In this playfully serious investigation based on factual accounts, anecdotes, literary works, and films, Karl Guthke explores the cultural importance of those words spoken at the border between this world and the next. The exit lines of both famous and ordinary people embody for us a sense of drama and truthfulness and reveal much about our thoughts on living and dying. Why this interest in last words? Presenting statements from such figures as Socrates, Nathan Hale, Marie Antoinette, and Oscar Wilde ("I am dying as I have lived, beyond my means"), Guthke examines our fascination in terms of our need for closure, our desire for immortality, and our attraction to the mystique of death scenes. The author considers both authentic and invented final statements as he looks at the formation of symbols and legends and their function in our culture. Last words, handed down from generation to generation like cultural heirlooms, have a good chance of surviving in our collective memory. They are shown to epitomize a life, convey a sense of irony, or play to an audience, as in the case of the assassinated Mexican revolutionary Pancho Villa, who is said to have died imploring journalists: "Don't let it end like this. Tell them I said something.

Recommendations and for the Road Ahead. 330 $aIn 2012, over four billion people tuned in to watch the London Summer Olympics. As the single largest mega-event in the world, the Olympics has the power to captivate the global imagination. Long before athletes vie for a gold medal, however, competition between cities eager to host the Games kicks off with a rigorous bid process. The lengthy and expensive endeavor to host the Olympics is as high-stakes as any sporting event. Rather than encouraging cities to refrain from bidding, Bidding for Development takes a policy approach that challenges stakeholders to bid responsibly and strategically in pursuit of concrete outcomes.   Every bid city has the potential to accelerate long-term transportation development through a strategic and robust planning process. This book concentrates on the phenomenon of repeat Olympic bids and the opportunities that may come from bidding, particularly for those cities that never win the Games. In this context, Bidding for Development explores the intersection between transportation infrastructure development, the Olympic bid process, and the resulting legacies experienced by bid losers. The findings address the central question: how can participating in the Olympic bid process accelerate transportation development regardless of the bid result?   In response, this book presents a Bid Framework outlining how and when cities may use the bid to unite resources, align transportation priorities, and empower leaders to achieve urban development objectives in preparation for the Olympic bid. The Bid Framework is then applied to two case studies, Manchester and Istanbul, to examine each bid loser's effectiveness in using the bid process to catalyze transportation development. Concurrently, the book takes into consideration how the International Olympic Committee?s evolving bid regulations and requirements relate to urban development and positive social legacy. Bidding for Development delivers actionable recommendations for all Olympic stakeholders to improve the value of the bid process and transportation benefits beyond the Games. 410 0$aSports Economics, Management and Policy,$x2191-298X ;$v9 606 $aEconomics 606 $aManagement science 606 $aPublic administration 606 $aTransportation 606 $aEconomics, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W00000 606 $aPublic Administration$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W34030 606 $aTransportation$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/119000 615 0$aEconomics. 615 0$aManagement science. 615 0$aPublic administration. 615 0$aTransportation. 615 14$aEconomics, general. 615 24$aPublic Administration. 615 24$aTransportation. 676 $a796.480681 700 $aAbebe$b Ngiste$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01060111 702 $aBolton$b Mary Trina$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aPavelka$b Maggie$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aPierstorff$b Morgan$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298546103321 996 $aBidding for Development$92511270 997 $aUNINA
