Book SynopsisIncluding an array of distinguished contributors, this novel book fills a gap in the literature by addressing an important yet under researched issue in the field of sports economics.Trade Review‘The reading of the book is stimulating and equally informative; engaging in sport activities appear to really matter for overall labour productivity market outcomes and the readers are told, individual life satisfaction is reportedly three times higher when participating in physical activity than happiness associated with employment. . . highly innovative and insightful, having the merit of filling a gap in the literature of the, yet under-researched, field of sports economics.’ -- Constantin Oprean, Management of Sustainable DevelopmentTable of ContentsContents: Introduction Plácido Rodríguez, Stefan Késenne and Brad R.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd The Economics of Services Microfoundations
Book SynopsisDespite the fact that services have overtaken industry in terms of employment and GDP in developed countries, rigorous economic study of the service sector remains seriously neglected.Trade ReviewAcclaim for the first edition:‘This is a well-written, provocative book, featuring much new material, original data analyses and interesting insights. Despite the proliferation of books on various aspects of services, there is nothing quite like it around. In particular, examination of the challenges that the growth of services presents to conventional economics is very valuable.’ -- Ian Miles, University of Manchester, UK‘This is an intriguing book that contains many interesting ways of conceptualising service from the perspective of economics. It makes a number of important contributions to the academic literature. It is one of the very few books and it might even be the only book to be written by an economist on the economics of services – it is thus a pioneer work and is of value in that it attempts to bring together the work that economists have done on services.’ -- John Bryson, University of Birmingham, UKTable of ContentsContents: Preface Part I: Introduction 1.

Trade Review"An important collection drawing attention to the invisible workers whose work it is to fashion the visible.... The debates raised in this volume could be developed in many directions and it is no bad thing that we are left wanting more." (Geographical Journal, September 2008) “Outhwaite’s familiarity with his subject matter is unquestionable, as is his desire to cover it thoroughly, and the book will serve well as a guide for philosophers to the most important work done by theoretical sociologists on the nature of society.” (Philosophy In Review) “The Dirty Work of Neoliberalism offers a varied and insightful examination of the global restructuring of the cleaning industry and its implications for workers and their struggles. It offers a good mix of more structural and poststructural perspectives on these processes and their inherently scalar nature. Moreover, many of its most effective chapters, such as those by Bezuidenhuit and Fakier, show how work and social reproduction are strongly interrelated.” (Annals of the Association of American Geographers)Table of ContentsIntroduction: Cleaners and the Dirty Work of Neoliberalism (Andrew Herod and Luis L M Aguiar).

Temple University Press,U.S. Never Ask Why
Book SynopsisAn inside look at the struggles Ed Garvey and his small group of supporters faced in bringing true professionalism to football playersTrade Review“Ed Garvey was a man of vision and unafraid to be the first to challenge the league with a relentless and aggressive approach to ensuring our players’ rights. When I became executive director [of the NFLPA], Ed was one of the only persons who had served in this role, and his wisdom, brilliance, and humor were exactly the counsel I needed. Even today, he continues to be a guiding light for our union. Never Ask ‘Why’ is a firsthand testament to why union leaders should never have to ask why the mission is so important, and why the role of unions, even one as small as an NFL players union, remains critical for working people.”—DeMaurice Smith, Executive Director of the NFL Players Association"This is a very important and easy-to-read work that will shed light on the many previously misrepresented accounts given by the owners and commissioner-controlled public communication. It has the potential to change the business world."—Library Journal"Published posthumously, Ed Garvey’s autobiographical account of his role, primarily in the 1970s, as executive director of the National Football League Players Association (NFLPA) details his fight for players’ rights and the mission to end the so-called Rozelle rule restricting free agency. Much has been written about this period, and this book contributes Garvey’s firsthand account and interpretations, with previously unknown conversations, of the negotiations between the union and the NFL.... The book makes evident Garvey's clear disdain for sports journalists for what he saw as distorting the truth and working for the owners. The Mackey v. NFL case (1976) runs throughout much of the book and is an interesting legal study.... Summing Up: Recommended."—Choice

New York University Press Postcards from Auschwitz
Book SynopsisThe uneasy link between tourism and collective memory at Holocaust museums and memorials Each year, millions of people visit Holocaust memorials and museums, with the number of tourists steadily on the rise. What lies behind the phenomenon of Holocaust tourism and what role do its participants play in shaping how we remember and think about the Holocaust? In Postcards from Auschwitz, Daniel P. Reynolds argues that tourism to former concentration camps, ghettos, and other places associated with the Nazi genocide of European Jewry has become an increasingly vital component in the evolving collective remembrance of the Holocaust. Responding to the tendency to dismiss tourism as commercial, superficial, or voyeuristic, Reynolds insists that we take a closer look at a phenomenon that has global reach, takes many forms, and serves many interests. The book focuses on some of the most prominent sites of mass murder in Europe, and then expands outward to more recent memorial museums. Reynolds pTrade Review"Agraphic journey of discovery that reveals . . . many troubling questions: Do Holocaust tourists come as casual sightseers or as pilgrims? Where is evidence, in those dedicated places, of redemption? Soon there will be no survivors of the Holocaust; what will the places, monuments, and museums tell future generations?" * Kirkus Reviews *"Incisively scrutinizes the intersection of tourism and Holocaust remembrance . . . raises important questions about history, tourism, and genocide." * STARRED Publishers Weekly *"This should be required reading for anyone contemplating a trip to places of remembrance, such as the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum or the Auschwitz and Dachau death camps in Europe. Reynolds effectively tells how history and tourism intersect." * Library Journal *"Postcards from Auschwitz is an important intervention into the vexed topic of Holocaust 'tourism.' Reynolds deftly challenges the various criticisms of the 'Shoah business'its presumed commercialization of suffering, conversion of horror into kitsch, and its putative role in evacuating Holocaust memory of substance. He addresses such received wisdom not by denying its power, but by way of a compelling exploration of the experience of Holocaust memorialization in Warsaw, Berlin, Jerusalem, and Washington, D.C that does not only analyze various national narratives of the event, but also defines the tourist's experience in surprisingly textured and nuanced terms. The book is a real eye-opener and should be read by anyone with an interest in contemporary Holocaust memory." -- Carolyn J. Dean,Charles J. Stille Professor of History and French, Yale University"Reynolds lays bare the faulty assumptions about tourism and tourists that undergird the criticisms leveled at sites of Holocaust commemoration. His own scholarship, by contrast, takes seriously the abilities of tourists to reflect just as critically as any of the scholars who write about the topic, and shows how their presence (including their own discomfort with the idea of tourism) helps Holocaust tourism remain an open-ended process of meaning-making. This is tourism studies at its finest. Reynolds' authorial voice is pitch perfect - sophisticated without being pedantic, readable without being simplistic." -- Shaul Kelner,author of Tours That Bind: Diaspora, Pilgrimage and Israeli Birthright Tourism"Postcards stand for the superficiality of tourism, but also have a flip side in which the viewer can express agency, sometimes undercutting the message of the glossy picture. Reynolds is one of the few scholars to take both Holocaust memory and tourism seriously. Among the questions the book explores are: How does one portray the victims suffering without turning it into a spectacle? How do memorial sites negotiate between historical verities and traumatic experience? What agency do tourist publics have in reading and interpreting Holocaust sites and what are the responsibilities of site managers in responding to them? Where does one draw the line between knowledge-seeking and voyeurism? The result is a thought-provoking, multi-disciplinary account of the ethics of memory and responsibility in an age of snapshots and selfie shares." -- Jackie Feldman,author of Above the Death-Pits, beneath the Flag"Reynolds’ theoretically informed selection of cases allows for both breadth and depth in analyzing the promises and pitfalls of Holocaust tourism. Postcards from Auschwitz does not lay to rest ethical questions, but rather raises new ones for future scholarship. This book will appeal to scholars within the interdisciplinary realms of tourism studies, museum studies, public history, and Holocaust studies, as well as the staples of history, anthropology, philosophy, and literary studies. Reynolds’ courage in broaching a controversial and understudied subject will no doubt inspire continued scholarship on Holocaust tourism’s complexity and transformative potential." * The Polish Review *

New York University Press Selling the Sights
Book SynopsisA fascinating journey through the origins of American tourismIn the early nineteenth century, thanks to a booming transportation industry, Americans began to journey away from home simply for the sake of traveling, giving rise to a new cultural phenomenon the tourist.In Selling the Sights, Will B. Mackintosh describes the origins and cultural significance of this new type of traveler and the moment in time when the emerging American market economy began to reshape the availability of geographical knowledge, the material conditions of travel, and the variety of destinations that sought to profit from visitors with money to spend. Entrepreneurs began to transform the critical steps of traveldeciding where to go and how to get thereinto commodities that could be produced in volume and sold to a marketplace of consumers. The identities of Americans prosperous enough to afford such commodities were fundamentally changed as they came to define themselves through the conTrade Review"Grounded in careful study of the travel literature of the times, Mackintosh's study will help all readers appreciate the anxieties surrounding travel in the 19th century—and how these issues still resonate today" -- CHOICE"Lively and well-written, Selling the Sights is a rich manuscript that makes a vital contribution to the history of American travel and tourism." -- Wendy A. Woloson,author of In Hock: Pawning in America from Independence through the Great Depression"This well-written and engaging book traces important shifts in geographic understandings and representations of tourism as well as the development of a transportation infrastructure that transformed the manner in which Americans explored, travelled and wrote about their experiences. ... Eschewing recent approaches to American tourism history, Mackintosh shifts our focus away from questions about national identity and patriotism to focus very specifically on the commodification of human experience, and how travel has been represented in travel guides, textbooks and literature. This is a welcome and important contribution." * The Journal of Transport History *

Bristol University Press The Harms of Work: An Ultra-Realist Account of
Book SynopsisAs the percentage of people working in the service economy continues to rise, there is a need to examine workplace harm within low-paid, insecure, flexible and short-term forms of ‘affective labour’. This is the first book to discuss harm through an ultra-realist lens and examines the connection between individuals, their working conditions and management culture. Using data from a long-term ethnographic study of the service economy, it investigates the reorganisation of labour markets and the shift from security to flexibility, a central function of consumer capitalism. It highlights working conditions and organisational practices which employees experience as normal and routine but within which multiple harms occur. Challenging current thinking within sociology and policy analysis, it reconnects ideology and political economy with workplace studies and uses examples of legal and illegal activity to demonstrate the multiple harms within the service economy.Trade Review“…an exciting progression for social harm studies that offers tangible insight into how harm occurs in all facets of the workplace. I would recommend it to those influencing policy as providing concrete analytical tools for the design of labour market policies that can reduce harm...

Temple University Press,U.S. Muhammad Ali: The Making of an Icon
Book SynopsisMuhammad Ali (born Cassius Clay) has always engendered an emotional reaction from the public. From his appearance as an Olympic champion to his iconic status as a national hero, his carefully constructed image and controversial persona have always been intensely scrutinized. In Muhammad Ali, Michael Ezra considers the boxer who calls himself "The Greatest" from a new perspective. He writes about Ali's pre-championship bouts, the management of his career and his current legacy, exploring the promotional aspects of Ali and how they were wrapped up in political, economic, and cultural "ownership." Ezra's incisive study examines the relationships between Ali's cultural appeal and its commercial manifestations. Citing examples of the boxer's relationship to the Vietnam War and the Nation of Islam-which serve as barometers of his "public moral authority"-Muhammad Ali analyzes the difficulties of creating and maintaining these cultural images, as well as the impact these themes have on Ali's meaning to the public.Trade Review“Muhammad Ali is a terrific book. Disciplined, convincing, equipped to deliver on his bold and original thesis, Michael Ezra makes fresh sense not only of Ali as cultural icon and historical figure but of the vast Ali literature and mythos that surrounds him.”—Carlo Rotella, Boston College, author of Cut Time: An Education at the FightsTable of ContentsAcknowledgements Introduction: Why Another Book about Muhammad Ali?Part I: Louisville Sponsoring Group Louisville's Favorite Son: The Professional Debut Choosing Management: The Courtship of Cassius Clay The Early Bouts, 1961-1962 Clay vs. Moore: The Seminal Text The Most Hated Man in Boxing?

Business Expert Press Service Innovation
Book SynopsisAll the world’s most advanced economies are dominated by service. The service sector also employs the largest number of people and it is the fastest growing sector, both in number of companies and employees.The questions posed in the book are: (1) How is it growing? (2)What are these new service innovations? (3)What are the drivers? (4)How can organizations work with service innovations in a structured way? The book views service as the value-creating activity that customers perform in their own context. The role of a company is to provide the resources and knowledge to enable value creation. Based on this view, we develop a model of service innovation and develop guidelines for what is required from the organizational perspective; how should an organization view its customers in order to be successful, what does a service development process look like, and how to transform an organization that has a product focus to a service or solution provider.Despite the heightened focus on service in society, most models and theories of innovation are based on that the norm is a physical good. We believe that the norm is actually experiential and service based. This book addresses this mismatch of theory and practice for the benefit of those who are seeking to understand, teach, and practice service innovation.
