“Event Management in Sport, Recreation, and Tourism in its fourth edition continues to offer a comprehensive framework for planning and managing events across various scales. While the intended audience is the undergraduate student, this updated edition emphasizes the evolving role of the event manager as a facilitator, encouraging critical thinking and inventiveness to navigate the dynamic challenges of contemporary event landscapes, which the editors consider is a gap in the literature. The content is enriched with international case studies and practical examples from diverse contexts within sport, recreation, and tourism. These real work scenarios facilitate the application of theoretical concepts, making the text an introductory resource for both students and practitioners aiming to develop their understanding of event management.” -Vandy Pacetti-Donelson, United States Sport Academy, International Journal of Sport Communication
