Описание: The untold story of hockey's deep roots from different regions of the world, and its global, cultural impact.

Played on frozen ponds in cold northern lands, hockey seemed an especially unlikely game to gain a global following. But from its beginnings in the nineteenth century, the sport has drawn from different cultures and crossed boundaries--between Canada and the United States, across the Atlantic, and among different regions of Europe. It has been a political flashpoint within countries and internationally. And it has given rise to far-reaching cultural changes and firmly held traditions.

The Fastest Game in the World is a global history of a global sport, drawing upon research conducted around the world in a variety of languages. From Canadian prairies to Swiss mountain resorts, Soviet housing blocks to American suburbs, Bruce Berglund takes readers on an international tour, seamlessly weaving in hockey's local, national, and international trends. Written in a lively style with wide-ranging breadth and attention to telling detail, The Fastest Game in the World will thrill both the lifelong fan and anyone who is curious about how games intertwine with politics, economics, and culture.

Описание:

In 20 chapters, this book is an inspiring and instructional study of the wonderful, powerful Name of Jesus. The eternal destiny for every human is vested in a Name. The precious and very great promises of God's Word are appropriated by a Name. This Name is given to the church for believers to employ for effectively to advance the kingdom of God. This book establishes the biblical functions and purposes of names and expounds on the proper understanding and use of the Name of Jesus.

Greg Berglund is a Spirit-filled ordained Pastor who subsequently became a Medical Doctor. As both a Pastor and a Doctor, he brings insight to both of these fields. His dual career allows each discipline to inform the other. He is also the author of "This Mountain," where he outlines a biblical understanding of faith as taught by Jesus and displayed by the great faith of the Centurion.

Описание: This publication makes the case for ‘religion and education’ as a distinct, but cross-disciplinary, field of inquiry. To begin with, consideration is given to the changing dynamic between ‘religion and education’ historically, and the differing understandings of religious education within it. Next, ‘religion and education’ is examined from methodologically specific perspectives, namely the philosophical, historical, sociological and psychological. The authors outline the particular insights to be gleaned about ‘religion and education’ on the basis of their commitment to these methodological standpoints. Overall, this publication is concerned with demonstrating the scope of the field, and the importance of having a range of disciplinary, and interdisciplinary, perspectives informing it.

Описание: (Percussion). In this meticulously researched biography, author Pelle Berglund presents the first comprehensive book on the life of Buddy Rich, still considered by many to be the greatest drummer ever to pick up sticks. Using interviews with many of Buddy's band members (some conducted by the author himself) along with extensive sourcing of quotes from practically every interview ever given by Buddy himself, a complete chronology of Buddy's life is presented along with insights into what drove him and what he thought about the various situations and people he encountered through his life. One of a Kind recounts each chapter of a life lived in the spotlight: childhood star Traps, the Drum Wonder; young jazz drummer with Joe Marsala an Bunny Berigan; star sideman with Artie Shaw, Harry James, and Tommy Dorsey; and leading various incarnations of the Buddy Rich Big Band. A twentieth century icon, Buddy's relationships with Shaw, Dorsey, Count Basie, Johnny Carson, Frank Sinatra, Mel Torme, Gene Krupa, Norman Granz, Lana Turner, and his family, including wife Marie and daughter Cathy, are insightfully investigated. Never-before-seen photos of Buddy culled from the private collection of collector Charley Braun add a new perspective on Buddy's life including a 16-page featured photo section. Beyond providing a complete timeline of Buddy Rich's life, One of a Kind provides a glimpse into the mind of a musical titan who demanded greatness from himself and those around him, and became of the most celebrated and controversial stars in music.

Описание: The essays in Cixous after/depuis 2000, edited by Hall, Chevillot, Hoft-March, and Penalver Vicea, center on the events from 2000 to 2015 that mark Helene Cixous’s life and writing: the donation of her archives to the Bibliotheque Nationale de France, her return to Algeria, the death of her friend Jacques Derrida, the 40th anniversary of her essay “Le Rire de la Meduse,” and finally, of greatest import in her work of the 21st-century, the last years and death of her mother Eve. The essays explore an important movement in Helene Cixous’s oeuvre as it shifts its focus not away from questions of the body, language, difference, and sexuality, but to include a broader engagement with mourning, suffering, aging, and death. Les essais dans Cixous after/depuis 2000, reunis sous la direction de Hall, Chevillot, Hoft-March et Penalver Vicea, portent sur les evenements des annees 2000 a 2015 qui ont marque la vie et l’ecriture d’Helene Cixous : le don de ses archives a la Bibliotheque Nationale de France, son retour en Algerie, la mort de son ami Jacques Derrida, le 40e> anniversaire de la publication du « Rire de la Meduse » et enfin, les dernieres annees et la mort de sa mere Eve. Les essais explorent un mouvement important de l’?uvre d’Helene Cixous qui comprend une interrogation incessante sur le corps, le langage, la difference et la sexualite mais qui se tourne egalement vers le deuil, la souffrance, la vieillesse et la mort.
