First published in 1994, Winners and Losers is based upon a
two-year study carried out in Manchester. Using a wealth of
research material gathered from 1000 respondents from seven ethnic
minority groups, it details the social, cultural, and religious
priorities of these groups, and through this, their involvement
with sport and physical recreation. A major theme of the book is
that all those involved in the promotion of sport and recreation
facilities in whatever context should recognise that ethnic
minority groups are different, and their differences need to be
understood, respected and accepted. It is important for the
providers and the ethnic minority groups to learn about each other
and understand the motives which underlie each other's responses
and recognise the limitations which define the boundaries of the
possible for both sides. This book is a must read for scholars and
researchers of education, and multiculturalism.
River restoration projects are designed to recreate functional
characteristics within a context of physical stability. They tend
to focus on the development and application of geomorphic
principles for river restoration design. Due to different models
obtaining different results on the same problem, incomplete or
absent data, and climatic/social/cultural changes, the designers
and managers of such projects frequently face high levels of
uncertainty.
This book will provide a systematic overview of the issues
involved in minimizing and coping with uncertainty in river
restoration projects. A series of thematic sections will be used to
define the various sources of uncertainty in restoration projects
and how these show at different points in the life cycle (design,
construction and post-construction phases) of restoration projects.
The structure of the book will offer a rational theoretical
analysis of the problem while providing practical guidance in
managing the different sources of uncertainty. A wide range of case
studies will be included from Europe, North America and
Australasia
