors, the institutions, the insurance companies, and the fear of
malpractice claims. Our babies are not products. They are
conscious, feeling, sentient beings from the day of conception and
must be honored as such. Part One is a review of institutional
childbirth care delivery. This section is to give the reader a
foundation to understand the medical model and the politics of
hospital care. Part Two is designed to open the understanding of
the prenatal and birth aspects of obstetrical management and
attempts to clarify "Intentionality." Part Three offers a solution
to and completion of birthing practices contrasted with the
prospective of Mother-Baby-Centered childbirth. Taming attempts to
answer the question: Is there a way for childbirth to occur where
the baby's consciousness and sentience is implicit and where
mother's authority over her body and process is maintained and
respected?
