Alessandro Arcangeli, "A Cultural History of Sport in the Renaissance " English | ISBN: 1350023981 | 2022 | 256 pages | MOBI | 12 MB A Cultural History of Sport in the Renaissance covers the period 1450 to 1650. Outwardly, Renaissance sports resembled their medieval forebears, but the incorporation of athletics into the educational curriculum signalled a change. As part of the scientific revolution, sport now became the object of intellectual analysis. Numerous books were written on the medical benefits of sport and on the best way to joust, fence, train horses and ride, play ball games, swim, practice archery, wrestle, or become an acrobat. Sport became the visible sign of the mind's control over the physical body, such control often becoming an end in itself with some sports shaped more by decorum than exercise.  Steven A. Riess, "A Cultural History of Sport in the Modern Age " English | ISBN: 1350024058 | 2022 | 288 pages | MOBI | 7 MB A Cultural History of Sport in the Modern Age covers the period 1920 to today. Over this time, world-wide participation in sport has been shaped by economic developments, communication and transportation innovations, declining racism, diplomacy, political ideologies, feminization, democratization, as well as increasing professionalization and commercialization. Sport has now become both a global cultural force and one of the deepest ways in which individual nations express their myths, beliefs, values, traditions and realities.  Noel Fallows, "A Cultural History of Sport in the Medieval Age " English | ISBN: 1350023973 | 2022 | 288 pages | AZW3 | 13 MB A Cultural History of Sport in the Medieval Age covers the period 600 to 1450. Lacking any viable ancient models, sport evolved into two distinct forms, divided by class. Male and female aristocrats hunted and knights engaged in jousting and tournaments, transforming increasingly outdated modes of warfare into brilliant spectacle. Meanwhile, simpler sports provided recreational distraction from the dangerously unsettled conditions of everyday life. Running, jumping, wrestling, and many ball games - soccer, cricket, baseball, golf, and tennis - had their often violent beginnings in this period.  Mike Huggins, "A Cultural History of Sport in the Age of Industry " English | ISBN: 135002404X | 2022 | 280 pages | MOBI | 8 MB A Cultural History of Sport in the Age of Industry covers the period 1800 to 1920. Over this period, sport become increasingly global, some sports were radically altered, sports clubs proliferated, and new team games - such as baseball, basketball and the various forms of football - were created, codified, commercialized, and professionalized. Yet this was also an age of cultural and political tensions, when issues around the role of women, social class, ethnicity and race, imperial relationships, nation-building, and amateur and professional approaches were all shaping sport. At the same time, increasing urbanization, population, real wages and leisure time drove demand for sport ever higher, and the institutionalization and regulation of sport accelerated.  Jo Ann Moran Cruz, "A Cultural History of Education in the Medieval Age " English | ISBN: 1350035033 | 2023 | 272 pages | AZW3 | 10 MB A Cultural History of Education in the Medieval Age presents essays that examine the following key themes of the period: church, religion and morality; knowledge, media and communications; children and childhood; family, community and sociability; learners and learning; teachers and teaching; literacies; and life histories.  Michael Mosher, "A Cultural History of Democracy in the Age of Enlightenment " English | ISBN: 1350042838 | 2022 | 296 pages | AZW3 | 4 MB This volume surveys the burst of political imagination that created multiple Enlightenment cultures in an era widely understood as an age of democratic revolutions. Enlightenment as precursor to liberal democratic modernity was once secular catechism for generations of readers. Yet democracy did not elicit much enthusiasm among contemporaries, while democracy as a political system remained virtually nonexistent through much of the period. If seventeenth- and eighteenth-century ideas did underwrite the democracies of succeeding centuries, they were often inheritances from monarchical governments that had encouraged plural structures of power competition. But in revolutions across France, Britain, and North America, the republican integration of constitutional principle and popular will established rational hope for public happiness. Nevertheless, the tragic clashes of principle and will in fraught revolutionary projects were also democratic legacies.  A Cultural History of Causality: Science, Murder Novels, and Systems of Thought by Stephen Kern English | August 22, 2004 | ISBN: 0691115230, 0691127689, 9781400826230 | True EPUB/PDF | 448 pages | 1.9/2.5 MB This pioneering work is the first to trace how our understanding of the causes of human behavior has changed radically over the course of European and American cultural history since 1830. Focusing on the act of murder, as documented vividly by more than a hundred novels including Crime and Punishment, An American Tragedy, The Trial, and Lolita, Stephen Kern devotes each chapter of A Cultural History of Causality to examining a specific causal factor or motive for murder-ancestry, childhood, language, sexuality, emotion, mind, society, and ideology. In addition to drawing on particular novels, each chapter considers the sciences (genetics, endocrinology, physiology, neuroscience) and systems of thought (psychoanalysis, linguistics, sociology, forensic psychiatry, and existential philosophy) most germane to each causal factor or motive.  A Corpus Linguistic Approach to Analyzing "Empathy" by Sabrina Fusari English | 2026 | ISBN: 1041053436 | 147 Pages | True PDF | 9 MB  A Conversation With Martin Heidegger By Raymond Tallis 2002 | 244 Pages | ISBN: 0333949498 | PDF | 1 MB Martin Heidegger is one of the most important as well as one of the most difficult thinkers of the last century. Raymond Tallis, who has been arguing with Heidegger for over thirty years, illuminates his fundamental ideas through an imaginary conversation, which is both relaxed and rigorous, witty and profound.  Beau Breslin, "A Constitution for the Living: Imagining How Five Generations of Americans Would Rewrite the Nation's Fundamental Law" English | ISBN: 0804776709 | 2021 | 384 pages | PDF | 3 MB What would America's Constitutions have looked like if each generation wrote its own? |
