Off the Ice

SIE KÄMPFT GEGEN IHRE ANGST. ER GEGEN SEINEN RUF. DOCH GEGEN IHRE HERZEN HABEN BEIDE KEINE CHANCE ...

Der Traum von Eiskunstläuferin Sierra Romanova ist geplatzt. Nach einem schweren Unfall kann sie nicht bei den Olympischen Spielen antreten und hat Angst, aufs Eis zurückzukehren. Ausgerechnet Dylan Donovan, der wegen seines rücksichtslosen Verhaltens und der wilden Partyexzesse vom Eishockeyteam suspendiert wurde, stellt ihr Leben komplett auf den Kopf. Seine provokanten Worte treiben sie zurück aufs Eis - und schon bald kann sie auch außerhalb des Trainings nicht aufhören, an ihn zu denken. Als Sierra für ihr Comeback einen Partner braucht, ist Dylan ihre beste Chance. Und was für die beiden als absolute Notlösung beginnt, lässt schnell Gefühle aufkommen, die sie nicht mehr ignorieren können ...

Foundations of Fashion Studies

By the 1940s the New York fashion industry had come into its own. Sportswear, which had evolved from its origins to include simple casual wear for travel, leisure, town and country, was at the centre of this shift. Drawing on an array of sources, this book examines how New York sportswear evolved during the 1930s and 1940s to become the definitive American style. It reveals how designers such as Claire McCardell, Clare Potter and Tina Leser created a fashion identity for New York that was as dynamic and modern as the city itself. Author Rebecca Arnold interrogates the American ideal of athletic, long-limbed women and looks for the first time at how sportswear impacted and was impacted by ideas of patriotism and democracy, as well as its links to notions of cleanliness and hygiene, and to 1930s theories of body image and contemporary dance. As part of the Foundations of Fashion Studies series, this classic text now includes a new foreword by Emma McClendon and a new afterword and further reading list by the author.

Fashion, Sportswear and the Image of Women in 1930s and 1940s New York

The American Look

Examines the discordance among the public over controversial historic monumentsand how it should be addressed, highlighting how iconoclasm is confronted through global heritage management theory.

Throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the United States and Canada rarely experienced iconoclasm, the premeditated destruction of visual symbols, because of their specific emotional or ideological content in the public square. This is changing. As North Americans continue to reject the tangible and intangible heritage of institutionalized white supremacy, iconoclasm acts are happening with greater frequency. The death of George Floyd in May 2020 hastened the demand by Americans to remove historic monuments; so much so, that protesters took matters into their own hands and pulled down statues of historical figures, not limited to the American Civil War but also associated with European colonialism before the American Revolution and during the reign of Queen Victoria in Canada.&nbsp;

For historic preservationists and conservationists, iconoclasm is now the most consequential issue in the field and will continue to be a matter of contention for the foreseeable future. Motives for enacting iconoclasm can be justified, but what are the consequences for doing so, and how, in turn, will this determine the future of our public spaces in towns and cities? More fundamentally, is the current period of iconoclasm leading us to reconsider the public square as part of the built environment? This book will be the first theory-informed work to examine the discordance among the public over controversial historic monuments in the historic landscape and how it should be addressed. It challenges architects, landscape architects, conservationists, preservationists, elected officials, and the public to reconsider the public square and whether or not civic art that memorializes is still relevant or a practice that can be reimagined. It also considers the after-effects of iconoclasm acts: How should we redesign public civic spaces after we have either destroyed or removed historic monuments? As societal values change in regard to public memorialization, how will heritage practitioners, conservationist technicians, and urban designers grapple with working in the civic realm, which may be considered antiquated but continues to exist in our cities?

The book examines how iconoclasm is confronted through global heritage management theory. During the second half of the twentieth century, UNESCO and the European Union drafted charters to protect historic monuments from acts of war and degradation. The author considers these sets of principles and other international approaches to contested and conflicted heritage in addressing racism-based heritage that is embedded in North American heritage, from theoretical, architectural, and legal perspectives. France, which first experienced iconoclasm during the Revolution, has grappled with iconoclasm throughout its modern history. Revolutionary leader Henri Grégoire even invented a noun for it: "vandalism." Through the creation of an environment removed from a historic object's context-the public museum, the Louvre-France conceived institutional iconoclasm. From the revolutions and cultural upheavals of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to the calamities of two world wars in the twentieth century, Europeans have developed policy and a legal framework that address iconoclasm. The book intends to examine this legal framework closely. It will inform the direction that the North American heritage field should take in order to accept that heritage changes, and must change, in response to our own needs to acknowledge multiple histories and identities in a diverse society, while simultaneously recognizing that iconoclasm is a part of how a society resolves its emotional responses to its built heritage.

THE RULES THAT MAKE US 'With the eye of an anthropologist and the clarity of a storyteller, Oliver Sweet helps us see the water we all swim in - the invisible systems that shape our choices, our communities, and even our sense of self. This book doesn't just explain culture; it restores our ability to see it - to notice what we have stopped noticing ... I read it with gratitude and a sense of recognition: this is how deep seeing begins.' Christian Madsbjerg, author of Look and Sensemaking 'Oliver Sweet does something rare: he captures cultural complexity without flattening it into easy answers. The evidence is rigorous, the thinking is nuanced, and the whole thing feels genuinely contemporary.' Rob Scotland, head of brand marketing at Veo 'A must-read for anyone who wants to understand how the world really works.' Erin Meyer, author of The Culture Map 'Anthropology in technicolour - accessible, sharp and unsettling in all the right ways. It reminds us that culture doesn't just describe who we are; it scripts what we believe is possible.' Dr Lollie Mancey, programme director at UCD Innovation Academy Oliver Sweet's book is not only a highly informative read and riotously entertaining, but it's an important book ... It is a brilliant and truthful account of how culture shapes us, and more importantly how it unites us more than divides us.' Chloe Combi, author, speaker, columnist, consultant 'Policy makers, think tankers, businesses, consultants, listen up: Forget "nudge" and "behaviour change" - culture is where it's at!' Professor Martin Holbraad, director of Ethnographic Insights Lab, UCL 'The Rules That Make Us is more than a guide to culture; it's a framework for seeing the systems that shape belief, behaviour, and belonging. What makes it powerful is that it's not just theory - it's lived anthropology, translated into a way of thinking that anyone can use. This book doesn't just describe the world; it helps you understand how to work with it.' Murray Standford, head of anthropology, Coca-Cola

The Economist, Best Books of 2024 The Times, Best Ideas Books of 2024 A uniquely data-rich analysis of the British elite from the Victorian era to today: who gets in, how they get there, what they like and look like, where they go to school, and what politics they perpetuate. Are Britain's power brokers a conservative chumocracy, born to privilege and anointed at Eton and Oxford? Or is a new progressive elite emerging with different values and political instincts? In search of answers, Aaron Reeves and Sam Friedman scrutinized the profiles of over 125,000 members of the British elite from the late 1890s to today. At the heart of this meticulously researched study is the historical database of Who's Who, but Reeves and Friedman also mined genealogical records, examined probate data, and interviewed over 200 leading figures from a wide range of backgrounds to uncover who runs Britain. What they found is that there is less movement at the top than we think. Yes, there has been some progress on including women and Black and Asian Brits, but those born into the top 1 percent are just as likely to get into the elite today as they were 125 years ago. What has changed is how elites present themselves. Today's elite pedal hard to convince us they are perfectly ordinary. Why should we care? Because the elites we have affect the politics we get. While scholars have long proposed that the family you are born into, and the schools you attend, leave a mark on the exercise of power, the empirical evidence has been thin-until now.

The science of making the most of in-person work - whether it's one day a week or fiveFor the first time in history, millions of workers can do their jobs from anywhere - and the result is the most contentious workplace debate in generations. Now In Person offers the post-pandemic data that demonstrates why hybrid working is here to stay, and how to make it work for everyone.Harvard-trained economists Natalia Emanuel and Emma Harrington are leading researchers on remote and in-person work. They've spent years tracking millions of work hours across industries, analyzing Fortune 500 companies, startups, tech companies and call centres. Their findings?Remote work is good for crossing tasks off a to-do list, but it erodes the quality of our work, stifles creativity, and has negative effects on mental health.When we work face-to-face - at least some of the time - we are more:PROFITABLEACCURATETRUSTINGTRUSTWORTHYWorking side-by-side can be a powerful force to supercharge company performance. But many office policies miss this mark, focusing on employee attendance, instead of colleague alignment. Emanuel and Harrington offer solutions on how to craft the right policy that grants autonomy and flexibility, while maintaining creativity and profitability.After years of confusion, animosity, and conflicting mandates, In Person finally delivers the answers in a clear, evidence-based roadmap for making smarter decisions.Here, at last, is the data instead of the drama.

Now in a fully revised and updated new edition, Sport, Exercise and Social Theory is a concise and engaging introduction to the key theories that underpin the study of sport, exercise, and physical activity in society.Structured around C. Wright Mills's concept of the sociological imagination, the capacity to connect personal troubles to public issues and individual biographies to broader social structures, the book shows how theory can be used to debunk many of our traditional assumptions about sport and exercise, and how sport and physical activity can be a powerful window through which to observe and understand wider society. Designed to be used by students who have never studied sociology before, the book provides training in critical thinking and helps students develop intellectual skills that will serve them throughout their professional and personal lives. This new edition includes significantly expanded coverage of feminism and theories related to gender, including new material on the Manosphere, intersectionality, and the trans athletes debate, as well as completely new chapters on nationalism, decolonial perspectives, and ableism and disability. Every chapter includes updated cases and examples, from sportswashing and athlete activism to digital fan cultures, artificial intelligence, and the controversies around sporting mega-events, drawing throughout on the author's own internationally recognised research. Useful pedagogical features include 'Stop and Think' boxes, biographical notes on key theorists, and chapter summaries.This book is an essential companion to any course on sport and society, the sociology of sport, or the contemporary uses of social theory.Additional resources for instructors accompany this book, including classroom discussion topics and exercises, plus exam questions.

An Introduction

Sport, Exercise and Social Theory

Routledge Studies in Cultural Heritage and International Law

The Legal Pluralism of Heritage: Restitution and the Normative Knowledge of Communities of Origin explores one of the most urgent debates in international cultural heritage law today: the role of Indigenous laws and local norms about material culture in the restitution process.In an era of rising claims for restitution, this book examines how diverse legal and normative orders engage with communities seeking the return of cultural objects held in museums, private collections, and institutions worldwide. It argues that restitution processes need to consider the normative knowledge of communities of origin. Moving beyond conventional legal analysis, the volume includes theoretical interventions and case studies from (international) law, anthropology, archaeology, history, museum studies, art history and Indigenous legal studies, and from all five continents. It offers a new framework for understanding restitution not merely as a legal process, but as a dialogue between legal systems and the knowledge traditions of the communities to whom heritage belongs.Timely and thought-provoking, this book is an essential resource for researchers and practitioners in international law, legal history, historical anthropology, and cultural heritage studies.

Can one political leader change the course of history? Should CEOs be given big bonuses when a company performs well? Will firing a coach actually change the fortunes of the team? What does a religion's success owe to a charismatic founder? In a fresh take on the interplay of power, character and success, world-renowned historian and bestselling author Jared Diamond argues that great leaders are so much more than either heroic exceptions or products of circumstance. Looking at natural experiments in four different spheres - history, business, sport and religion - Diamond asks under which conditions is a leader most likely to make a difference and why. Drawing on examples of iconic leaders - from Botswana president Seretse Khama to environmentalist Rachel Carson to legendary UCLA basketball coach John Wooden - Diamond shows us how effectiveness is determined by a range of complex interrelated factors, from resources to geography, culture to technology. Profits, Prophets, Coaches and Kings is a thought-provoking assessment of when leaders can bring about effective change, when they don't, and perhaps whether we need them at all.

The Pucking Wrong Number&nbsp;meets Pucking Around&nbsp;in this spicy hockey romance where one girl becomes the obsession of three university hockey players. I only have one shot to make a life for myself, and more than just my future is on the line. My baby brother is still back in the dump I escaped from, still living in a house of cigarette butts stuffed in beer cans and slurred arguments. So now that I've gotten to Sovereign Kings University, I have to make it worth it. I'll keep my eyes down, ignore the rich kids’ taunts, and graduate. At least that was my plan before I busted the knee of a hockey player. Having possibly ruined the team’s chance of a championship, I'm now the target of the players. The golden boy captain, Alexander, is the ringleader of the popular students. Every day Kane—the tall, dark and perpetually pissed-off defense—finds a way to humiliate me. Yet, being painfully ignored by the huge, reserved goalie they call Mountain may just hurt the most. When the players aren’t making my life a living hell, these three are twisting me up inside with desire and glimpses of the real them. But can I risk losing my heart to one hockey player—let alone all three? I’m certainly in for a long, hard season. "The perfect amount of heat, darkness, and heartbreak. A must read." —J.L.
