    Not since Tailhook has the Navy seen a scandal of such sweeping proportions. Hornet’s Nest is the compelling and often shocking account of one of the Navy’s first female fighter pilots, Missy Cummings. The story follows Missy as she graduates from the U.S. Naval Academy and enters the Navy’s extremely demanding and dangerous jet pilot training. Missy’s recounting of her first tour in the Philippines seems surreal as she describes the sexually charged and predatory atmosphere condoned on U.S. foreign military installations. Missy is then selected to transition into the fighter combat squadrons in 1993 when the combat exclusion law is repealed. The Navy, and especially the fighter community, is not ready to accept women in the roles of warriors and fighter pilots. Her tour in fighters is marred by blatant discrimination and criminal acts of sabotage by both her peers and superiors. Because of her extremely hostile work environment, she eventually elects to resign from the Navy. Missy then concludes this real life drama with a critical analysis of the integration of women into combat pilot roles, and the future of women in combat aviation. “A brutally honest book by a courageous naval officer. Cummings’ Hornet’s Nest is a must read for anybody who wants the real inside story about the United States Navy.” —Gregory L. Vistica, Newsweek Correspondent and author of Fall From Glory, the Men Who Sank the U.S. Navy “Rarely do I get an opportunity to read a manuscript written in the “whole cloth” of someone who has been there and done that, but which is also articulately written and artfully constructed.

  • Daniel Parnell and Peter Krustrup (Eds.) 2017 Sport and Health: the Current State of Play
    Daniel Parnell and Peter Krustrup (eds.) 2017 Sport and Health: The Current State of Play. Routledge: London Chapter 11: Healthy Sport Consumption: Moving Away from Pies and Beer Keith D. Parry, David Rowe, Emma S. George and Timothy J. Hall Chapter 11 p219-237 Introduction Some Australian sports teams are struggling to encourage an increasingly sedentary population to attend live events, while the amount of sport available on television and via the internet is rising. For example, in 2016 Australia’s Channel 7 (a free-to-air broadcaster) aired 3,000 hours of Olympic content across three mainstream television stations and live-streams through the 7 Olympics app. In June 2016, Fox Sports (a subscription television service owned by News Corp Australia) delivered round-the-clock coverage of Wimbledon and offered 12 sport channels, providing 24/7 sports coverage – with one channel dedicated to rugby league. Fans in Australia (and elsewhere) can now watch sport on television at any time of the day or night, and stream sport endlessly on their mobile devices. The struggle to encourage spectators to attend sporting venues is also compounded by negative factors such as poor quality, high priced food and beverages at the stadium. The high prices at some Australian venues have resulted in concerns that watching sport at stadiums may no longer be affordable for ‘the common person’, particularly those with families (Sutton, 2017). A sport stadium is a specific environment that, like airports and concert venues, is physically sealed off from the outside world. It is a space where there is contestation over the consumptive behaviour of sport fans.
