Research Themes for Events is an accessible and engaging resource that will support lecturers and students alike in exploring emerging issues in events research. – Suzanne Dowse, Canterbury Christ Church University, UK "Research themes for events (RTE) is one of those books that does what it says on the label. However, that label is deceptive. Whilst a book on research themes could easily be a superficial tome with little weight or substance, especially in a field that currently feels so wedded to the pragmatics of managing events, this book offers a refreshing sharp intake of breath. Imagine you have taken your car to have a broken indicator repaired. This book is akin to the mechanic phoning you a few hours later to tell you that the simple symptoms you thought you had to handle were just the start of something far more involved. Like the imagined car owner such a call takes us by surprise; unlike the car owner I, for one, was highly delighted at the news." – Journal of Policy Research in Tourism, Leisure and Events
