World of Sport examines the development of modern sport from the mid-nineteenth century to the 1960s in the light of transnational approaches to history. Critically probing existing studies and offering new insights, this volume demonstrates that while sport was a national and international phenomenon, it was invariably constructed transnationally. Taking in topics ranging from the dissemination of football codes to transpacific surfing cultures, and the touring lives of baseball and hockey players to the contact zones of international competition, it emphasises the importance of transnational perspectives in the way people around the globe experience sport. Like other forms of popular cultu...

Over recent decades, legal language and its representation of social action, social actors and social practices have provided systematic insights into the meaning and function of text, discourse or talk realised in academic, professional and institutional sites of communication, and generated a variety of data for analysis, method and theory. Constructing Legal Discourses and Social Practices, the first issue of the Legal Discourse and Communication international series, looks descriptively and interpretatively at the realised forms of legal discourse and how these are framed and organised by social practices within distinctive sites of legal communication. The four main parts of the book pr...
AN EVIL FROM THE VERY BEGINNING IS STILL HERE... Trapped behind the veil of another reality, a Fallen angel from antiquity sets in motion a plan of escape—a plan which involves summoning his real world progeny to himself through an oceanic gateway. As the day of escape nears, those the angel has abducted fight to flee the island themselves. But can they decode the megalithic formulas in time, or will they be left behind, trapped in an unsettled version of Bermuda for the rest of their lives? And if the angel does escape back to the real world, will he succeed in freeing his condemned brethren from Tartarus, unleashing tribulation on the earth in an attempt to reinstate a long lost Golden A...
This book presents 123 calling cards of artists (painters, sculptors, photographers, architects, graphic designers, illustrators etc.) from the 18th century to the present day. The facsimiled cards are slipped like bookmarks into a book by several authors on the history of the use of calling cards, the social context in which they were produced, and related historical and fictional narratives. The often unexpected graphic qualities of these personalized objects, each designed to capture an individual identity within the narrow confines of a tiny rectangle card, implicitly recount a history of taste and typographic codes in the West. But this calling card collection also lays the foundations ...
