Sociology of Sport

Sociology of Sport

George H. Sage; D. Stanley Eitzen; Becky Beal

Oxford University Press
2022
muu
This engaging, comprehensive textbook for sociology of sport courses takes a critical approach, focusing in particular on issues of power and inequality. By addressing questions such as "Are sports free of racism and sexism?" and "Who pays for, and who benefits from, sports?", students understand sport from a sociological perspective rather than as simply a spectator or participant.

Integrated Neuroscience and Neurology

Integrated Neuroscience and Neurology

Elliott M. Marcus; Stanley Jacobson; Thomas D. Sabin

Oxford University Press Inc
2014
sidottu
Integrated Neuroscience argues that in order to make an intelligent diagnosis and provide a rational treatment nervous system disorders, it is necessary to answer the basic questions of clinical neurology. Where is the disease process located, and what is the nature of the disease process? For students to answer these questions, the authors first review the makeup of the cells within the central nervous system and the development of the regions within the central nervous system. A detailed anatomical overview of the nervous system, starting at the spinal cord, proceeding to the brain stem, diencephalon and cerebrum follows. This textbook focuses not only on localized diseases caused by infectious diseases, trauma, tumors, and vascular lesions within the central nervous system, but also these diseases within the systems of the brain and spinal cord. Over 250 real cases with associated MRI or CTs and any pathological findings from these patients illustrate numerous disorders and fully explain the nature of the pathology. The authors have also included six problem solving sessions in which the student must identify the ongoing disease process, what caused it, and how best to treat it. Throughout the discussion in this text the authors also correlate the neurological findings to the underlying anatomy of the region.

Rhythms of Dialogue in Infancy

Rhythms of Dialogue in Infancy

Joseph Jaffe; Beatrice Beebe; Stanley Feldstein; Cynthia L. Crown; Michael D. Jasnow

Blackwell Publishers

Coordination between infant and adult is thought to be essential to infant development. However, the study is theoretically and methodologically grounded in a dyadic systems perspective and relational psychoanalysis. Our automated apparatus explores the micro-second timing of 4-month infant-adult vocal coordination to predict 12-month infant attachment and cognition. This work also further defines a fundamental dyadic timing matrix that guides the trajectory of infant development.

The Politics of Presidential Impeachment

The Politics of Presidential Impeachment

Daniel P. Franklin; Stanley M. Caress; Robert M. Sanders; Cole D. Taratoot

State University of New York Press
2020
sidottu
Argues that impeachment may no longer be an effective check on overreach by American presidents.The Politics of Presidential Impeachment takes a distinctive and fresh look at the impeachment provision of the US Constitution. Instead of studying it from a legal-constitutional perspective, the authors use a social science approach incorporating extensive case studies and quantitative analysis. Focusing on four presidents who faced impeachment processes-Andrew Johnson, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, and Bill Clinton-they examine the conditions under which presidential impeachment is likely to occur and argue that partisanship and the evolving relationship between Congress and the president determine its effectiveness as an institutional constraint. They find that, in our contemporary political context, the propensity of Congress to utilize the impeachment tool is more likely, but given the state of heightened partisanship, impeachment is less likely to result in removal of a president. The authors conclude that impeachment is no longer a credible threat and thus no longer an effective tool in the arsenal of checks and balances. The book also offers a postscript that discusses the impeachment of President Donald J. Trump.

The Complete Bible Outline Series Vol VI: The Synoptics And The Book Of Acts

The Complete Bible Outline Series Vol VI: The Synoptics And The Book Of Acts

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform

THE PURPOSE OF THESE OUTLINES The purpose of these outlines is three-fold: to present an analysis, an interpretation, and a synthesis of the basic contents of each book of the Bible. The intent of analysis is to lay bare the content for examination; that of interpretation is to reveal and, explain its meaning; and the intent of synthesis is to develop the materials in an organized structure for purposes of better understanding, exposition, and application. In developing these materials in this form this three-fold purpose has been kept in mind. An effort has been made to analyze or open up the native message and to synthesize or develop this basic content in an inductively-conceived structural form, genuinely related to the various contexts. The outline designations, however, are given with an interpretive flavor rather than in a purely historical framework. For instance, the life of Abraham is divided into three periods related to faith: 1) the awakening of faith; 2) the rewarding of faith; and 3) the perfecting of faith. We have thus attempted to blend the three essential elements of analysis, interpreta¬tion, and synthesis into one. THE FOUNDATIONAL CHARACTER OF THESE OUTLINES It is believed that each Biblical passage has an historical significance, a theological significance, and spiritual principle (s) for current applications. The student of the Bible should learn to discern these essential elements as he studies each passage. It is not enough to know the historical story; one should discover what truth the story teaches about God, and with this background, discern the abiding principle(s) involved. With these materials and principles firmly grasped from the individual contexts, one may build theological structures and homiletical treatises with confidence. Without a mastery of these basic Biblical materials it is foolhardy to attempt the structural work of theology and exposition. THE SOURCES AND SCOPE OF THESE OUTLINES The materials herein presented have been garnered and organized from a wide range of scopic, introductory, expositional, exegetical, and archaeological works, most of which are listed in the various bibliographies given. The watchword in gleaning and organization has been selectivity in keeping with inductively conceived principles of hermeneutics for Bible understanding. The emphasis throughout is on a strong adherence to the Bible text itself as understood in the grammatical historical contextual setting. To live with the prophets and apostles as they spoke God's Word out of living historical situations and experiences with God, is to catch a fresh insight into the mind of the Almighty and His program for the redeemed. It is hoped that these materials will spark a kindred interest and enthusiasm in the student for the Word of God which is living and active and bears its own guarantee that it will inevitably accomplish God's will.

OSHA (29 CFR 1910.119) has recognized AIChE/DIERS two-phase flow publications as examples of "good engineering practice" for process safety management of highly hazardous materials. The prediction of when two-phase flow venting will occur, and the applicability of various sizing methods for two-phase vapor-liquid flashing flow, is of particular interest when designing emergency relief systems to handle runaway reactions. This comprehensive sourcebook brings together a wealth of information on methods that can be used to safely size emergency relief systems for two-phase vapor-liquid flow for flashing or frozen, viscous or nonviscous fluids. Design methodologies are illustrated by selected sample problems. Written by industrial experts in the safety field, this book will be invaluable to those charged with operating, designing, or managing today's and tomorrow's chemical process industry facilities.
