"Introducing the core concepts, issues and debates in the study of gender and sport, this is an accessible, engaging and thought-provoking textbook for anyone studying or interested in sport. It highlights the complexity of the gendered sporting world. Exploring inequalities in society that are reflected in sporting spaces and practices, and offering practical guidance on how to develop study skills and critical thinking, this textbook empowers readers to view the world in a different way. The book explores the social and political aspects of gender, sport and society, as well as their intersection with race/ethnicity, dis/ability, and sexualities. Introducing the basics of gender theory as applied to sport, and placing equity, diversity and inclusion at the heart of the discussion, the book explores key themes, current issues and hot topics, such as women in esports, mental health, and parenthood. The book also looks at how gender and gender stereotypes play out in the world of sport business and management. The reader is asked to co-create the textbook's narrative by engaging with several pedagogical features, such as 'stop and think' and seminar activities, requesting the reader to be an active and critical participant. The compact and considered chapters will help to break down the complexity involved in this subject area. The final chapter is dedicated to study skills and practical learning advice, acting as a study guide to complement the discipline-rich chapters that come before it. This textbook is written from practitioner-educator experience ensuring the content is degree-specific, critically positioned, and most importantly, inclusive and accessible. Full of useful features in every chapter, from subject 'insights' to guides on further reading, media links and other sources, as well as example assignment questions, this is an indispensable textbook for all students of gender and sport, women and sport, the sporting body, sport and society, social issues in sport, inclusion in sport, and sport development, and fascinating reading for anyone with an interest in sport, gender studies or sociology more broadly"--

"This gripping account of university life puts a candid, personal perspective on clashes and crises around the true cost and value of higher education, the governance of public universities, free speech and academic freedom debates, the politicization of the college campus, and the future of the humanities and liberal arts"--

"Extraction/Exclusion makes visible the political and practical exclusions shaped by resource extraction. Drawing on scholarship from across the social sciences, the volume portrays how inclusionary language and practices often result in further exclusions, concealing unchanged systems of domination and dispossession"--

"Aegean prehistory was born out of the search for the Trojan War. Since the time of Heinrich Schliemann, new forms of evidence have come to light and innovative questions have arisen, including examinations of warfare as a concept. This volume interrogates the nature of warfare in the Bronze Age Aegean for scholars and teachers with knowledge of the ancient Mediterranean, who wish to access the state of the field when it comes to the ways that specialists approach warfare in the prehistoric Aegean. Authors review evidence, consider the social and cultural place of war, and revisit longstanding questions. Contributors are: Natalie Abell, Tomáš Alušík, Trevor Bryce, Ioannis Georganas, Margaretha Kramer-Hajos, Lynne A. Kvapil, Shannon Lafayette Hogue, Barry Molloy, Jesse Obert, Stephen O'Brien, Angelos Papadopoulos, Cynthia Shelmerdine, Kim Shelton"--

"Each of the essays in this collection considers what lies beyond the limiting discourses of childhood innocence. Instead of focusing on how children "grow up," as has been the focus of developmental science for over a century, we ask what it might mean for discourses of childhood to finally "grow out" of childhood innocence?"--

"From 1368 to 1953, China's administrative divisions were mainly composed of counties, prefectures, and provinces. This book shows the population figures, density, and changes in the provincial population in China during this period and population figures of each major city and town and its proportion in terms of the provincial population during this period - the urbanization rate. Data in this book is drawn partly from historical sources and partly from statistical-model-based calculations. The book also includes provincial population maps in 1393, and their original statistical models, population databases, and metadata"--

The Question of Law proffers an original theory of law, stated as two normative principles. Law is seen having a political foundation, with the question of law thus becoming a question of obedience - whether and in what circumstances it is appropriate to obey the law. Kim further maintains that law should serve the demands of justice.

Fleischproduktion und Fleischkonsum stehen seit Ende des 20. Jahrhunderts zunehmend in der Kritik. Gesundheit, Tierethik und Klimawandel sind wesentliche Gründe. Fleisch ist sowohl zu einer Metapher für einen rücksichtslosen Umgang mit dem eigenen Körper als auch mit der globalen Umwelt geworden. Dabei sind tierische Produkte seit dem Beginn der Menschheit integrativer Bestandteil der Ernährung; sie genossen hohes Ansehen und waren Symbol für Wohlstand. Im 19. Jahrhundert wurde die Fleischproduktion allmählich industrialisiert, der Konsum stieg und wurde demokratisiert. Im Fokus standen bald weniger das Tier als seine Verwertbarkeit und die Produkte, die es lieferte. Das Lebendige wurde verdinglicht, und wir haben uns vom Fleisch entfremdet. Der Band zeichnet diesen Prozess nach und legt die gesellschaftliche, historisch gewachsene Logik von Fleischproduktion und Fleischkonsum offen.

Die Forschungen zur Diplomatie der Frühen Neuzeit haben in den letzten Jahren die strukturellen Unterschiede zur modernen Diplomatie herausgearbeitet. Simultane Loyalitätsbeziehungen zu verschiedenen Fürstenhäusern und Territorien charakterisierten die Stellung von Diplomaten aus dem hohen Adel. Regina Stuber zeigt anhand der Karriere des Pastorensohns Johann Christoph (von) Urbich, dass ein weit gespanntes Beziehungsgeflecht auch für bürgerliche Diplomaten die Grundlage für den Aufstieg in höhere Positionen bilden konnte. Transterritoriales Agieren kennzeichnete das Selbstverständnis der sich etablierenden Funktionselite, bedingte aber auch die Fragilität einer beruflichen Existenz, die auf multiplen Loyalitäten aufgebaut war
