Euphoria and Exhaustion
The architects of the Soviet Union intended not merely to remake their society--they also had an ambitious plan to remake the citizenry physically, with the goal of perfecting the socialist ideal of man. As Euphoria and Exhaustionshows, the Soviet leadership used sport as one of the primary arenas in which to deploy and test their efforts to mechanize and perfect the human body, drawing on knowledge from physiology, biology, medicine, and hygiene. At the same time, however, such efforts, like any form of social control, could easily lead to discontent--and thus, the editors show, a study of changes in public attitude towards sport can offer insight into overall levels of integration, dissatisfaction, and social exhaustion in the Soviet Union.

Becoming Roman?
Few empires had such an impact on the conquered peoples as did the Roman empire, creating social, economic, and cultural changes that erased long-standing differences in material culture, languages, cults, rituals and identities. But even Rome could not create a single unified culture. Individual decisions introduced changes in material culture, identity, and behavior, creating local cultures within the global world of the Roman empire that were neither Roman nor native. The author uses Northwest Italy as an exemplary case as it went from a marginal zone to one of the most flourishing and strongly urbanized regions of Italy, while developing a unique regional culture. This volume will appeal to researchers interested in the Roman Empire, as well as those interested in individual and cultural identity in the past.

Hochbegabung, Begabung und Inklusion
Hochbegabung wird vielfach als pädagogisches Phänomen betrachtet, weniger als Gegenstand empirischer Bildungsforschung.Vor dem Hintergrund von Schulentwicklungsprozessen in schulischen Netzwerken wird in dieser Studie ein solcher Ansatz gesucht. Als empirisches Fallbeispiel dienen die Kooperationen „Hochbegabung fördern“ in Niedersachsen, die seit 2003 als flächendeckendes, bildungspolitisches Konzept zur bildungsgerechten und durchlässigen Entwicklung von Begabungen eingeführt wurden. Über den Ansatz der Educational-Governance-Forschung wird auf Basis qualitativer Daten gezeigt, welchen Beitrag die Leitidee 'Hochbegabungsförderung' perspektivisch für Inklusion leistet und wie sich in diesem Kontext produktive Schulentwicklung auf den verschiedenen Steuerungsebenen von Schulverwaltung und Schule realisiert.
International Day of Persons with Disabilities – Children’s Disabilities
The International Day of Persons with Disabilities (IDPD) serves to globally promote an understanding of disability issues and mobilize support for the dignity, rights, and well-being of persons with disabilities. The theme of the most recent United Nations Day was “transformative solutions for inclusive development: the role of innovation in fuelling an accessible and equitable world”. It is in this spirit that Frontiers in Public Health is launching a new article collection inspired by this UN day, with a specific focus on children with disabilities and how innovative public health solutions to support them can contribute to making the world a more equitable and prosperous world for all.
Under the Mopane Tree. Holocene Settlement in Northern Namibia
The main research focus of the Collaborative Research Centre SFB 389 ACACIA (Arid Climate Adaptation and Cultural Innovation in Africa), established at the University of Cologne in 1995, was the interaction between man and arid environments in Africa (KUPER et al. 2007). An important part was played by the diachronic examination of these processes and their development during the Holocene period in Northeast and Southwest Af ri ca. A longterm aim of the interdisciplinary research projects was the comparison of the Holocene settlement history and palaeoecology and the identification of common and divergent developments in both hemispheres. The volume at hand describes some results of the proj...
