Flip! How the Frisbee Took Flight - Margaret Muirhead - Bog - Charlesbridge Publishing,U.S. - Plusbog.dk

Flip! How the Frisbee Took Flight - Margaret Muirhead - Bog - Charlesbridge Publishing,U.S. - Plusbog.dk

This charming picture book biography about the inventor of the Frisbee follows the twists and turns of innovation and highlights the persistence it takes to succeed. Fred Morrison is credited with inventing this classic toy, but for centuries folks have been flipping for flying discs. Ancient Greeks flicked discs, and beginning in the 1920s, college kids at Yale University were tossing pie tins. Fred''s invention quest began in 1932 after tossing a tin popcorn lid around the backyard. For more than twenty years, Fred and his wife, Lu, tried and failed to perfect a flying-disc concept. Eventually they created what we know today as the Frisbee. Fun and fact-filled, this Frisbee origin story is sure to delight sports and STEM fans alike.

Plato's Symposium - Frisbee Sheffield - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Plato's Symposium - Frisbee Sheffield - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Frisbee Sheffield argues that the Symposium has been unduly marginalized by philosophers. Although the topic - eros - and the setting at a symposium have seemed anomalous, she demonstrates that both are intimately related to Plato''s preoccupation with the nature of the good life, with virtue, and how it is acquired and transmitted. For Plato, analysing our desires is a way of reflecting on the kind of people we will turn out to be and on our chances of leading a worthwhile and happy life. In its focus on the question why he considered desires to be amenable to this type of reflection, this book explores Plato''s ethics of desire.

Counterpunch - Meg Frisbee - Bog - University of Washington Press - Plusbog.dk

Counterpunch - Meg Frisbee - Bog - University of Washington Press - Plusbog.dk

Boxing was popular in the American West long before Las Vegas became its epicenter. However, not everyone in the region was a fan. Counterpunch examines how the sport's meteoric rise in popularity in the West ran concurrently with a growing backlash among Progressive Era social reformers who saw boxing as barbaric. These tensions created a morality war that pitted state officials against city leaders, boxing promoters against social reformers, and fans against religious groups. Historian Meg Frisbee focuses on several legendary heavyweight prizefights of the period and the protests they inspired to explain why western geography, economy, and culture ultimately helped the sport's supporters defeat its detractors. A fascinating look at early American boxing, Counterpunch showcases fighters such as "Gentleman" Jim Corbett, Bob Fitzsimmons, and Jack Johnson, the first African American heavyweight champ, and it provides an entertaining way to understand both the growth of the American West and the history of this popular—and controversial—sport.

BR Blue: A Portrait - Stephen Owens - Bog - Amberley Publishing - Plusbog.dk

BR Blue: A Portrait - Stephen Owens - Bog - Amberley Publishing - Plusbog.dk

This book is a portrait of the period that became known as the era of BR Blue – the 1970s and 1980s. The railway appeared to be caught up in a world of its own. It was still recognisably the one from the steam era, and happy to be living in the past rather than making strides toward the future. As with most of the nationalised industries, labour relations were somewhat fraught. The railway invested in electrification and everything else was standardised to minimise costs. Unsurprisingly, stagnation haunted the network.Some would suggest the railway was doing a particularly fine job given the circumstances. It was fortunate to be blessed with a dedicated workforce and supported by thousands of people who travelled by train. For those of us who remember those days fondly, this is how we would prefer to remember that time.

BR Blue: A Personal Reflection - Stephen Owens - Bog - Amberley Publishing - Plusbog.dk

BR Blue: A Personal Reflection - Stephen Owens - Bog - Amberley Publishing - Plusbog.dk

In the 1970s and 1980s, the history and heritage of Britain’s railways were still plain to see - it was still recognisably the railway of steam locos, pick-up freight trains, isolated stations, parcels trains, semaphore signals and a timetable that hardly ever changed. The railway seemed old and tired; trains were often late, crowded and uncomfortable, and stations were often less than appealing. It had been constructed in a haphazard way in the previous century, when the railway was seen as the future. Despite this, there remained a dedicated community of enthusiasts who considered the railway to be a masterpiece and would capture it on film whenever possible.These photographs, published here for the first time, illustrate perfectly why so many view the BR Blue period with such fondness.

BR Blue: The North in Focus - Stephen Owens - Bog - Amberley Publishing - Plusbog.dk

BR Blue: The North in Focus - Stephen Owens - Bog - Amberley Publishing - Plusbog.dk

From 1978 onwards, during the period often referred to as BR Blue, Stephen Owens was able to photograph for posterity some of what he saw on the railway. Some might suggest the period didn’t have the interest of the steam era – how could it? It was an era when the railway appeared neglected and threadbare; it was being run on a shoestring, and it looked and felt like it. Be that as it may, it had its devotees and supporters.Some rail enthusiasts instinctively recognised that the situation couldn’t and wouldn’t last. In a way it was similar to the end of steam: the clock was ticking, but this time no-one knew when it would stop, nor what would follow.With a wonderful selection of images, this nostalgic look back at the era of Rail Blue in northern England and Scotland will delight rail enthusiasts both young and old.

Grøn terapi - David Br Camacho - Bog - Forlaget Hedwig - Plusbog.dk

Grøn terapi - David Br Camacho - Bog - Forlaget Hedwig - Plusbog.dk

Velkommen til den første bog på det europæiske marked, som beskriver, hvad begrebet Naturbaseret psykoterapi er. Det er en højaktuel metode, beskrevet i et bredspektret værk, som både er historisk, fordi den inddrager de store tænkere gennem tiden og sideløbende evaluerer evolutionspsykologien, i tråd med at den også bringer både humanismen og eksistentialismen på banen for at indramme hele denne begrebsverden på en undersøgende og perspektiverende måde. Den er naturvidenskabelig, med mange brugbare fagtekniske informationer, og den er filosofisk på et tankevækkende og vedkommende abstraktionsniveau. Den er også en praktisk indføring i kroppens forskellige motoriske og biokemiske egenskaber, med indgående beskrivelser af dens funktion og udbytte, i forhold til at bevæge sig rundt i naturen. Bogens centrale plot er, at vi må arbejde samvittighedsfuldt med os selv for at kunne reetablere forbindelsen til naturen. Uddrag af bogen Hvad er så naturbaseret psykoterapi? Det er en retning hvor man søger at danne og udvikle sin naturbevidsthed. Der tilstræbes at opdyrke en erkendelse af, at vi alle er en del af naturen. Derfor søger retningen at integrere forståelsen af den eksistentialistiske og transpersonelle psykoterapi, såvel som den kropsorienterede psykoterapi og den systemiske psykoterapi. Om forfatterne David BR Camacho er psykoterapeut, forfatter og naturterapeut. Robert S. Ehlers er forfatter, billedkunstner og korrekturlæser. Sanne Rimpler er fysioterapeut, psykoterapeut og naturterapeut.

BR Blue No. 5: Passenger and Parcels - John Dedman - Bog - Crecy Publishing - Plusbog.dk

BR Blue No. 5: Passenger and Parcels - John Dedman - Bog - Crecy Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The BR Blue period continues to grow in popularity, a mark of this being that is now the fifth volume in what is a popular series. Regular author John Dedman - whose previous volumes in the series have been, ''Southampton and the New Forest'', Western Region South and West'', and ''Freight in the 1980''s''- now turns his attention to the passenger traffic of the period, both locomotive hauled and DMU operated. In the compilation of any book there is always a decision to be made between portraying the regular or unusual. John has opted to do both, hence we see the standard locomotive hauled ''Inter-City'' and cross country services, as well as the DMU. Including occasions when a locomotive and perhaps two coaches might have replaced a DMU or a rake of DMU''s replaced a locomotive hauled train!The coverage is almost country wide although the majority feature in area where locomotive and DMU operation was prominent.

BR Steam in the North of England - John Whiteley - Bog - Amberley Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The photographs cover the period from c. 1959/60 to the end of steam in the area in 1968.

The area covered ranges from northern Derbyshire and northern Cheshire to include the last days of steam in the Peak District, Yorkshire, Lancashire and Cumbria up to the Scottish border. The use of GWR locomotives around Chester in the early 1960s is also included as well as steam in and around Manchester.This photographic survey of the last years of steam on BR in the North of England will appeal to all those with an interest in the history of the railways of this region.
