The Cambridge Companion to Boxing - - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

The Cambridge Companion to Boxing - - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

While humans have used their hands to engage in combat since the dawn of man, boxing originated in Ancient Greece as an Olympic event. It is one of the most popular, controversial and misunderstood sports in the world. For its advocates, it is a heroic expression of unfettered individualism. For its critics, it is a depraved and ruthless physical and commercial exploitation of mostly poor young men. This Companion offers engaging and informative essays about the social impact and historical importance of the sport of boxing. It includes a comprehensive chronology of the sport, listing all the important events and personalities. Essays examine topics such as women in boxing, boxing and the rise of television, boxing in Africa, boxing and literature, and boxing and Hollywood films. A unique book for scholars and fans alike, this Companion explores the sport from its inception in Ancient Greece to the death of its most celebrated figure, Muhammad Ali.

Boxing, Masculinity and Identity - Kath Woodward - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Boxing, Masculinity and Identity - Kath Woodward - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Boxing is infused with ideas about masculinity, power, race and social class, and as such is an ideal lens through which social scientists can examine key modern themes. In addition, its inherent contradictions of extreme violence and beauty and of discipline and excess have long been a source of inspiration for writers and film makers. Essential reading for anyone interested in the sociology of sport and cultural representations of gender, Boxing, Masculinity and Identity brings together ethnographic research with material from film, literature and journalism. Through this combination of theoretical insight and cultural awareness, Woodward explores the social constructs around boxing and our experience and understanding of central issues including: - masculinity - mind, body and the construction of identity - spectacle and performance: tensions between the public and private person - boxing on film: the role of cultural representations in building identities - methodologies: issues of authenticity and ‘truth’ in social science.

The British Boxing Film - Stephen Glynn - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

The British Boxing Film - Stephen Glynn - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This book constitutes the first full volume dedicated to an academic analysis of the sport of boxing as depicted in British film. Through close textual analysis, production and reception histories and readings that establish social, cultural and political contexts, the book explores the ways in which prizefighters, amateur boxers, managers and supporters (from Regency gentry to East End gangsters) are represented on the British screen. Exploring a complex and controversial sport, it addresses not only the pain-versus-reward dilemma that boxing necessarily engenders, but also the frequently censorious attitude of those in authority, with boxing''s social development facilitating a wider study around issues of class, gender and race, latterly contesting the whole notion of ''Britishness''. Varying in scope from Northern circuit comedies to London-based ''ladsploitation'' films, from auteur entries by Alfred Hitchcock to programme fillers by E.J. Fancey, the boxing film also serves as a prism through which one can trace major historical shifts in the British film industry.

Theatre and Boxing - Franco Ruffini - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Theatre and Boxing - Franco Ruffini - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Theatre and Boxing focuses on a problem which is of paramount importance for any theatre practitioner and researcher: the actor’s believable body. This problem has been taken up by Stanislavski, Meyerhold, Artaud, Brecht, Decroux, Copeau, Grotowski, and many others. It is an essential hurdle for all who practice the theatrical craft or want to study it theoretically. This hurdle can be considered one of the foundations of theatre science and of the relationship between technique, politics and ethics. This book tells the story of a revolution in the work of the actor in the early- and mid-20 th century, a period in which the focus of theatrical interest shifted from the emotions to the body. The actor’s body became a tool for purveying a dynamic set of actions which often transformed the very actor himself. This new centrality of the body also drew attention to those places in which the body is central: the gym, the boxing ring and the circus with its trapezes and tightropes became, together with the stage, laboratories for the theatre. Thus, in addition to the reformers of the theatre the pages of this book are filled with boxers, acrobats, gymnasts and wrestlers, pursuers of an utopia: the "actor who flies".

Curvature Measures of Singular Sets - Martina Zahle - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Curvature Measures of Singular Sets - Martina Zahle - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

The book describes how curvature measures can be introduced for certain classes of sets with singularities in Euclidean spaces. Its focus lies on sets with positive reach and some extensions, which include the classical polyconvex sets and piecewise smooth submanifolds as special cases. The measures under consideration form a complete system of certain Euclidean invariants. Techniques of geometric measure theory, in particular, rectifiable currents are applied, and some important integral-geometric formulas are derived. Moreover, an approach to curvatures for a class of fractals is presented, which uses approximation by the rescaled curvature measures of small neighborhoods. The book collects results published during the last few decades in a nearly comprehensive way.

Mathematical Foundations of Fuzzy Sets - Hsien Chung Wu - Bog - John Wiley & Sons Inc - Plusbog.dk

Mathematical Foundations of Fuzzy Sets - Hsien Chung Wu - Bog - John Wiley & Sons Inc - Plusbog.dk

Mathematical Foundations of Fuzzy Sets Introduce yourself to the foundations of fuzzy logic with this easy-to-use guide Many fields studied are defined by imprecise information or high degrees of uncertainty. When this uncertainty derives from randomness, traditional probabilistic statistical methods are adequate to address it; more everyday forms of vagueness and imprecision, however, require the toolkit associated with ''fuzzy sets'' and ''fuzzy logic''. Engineering and mathematical fields related to artificial intelligence, operations research and decision theory are now strongly driven by fuzzy set theory. Mathematical Foundations of Fuzzy Sets introduces readers to the theoretical background and practical techniques required to apply fuzzy logic to engineering and mathematical problems. It introduces the mathematical foundations of fuzzy sets as well as the current cutting edge of fuzzy-set operations and arithmetic, offering a rounded introduction to this essential field of applied mathematics. The result can be used either as a textbook or as an invaluable reference for working researchers and professionals. Mathematical Foundations of Fuzzy Sets offers thereader: - - Detailed coverage of set operations, fuzzification of crisp operations, and more - - Logical structure in which each chapter builds carefully on previous results - - Intuitive structure, divided into ''basic'' and ''advanced'' sections, to facilitate use in one- or two-semester courses - Mathematical Foundations of Fuzzy Sets is essential for graduate students and academics in engineering and applied mathematics, particularly those doing work in artificial intelligence, decision theory, operations research, and related fields.

The Statistical Analysis of Small Data Sets - Graeme D. Ruxton - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

The Statistical Analysis of Small Data Sets - Graeme D. Ruxton - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

We live in the era of big data. However, small data sets are still common for ethical, financial, or practical reasons. Small sample sizes can cause researchers to seek out the most powerful methods to analyse their data, but they may also be wary that some methodologies and assumptions may not be appropriate when samples are small. The book offers advice on the statistical analysis of small data sets for various designs and levels of measurement, helping researchers to analyse such data sets, but also to evaluate and interpret others'' analyses. The book discusses the potential challenges associated with a small sample, as well as the ways in which these challenges can be mitigated. General topics with strong relevance to small sample sizes such as meta-analysis, sequential and adaptive designs, and multiple testing are introduced. While the focus is on hypothesis tests and confidence intervals, Bayesian analyses are also covered. Code written in the statistical software R is presented to carry out the proposed methods, many of which are not limited to use on small data sets, and the book also discusses approaches to computing the power or the necessary sample size, respectively.
