Football Fandom and Consumption

Football Fandom and Consumption

Modern football is an industry and capitalism is its engine. However this book argues for a more nuanced understanding of contemporary football culture and the (self-)identity of football fans. Drawing on original ethnographic research conducted with fans at all levels from international to lower league the book explores the tensions between fans as consumers and ‘traditional’ football cultures arguing that modern football fans are able to negotiate the discourses of capitalism and tradition operating upon them to enact their own power and identity within football culture. Featuring case studies of Norwich City MK Dons and Chelsea fans this is fascinating reading for anybody with an interest in sport and society or cultural studies. | Football Fandom and Consumption

This is the story of the extraordinary life of Claver Morris and the society in which he lived. After his marriage at Chelsea in 1685 Claver Morris moved to Somerset where he established an outstanding reputation for his work as a physician. His diaries show us how he worked with apothecaries and surgeons and travelled widely to treat all kind of patients from the children of the poor to those of the landed gentry. The diaries also tell us about the joys and pains of Claver’s personal and family life and of his various intrigues. Claver Morris was a man of many talents: immensely enterprising knowledgeable sociable and loving. His house was always filled with music guests and entertainments. Yet he was often faced with disputes and troubles partly of his own making — as when he courted a bishop’s daughter or stole some land to build his Queen Anne house. The Doctor’s World provides a unique portrait of a physician living and working through the political and religious turmoils that beset the nation at the turn of the eighteenth century. Tales of medical treatments clandestine marriages and self-serving priests are entwined with famous acts of treason and rebellion and the pleasures and tragedies of daily life. This meticulously researched book will appeal to all readers of social political medical and family history. | The Doctor’s World The Life and Times of Claver Morris 1659 - 1727

Project-Based R Companion to Introductory Statistics

Project-Based R Companion to Introductory Statistics is envisioned as a companion to a traditional statistics or biostatistics textbook with each chapter covering traditional topics such as descriptive statistics regression and hypothesis testing.

The chapters in the main body of the book include a worked example showing the R code used at each step followed by a multi-part project for students to complete. These projects which could serve as alternatives to traditional discrete homework problems will illustrate how to put the pieces together and conduct a complete start-to-finish data analysis using the R statistical software package. At the end of the book there are several projects that require the use of multiple statistical techniques that could be used as a take-home final exam or final project for a class. Key features of the text: Organized in chapters focusing on the same topics found in typical introductory statistics textbooks (descriptive statistics regression two-way tables hypothesis testing for means and proportions etc. ) so instructors can easily pair this supplementary material with course plans Includes student projects for each chapter which can be assigned as laboratory exercises or homework assignments to supplement traditional homework Features real-world datasets from scientific publications in the fields of history pop culture business medicine and forensics for students to analyze Allows students to gain experience working through a variety of statistical analyses from start to finish The book is written at the undergraduate level to be used in an introductory statistical methods course or subject-specific research methods course such as biostatistics or research methods for psychology or business analytics.

The proportion of college students who identify as Multiracial is somewhat higher and growing.

These terms include the broader biracial multiethnic and mixed or more specific terms like Blasian and Mexipino. In addressing the recurring experiences of inclusion exclusion affirmation and challenges that they encounter the contributors identify the multiple sites in higher education that affect personal perceptions of self belonging rejection and resilience; describe strategies they utilized to support themselves or other Multiracial people at their institutions; and to advocate for greater awareness of Multiracial issues and a commitment to institutional change. In covering an array of Multiracial experiences the book brings together a range of voices social identities (including race) ages perspectives and approaches. The chapter authors present a multiplicity of views because as the book exemplifies multiracial people are not a monolithic group nor are their issues and needs universal to all. The book opens by outlining the literature and theoretical frameworks that provide context and foundations for the chapters that follow. It then presents a range of first-person narratives – reflecting the experiences of students faculty and staff – that highlight navigating to and through higher education from diverse standpoints and positionalities. The final section offers multiple strategies and applied methods that can be used to enhance Multiracial inclusion through research curriculum and practice. The editors conclude with recommendations for future scholarship and practice. This book invites Multiracial readers their allies and those people who interact with and influence the daily lives of Multiracial people to explore issues of identity and self-care build coalitions on campus and advocate for change. For administrators student affairs personnel and anyone concerned with diversity on campus it opens a window on a growing population with whom they may be unfamiliar mis-categorize or overlook and on the need to change systems and structures to address their full inclusion and unveil their full impact.
