Book excerpt: In 1930 Danish artist Einar Wegener underwent a series of surgeries to live as Lili Ilse Elvenes (more commonly known as Lili Elbe). Her life story, Fra Mand til Kvinde (From Man to Woman), published in Copenhagen in 1931, is the first popular full-length (auto)biographical narrative of a subject who undergoes genital transformation surgery (Genitalumwandlung).

Caughie and Sabine Meyer present the full text of the 1933 American edition of Elbe's work with comprehensive notes on textual and paratextual variants across the four published editions in three languages. This edition also includes a substantial scholarly introduction which situates the historical and intellectual context of Elbe's work, as well as new essays on the work by leading scholars in transgender studies and modernist literature, and critical coverage of the 2015 biopic, The Danish Girl. This print edition has a digital companion: the Lili Elbe Digital Archive (www.lilielbe.org). Launched on July 6, 2019, to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the founding of Magnus Hirschfeld's Institute for Sexual Science (Institut für Sexualwissenschaft) where Lili Elbe was initially examined, the Lili Elbe Digital Archive hosts the German typescript and all four editions of this narrative published in Danish, German, and English between 1931 and 1933, with English translations of the Danish edition and the typescript.

Download or read book Pipeline to the Pros written by Ben Kaplan with Danny Parkins and published by Triumph Books. This book was released on 2024-04-16 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jeff Van Gundy. Brad Stevens. Frank Vogel. Mike Budenholzer. Tom Thibodeau. Sam Presti. Leon Rose. Before you knew his name, before he drafted your favorite player, before he guided your team to a championship, he had a playing career of his own at an NCAA Division III college. He didn't play for fortune &– the NBA was out of reach, and his school didn't even give athletic scholarships. He didn't play for fame &– his games weren't televised, and the stands were rarely full. Whatever the motivation, he simply couldn't give up the game of basketball. And that didn't change after graduation, when it was time to pick a career path. For the first time in league history, NBA coaches and general managers are just as likely to have played Division III basketball as they are to have played in the NBA. While the number of former D3 players working in the NBA is higher than ever, small college alums have served in leadership positions since the league's founding. They shaped the NBA into what it is today, playing integral roles in the Lakers' initial success in Los Angeles, the inception of several expansion franchises, the creation of the popular All-Star Weekend dunk contest, the globalization of the league, and more. Their improbable and inspiring journeys tell a bigger story &– the history of small college athletics, the evolution of coaching and management in the NBA, and the hiring practices in the most competitive fields. Their alma maters were small, but their impact on the game, and the implications of their success, loom large.
Download or read book Find Your Fit written by Augie Heath and published by Augie Heath. This book was released on 2020-08-18 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Find Your Fit: A Guide Through The College Athletics Recruiting Process was written by Augie Heath while he was still in college playing football on full scholarship for Sacramento State. Augie wrote Find Your Fit to serve as the book he wishes he had after going through the recruiting process himself twice (once as a high school recruit, and later as a junior college student-athlete). In Find Your Fit, Augie writes about how he put himself in a position to earn a full Division I athletic scholarship, what it is like to go through the college athletics recruiting process, how he would guide current student-athletes through their own athletic recruitment, as well as what it is really like to be a Division I student-athlete. During his recruitment, Augie received scholarship offers from Division I-FCS, Division II, and Division III schools. He received Preferred Walk-On offers from multiple Division I-FBS universities, took multiple official visits, negotiated scholarship amounts face-to-face with multiple college coaches, and ultimately fulfilled his dream of playing Division I football on a full ride scholarship. Find Your Fit is different than any other recruiting guide out there in the respect that it was written by a college student-athlete who actually went through the recruiting process. Augie writes about his own athletic recruitment, what he did right, what he did wrong, and the mind games he saw coaches play with recruits and walk-on teammates. In the book, you will see that Augie gives clear thoughts on how to get noticed by college coaches, the most effective things you can do to take control of your own recruitment, how to find the school that is the right fit for you, and how to put yourself in position to get the most scholarship money possible. Getting a sports scholarship is a realistic and achievable goal. Find Your Fit is an easy read that makes sense and helps you take the right steps towards getting your college education paid for!

Book excerpt: Arsić unpacks Ralph Waldo Emerson’s repeated assertion that our reality and our minds are in constant flux.

Download or read book Co operative Canada written by Brett Fairbairn and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2014-10-15 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A shift in US bank policy. A demonstration in Greece. A tsunami in Japan. In recent times, these kinds of events have had profound effects on the economic well-being of Canadians. In such a heavily globalized environment, it may seem that only large corporations with access to transnational resources can operate successfully, but Co-operative Canada demonstrates that this is not the case. Despite economic pressures following the 2008 recession, co-operatives in Canada are thriving. In fact, there are approximately nine thousand co-ops across the nation with a combined membership of about 18 million members – more than half the population of Canada. Drawing on the results of a large research project that examined co-operatives in communities from coast to coast to coast, Co-operative Canada reveals how Canadians are using the co-operative model to collectively respond to the forces of globalization through local, community-owned enterprises. It does this through specific examples that vividly describe the pragmatic realities of the communities these co-ops serve.
Download or read book Seeing written by George Gillespie and published by Andrews UK Limited. This book was released on 2019-11-14 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After years of lucid dreaming, the author spontaneously experiences a series of religious encounters with intense light which bring an awareness of the presence of God. He describes a number of these encounters in detail. The greater part of the book then presents an analysis of these experiences. Perhaps the most unique part of the analysis, based on the author's study of his hypnopompic lattice imagery, is the description of how the internal visual image is constructed and seen three-dimensionally. In fact, the visual image is shown to be identified with the part of oneself that sees the image. Every part of the visual field is a nonduality of seer and seen. Finally he analyzes the imagery of dreams (out of which the experiences of light arise), light (as visual image and as spiritual event), and the awareness of the presence of God. His religious experiences of light are shown not to be dreams, but to lie, in a sense, beyond dream imagery and dreaming.
Download or read book Birational Geometry Rational Curves and Arithmetic written by Fedor Bogomolov and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-05-17 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book features recent developments in a rapidly growing area at the interface of higher-dimensional birational geometry and arithmetic geometry. It focuses on the geometry of spaces of rational curves, with an emphasis on applications to arithmetic questions. Classically, arithmetic is the study of rational or integral solutions of diophantine equations and geometry is the study of lines and conics. From the modern standpoint, arithmetic is the study of rational and integral points on algebraic varieties over nonclosed fields. A major insight of the 20th century was that arithmetic properties of an algebraic variety are tightly linked to the geometry of rational curves on the variety and how they vary in families. This collection of solicited survey and research papers is intended to serve as an introduction for graduate students and researchers interested in entering the field, and as a source of reference for experts working on related problems. Topics that will be addressed include: birational properties such as rationality, unirationality, and rational connectedness, existence of rational curves in prescribed homology classes, cones of rational curves on rationally connected and Calabi-Yau varieties, as well as related questions within the framework of the Minimal Model Program.

Download or read book Defining an Identity written by P.J. Fensham and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2004-04-30 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research in science education is now an international activity. This book asks for the first time, Does this research activity have an identity? -It uses the significant studies of more than 75 researchers in 15 countries to see to what extent they provide evidence for an identity as a distinctive field of research. -It considers trends in the research over time, and looks particularly at what progression in the research entails. -It provides insight into how researchers influence each other and how involvement in research affects the being of the researcher as a person. -It addresses the relation between research and practice in a manner that sees teaching and learning in the science classroom as interdependent with national policies and curriculum traditions about science. It gives graduate students and other early researchers an unusual overview of their research area as a whole. Established researchers will be interested in, and challenged by, the identity the author ascribes to the research and by the plea he makes for the science content itself to be seen as problematic.
Download or read book Social Dreaming Work written by W. Gordon Lawrence and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-04-17 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Social Dreaming" is the name given to a method of working with dreams that are shared and associated to within a gathering of people, coming together for this purpose. Its immediate origins date back to the early 1980s. At that time, Gordon Lawrence was on the scientific staff of the Tavistock Institute of Human Relations. He was a core member of the Institute's Group Relations Programme, within which he had developed a distinctive approach centring around the concept of "relatedness" — that is, the ways in which individual experience and behaviour reflects and is structured by conscious and unconscious constructs of the group or organization in the mind...
Download or read book Dreams and Professional Personhood written by Mary-T. B. Dombeck and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1991-07-03 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two community mental health centers in the Northeastern United States form the setting for this ethnographic study of dreams, dream telling, and dream interpretation. To gather information about American attitudes toward dreams and dream telling, the author observed and interviewed employees of these centers: social workers, psychologists, nurses, psychiatrists, secretaries, and medical technicians. The issues that emerge from the interviews are analyzed and clarified by exploring Western understandings of the concepts of person and self, and of professional personhood—the capacities and responsibilities ascribed to you by yourself and others in your milieu as professionals. The book also contains a comprehensive literature review of the research on dreams and an appendix of narrative statements made by informants on their dreams, their work, and their relationships.
