This book explores the relationship between embodiment and the production of the key structures which frame agency to map out potential for social change. It uses modalities of ageing embodiment in the context of sport participation in later life, specifically Master athletics, including barriers, opportunities and physiological dimensions.

This innovative and adventurous work, now in paperback, uses broadly feminist and postmodernist modes of analysis to explore what motivates damaging attitudes and practices towards disability. The book argues for the significance of the psycho-social imaginary and suggests a way forward in disability's queering of normative paradigms.

Investigating the current interest in obesity and fatness, this book explores the problems and ambiguities that form the lived experience of 'fat' women in contemporary Western society. Engaging with dominant ideas about 'fatness', and analysing the assumptions that inform anti-fat attitudes in the West, The 'Fat' Female Body explores the moral panic over the 'obesity epidemic', and the intersection of medicine and morality in pathologising 'fat' bodies. It contributes to the emerging field of fat studies by offering not only alternative understandings of subjectivity, the (re)production of public knowledge(s) of 'fatness', and politics of embodiment, but also the possibility of (re)reading 'fat' bodies to foster more productive social relations.

Tommy Ketchum, also known as TK, is used to his little brother Travis tagging along with him and his gang-a band of friends who love to hang out, play sports, and seek out mischief. But when Ol' Blue, one of the boy's lucky baseball bat, is snatched by Bart Woods-the Menace of Mt. Vernon-and his sidekick Carlos, the Gang embarks on a covert mission to get it back. With the toughest baseball game of the season looming in the distance, Josh McKenzie is desperate to help his team pull off the upset-but he cannot do it without Ol' Blue. As revenge eats at the collective mind of the Gang, they must first figure out a way to get through old man Weaver's yard-the only thing that stands between the Gang and the Menace's family compound. But creepy old man Weaver is not about to make the boys' job easy-and neither is his savage dog. In this first adventure of the TNT gang, all the boys soon learn that even the best laid plans can go awry-especially when tangling with the town menace.
