Sport policy and politics in an era of austerity
Austerity is perhaps the major challenge of our times, given the speed at which it arrived and the consequences of its impact upon society. The global financial crash and economic downturn was the catalyst for change and, against a backdrop of advice from experts adverse to Keynesian economics, the ideology of austerity grew and became the dominant thinking to steer economies out of recession. This comprehensive volume draws upon both quantitative and qualitative research methodologies to provide a varied and contextually rich insight into sport, policy, and politics in an era of austerity.

Neurosurgical Diseases
A structured, evidence-based approach to neurosurgical decision-making for brain pathologies
Evidence-based neurosurgery is one of the most important pillars upon which to build decision management pathways. Effective delivery of care involves understanding the natural history of the disease and the evidence behind available treatment options. Neurosurgical Diseases: An Evidence-Based Approach to Guide Practice by esteemed neurosurgeons Leon T. Lai, Cristian Gragnaniello, and expert contributors covers cranial pathologies neurosurgeons commonly encounter in everyday practice.
The book combines a structured approach to evidence-based neurosurgery with expert opinions, analysis of up-to-date clinical data, understanding of patient preferences and values, and firsthand experiences to facilitate translation of evidence into clinical practice. Twenty-seven consistently formatted chapters are each dedicated to a different disease state, including brain tumors, cerebrovascular disease, Cushing's disease, traumatic brain injury, trigeminal neuralgia, and normal pressure hydrocephalus. All chapters include an introduction, current statistics and data, natural history of the pathology, selected papers for further reading, procedural options and outcomes, and recommended treatment protocols from the authors.
Key Features
* Key content summarized in reader-friendly bullets, diagrams, tables, and illustrative figures enhances acquisition of knowledge
* Discussion of new developments including treatment recommendations for primary and metastatic brain tumors
* Statistical data on cerebral aneurysm treatment outcomes and recommendations for treatment
* New protocols for treating head trauma, closed head injuries, and spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage
This essential resource will help neurosurgical residents and junior neurosurgeons make challenging surgical treatment decisions for complex conditions, clearly and concisely and based on the best evidence.

Routledge Handbook of Migration and Development
The Routledge Handbook of Migration and Development provides an interdisciplinary, agenda-setting survey of the fields of migration and development, bringing together over 60 expert contributors from around the world to chart current and future trends in research on this topic.
The links between migration and development can be traced back to the post-war period, if not further, yet it is only in the last 20 years that the 'migration-development nexus' has risen to prominence for academics and policymakers. Starting by mapping the different theoretical approaches to migration and development, this book goes on to present cutting edge research in poverty and inequality, displacement, climate change, health, family, social policy, interventions, and the key challenges surrounding migration and development. While much of the migration literature continues to be dominated by US and British perspectives, this volume includes original contributions from most regions of the world to offer alternative non-Anglophone perspectives.
Given the increasing importance of migration in both international development and current affairs, the Routledge Handbook of Migration and Development will be of interest both to policymakers and to students and researchers of geography, development studies, political science, sociology, demography, and development economics.

Volatile Organic Compounds in the Atmosphere
This 4th volume of Issues in Environmental Science and Technology covers a number of issues concerning VOCs, including stratospheric ozone depletion due to CFCs and the properties of alternative substances, the role of VOCs in the photochemical formation of lower atmosphere (tropospheric) ozone and the problem of the direct toxicity of VOCs such as benzene and formaldehyde. Reviewing current knowledge of VOCs, this Issue draws upon the expertise of experts and major national and international research programmes. It looks closely at the sources and concentrations of VOCs indoors, where humans are most likely to be exposed to them and describes techniques used for the calculation of emissions inventories and strategies for control.
