A Critical Realist Theory of Sport
Author: Graham Scambler
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000815331
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 206
Book Description
This book argues that sport in the era of global or financialised capitalism has undergone a process of fracturing, which requires a re-assessment of longstanding and consensual accounts of traditional-to-modern sporting activity. Considering rival concepts of sport, it presents detailed, illustrative studies of various types of sporting or athletic activity – including soccer, cricket, rugby and track and field – to advance an alternative sociological understanding of sport rooted in the philosophies and theories of critical realism and critical theory. As such, A Critical Realist Theory of Sport will appeal to scholars of sociology and social theory with interests in sport, research methods and critical realist thought.

Ladies First

Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 214
Book Description
Ladies First by Ashley Morrison is a compelling account of the remarkable journey undertaken by the Australian women's hockey team at the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games. These 16 women not only secured Australia's first Olympic Gold Medal in Hockey but also clinched the nation's first Gold Medal for a team sport. Yet, despite their incredible feat, their achievements have faded into relative obscurity over time compared with other Gold Medal winners. Morrison delves into the intriguing question of why this team, despite their groundbreaking success, has been largely overlooked by history. Set against the backdrop of one of the last 'amateur' Games, the story raises questions about the shifting landscape of sports and the challenges faced by female athletes in gaining recognition for their accomplishments. Through heartfelt storytelling, Ladies First shines a light on these trailblazing women who etched their names into Australia's sporting history, and who were the pioneers for the team we now know as the 'Hockeyroos', ensuring that their legacy is not forgotten.

Pages : 251
Book Description
Sound business knowledge isn’t enough for successful entrepreneurship. Knowledgeable entrepreneurs lead their businesses to failure every day. To be enduring and thriving entrepreneurs, we need Entrepreneurial Intelligence (EnQ) to translate our knowledge and our motivations into a profitable and rewarding business structure. Sandy Geyer has combined her skills with her experiences in her own journey as an entrepreneur to create an entertaining, enlightening and challenging training process for entrepreneurs, at all levels, to develop their EnQ. We simply cannot plot our way onto the right entrepreneurial path if we have no idea where we are currently standing, and why. Path of the Lion identifies limiting traits, tendencies and mistakes of the other three entrepreneurial species (the EnQ Rhino, the EnQ Fish Eagle and the EnQ Baboon), and formulates a clear path of learning and application of that learning so we can successfully follow the path of the ultimate king of the EnQ jungle, the EnQ Lion.

Stone Thrower
Author: Laurie D. Fisher
Publisher: Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.
ISBN: 1098099591
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 97
Book Description
As the days and times that we live in grow more and more evil, we, who profess to be Christians or Christ-like, can learn from God's Word how to be a stone thrower of the God-kind like David and not a stone thrower like the teachers of the law and the religious Pharisees who tried to trap Jesus into saying something incriminating so that they could bring charges against him. David was a stone thrower of the God-kind, and in the eyes of man, he looked insignificant but his heart having been tested and tried was found to be undivided and loyal and he was willing and obedient to fight for God's righteous cause, defeating the enemy of God. "For the eyes of the LORD run back and forth throughout the whole earth (eretz,) to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him" (2 Chronicles 16:9 HNV). God is looking for these stone throwers of a God-kind who he can show himself strong in and through in these last days. They are God-seekers, God-lovers, who are humble, willing, loyal, faithful, and courageous. They are obediently led by his Spirit to fulfill God's plan, always making their boast in the Lord and giving all the glory to God. Through this book, you will see the process that David went through in preparing him to fight for God's righteous cause. I strongly believe that as you read this book, you will receive understanding that everything in life that you have been through was not for your demise and how God can turn it all around and use it for his good to prepare you for his great exploits in these last days. My prayer for you is that your heart will be stirred to believe that perhaps "you-yes, you-are a stone thrower of the God-kind in the making."
