We are living in the Wild West of college sports. Name, Image and Likeness endorsements, the transfer portal, collectives, conference realignment, the powerful influence of media companies have all rendered the notion of amateur athletics a quaint relic of the past, replaced by a Brave New World where money and self-interest rule.

Im 19. Jahrhundert trat die Genealogie als führende Methode hervor, historisch wandelbare Systeme wie z.B. Sprachen, biologische Arten, Religionen und sogenannte "Rassen" zu organisieren. Genealogisches Denken bestimmt Begriffe durch ihre Differenzierung von anderen. Das ist ein Verfahren, das keine Singularitäten, sondern nur Verwandtschaftsnetze hervorbringt. In solchen Systemen wirken Geschwisterbegriffe , also benachbarte Begriffe, die weder identisch noch absolut verschieden sind, als aktive Störungszone. Sie sind füreinander nötig, aber auch destabilisierend. Engelstein verbindet eine weitreichende Geistesgeschichte mit detaillierten Analysen aus den neuen Disziplinen der Lebens- und Humanwissenschaften und bezieht sich dabei unter anderem auf literarische Werke von Goethe, Schiller, Percy Shelley, George Eliot, Richard Wagner und Thomas Mann. Sie erläutert die Folgen dieses Paradigmawechsels für die Auffassung von Subjektivität, Staats- und Wirtschaftswissenschaft und für die Klassifizierung von Menschen, ob biologisch oder philologisch. Das Buch bietet eine neue Theorie über die Struktur modernen Wissens: Eine Theorie, die die Grenzen von Subjektivität und Gruppenidentitäten durchlässig macht, um eine Grundlage für flexiblere Formen von Zugehörigkeit, Selbstidentifizierung und Wissensbildung zu erschaffen.

Biomechanics is a fascinating field of study that examines the mechanics of human movement. It provides valuable insights into how forces and motion affect those movements. One of the primary reasons why biomechanics is important in understanding human movement is its practical application. By studying biomechanics, teachers can help students understand how forces and motion impact daily activities and sports performance. For example, biomechanics can explain the optimal technique for throwing a ball, the physics behind a basketball player's jump shot, or the mechanics of a gymnast's balance beam routine. Biomechanics is the basis for many career paths such as ergonometric design and designing for those with disabilities as well as helping athletes maiimize their performance in sports.

Mal klassisch-romantisch, mal jazzig - das Chorbuch Bruckner. Weltliche Chormusik wartet mit spannenden Entdeckungen und neuen Bearbeitungen in unterschiedlichen Schwierigkeitsgraden auf. Anton Bruckners weltliche Chormusik steht im Schatten der großen Sinfonien und bekannten geistlichen Chorwerke - zu Unrecht, wie die Chorexperten Simon Halsey und Jan Schumacher mit ihrer kleinen aber feinen Auswahl an Chormusik zu weltlichen Texten beweisen. Zwar hat Bruckner nur wenige Sätze für gemischten Chor hinterlassen, dafür aber umso mehr für Männerchöre komponiert. Für diese Sammlung haben renommierte Arrangeur*innen aus Deutschland, England, Dänemark und Italien eigens die schönsten Männerchorsätze für SATB bearbeitet. Damit kann dieses klangvolle Repertoire auch von gemischten Chören aufgeführt werden. Auch zwei originale SATB-Kompositionen sind enthalten. Weiterhin präsentiert das Chorbuch Chorarrangements von ursprünglich klavierbegleiteten Sololiedern, u.a. mit Texten von Heinrich Heine und Emanuel Geibel. Besonders hervorzuheben ist auch eine Bearbeitung des Adagios aus Bruckners Streichquintett WAB 112, das Heribert Breuer für Chor arrangiert und mit einem Text von Georg Trakl versehen hat.

In his short life, master cutler and Freifechter Joachim Meyer appears to have had quite a successful career as a fencing master, teaching craftsmen and noblemen alike while also authoring at least four different fencing treatises (and possibly more). His works became renowned far outside of his own nation and were copied by other authors for over a hundred years after his death.This book contains Dr. Rebecca Garber's entirely new translation of Meyer's longest and most developed treatise, Foundational Description of the Free, Knightly, and Noble Art of Fencing, published in 1570. It teaches complex and sophisticated methods for using all the typical weapons of his day, beginning with the two-handed sword prized by the tradition of Johannes Liechtenauer, then showing how traditional German fencing should be applied to the eastern European dusack and the Mediterranean rapier which had become popular as sidearms, and finally covering the dagger and polearms that were commonly used in the militias of the Imperial Free Cities.To aid in the study of this important work, it has been separated into two volumes. In Volume 1, Michael Chidester's transcription of the original German text is included alongside the translation, and hundreds of footnotes have been added throughout. In addition, Christopher VanSlambrouck provides an exhaustive introduction to Meyer and the world that he inhabited. In Volume 2, the 62 elaborate Figures created by the workshop of Hans Christoph Stimmer are printed in two different formats-a set that were lavishly painted in 1574, and a black and white set with the backgrounds removed for clarity-along with compilations of all references to each Figure in the text. The illustrations from the München, Lund, and Rostock manuscripts are also included in appendices for reference, and an introduction by Michael Chidester describes Meyer's book itself and the process of creating books in the 16th century.This book will prove to be an important resource for any student of medieval or early modern fencing.

This seminal work by historian Alexander Bennett presents a broad overview of the Japanese "Way of the Warrior" as it is expressed in scores of classical Japanese texts written by famous Samurai themselves. Bennett's analysis of these writings shows that the essential meaning of Bushido, the Samurai's code of conduct and ethics, evolved significantly over time--from the 12th century when the warrior class was elevated to become an elite group, to the 19th century when the Samurai class was suddenly disbanded. Bushido Explained takes a visual approach to presenting important concepts and terminology, helping readers easily navigate the complex world of the Samurai. The text is written in a highly accessible style, with sidebars presenting interesting concepts, facts and important Samurai figures who were central to Bushido's evolution. The different types of Bushido--which vary by region, time period and Samurai rank--are presented with over 300 informative diagrams and illustrations. No other book offers such a wide-ranging, yet clear analysis of Bushido--debunking myths and misconceptions about who the Samurai truly were. Bushido Explained presents a precise overview of Samurai ideals and culture in a logical, chronological order. Author Alexander Bennett--a professor of Japanese history, martial arts and Budo theory at Kansai university in Japan--uses this information and teaching methods in his Japanese Studies: Introduction to Bushido class. Now, readers all over the world can sit in on the unique lesson.

THEMATIC CHESS TRAININGBOOK 8 - POSITIONAL SACRIFICESUnlike tactical sacrifices, so-called positional sacrifices are an investment of material that usually doesn't bring immediate benefits but translates into certain positional advantages whose fruits the player will reap in the medium or long term, and which are based more on positional factors than on a combinatorial sequence.These factors can be enabling a square as a strong point, displacing the opponent's pawn structure or creating some kind of weakness in the enemy position.The student should bear in mind that, when solving the exercises, they are not asked to decipher all the moves in the game or position (which are sometimes included until the end, for documentation purposes), but only those that, say, lead to an advantage for one side or to equality when it comes to saving an inferior position. There are exceptions (and here the guidance of an instructor or the student's own common sense is important), because if the first move or two produce such a judgment, the solver can be expected to come up with additional concrete lines that enrich the solution. Chess is not a mathematical science and allows for a variety of interpretations.Only one formula is known for progressing in chess: play as many games as possible, together with theoretical study and analysis of the games themselves. The ideal complement to this formula is, as many great masters recommend, for the player to develop and perfect their tactical and strategic skills by solving numerous exercises, specially selected for their usefulness. Like the ones we offer here
