The 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games Assessing the 30-Year Legacy

The 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games Assessing the 30-Year Legacy

The 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games stand as the most profitable and arguably the most important event in the history of the modern Olympic movement. Fresh off the back of the financially disastrous Montreal Games of 1976 and the politically controversial Moscow Games of 1980 the Olympic movement returned to the United States for the sixth time in an attempt to salvage the economic viability and global prestige of the Olympics. The Los Angeles Olympics proved to be both provocative and polarizing. On the one hand they have been heralded as an overwhelming transformative success ushering the Olympic movement into the modern commercial age. On the other hand critics have repudiated the Games as a manifestation of commercial excess and a platform for western political and cultural propaganda. In conjunction with the 30th anniversary of the Los Angeles Olympics this volume examines their legacy. With an international collection of contributing scholars this volume will span a range of global legacies including the increasing commercialization of the Games the changing participation of women the Communist boycott movement nationalism and sporting identity and the modernization and California-cation of the Games. This book was originally published as a special issue of the International Journal of the History of Sport. | The 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games Assessing the 30-Year Legacy

Journeys through Emerging Adulthood An Introduction to Development from Ages 18-30 Around the World

Journeys through Emerging Adulthood An Introduction to Development from Ages 18-30 Around the World

Journeys through Emerging Adulthood takes the reader on a tour of contemporary transitions to adulthood reporting on the latest cross-national and cross-cultural research into young adulthood and separating fact from fiction about this important life phase. Alan Reifman shows how today’s youth are taking more time to enter traditional adult roles and explores the benefits and disadvantages of this gradual emergence into adulthood. This essential textbook navigates the research that reveals the substantial variety in young people’s paths to adulthood. It covers the spectrum of the young adult experience examining the influence that parents have on their grown children’s progress and identity as adults and considering the impact of traditional milestones such as higher education establishing a career forming romantic relationships and becoming a parent. It examines key topics including mental health in emerging adults and the likelihood of substance abuse and how young adults might reach out into the community through volunteerism religious involvement and political activism. Each section includes examples and studies conducted in a range of countries exploring how the journey to adulthood can vary according to cultural context as well as individual circumstance. The book affirms that while there is great variety in how one transitions to adulthood there is no correct path and most people fare well – or even thrive – in adulthood. Featuring end-of-chapter summaries quizzes and activities Journeys Through Emerging Adulthood provides an accessible yet comprehensive overview of this significant life stage connecting fundamental psychological theories with modern social phenomena. Reifman’s text is essential reading for both undergraduate and graduate students of psychology human development and sociology as well as students and researchers of any discipline interested in the path to adulthood. | Journeys through Emerging Adulthood An Introduction to Development from Ages 18-30 Around the World

Knowledge Class and Economics Marxism without Guarantees

Knowledge Class and Economics Marxism without Guarantees

Knowledge Class and Economics: Marxism without Guarantees surveys the Amherst School of non-determinist Marxist political economy 40 years on: its core concepts intellectual origins diverse pathways and enduring tensions. The volume’s 30 original essays reflect the range of perspectives and projects that comprise the Amherst School—the interdisciplinary community of scholars that has enriched and extended while never ceasing to interrogate and recast the anti-economistic Marxism first formulated in the mid-1970s by Stephen Resnick Richard Wolff and their economics Ph. D. students at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst. The title captures the defining ideas of the Amherst School: an open-system framework that presupposes the complexity and contingency of social-historical events and the parallel overdetermination of the relationship between subjects and objects of inquiry along with a novel conception of class as a process of performing appropriating and distributing surplus labor. In a collection of 30 original essays chapters confront readers with the core concepts of overdetermination and class in the context of economic theory postcolonial theory cultural studies continental philosophy economic geography economic anthropology psychoanalysis and literary theory/studies. Though Resnick and Wolff’s writings serve as a focal point for this collection their works are ultimately decentered—contested historicized reformulated. The topics explored will be of interest to proponents and critics of the post-structuralist/postmodern turn in Marxian theory and to students of economics as social theory across the disciplines (economics geography postcolonial studies cultural studies anthropology sociology political theory philosophy and literary studies among others). | Knowledge Class and Economics Marxism without Guarantees

Revival: Twelfth International Conference on Adaptive Structures and Technologies (2002)

Revival: Twelfth International Conference on Adaptive Structures and Technologies (2002)

This paper reviews some of the important technical barriers that must be overcome to achieve truly efficient flying adaptive micro air vehicles (MAVs). As defined by the Defense Advanced Research Agency (DARPA) MAVs are vehicles with no length dimension greater than 6 inches. These vehicles typically weigh less than 100 grams and some can fly for approximately 30 minutes. Over the past decade significant progress has been made in developing these small-scale mechanical flying machines. However there is still much work to be done if these vehicles are to approach the efficiency and performance of biological fliers. This paper reviews the status of current miniature mechanical flying machines and compares their performance with common biological flyers such as birds and small insects. This comparison reveals that advances in aerodynamic efficiency lightweight and adaptive wing structures energy conversion/propulsion systems and flight control are required to match or exceed the performance of nature™s great flyers. | Revival: Twelfth International Conference on Adaptive Structures and Technologies (2002)

Economics of Carbon Sequestration in Forestry

Economics of Carbon Sequestration in Forestry

Since the 1992 Earth Summit there have been increased efforts on an international scale to address global climate change. Reducing the increased levels of CO2 and other greenhouse gases which are believed to be contributing to this climatic change will require major effort on the part of the world's governments. This means that the environmental economic social and political consequences of climate change must be understood and that strategies to mitigate climate change must also address these issues. The workshop detailed in this book concentrated on how economic principles and analysis could contribute to the planning of forestry projects aimed at affecting terrestrial carbon balances. More than 30 international scientists came together for one week near Stockholm Sweden and divided into working groups charged with addressing a specific issue and preparing a paper within this time frame. This book contains the majority of papers presented at this meeting and includes both the working group papers and the individually presented papers. | Economics of Carbon Sequestration in Forestry
