Download or read book Encyclopedia of Title IX and Sports written by Nicole Mitchell and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2007-10-30 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fierce debate has long loomed over Title IX, the landmark legislation prohibiting sex discrimination in schools, whether in academics or athletics. Since its inception, Title IX has inspired both backlash and backlash-against-backlash commentary. Supporters contend that the legislation is a long overdue measure in securing equal opportunities for girls and women in America's school and university athletics. Opponents argue that Title IX is nothing more than a government-enforced quota system that is damaging men's sports programs. Caught in the middle are the schools that struggle to develop equitable sports programs for male and female athletes. From the hard fought passing of Title IX in 1972 to the most recent debates surrounding compliance, this encyclopedia explores the significant individuals, events, key concepts, controversies, and legal cases revolving around Title IX and its application in collegiate athletics. This encyclopedia, the first of its kind, offers a comprehensive guide to various aspects and wide ranging issues associated with Title IX and sports. With more than 150 in-depth entries, this inclusive and authoritative reference will appeal to students, scholars, and general readers interested in both the historic framework and contemporary implications of Title IX and academic athletics. Sample entries include: A League of Their Own Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women v. NCAA (1984) Bonnie Blair Molly Machine Gun Bolin California NOW v. Board of Trustees of California State Universities (1993) Commission on Equal Opportunity in Athletics Equity in Athletics Disclosure Act Patsy Mink Ms. Foundation National Women's Football League National Wrestling Coaches Assocation Pederson v.

Book excerpt: This comprehensive reference work introduces food culture from more than 150 countries and cultures around the world—including some from remote and unexpected peoples and places. From babka to baklava to the groundnut stew of Ghana, food culture can tell us where we've been—and maybe even where we're going. Filled with succinct, yet highly informative entries, the four-volume Food Cultures of the World Encyclopedia covers all of the planet's nation-states, as well as various tribes and marginalized peoples. Thus, in addition to coverage on countries as disparate as France, Ethiopia, and Tibet, there are also entries on Roma Gypsies, the Maori of New Zealand, and the Saami of northern Europe. There is even a section on food in outer space, detailing how and what astronauts eat and how they prepare for space travel as far as diet and nutrition are concerned. Each entry offers information about foodstuffs, meals, cooking methods, recipes, eating out, holidays and celebrations, and health and diet. Vignettes help readers better understand other cultures, while the inclusion of selected recipes lets them recreate dishes from other lands.
Download or read book The Great Encyclopedia of Nineteenth Century Major League Baseball written by David Nemec and published by University of Alabama Press. This book was released on 2006-06-04 with total page 1057 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authoritative compendium of facts, statistics, photographs, and analysis that defines baseball in its formative first decades This comprehensive reference work covers the early years of major league baseball from the first game—May 4, 1871, a 2-0 victory for the Fort Wayne Kekiongas over the visiting Cleveland Forest City team—through the 1900 season. Baseball historian David Nemec presents complete team rosters and detailed player, manager, and umpire information, with a wealth of statistics to warm a fan’s heart. Sidebars cover a variety of topics, from oddities—the team that had the best record but finished second—to analyses of why Cleveland didn’t win any pennants in the 1890s. Additional benefits include dozens of rare illustrations and narrative accounts of each year’s pennant race. Nemec also carefully charts the rule changes from year to year as the game developed by fits and starts to formulate the modern rules. The result is an essential work of reference and at the same time a treasury of baseball history. This new edition adds much material unearthed since the first edition, fills gaps, and corrects errors, while presenting a number of new stories and fascinating details. David Nemec began the lifetime labor that helped produced this work in 1954 and admits it may never end, as there always will be some obscure player whose birth date has not yet been found. Until perfection is achieved, this work offers state-of-the-art accuracy and detail beyond that supplied by even modern baseball encyclopedias. As Casey Stengel, who was born during this era, was wont to say, “you could look it up.” Now you can.

Download or read book World Series Chronology written by Sal Tartaglia and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-05-16 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I'd like to thank you remaining reading dinosaurs for your interest in this project. I believe this compilation of baseball championship statistics differs from any previous attempts at documenting the history of the World Series.Since the Sports Encyclopedia-Baseball was discontinued by the Neft brothers & Richard Cohen there are few, if any, books that specifically delve into the Fall Classic with the fervor of World Series Chronology.Even if "Encyclopedia" were still available it would pale comparatively regarding the convenience "Chronology" provides. Their Baseball Encyclopedia, a wonderful and informative text to be sure, made the reader dig very deep to find information and determine how that data compared to similar numbers and teams from different eras. The World Series Chronology, as it states in the title, compares contrasts & coordinates the champions.For instance; if one were curious to know which team comes the closest to the New York Yankees record 5 consecutive titles (1949-53) one could in fact garner the answer in "Encyclopedia" after substantial investigation. But in "Chronology" it's easy to see that the Oakland Athletics string of 3 straight (1972-74) is the next franchise in line.Or if someone was interested in knowing which two teams faced one another the most times in World Series competition, again this could be found after much tracking in another publication. Finding that the Yankees and Dodgers have met 11 times would not be impossible to decipher from the "Encyclopedia". But again, "Chronology" does all the research and the information jumps right off the page for the reader. The Yanks dominated the BROOKLYN Dodgers in their 7 meetings, by winning 6 times. But since the Dodgers have moved to Los Angeles the teams have split their 4 match-ups evenly.These are just two examples of the myriad of comparisons, contrasts, & relative similarities of all of the franchises that have played the glorious game of baseball into the fall.Want to know what teams dominated a specific decade in their respective league? Or how many times? How about how many times have teams that won 100 games in the regular season have faced one another in the Fall Classic? Which team has the most sweeps? Who got there with the least amount of wins? How they all fare historically? Which league holds the edge? What effect does winning a title have on that team's city's crime rate?All of this information, combined with anecdotes, social & historical correlations, and so much more is conveniently at the disposal of the reader.Thank you for your time. I suspect that afterward, you'll thank me for mine.
