Werner Reiterer Raw Loop
Richly illustrating the humor and intellectual complexity of Reiterer¿s work, the catalogue documents many of his sculptures and drawings, and includes installation images from his first solo show in the US at the Speed Art Museum. As well as commentaries about the artist¿s work by Georg Weckwerth (Director, Kunstverein Tonspur, Vienna) and Gabriele Mackert (Freelance Curator, Bremen) the artist joins a three-way discussion about his work with Julien Robson (Contemporary Curator, PAFA, Philadelphia) and Noel Smith (Curator, Contemporary Art Museum, Tampa). The catalogue will be published to coincide with the opening of the Speed show at the Contemporary Art Museum at USF Tampa, Florida, in January 2009.
Making Sense of Sports
This book looks at sport not just as recreation, but as an integral part of contemporary culture, with connections to industry, commerce and politics. It explores the history and theories of sport, and touches on more controversial issues.
Drugs and Drug Policy
This engaging text provides a cross-national perspective on the use and regulation of both legal and illegal drugs. It examines and critiques drug policies in the United States and abroad in terms of their scope, goals, and effectiveness. Authors Clayton J. Mosher and Scott Akins also discuss the physiological, psychological, and behavioral effects of legal and illicit drugs; the patterns and correlates of use; and theories of the "causes" of drug use.
Lore of Nutrition
In December 2010, Professor Tim Noakes was introduced to a way of eating that was contrary to everything he had been taught and was accepted as conventional nutrition ‘wisdom’. Having observed the benefits of the low-carb, high-fat lifestyle first-hand, and after thorough and intensive research, Noakes enthusiastically revealed his findings to the South African public in 2012. The backlash from his colleagues in the medical establishment was as swift as it was brutal, and culminated in a misconduct inquiry launched by the Health Professions Council of South Africa. The subsequent hearing lasted well over a year, but Noakes ultimately triumphed, being found not guilty of unprofessional co...

Rethinking Drug Use in Sport
Drug free sport is an unattainable aspiration. In this critical, paradigm-shifting reappraisal of contemporary drug policy in sport, Bob Stewart and Aaron Smith argue that drug use in sport is an inexorable consequence of the nature, structure and culture of sport itself. By de-mythologising and de-moralising the assumptions that prop up current drug management controls, and re-emphasising the importance of the long-term well being and civil rights of the athlete, they offer a powerful argument for creating a legitimate space for drug use in sport. The book offers a broad ranging overview of the social and commercial pressures impelling drug use, and maps the full historical and social exten...
Positive
The author, a champion discus thrower, discusses how he and other elite athletes have obtained and used performance-enhancing drugs, and the way in which officials have reacted. Describes the effect of these drugs on him and his performances and explains how athletes beat the drug tests. Also provides information about his international career, and the reasons behind his decision not to compete in the Sydney Olympic Games.
When Winning Costs Too Much
In this day and age when the sports pages of the local newspaper read like either a police report or a pharmacology text, it is impossible not to conclude that the mantra of winning has entered very dangerous ground. This book not only details these abuses and the dangers of the drugs themselves, but also addresses the misguided coaches, fialed mentors, and poor role models who have contributed to the decline of the sports-for-sports sake mentalitly.
