Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before he was a writer, Miguel de Cervantes was a soldier. Enlisting in the Spanish infantry in 1570, he fought at the battle of Lepanto, was seized at sea and held captive by Algerian corsairs, and returned to Spain with a deep knowledge of military life. He understood the costs of heroism, the fragility of fame, and the power of the military culture of brotherhood. In Heroic Forms, Stephen Rupp connects Cervantes’s complex and inventive approach to literary genre and his many representations of early modern warfare. Examining Cervantes’s plays and poetry as well as his prose, Rupp demonstrates how Cervantes’s works express his perceptions of military life and how Cervantes interpreted the experience of war through the genres of the era: epic, tragedy, pastoral, romance, and picaresque fiction.

Book excerpt: Foreword by Chris Hemsworth A proven program that teaches you how to harness the body’s natural movement patterns in daily activities to get fit, healthy, and pain-free for life Hunching over a keyboard, commuting long hours, slouching on the couch—poor postures resulting from our sedentary lifestyle have thrown our bodies out of balance, causing unnecessary stress and strain that compromise our joints, restrict organ function, and weaken our muscles. Dr. Eric Goodman has spent years studying human physiology and movement. He’s helped people of all ages and occupations heal and correct lifelong debilitating pain with his revolutionary Foundation Training, a practical program that targets the posterior chain muscles—shoulders, back, butt, and legs—shifting the burden of support to where it belongs: the large muscle groups. Foundation Training is simple: no gyms, no specialized equipment, no complicated stretches. It’s a series of powerful movements you can integrate successfully into everyday life—from playing with the kids to washing dishes to long hours in the office—transforming ordinary physical actions into active and mindful movements that help to eliminate pain, boost your energy, and strengthen your body. By harnessing the body’s natural movement patterns, you can be fit, healthy, and pain-free for good.

Download or read book Tracing the Heroic Through Gender written by Carolin Hauck and published by Ergon Verlag. This book was released on 2018-10-09 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In nahezu allen Gesellschaften und Epochen ist das Heroische vielfach gegendert. Die soziale und kulturelle Produktion des Heroischen ist jedoch nicht ausschließlich mit dem Instrumentarium der Männlichkeitsforschung zu fassen, und ebenso wenig scheint es sinnvoll, Frauen bzw. Weiblichkeit in diesem Zusammenhang lediglich als Ausnahmen zu verstehen. Vielmehr gilt es, den relationalen Charakter ernst zu nehmen. Der vorliegende Band unternimmt erstmals den Versuch, Geschlecht als analytische Kategorie für die Heroismusforschung fruchtbar zu machen. Auf der Basis vielfältiger geisteswissenschaftlicher Ansätze dient diese Kategorie als 'Spurensucherin' (tracer) des Heroischen und als Instrument zur Untersuchung der historischen Bedingungen, medialen und performativen Erscheinungsformen sowie zeiträumlichen Konjunkturen und Transformationen. Diese gilt es, mit Hilfe der Kategorie Geschlecht und unter Nutzung der zugehörigen Eigenschaften neu auszumessen.

Download or read book Heroic Leadership written by Scott T. Allison and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-07-04 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heroic Leadership is a celebration of our greatest heroes, from legends such as Mahatma Gandhi to the legions of unsung heroes who transform our world quietly behind the scenes. The authors argue that all great heroes are also great leaders. The term ‘heroic leadership’ is coined to describe how heroism and leadership are intertwined, and how our most cherished heroes are also our most transforming leaders. This book offers a new conceptual framework for understanding heroism and heroic leadership, drawing from theories of great leadership and heroic action. Ten categories of heroism are described: Trending Heroes, Transitory Heroes, Transparent Heroes, Transitional Heroes, Tragic Heroes, Transposed Heroes, Transitional Heroes, Traditional Heroes, Transforming Heroes, and Transcendent Heroes. The authors describe the lives of 100 exceptional individuals whose accomplishments place them into one of these ten hero categories. These 100 hero profiles offer supporting evidence for a new integration of theories of leadership and theories of heroism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Thomas Carlyle's 'On Heroes, Hero-Worship, and the Heroic in History', the author delves into the concept of heroism and examines the idea of hero-worship in different fields such as literature, religion, and politics. Carlyle presents a series of lectures that discuss the qualities that make a hero and how individuals throughout history have been admired and venerated as heroes. Written in a persuasive and engaging prose style, the book reflects Carlyle's belief in the importance of great men and women in shaping the course of human events. Thomas Carlyle, a Scottish philosopher and essayist, was influenced by Romanticism and German idealism, which inspired his fascination with heroes and their impact on society. His personal experiences and observations of the world around him also influenced his writing, making him a significant figure in Victorian literature. I highly recommend 'On Heroes, Hero-Worship, and the Heroic in History' to readers interested in exploring the concept of heroism and its significance in shaping our understanding of history and culture. Carlyle's insightful analysis and thought-provoking ideas make this book a valuable read for anyone interested in the study of great individuals and their influence on society.
