Description
"Benchmark Games is unique in that there has been no previous study of the staging and the legacy of a particular Paralympic Games. The book documents and analyses the new benchmarks that were set at the time of the successful Sydney Paralympic Games." "Benchmark Games explores many questions about the appeal of the Games to the community. It also considers the operation of disability sport and the place of the disability community in Australian life." --rear cover.
