Hezekiah Homes
In this book, a mother recounts the tragic accident that left her daughter with a severe brain injury. It is through these events that a heartwarming, eye-opening spiritual journey began that would not only bring her clarity about events that began to unfold around her weeks before her daughters accident occurred, but would also answer a lifelong mystery that has always plagued her: was God actually listening to her prayers? You will laugh, cry, and feel her frustration as she takes this journey, finally uncovering the truth!
Up Through an Empty House of Stars
At last, _Up Through an Empty House of Stars_ brings together the best of the never before collected SF reviews and articles that helped build David Langford's towering reputation since 1980. Complementing the review columns collected in _The Complete Critical Assembly_ and the knockabout essays and squibs in _The Silence of the Langford_, this volume's 100 glittering selections mix serious critical insight with the inimitable Langford wit. In 2002 David Langford won his sixteenth Hugo award as Best Fan Writer, for critical and humorous commentary on SF. In the same year his occasionally scandalous SF newsletter _Ansible_ won its fifth Hugo. Langford also received the 2001 Hugo for best shor...
Maps
Maps is the definitive collection of John Sladek's uncollected work put together by his friend, fellow writer and critic David Langford who also provides an introduction. It includes all the solo stories - science fiction, detective puzzles, mainstream, "non-fact" pieces - as well as poems, playlets, pseudonymous fiction, all the short collaborations with Thomas M. Disch (including three never previously published) and some witty autobiographical essays. Sladek, was as good a writer of satire as Vonnegut, and without the Vonnegut mannerisms. Unfortunately he never received the appropriate credit, except from a small following of devoted readers.
Gender in Physical Culture
This volume outlines existing research relating to gender in physical culture. The introductory chapter employs Lamont and Molnàr’s (2002) idea of ‘boundaries’ as visible and invisible socially constructed borders that create social differences, as the theoretical framework for the book. Seven empirically-driven case studies follow which, on the one hand, demonstrate how boundary ‘work’ has taken and is taking place at the level of media, institutions, communities and individuals; and on the other hand, show how individuals, groups of individuals and organisations challenge and change dominant gender discourses and practices. The wide variety of rich case materials reveal how gender ideals not only normalize, but are actively and purposefully negotiated and transformed to create individualised and inclusive physical culture contexts. The final chapter explores how the book builds on and extends existing gender and physical culture research. This book was originally published as a special issue of the journal Sport in Society.
Körper, Leib und Employability
Kerstin Discher nimmt auf Basis einer narrativen Analyse die Sichtweise junger Erwachsener auf den sozialstaatlichen Aktivierungsdiskurs in den Blick. Anhand biografischer Fallgeschichten verdeutlicht sie, wie junge Erwachsene im beruflichen Übergang auf die Anforderung der Employability - der Beschäftigungsfähigkeit im aktivierenden Sozialstaat - antworten. Der eigene Körper zeigt sich in den Narrationen dabei als bedeutsames Medium, den sozialstaatlichen und gesellschaftlichen Aktivierungsanforderungen zu begegnen. Die Studie ergänzt damit nicht nur die gesellschaftstheoretischen Debatten um Aktivierung und Employability um eine körpertheoretische Perspektive, sondern zeigt darüber auch die Relevanz des Körpers als Reflexionskategorie für (sozial)pädagogische Handlungsfelder auf.
