Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk Flags Football and the NFL’s “Foxy” Patriotism Problem

Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk Flags Football and the NFL’s “Foxy” Patriotism Problem

This book examines how the game of football and militarism have historically overlapped due to their shared celebration of strength might and besting a clear and definitive foe. Nevertheless since September 11 a variety of staged patriotic vignettes dominated most NFL broadcasts giving the once easy and unforced union a stilted feel. That the War on Terror became a fixture of modern- day Super Bowls was easy to portend; what was more difficult to predict was the imprint it would leave on U. S. citizens and American politics. Ben Fountain’s award-winning novel Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk reveals what passes for patriotism in a country that has reduced the sober and stark reality of combat to pageantry and production for the crowd back home leaving our troops to unwittingly play the part of entertainers destined to be sexualized just like the cheerleaders and dancers so frequently performing alongside them. | Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk Flags Football and the NFL’s “Foxy” Patriotism Problem

An Analysis of Burton G. Malkiel's A Random Walk Down Wall Street

An Analysis of Burton G. Malkiel's A Random Walk Down Wall Street

Burton Malkiel’s 1973 A Random Walk Down Wall Street was an explosive contribution to debates about how to reap a good return on investing in stocks and shares. Reissued and updated many times since Malkiel’s text remains an indispensable contribution to the world of investment strategy – one that continues to cause controversy among investment professionals today. At the book’s heart lies a simple question of evaluation: just how successful are investment experts? The financial world was and is full of people who claim to have the knowledge and expertise to outperform the markets and produce larger gains for investors as a result of their knowledge. But how successful Malkiel asked are they really? Via careful evaluations of performance – looking at those who invested via ‘technical analysis’ and ‘fundamental analysis’ – he was able to challenge the adequacy of many of the claims made for analysts’ success. Malkiel found the major active investment strategies to be significantly flawed. Where actively managed funds posted big gains one year they seemingly inevitably posted below average gains in succeeding years. By evaluating the figures over the medium and long term indeed Malkiel discovered that actively-managed funds did far worse on average than those that passively followed the general market index. Though many investment professionals still argue against Malkiel’s influential findings his exploration of the strengths and weaknesses of the argument for believing investors’ claims provides strong evidence that his own passive strategy wins out overall. | An Analysis of Burton G.

A Long Walk To Church A Contemporary History Of Russian Orthodoxy

A Long Walk To Church A Contemporary History Of Russian Orthodoxy

Making use of the formerly secret archives of the Soviet government interviews and first-hand personal experiences Nathaniel Davis describes how the Russian Orthodox Church hung on the brink of institutional extinction twice in the past sixty-five years. In 1939 only a few score widely scattered priests were still functioning openly. Ironically Hitler's invasion and Stalin's reaction to it rescued the church - and parishes reopened new clergy and bishops were consecrated a patriarch was elected and seminaries and convents were reinstituted. However after Stalin's death Khrushchev resumed the onslaught against religion. Davis reveals that the erosion of church strength between 1948 and 1988 was greater than previously known and it was none too soon when the Soviet government changed policy in anticipation of the millennium of Russia's conversion to Christianity. More recently the collapse of communism has created a mixture of dizzying opportunity and daunting trouble for Russian Orthodoxy. The newly revised and updated edition addresses the tumultuous events of recent years including schisms in Ukraine Estonia and Moldova and confrontations between church traditionalists conservatives and reformers. The author also covers battles against Greek-Catholics Roman Catholics Protestant evangelists and pagans in the south and east the canonization of the last Czar the church's financial crisis and hard data on the slowing Russian orthodox recovery and growth. Institutional rebuilding and moral leadership now beckon between promise and possibility. | A Long Walk To Church A Contemporary History Of Russian Orthodoxy

Aspects of Anomalous Transport in Plasmas

Aspects of Anomalous Transport in Plasmas

Anomalous transport is a ubiquitous phenomenon in astrophysical geophysical and laboratory plasmas; and is a key topic in controlled nuclear fusion research. Despite its fundamental importance and ongoing research interest a full understanding of anomalous transport in plasmas is still incomplete due to the complexity of the nonlinear phenomena involved. Aspects in Anomalous Transport in Plasmas is the first book to systematically consider anomalous plasma transport theory and provides a unification of the many theoretical models by emphasizing interrelations between seemingly different methodologies. It is not intended as a catalogue of the vast number of plasma instabilities leading to anomalous transport; instead it chooses a number of these and emphasizes the aspects specifically due to turbulence. After a brief introduction the microscopic theory of turbulence is discussed including quasilinear theory and various aspects of renormalization methods which leads to an understanding of resonance broadening mode coupling trajectory correlation and clumps. The second half of the book is devoted to stochiastic tramsport using methods based on the Langevin equations and on Random Walk theory. This treatment aims at going beyond the traditional limits of weak turbulence by introducing the recently developed method of decorrelation trajectories and its application to electrostatic turbulence magnetic turbulence and zonal flow generation. The final chapter includes very recent work on the nonlocal transport phenomenon. | Aspects of Anomalous Transport in Plasmas

Desire Lines A Guide to Community Participation in Designing Places

Desire Lines A Guide to Community Participation in Designing Places

Desire lines are the paths that people create through regular usage. They appear where people repeatedly choose to walk and usually signify a route from A to B that’s quicker than the formal path provided. In most cases they indicate the mismatch between what local people want and what designers think people want. By employing some social research basics in the design development process placemakers can work more meaningfully with local communities to meet their needs and aspirations. This is a practical guide to running public consultations co-design and community engagement to help practitioners make the most of local knowledge and insight for the benefit of design. It offers guidance on managing community participation and unapologetically aims to encourage designers to start thinking like social researchers when they undertake these programmes. It’s intended for placemakers - architects urban designers landscape architects and other built environment professionals involved in the planning and design of public realm - who want to develop more people-centred community-led design approaches. | Desire Lines A Guide to Community Participation in Designing Places

Implementing Social Europe in Times of Crises Re-established Boundaries of Welfare?

Implementing Social Europe in Times of Crises Re-established Boundaries of Welfare?

While the EU legitimacy crisis and the Great Recession prevail certain European Union principles and policies have to be implemented in the member states. This volume explores the diverse processes stages and subjects of implementation in a variety of social policies to identify different institutional dynamics and actor behaviours at play. The individual contributions examine the transposition of the patients’ rights directive to the Europeanisation of pension reforms; the role of national parliaments in transposing social Europe; judicial Europeanisation; and the multi-level enforcement of EU decisions. Theoretically the contributions in this book highlights the fact that implementation is often conditioned by domestic politics or comes as a ‘random walk’ due to organisational and cognitive constraints. Empirically the volume has three main findings. First the constitutive components of the EU tend to have a contradictory impact on the EU’s social policies and the national welfare systems. Second crises influence the implementation of social Europe at times leading to a modification of fundamental principles and content but not across the board. Third as a result there is evidence of differentiated Europeanisation. This book was originally published as a special issue of West European Politics. | Implementing Social Europe in Times of Crises Re-established Boundaries of Welfare?

Temporalities in/of Crises in Anglophone Literatures

Temporalities in/of Crises in Anglophone Literatures

Literary works play a crucial role in modelling and conceptualising temporalities. This becomes particularly apparent in times of crises which put conventionalised temporal patterns and routines under pressure. During crises past present and future appear to collapse into each other and give way to temporal disjunction and rupture. Offering pluralised and context-sensitive approaches to temporalities in and of crises this volume explores how literature’s engagement with crises suggests both the need for and possibility of rethinking ‘time’. The volume is committed to examining the affordances of specific genres and their potential in pointing beyond temporalities of crises to facilitate a sense of futurity. Individual essays are grounded in recent theories of temporality and literary form which are related to novel advancements in ecocriticism queer studies affect theory and postcolonial studies. The chapters cover a broad range of examples from different literary genres to reveal the knowledge of literature about temporalities in and of crises. | Temporalities in/of Crises in Anglophone Literatures

Exercises in Architecture Learning to Think as an Architect

Exercises in Architecture Learning to Think as an Architect

This revised edition of Exercises in Architecture: Learning to Think as an Architect is full of new content building on the success of the previous edition. All the original exercises have been revised and new ones added with the format changing to allow the inclusion of more supplementary material. The aim remains the same to help pre- or early-course architecture students begin and develop their ability to think as architects. Learning to do architecture is tricky. It involves awakening abilities that remain dormant in most people. It is like learning language for the first time; a task made more mystifying by the fact that architecture deals not in words but in places: places to stand to walk to sit to hide to sleep to cook to eat to work to play to worship… This book was written for those who want to be architects. It suggests a basis for early experiences in a school of architecture; but it could also be used in secondary schools and colleges or as self-directed preparation for students in the months before entering professional education. Exercises in Architecture builds on and supplements the methodology for architectural analysis presented in the author’s previous book Analysing Architecture: the Universal Language of Place-Making (fifth edition 2021) and demonstrated in his Twenty-Five Buildings Every Architect Should Understand (Routledge 2015). Together the three books deal with the three aspects of learning any creative discipline: 1. Analysing Architecture provides a methodology for analysis that develops an understanding of the way architecture works; 2. Twenty-Five Buildings explores and extends that methodology through analysis of examples as case studies; and 3. Exercises in Architecture offers a way of expanding understanding and developing fluency by following a range of rudimentary and more sophisticated exercises. Those who wish to become professional architects (wherever in the world they might be) must make a conscious effort to learn the universal language of architecture as place-making to explore its powers and how they might be used. The exercises in this book are designed to help. | Exercises in Architecture Learning to Think as an Architect
