The aim of "CriticalThinking and "r"eligious Folklore - Reader and Workbook" is to help students think critically about and analyze different kinds of writing. They can then arrive at their own understanding about the meaning of a reading selection. Students learn how to organize their thoughts and analysis so that they can write about their understanidng of each reading selection. "Critical Thinking and "r"eligious Folklore - Reader and Workbook" is a book of literature selections from "r"eligious folklore (See What is this book about? In COURSE INTRODUCTION which follows Table of Contents for a discussion of "r"eligious folklore.) The workbook is self-contained. All the readings are included in the workbook. Students complete most of the comprehension exercises and short written assignments in the workbook too. "Critical Thinking and "r"eligious Folklore - Read and Workbook" is designed for students in or above the middle school level. If you review the selections, you can easily see which can be used with lower level students, e.g., the stories St. George and the dragon in the chapter called Dragons, and which, with upper level students, the selections in the chapter entitled What the divine has touched. Students use folklore, such as short stories, poetry and ballads, lives of holy folk, etc., as the foundation for analyzing and thinking about the content, meaning, and themes of a selection. Graphics thinking organizers are the main vehicle that students use to help themselves: -analyze the meaning of each selection they read; -organize their thoughts in preparation for writing. The organizers cover such thinking or analytical areas as: comparison and contrast, classification, sorting, cause and effect, sequencing, etc. There is extensive guidance on how to fill out a graphic thinking organizer when each is first introduced. After applying an organizer to a particular text, students write their analysis, based on the reading selection and their completed thinking organizer. The section of the book entitled COURSE INTRODUCTION gives details about the relationship among reading, meaning and writing. The analysis using the graphics thinking organizers in "Critical Thinking and "r"eligious Folklore - Read and Workbook" as well as the preparation exercises for writing can be completed individually or in a group. A companion volume "'Snipp snapp snute, s er eventyret ute' - Folklore Reader and Critical Thinking Workbook" has additional critical thinking materials and different reading selections. Students who use the volume should have more options for analyzing and writing about other texts and literary selections they meet. They will probably be able to transfer much of the critical thinking "techniques" used in "Critical Thinking and "r"eligious Folklore - Read and Workbook" to other curriculum areas in their school work.

Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this practical analysis of sports law in Poland deals with the regulation of sports activity by both public authorities and private sports organizations. The growing internationalization of sports inevitably increases the weight of global regulation, yet each country maintains its own distinct regime of sports law and its own national and local sports organizations. Sports law at a national or organizational level thus gains a growing relevance in comparative law. The book describes and discusses both state-created rules and autonomous self-regulation regarding the variety of economic, social, commercial, cultural, and political aspects of sports activities. Self- regulation manifests itself in the form of by-laws, and encompasses organizational provisions, disciplinary rules, and rules of play. However, the trend towards more professionalism in sports and the growing economic, social and cultural relevance of sports have prompted an increasing reliance on legal rules adopted by public authorities. This form of regulation appears in a variety of legal areas, including criminal law, labour law, commercial law, tax law, competition law, and tort law, and may vary following a particular type or sector of sport. It is in this dual and overlapping context that such much-publicized aspects as doping, sponsoring and media, and responsibility for injuries are legally measured. This monograph fills a gap in the legal literature by giving academics, practitioners, sports organizations, and policy makers access to sports law at this specific level. Lawyers representing parties with interests in Poland will welcome this very useful guide, and academics and researchers will appreciate its value in the study of comparative sports law.
