The Political Economy of European Football: Perspectives from Central and Eastern Europe (Critical Research in Football)
by Dariusz Wojtaszyn, Daniel Fitzpatrick and Roland BenedikterThis book explores the contemporary dynamics of European football’s political economy, mapping the various market and regulatory forces that shape its current position and development.Offering a conceptual framework for understanding political economy as applied to the study of football, this book presents in-depth case studies from Central and Eastern Europe – a region largely underexplored in the research literature – that enable the reader to gain a sense of the rich history and diversity of the economic and social contexts in which European football is shaped. The first part of this book sets out the market structure of football in Europe and considers how key trends of globalisation and hypercommercialisation have been addressed through attempts to incentivise and regulate the football market. It presents a theoretical framework for political economy in football and explores key issues including football and economic development; UEFA’s ‘Financial Fair Play’ regulations; sponsorship in football; and the socio-economic conditions of hooligan violence. The second part of the book looks more closely at Central and Eastern Europe. Presenting case studies of aspects of political economy in football in Romania, Poland, East Germany, Austria and Hungary (including development of the women’s game), this book shows how the economic development of European football has been uneven, not only subject to global trends but also dependent on local historical, political, economic and organisational conditions.Opening up new perspectives on the complex interactions between states, sports organisations, markets and society, this book will be fascinating reading for anybody with an interest in football, the history, politics or business of sport, or political economy as a field of scholarly enquiry.

Amphion: Lyre, Poetry, and Politics in Modernity (Thinking Literature)
by Leah MiddlebrookA reintroduction to the myth of Amphion, recovering an overlooked sphere of lyric tradition. Amphion is the figure in Greek mythology who played so skillfully on a lyre that stones moved of their own accord to build walls for Thebes. While Amphion still presides over music and architecture, he was once fundamental to the concept of lyric poetry. Amphion figured the human power to inspire action, creating and undoing polities by means of language. In contrast to the individual inspiration we associate with the better-known Orpheus, Amphion represents the relentless, often violent, play of harmony and disorder in human social life. In this wide-ranging study, Leah Middlebrook introduces readers to Amphion-inspired poetics and lyrics and traces the tradition of the Amphionic from the Renaissance through modernist and postmodern poetry and translation from the Hispanic, Anglophone, French, Italian, and ancient Roman worlds. Amphion makes a significant contribution to scholarship on the connection between poetry and politics and the history of the lyric, offering an account well-suited to our times.

Designforschung und Designwissenschaft: Methoden und Theorien gestalterischer Episteme (Designforschung – Designwissenschaft - Designtheorie)
by Lars C. Grabbe Tobias HeldVon Gestaltung jenseits ästhetischer Traditionslinien zu sprechen, heißt zwangsläufig das moderne Design in den Blick zu nehmen. Zwischen Alltagskultur und Design-Avantgarden bewegen sich vielfältige interdisziplinäre Strömungen, deren theoretische Modelle in Kontextualisierungen und Analysen der Designwissenschaft zusammenlaufen. Hier zeigt sich bereits eine geisteswissenschaftliche Durchdringung und Akzeptanz des Designs als epidemisches Gegenstück zur freien Kunst, wobei diese Meta-Perspektive letztlich eine Forschung „über Design“ darstellt. Design als konkrete Praxis begriffen artikuliert sich jedoch als Relation von Problem, Entwurf und Prototyp, so dass ein handlungstheoretisches Modell einer Forschung „durch Design“ angesetzt werden kann. Designforschung steht damit im Kontrast zur Designwissenschaft, denn sie agiert dynamisch, empirisch und operativ und bündelt zwar Theoriemodelle und konkrete Werkzeuge, lässt diese aber innerhalb konkreter Gestaltungsweisen zu pragmatischen Erkenntnissen werden. Der Band adressiert konkrete Designfelder, arbeitet Aspekte der konkreten und empirischen Designforschung heraus und nimmt gleichzeitig eine Verortung innerhalb der medientheoretischen Bezugsfelder vor. Denn Forschung „durch Design“ geschieht immer durch Medien, Werke, Instrumente und ästhetische Zeichen und Zustände hindurch.

Manual of Pathologic Grossing: A Deliberative Approach
by Ashley IllingworthThis textbook is a step-by-step, at the bench, real-world approach to grossing a wide variety of surgical cases. Each figure is produced directly from the bench during the grossing process with the associated dictation. These specimens contain the imperfections of real-life cases with ample illustrations drawn by renown medical illustrationist Kyle Cunningham. This book is not a bullet-point list of what to do but rather a step-by-step, illustrated approach to grossing each specimen. This manual can be utilized at the bench with any specimen at any time. Key features include step-by-step photographic documentation of optimal methods for handling gross specimens commonly seen in the pathology laboratory, medical illustrations that highlight key anatomic features, and tips and tricks to produce optimal diagnostic sections for pathologic diagnosis. Each chapter also includes multiple choice questions to help apply the knowledge and skills learned in the readings. This text is not just a reference manual. It is a deliberative teaching manual meant to be taken into the lab and used at the bench providing consultative support. The text is specifically focused on pathology residents learning grossing skills when no one is around to answer questions. Currently, there are four main surgical grossing texts on the market. Those texts contain drawings and characterizations of the perfect organ and a list of sections needed for each specimen. These books do not focus on the methodology for taking the most appropriate sections with a focus on handling imperfect specimens. Manual of Pathologic Grossing is the only text that includes photographs of each step in the grossing process. The photos are accompanied by a step-by-step text of demonstrating how and why each section was taken.
