Host Cities and the Olympics (Routledge Research in Sport, Culture and Society)
by Harry Hiller
Rather than interpreting the Olympics as primarily a sporting event of international or national significance, this book understands the Games as a civic project for the host city that serves as a catalyst for a variety of urban interests over a period of many years from the bidding phase through the event itself. Traditional Olympic studies have tended to examine the Games from an outsider's perspective or as something experienced through the print media or television. In contrast, the focus pr...
On Community (Boston University Studies in Philosophy & Religion, v. 12)
by Leroy S. Rouner
The individualism and restless mobility of modernity have become disorienting and frightening. Our nostalgia for premodern times, when natural bonds to kith and kin were unshakable, continues to surface - most recently in the popular phenomenon of support groups.

Social Work Intervention in an Economic Crisis: The River Communities Project
When the Center Is on Fire
by Diane Harriford and Professor Becky Thompson
In this lively and provocative book, two feminist public sociologists turn to classical social thinkers—W. E. B.
