The Adulteration of Children's Sports explores current behavioral
and physiological research about how children's organized sport has
changed; how adults' goals and needs are at the heart of those
changes; and the consequences of those changes on children's
enjoyment of sport and on their autonomy, creativity, and moral
reasoning outside of sport. Adult introduction of early
competition, extrinsic rewards, early sport specialization, and
year-round participation has thwarted children's intrinsic
motivation and contributed to children's attrition from sport.
Kristi Erdal explores concerns about the future of sport itself, as
adult-mediated selection practices whittle down young athletes
earlier on shakier criteria. Parents' and coaches' complicity in
these practices, however, is based on intermediaries poorly
interpreting (or ignoring) the research literature. Thus, the final
chapters of this book are about translating the research into
applied ideas for change. Erdal provides an essential introduction
to evidence-based research about children's health and well-being
in sport and debunks myths along the way. Adults built the problems
compiled in this text. We can dismantle them as well.
This globe-spanning history of sugar is "an epic story on a broad canvas that never loses sight of individual moments of human drama; a historical methodology infused with political, intellectual, cultural, and social strands; a complex sequence of cause and effect; an illuminating synthesis of primary and secondary sources; and a thoughtful marriage of words, picture, and design." (Horn Book starred review)
Here is the story of how one product allows us to see the grand currents of world history in new ways. Using songs, oral histories, maps, and over 80 archival illustrations, Marc Aronson and Marina Budhos put a human face on this vast pageant. Time line, source notes, bibliography, and index included.
The history of sugar runs like a bright band from religious ceremonies in India to Europe’s Middle Ages, then on to Columbus, who brought the first cane cuttings to the Americas. Sugar caused the loss of countless lives, but it also planted the seeds of revolution that led to freedom in the American colonies, Haiti, and France.
Cane, not cotton or tobacco, drove the bloody Atlantic slave trade and took the lives of countless Africans who toiled on vast sugar plantations under cruel overseers. And yet the very popularity of sugar gave abolitionists in England the one tool that could finally end the slave trade. Sugar moved, murdered, and freed millions; sugar changed the world.

Why are cultural differences significant? How can understanding
them contribute to business success? Cross-cultural management is a
crucial challenge for the successful development of international
business, yet it is often badly understood and poorly implemented.
Misunderstandings arise because culture affects both individuals
and organisations, yet attempts to understand, explain and
interpret these differences have often been hidden between a welter
of conflicting theories and paradigms. This book aims to provide
much-needed guide to both the theory and practice of cross-cultural
management. Using an innovative approach combining theory,
tool-kits and applications, this book takes a fresh look at this
complex topic. It is about recognizing cross-cultural differences,
accounting for them in managerial communications and bridging them
in a variety of negotiations. comprising an exploration of dominant
and alternative theoretical approaches, a research-based tool-kit
exploring responses, and finally a real-life case of a
multicultural situation of clashing values with a critical
description of an attempted solution. At the end of the book, the
author has developed an innovative approach to teaching cultural
sensitivity via exploration of a number of classic film
masterpieces. As a crucial part of the global business environment
and as essential aspect of organisational understanding, this book
will be welcomed by masters-level students of international
business, HRM and organisational behaviour, as well as executives
and consultants involved in cross-border negotiations and
management.

Two SHAPE America Physical Education Administrators of the Year
share what it takes to be an outstanding administrator in
Organization and Administration of Physical Education: Theory and
Practice. Jayne Greenberg and Judy LoBianco, veteran leaders in the
field with decades of successful administration experience, head a
sterling list of contributors who have taught at the elementary,
middle school, high school, and college levels in urban, suburban,
and rural settings. Together, these contributors expound on the
roles and responsibilities of physical education administrators
through both theoretical and practical lenses. The result is a book
that will be highly useful to undergraduate students looking to
enter the field, as well as a resource for administrators in
physical education leadership positions who are looking to acquire
new skills and innovative ideas in each of the five areas of
responsibility covered in the book. Part I covers leadership,
organization, and planning. It explores leadership and management
styles and presents practical theories of motivation, development,
and planning. It also looks at how to plan for the essential
components of an effective, quality physical education program. In
part II, readers examine various curriculum and instruction models
and navigate through curriculum theory and mapping. This section
also offers guidance on planning events, including special programs
and fundraising projects, and how to build a team and secure
community connections for those special events. Part III helps
administrators plan and design new school sites or renovate
existing ones, and it presents contemporary concepts in universal
design and sustainable environmental design. It also offers ideas
on how to incorporate technology to meet the needs of 21st-century
learners, including the use of social media and robotics in
delivering instruction and communication. Part IV explores written,
verbal, and electronic communication issues, as well as legal and
human resource issues. Administrators learn how to lobby and
advocate for physical education, how the legal system affects
schools, and how to examine personnel issues, bullying, and
harassment. Part V explains the fiscal responsibilities inherent in
administrative positions, including budgeting, bidding, and
purchasing. It also shows how administrators can secure funding
independent of district or local funding, offering many examples of
grants and fundraising opportunities with sample grant
applications. Throughout the text, special features-Advice From the
Field and Leadership in Action-share tips, nuggets of wisdom, and
examples of administrators excelling in their various
responsibilities. The book also comes with many practical examples
of forms that are useful in carrying out responsibilities, and each
chapter offers objectives, a list of key concepts, and review
questions to facilitate the learning. In addition, the text has
related online resources consisting of supportive materials and
documents. Organization and Administration of Physical Education:
Theory and Practice, published with SHAPE America, offers the solid
foundational theory that administrators need and shows how to put
that theory into daily practice. Note: A code for accessing
HKPropel is included with all print books.

This unflinching analysis explains the nature of precarity and its
detrimental effects on the health and wellbeing of young people. It
exposes physical educators' unpreparedness to provide inclusive,
fair and equitable forms of physical education that might empower
young people to overcome the mal effects of precarity. Following a
thorough analysis and critique of critical pedagogy, David Kirk
advocates for critical pedagogies of affect as physical education's
response to precarity, providing detailed outlines of these
pedagogies and their grounding in research. He argues that now more
than ever physical educators need to be alive to the serious social
and economic challenges that shape young people's health, happiness
and life chances. This bold and provocative book is essential
reading for all researchers in the field of physical education and
health education pedagogy, as well as teacher educators, curriculum
policy makers, and other professionals who work with young people
living in precarity.
Teaching physical education is a challenging but rewarding
occupation. Finding a way into the profession can be a daunting
task while regular changes in government policy can make it hard to
stay up to date. This engaging new book explains the process of
becoming and being a teacher of secondary school physical
education, from the various routes of entry into the profession, to
the realities of being a qualified PE teacher, to the ways in which
experienced teachers can become teacher educators and nurture the
next generation. It combines rich personal accounts of teaching in,
and being taught, physical education, with practical advice for
trainees, newly qualified teachers and established professionals,
with an emphasis throughout on the importance of critical
self-reflection. The book begins by exploring the nature and
purpose of physical education and examining the historical
development of initial teacher training. It examines recent changes
in training, policy and curriculum, and offers an overview of the
various ways of becoming a PE teacher, including the Post Graduate
Certificate in Education (PGCE) and school and employment based
routes. The book offers advice on what to expect at interview,
meeting the standards for qualifying to teach, and on how to
survive the difficult first year as a newly-qualified teacher. It
also outlines the challenges and rewards of being a qualified
teacher, mentor or curriculum leader, as well as a teacher educator
within higher education. Concise, helpful, and filled with sensible
insights based on real experiences of teaching physical education,
Becoming a Physical Education Teacher is an essential read for
anybody considering entering the profession, or for students,
trainees, newly qualified or experienced teachers wanting to
understand better the process of becoming, and being, a successful
PE teacher.
There is now a widespread expectation that teachers and coaches
should be reflective practitioners, an expectation written into
national standards of education in many countries. This innovative
book introduces the methods by which teachers and coaches can
conduct research into their own professional practice and therefore
become more effective reflective practitioners, improving their
students' learning as a result. As the only book on practitioner
research that focuses specifically on the unique challenges of
working in a physical education or youth sport environment, it uses
real-life case studies and applied practical examples to guide the
reader through the research process step-by-step. Examining the
what, why and how of four key research methods in particular -
action research, narrative enquiry, autoethnography and self-study
- it provides an expert analysis of the strengths and limitations
of each method and demonstrates how conducting reflective research
can produce tangible results in improving both teaching and
learning. This is an invaluable resource for all those interested
in enhancing their professional development as students,
practitioners or researchers of physical education and youth sport.
