So Many the Colors in the World: the Paintings of Andrea Scott
Paint, paper, water, brush. So many colors in the world await. With more than 80 full-color reproductions of watercolors by Andrea Scott, this book traces one painter's exploration of the nature of craft, art, and creativity. The path winds mostly through the Arcadian landscape of rural New England. Glimpsed along the way: a river falling over ledges of limestone, trees arched and elegant in October sunlight, a roadside barn on a hot afternoon, a hayfield bleached by summer sun. Andrea Scott lives and works in New York and Massachusetts. In addition to painting, she works as a writer, editor, and publication designer and consultant.
The Social Organization of Sports Medicine
The Social Organization of Sports Medicine is the first book-length overview of the social scientific study of sports medicine, drawing together work from an international cadre of scholars who examine and provide interdisciplinary analysis of the dynamic and multi-faceted relationships between sports and medicine and within sports medicine. The book charts changing perceptions of sport within medical discourse, attempts by sports medicine providers to forge professional identities in response to these processes, the day-to-day experiences of deliverers of sports medicine and the reactions of recipients of that healthcare. The contents are organized in four sections, examining the competing and changing ways in which sports medicine is conceived, the ways in which it is organized, the ways in which it is practiced, and points of contestation between traditional and alternative and emerging forms of (sports) medicine. This collection of essays consolidates recent advances in this area of study and establishes a basis for the future development of the field.
