A Little Excitement
Tired of the winter, Jimmy wishes for a little excitement and, to his dismay, gets it.
Sport and Leisure in the Civilizing Process
How do figurational sociologists approach the subjects of sport and leisure? How does their approach differ from other approaches in the field? This major collection, edited by leading writers on sport and leisure, offers a superb introduction to the figurational sociology of sport and leisure. The distinctive features of the approach are clearly explained and contributors show how figurational sociology is applied in the analysis of concrete problems. However, the collection also gives space to critics of the figurational approach. Included here are contributions which claim that the approach is inaccurate, blinkered and irrelevant.
Mapping English Metaphor Through Time
This volume offers an empirical and diachronic investigation of the foundations and nature of metaphor in English, based on evidence from The Historical Thesaurus of English. It offers case studies of a number of semantic domains and provides a significant step forward in the data-driven understanding of metaphor.
The Dangerous Edge
Why do many people enjoy risky activities--skydiving, bullfighting, or fast driving--that cause fear in others? Every normal human being seems to need excitement at times, yet for years this need remained largely unstudied. Now a professor of psychology explains why we experience the need for excitement at various times and what happens when excitement-seeking goes wrong.
Sexual Excitement
This book aims to show that the function of day-dreams is to state a problem that has been disguised and then to solve it, the problem and the solution being the poles between which excitement flows.

The Problem of Dark-Cutting in Beef
This publication contains the proceedings of a seminar 'The problems of dark-cutting in beef' held by the Commission of the European Communities (CEC) at the Commission in Brussels on 7 and 8 October 1980. As part of the CEC programme of coordination of agricultural research, this meeting was organised in the framework of the beef and animal welfare activities by Dr. D.E. Hood and Dr. P.V. Tarrant, Meat Research Department, An Faras Taluntais. Dunsinea, Castleknock, Dublin, Ireland. The proceedings, edited by the organisers assisted by Janssen Services, 33a, High Street, Chislehurst, Kent, UK, provide an authoritative text-book on this important aspect of meat technology. Reduction of pre-slaughter stress and improvement in carcass and meat quality is becoming increasingly important in the international meat trade. This results in particular from growing consumer concern about the welfare of meat animals during the pre-slaughter period and from specific meat packaging and marketing requirements. Technical development of the beef processing industry is dependent on a uniformly high level of meat quality in the raw material.
Winning in Job Interviews
The fact that the South African labour market is almost saturated is beyond dispute. Among other things, this means that organisations are becoming stricter in their selection policies as a result of this situation. Interviews are traditionally used as a favoured selection tool after the screening and shortlisting process. In this book, job seekers and prospective employees are assisted with some relevant technical skills, and their awareness of psychological dynamics in job interviews will be raised for success. The book also empowers employees who attend job interviews for promotion posts at different levels in organisations. Winning in Job Interviews: A Psychological Perspective is written in an interactive, reader-friendly manner and caters to the needs of different readers. The main benefits that readers would accrue after journeying through the pages of this book are increased confidence on job interviews and enhanced employability.
