The Rushden Years

The Rushden Years

Steven Bennett

Lulu.com
2018
pokkari
This book is a brief memory of my life between the years 1975 and 1995 in Rushden, Northamptonshire. It is open and frank and talks about the happiness and the heartbreak during this time. Life can make you feel great and it can make you feel dejected and miserable. Like most people I have had plenty of both in my life. In some parts of the book it felt like life wasn't worth living but fortunately we can climb back up and start again. When the same thing happened again, I wondered how I'd be able to go on? This is the second book about my life, the first one From Zero to Eighteen in Hayes, is about my childhood and how things were back then in Hayes, West London.

Valiant the saviour the RMS Titanic! Valiant, the most eligible bachelor of the year as voted by the readers of the Ladies Gazette!

The Russians won t know what hit them.

Steven Aspinall

"[...] In passato, Cataldo Teatini aveva connesso la produzione poetica di Steven Aspinall a talune esemplificazioni ascrivibili alle ariette metastasiane, non cogliendo altresi la profonda ispirazione dantesca e stilnovistica (quando non, "absit iniuria verbo", schiettamente petrarchesca) presente nelle liriche in questione. Io, pero, non sono che un semplice critico letterario e non un piccolo fanciullo che piange (mi sia consentita la parafrasi corazziniana) e dunque mi permetto di dire che nelle liriche aspinalliane si possono ritrovare accenti che sono certamente relativi ad una magistrale, preziosa, grande storia d'amore. Una storia d'amore, ribadisco, che e nata all'interno di un mondo occulto ed esoterico, pur senza violare nessun dettame di quel Dio degli Amanti che regola la devozione e il contatto di chi si connette ad esso, e che pure ha la stessa forza e lo stesso spessore diamantifero di un connubio immortale e inestinguibile [...]".

Two student flatmates living out a very meagre hand-to-mouth existence in the centre of Glasgow find themselves the lucky recipients of a winning lottery ticket. The only catch is that it is in America and was sent to them by a supposed long lost uncle (and conman). A man serving time in a state penitentiary for armed robbery. But more significantly a man in serious trouble with the Mob. In just a few short days our two innocent student pals find themselves caught up and embroiled in a dangerous world of greed, revenge and murder. Who lives, who dies and who ultimately gets their hands on that fortune in this fast paced black comedy romp?

One School One Planet Vol. 1

Steven Jones; Jack Hunter

Lulu.com
2017
pokkari
Facing up to the challenges of our changing climate goes much deeper than erecting a few wind turbines and switching to a Honda Prius - it challenges the very heart of our, social, cultural and economic models. The transition before us will require active involvement from everybody. What if we can find new ways of working that are actively beneficial - methods of building, farming and living that lock carbon away in plants and soils - while also meeting the needs of the 7 billion of us? If each person can have a net beneficial impact on planet and climate then maybe, at this moment when we are facing our greatest challenge, the many hands available to us will become a big part of the solution. The One School One Planet project has been working to bring some of these ideas into the mainstream school curriculum, and this small book is a record of our efforts at achieving this. www.llanfyllin.sector39.co.uk

The Sport Marriage

The Sport Marriage

Steven M. Ortiz

University of Illinois Press
2020
sidottu
In The Sport Marriage, Steven M. Ortiz draws on studies he conducted over nearly three decades that focus on the marital realities confronted by women married to male professional athletes. These women, who are usually portrayed in unflattering and/or unrealistic terms, face enormous challenges in their attempts to establish and maintain functional marital and family lives while the husband routinely puts his career first. Ortiz defines the traditional sport marriage as a career-dominated marriage, illustrating how it encourages women to contribute to their own subordination through adherence to an unwritten rulebook and a repertoire of self-management strategies. He explains how they make invaluable contributions to their husbands’ careers while adjusting to public life and trying to maintain family privacy, managing power and control issues, and coping with pervasive groupies, overinvolved mothers, a culture of infidelity, and husbands who prioritize team loyalty. He gives these historically silent women a voice, offering readers perceptive and sensitive insight into what it means to be a woman in the male-dominated world of professional sports.

Strong Winds and Widow Makers

Strong Winds and Widow Makers

Steven C. Beda

UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS PRESS
2022
sidottu
Winner of the 2022 Philip Taft Labor History Book Prize Often cast as villains in the Northwest's environmental battles, timber workers in fact have a connection to the forest that goes far beyond jobs and economic issues. Steven C. Beda explores the complex true story of how and why timber-working communities have concerned themselves with the health and future of the woods surrounding them. Life experiences like hunting, fishing, foraging, and hiking imbued timber country with meanings and values that nurtured a deep sense of place in workers, their families, and their communities. This sense of place in turn shaped ideas about protection that sometimes clashed with the views of environmentalists--or the desires of employers. Beda's sympathetic, in-depth look at the human beings whose lives are embedded in the woods helps us understand that timber communities fought not just to protect their livelihood, but because they saw the forest as a vital part of themselves.

The Digital NBA

The Digital NBA

Steven Secular

UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS PRESS
2023
sidottu
The National Basketball Association reaches a global audience via a multiplatform strategy that leverages its uncanny ability to connect fans to all things NBA. Steven Secular brings readers inside the league’s global operations and traces the history of the NBA’s approach to sports media from its 1980s embrace of cable through the streaming revolution of the twenty-first century. As fans around the world stream games and other league content, NBA teams incorporate foreign languages and cultures into broadcasts to boost their product’s appeal to audiences in Brazil, China, and beyond. Secular’s analysis reveals how the NBA continues to transform itself into a wildly successful media producer and distributor more akin to a streaming studio than the sports leagues of old even as its media partners and sponsors erase any notion of sports as a civic good. A timely look at a dynamic media landscape, The Digital NBA shows how the games we love became content first and sport a distant second.

Barrio Rhythm

Barrio Rhythm

Steven Loza

University of Illinois Press
1993
nidottu
The hit movie La Bamba (based on the life of Richie Valens), the versatile singer Linda Ronstadt, and the popular rock group Los Lobos all have roots in the dynamic music of the Mexican American community in East Los Angeles. The "Eastside Renaissance" in the region gave barrio music a symbolic power throughout the Southwest, yet its story has remained undocumented and virtually untold. In Barrio Rhythm, Steven Loza brings this hidden history to life, demonstrating the music's essential role in the cultural development of East Los Angeles and its influence on mainstream popular culture. Drawing from oral histories and other primary sources, as well as from appropriate representative songs, Loza provides a historical overview of the music from the nineteenth century to the present and offers in-depth profiles of nine Mexican American artists, groups, and entrepreneurs in Southern California from the post-World War II era to the present. His interviews with many of today's most influential barrio musicians, including members of Los Lobos, chronicle the cultural forces active in this complex urban community.

Tito Puente and the Making of Latin Music

Tito Puente and the Making of Latin Music

Steven Loza

University of Illinois Press
1999
nidottu
He is known as "El Rey" - the king - and has come to epitomize the Latin experience in music, not just to Latinos throughout the United States and Latin America but to a worldwide audience of all backgrounds. "Tito Puente and the Making of Latin Music" is the first in-depth historical, musical, and cultural look at the career and the influence of this giant of Latin music. In this seminal work, Steven Loza brings the man and his music vividly to life through exclusive interviews with Puente and a number of his close associates, including Hilton Ruiz, Ray Santos, Jerry Gonzlez, Poncho Sanchez, and Joe Conzo, as well as music journalist Max Salazar and former DJ/producer Chico Sesma. Loza shows how Puente's music evolved in tandem with the crystallization of Latin music into its current compelling mix of Afro-Cuban music, salsa, and Latin jazz. Tracing Puente's innovations as a drummer and a bandleader, Loza defines his influence over the course of half a century on Latin music as well as on other musicians and musical genres.Loza also delineates the social and cultural history of Latin music, exploring questions of nationalism and ethnic expression, the play between musical creation and commercial competition, and the politics of so-called multiculturalism as they bear on Latin music and musicians. The book includes detailed musical analyses and a discography of more than a hundred recordings. Celebrating a dynamic performer and a genre that is deeply rooted in America's rich ethnic diversity, "Tito Puente and the Making of Latin Music" traces a significant current in twentieth-century culture and reveals all the vibrancy and color of a consummate artist's life, work, and world.

Nietzsche's Perspectivism

Nietzsche's Perspectivism

Steven D Hales; Rex Welshon

University of Illinois Press
2000
nidottu
In Nietzsche's Perspectivism, Steven Hales and Rex Welshon offer an analytic approach to Nietzsche's important idea that truth is perspectival. Drawing on Nietzsche's entire published corpus, along with manuscripts he never saw to press, they assess the different perspectivisms at work in Nietzsche's views with regard to truth, logic, causality, knowledge, consciousness, and the self. They also examine Nietzsche's perspectivist ontology of power and the attendant claims that substances and subjects are illusory while forces and alliances of power constitute the only reality. Hales and Welshon present Nietzsche's treatment of perspectivism as both more complex and more fruitful than the common view of it as a doctrine that truth is not objective. Neither a metaphor nor a methodology, perspectivism emerges as a protean concept akin to a unifying theme; an alternative to the absolutism that recurs in science, philosophy, and religion; and a technique for revealing the unimagined possibilities open to every individual.

This on-the-ground labor history chronicles the bitterly contested labor conflict in the mid 1990s at the A. E. Staley corn processing plant in Decatur, Illinois, where workers waged one of the most hard-fought struggles in recent labor history. When the company launched a full-scale assault on its workers, Allied Industrial Workers Local 837 responded by educating and mobilizing its members, organizing strong support from the religious and African American communities, building a nationwide solidarity movement, and engaging in nonviolent civil disobedience at the plant gates. Through scores of interviews and videotapes of every union meeting, the authors bring the workers' voices to the fore and reveal their innovative tactics that inform and strengthen today's labor movement.
