Download or read book Sport and Leisure in the Civilizing Process written by Eric Dunning and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-07-27 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do figurational sociologists approach the subjects of sport and leisure? How does their approach differ from other approaches in the field? This major collection, edited by leading writers on sport and leisure, offers a superb introduction to the figurational sociology of sport and leisure. The distinctive features of the approach are clearly explained and contributors show how figurational sociology is applied in the analysis of concrete problems. However, the collection also gives space to critics of the figurational approach. Included here are contributions which claim that the approach is inaccurate, blinkered and irrelevant.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Norbert Elias has been recognized as one of the key social scientists of the twentieth century. The contributions collected in Norbert Elias and Social Theory discuss the specificities, the strengths, and the limits of Elias's sociology by considering its similarities and its differences with other important classical (Epicure, Freud, Marx, Durkheim, Weber, and Simmel) and contemporary (Manheim, Fromm, Arendt, Bauman, and Bourdieu) social theories. Editors François Dépelteau and Tatiana Savoia Landini have compiled an essential and comprehensive volume on a quintessential thinker.
Download or read book Un Civilizing Processes written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2016-08-29 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The collapse of the supposedly ‘civilized’ German nation into the ‘barbarism’ of Hitler’s Third Reich has cast a long shadow over interpretations of German culture and society. In the remarkable work of Norbert Elias, himself a refugee from Nazi Germany, a deep concern with the distinctiveness of ‘the Germans’ is linked with an ambitious attempt to work out more general relations between broad historical processes – patterns of state formation, changing social structures – and the character of the individual self, as evidenced in changing thresholds of shame and embarrassment. In critical engagement with Elias’s notion of the ‘civilizing process’, the essays collected here explore moments of excess and transgression, moments when the very boundaries of ‘civilization’ are both constructed and challenged. Inter-disciplinary contributions – on topics ranging from medieval laughter, cursing and swearing, through to music, the bourgeois self, and aspects of modern violence – highlight the complexity of inter-relations between the individual imagination and creativity, on the one hand, and the brute facts of political power and social structural inequalities, on the other; and develop new insights into the changing patterns of culture and society in Germany from the Middle Ages to the present.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Broadly defining "conflict resolution", James A. Schellenberg gives systematic coverage to five main ways people may try to resolve their conflicts: coercion, negotiation, adjudication, mediation, and arbitration. The main theories of conflict, both classic and contemporary, are reviewed under four main categories: individual characteristics theories, social process theories, social structural theories, and formal theories.
Download or read book Mechanisms and Robots Analysis with MATLAB written by Dan B. Marghitu and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-05-06 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern technical advancements in areas such as robotics, multi-body systems, spacecraft, control, and design of complex mechanical devices and mechanisms in industry require the knowledge to solve advanced concepts in dynamics. “Mechanisms and Robots Analysis with MATLAB” provides a thorough, rigorous presentation of kinematics and dynamics. The book uses MATLAB as a tool to solve problems from the field of mechanisms and robots. The book discusses the tools for formulating the mathematical equations, and also the methods of solving them using a modern computing tool like MATLAB. An emphasis is placed on basic concepts, derivations, and interpretations of the general principles. The book is of great benefit to senior undergraduate and graduate students interested in the classical principles of mechanisms and robotics systems. Each chapter introduction is followed by a careful step-by-step presentation, and sample problems are provided at the end of every chapter.
Download or read book Molecular Sieves written by Rosemarie Szostak and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 473 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From areport by a Lieutenant Colonel W.A. Ross (Chern. News, Nov.15, 1878, p. 236). Progress did not accelerate during the next 50 years. McBain, in his clas sic 1932 book, The Sorption oi Gases by So lids, devoted a chapter to sorp tion by chabasite, other zeolites, and permeable crystals. McBain remarked that "great interest attaches to the finding of Weigel and Steinhoff [0. Weigel and E. Steinhoff, Z. Kris!., 61, 125 (1925{raquo}) that chabasite rapidly sorbs the vapors of water, methyl and ethyl alcohol and formie acid, whereas acetone, ether and benzene are largely excluded. The significance of their results was pointed out by McBain [J.W. McBain, Colloid. Syrnp. Mon., 20, 1 (1926{raquo}) and recognized by alliater writers. It is evident that the partially dehydrated chabasite forms a nearly perfect molecular sieve or a semipermeable membrane of extremely regular structure ... ". While the significance of the above observation may have been recog nized, it had little impact. Thus, an eminent pioneer in the synthesis and characterization af zeolites, Professor R.M. Barrer, spent nearly two dec ades (following his Ph. D. studies in the 1930s) developing a firm foundation for the rapid growth in scientific understanding and industrial applications of zeolites which has taken place during the last 30 years.
