Femininity and the Physically Active Woman

Femininity and the Physically Active Woman

The fitness boom of the last two decades has led to many people incorporating exercise into their lifestyles through activities such as jogging and aerobics. However whilst many physical and psychological health benefits have been documented far too few people actually take part in enough exercise to glean significant improvements and this is much more a problem for women than men. Femininity and the Physically Active Woman explores one reason many women offer for their lack of involvement in sport and exercise - that they are not the 'sporty' type. Precilla Y. L. Choi argues that the 'sporty' type is masculine and to determine how this notion might affect women's self-perceptions she critically examines the experiences of women athletes bodybuilders recreational exercisers and girls' physical education. What emerges is the importance of visible differences between women and men in terms of muscularity strength and agility in order to maintain the gender order. Thus if a girl or woman wishes to play the masculine game of sport she must do so in conformity with a number of patriarchal rules which ensure she is first and foremost recognised as a heterosexual feminine being. Contributing to a psychology of the physically active woman by examining women's experiences from critical feminist and gendered perspectives Femininity and the Physically Active Woman will be of great interest to students researchers practitioners and teachers from a range of disciplines. Precilla Y. L. Choi is the British Association for the Advancement of Science's Joseph Lister Lecturer for 2000. She has co-edited with Paula Nicolson Female Sexuality (Prentice Hall).

Neighborhood Futures Citizen Rights and Local Control

Neighborhood Futures Citizen Rights and Local Control

Two conflicting developments have recently characterized civic life in the United States. The first the centralization of formal agencies of government too often leads to diminishing political liberties and tyranny. The second which is characterized by a greater amount of civic participation and individual self-actualization is the formation of a whole new layer of sublocal institutions both public and private. These include residential community and condominium associations; property owner-based business improvement districts in nearly all major cities; neighborhood improvement districts in large cities; and even self-governing public schools. Neighborhood Futures is a realistic exploration of how for a society to move forward and improve its citizens must exercise the power to act creatively and feel they are both competent and responsible individuals. Supporting his ideas with the Dutch innovation of the woonerf or neighborhood street government Liebmann follows through by discussing other foreign models of civic life forms and illustrating how they have resulted in resident satisfaction. George W. Liebmann is a partner of Liebmann & Shively P. A. a Baltimore law firm that specializes in local government and education law. In addition to having served as a top aide to one of Maryland's governors he is a former faculty associate of the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy and is the author of Little Platoons and The Gallows in the Grove. | Neighborhood Futures Citizen Rights and Local Control

The Subdivision and Site Plan Handbook

The Subdivision and Site Plan Handbook

The Supreme Court decision that property owners may be entitled to compensation for government regulations that deprive them of reasonable use of their property has thrown the land-use field into a state of turmoil. Will municipal land-use ordinances be found excessive? What regulations can be considered a reasonable exercise of police power for public health safety and welfare? Will municipalities be liable for compensation to property owners if development is restricted? How can municipalities and developers plan in the wake of this decision?Ordinance provisions cover components of subdivision regulation: general provisions definitions administration procedure design and improvements off-tract improvements and documents to be submitted. The Subdivision and Site Plan Handbook provides a narrative on the background rationale and intent of each requirement accompanying the model ordinance; gives an overview of the history of subdivision regulation in the United States; traces the evolution of land-use regulation through various stages; and presents the legal context for present-day regulation. The book has been designed for use by government administrators developers planners attorneys and others interested in land-use regulation. The model ordinance represents the most current thinking about land use and site control and responds to questions raised by the Supreme Court decision. David Listokin and Carole Walker's analyses are flexible efficient responsive to local conditions and balance regulatory costs and benefits. This is a definitive and invaluable resource!

The Sciences in Islamicate Societies in Context Patronage Education Narratives

The Sciences in Islamicate Societies in Context Patronage Education Narratives

This Variorum volume reprints ten papers on contextual elements of the so-called ancient sciences in Islamicate societies between the thirteenth and the seventeenth centuries. They address four major themes: the ancient sciences in educational institutions; courtly patronage of science; the role of the astral and other sciences in the Mamluk sultanate; and narratives about knowledge. The main arguments are directed against the then dominant historiographical claims about the exclusion of the ancient sciences from the madrasa and cognate educational institutes the suppression of philosophy and other ancient sciences in Damascus after 1229 the limited role of the new experts for timekeeping in the educational and professional exercise of this science and the marginal impact of astrology under Mamluk rule. It is shown that the muwaqqits (timekeepers) were important teachers at madrasas and Sufi convents that Mamluk officers sought out astrologers for counselling and that narratives about knowledge reveal important information about scholarly debates and beliefs. Colophons and dedications are used to prove that courtly patronage for the ancient sciences continued uninterrupted until the end of the seventeenth century. Furthermore these papers refute the idea of a continued and strong conflict between the ancient and modern sciences showing rather shifting alliances between various of them and their regrouping in the classifications of the entire disciplinary edifice. These papers are suited for graduate teaching in the history of science and the intellectual cultural and social history of the Middle East and for all readers interested in the study of the contexts of the sciences. | The Sciences in Islamicate Societies in Context Patronage Education Narratives
