Richard Müller, a leading figure of the German Revolution in 1918, is unknown today. As the operator and unionist who represented Berlin’s metalworkers, he was main organiser of the ‘Revolutionary Stewards’, a clandestine network that organised a series of mass strikes between 1916 and 1918. With strong support in the factories, the Revolutionary Stewards were the driving force of the Revolution. By telling Müller's story, this study gives a very different account of the revolutionary birth of the Weimar Republic. Using new archival sources and abandoning the traditional focus on the history of political parties, Ralf Hoffrogge zooms in on working class politics on the shop floor and its contribution to social change. First published in German by Karl Dietz Verlag as Richard Müller - Der Mann hinter der November Revolution, Berlin, 2008, this english edition was completerly revised for the english speaking audience and contains new sources and recent literature.

As we begin the third millennium there is cause for cautious optimism regarding the human prospect. Democratic revolutions and the doctrine of universal human rights have captured the imagination of large sectors of humanity, while major advances in science and technology continue to conquer disease and extend life, contributing to rising standards of living, affluence, and cultural freedom on a worldwide basis. Paradoxically, at the same time ancient authoritarian fundamentalist religions have grown in vitriolic intensity along with bizarre New Age, media-driven paranormal belief systems. Also surprising is the resurgence of primitive tribal and ethnic loyalties, unleashing wars of intolera...
The ethics of sports medicine is an important emerging area within biomedical ethics. The professionalization of medical support services in sport and continuing debates around issues such as performance-enhancing technologies or the health and welfare of athletes mean that all practitioners in sport, as well as researchers with an interest in sports ethics, need to develop a clear understanding of the ethical aspects of the sport–medicine nexus. This timely collection of articles explores the conceptual and practical issues that shape and define ethics in sports medicine. Examining central topics such as consent, confidentiality, pain, doping and genetic technology, this book establishes an important baseline for future academic and professional work in this area.

Körper, Wissen, Macht und Geschlecht gelten als prominente Begriffe mit hoher theoretischer und praktischer Bedeutsamkeit. Der sozial- und sportwissenschaftlich ausgerichtete Sammelband setzt bei der Verschränkung dieser Begrifflichkeiten an und fokussiert auf ausgewählte Zusammenhänge zwischen diesen. Mit je individuellem Schwerpunkt zoomen die einzelnen Beiträge auf Themen, wie z. B. "Körperpraxen der Geschlechterdifferenz" (Michael Meuser), "Geschlechtsspezifische Körperpolitiken im Sport" (Robert Gugutzer) oder "Geschlechtsbezogene Bewegungssozialisation in der Kindheit" (Ina Hunger). Bezugsfelder anderer Beiträge sind u.a. Sportunterricht, Fitnessstudios, Sportjournalismus oder queere Sportgruppen.
Nachdem Band I der Historie der deutschen Sportwissenschaft von 1900 bis 1945 ihre Vorgeschichte von der Jahrhundertwende um 1900 bis zum Ende des Ersten Weltkriegs und Band II die ersten Jahre der privaten Deutschen Hochschule für Leibesübungen (DHfL) behandelt hatte, steht nun die Gründungsphase der staatlichen Universitätsinstitute für Leibesübungen (IfL) zwischen 1920 und 1925 im Zentrum. Zwar erfolgte erst 1920 die Einweihung des ersten IfL, aber bereits 1925 konnte ihre flächendeckende Verbreitung in Deutschland durch den preußischen Ministerialerlaß vom 30. September 1925 abgeschlossen werden. Neben der erstmals erfolgten Untersuchung der Beziehung von Hochschulsport und Turn...
