"An essential events managment reference handbook which addresses a number of key issues within the industry. A very interesting read!"
- Thomas Fletcher, Liverpool John Moores University
In recent years we have seen an enormous growth of festivals and event activity and the literature within the field is consequently huge. In order to make sense of this rapid and dynamic development, students are dependent on a book that can lead them through the myriad of theoretical frameworks offered.
This book naturally situates itself in the middle of this need, offering a comprehensive and illuminating account of the festival and event field. Written with academic rigour yet accessible at the same time, Quinn proves herself to be an outstanding communicator and stimulator of knowledge.
International in content and timely in its up to date coverage of key topics, this will be an invaluable reference source for students from of Event Management, Hospitality Management, Tourism Management, and Sport and Leisure Management.
An essential reading for all undergraduate and postgraduate students. Highly recommended.
Excellent book for both event studies students and academics. It provides a comprehensive insight into a wide range of event management issues.
At present the planned HND in Event and Hospitality Management is not running but when it does on we anticipate adopting this book.
Some key factors relevant in the Event Management industry are detailed well within this text.
Many modern day mega events are used as key reference and would therefore be a useful read for potential students studying modules within this industry.
This book is a very good book.
Very useful to students.
This is an excellent text for any researcher or student and makes a major contribution to anyone's library.
Many of my students have a real interest in Event Management so this well written text book will be a very useful resource for them.
This book is a good introduction to the conceptual thinking on event phenomenon. The examples of the recent research are presented throughout the book.
Comprehensive and has many overlaps with arts management, so useful in this sense. Eg there are practical issues that we do not cover on the course and this book includes these.
