Recenzii

'Having participated in Major Games from idea to bid, from selection through transition to organizing, and from organizing to delivery and legacy, I highly recommend this text to all those associated in any way with a major sport event who wish to inform themselves with regard to the entirety of the Games journey. For those contemplating the pursuit of a major sports event, the road ahead is laid out for you. And for those wishing to study the pursuit and hosting of major sports events, it’s all to be found in detail in this work.'
