This collection of essays, written by a number of respected sport
management scholars, addresses many of the challenges and issues
facing today's sport management academic programs. It is intended
to begin a professional and scholarly discussion to identify the
best, or at least the most logical, paths to follow for sport
management programs and the industry with which they are so closely
aligned. Contributors, invited to participate based on their
recognized areas of expertise, address specific topics using their
own unique voices and writing styles. In the ebook version, essays
link to video introductions by the authors and to online discussion
forums where readers can respond to the issues presented in the
essays. From the Preface: The field of sport management stands at
an academic crossroads; the essays in this book address the
following and other emerging questions: Should our successful field
of study continue to model other disciplines and perpetuate their
successes, as well as their shortcomings, or should we determine
our own specific model for academic success? How are we doing in
preparing future sport managers to perform in the industry and on
the global stage? Where do we belong in the scheme of academe? The
book's goal is to generate discussion among sport management
professors, industry professionals who serve as adjunct faculty and
participate on sport management program advisory boards, doctoral
students who intend to teach in sport management programs, and
others who explore and critique higher education in general.

Leading golf instructor Robert Baker and Muscle Activation founder
Douglas Heel present this guide to improving the adaptability and
power of your golf game. With easy to follow techniques you will be
able to work on your slice, learning to make more direct shots and
how to fix faults.
In recent years concerns over the use of results of scientific
advances, expectations about how medical decisions are made, and
demographic changes have raised ethical questions about how
resources are allocated, and how the principles of beneficence, and
respect for patient autonomy are applied. The effect that bioethics
can have on policy decisions and health care delivery demand an
enhanced approach to our understanding of such complex issues. This
volume opens a window to how empirical social research can be used
to illuminate and answer such quandaries and offers a practical
resource for those wishing to engage in this type of research.
Through a thorough look at both quantitative and qualitative
methods utilized in key research investigations in bioethics, the
book examines the impact of such investigations on clinical and
policy decision-making, scholarship and on the advancement of
theory. The varied sociological and anthropological research
examples that are presented allow readers to better understand the
richness and breadth of such work as well as relevant practical and
theoretical approaches.
Last, but not least, our aim with this book is to stimulate further
discussion of avenues toward a more solid integration of bioethics
and empirical social research and, in that process, further our
understanding of the complex bioethical environment surrounding us.

Teaching Enslavement in American History provides classroom
teachers with the resources necessary to navigate one of the most
difficult topics in any history course. This volume is the product
of a collaboration between three university professors and a team
of experienced middle and high school teachers. Its nine chapters
include the context for topics like the middle passage, the
Constitution's position on enslavement, African cultural retention,
and resistance to enslavement. The resources include 18 lesson
plans and dozens of short primary and secondary sources modeled on
document-based questions and the inquiry design model. Real
teaching requires courage, a deep understanding of the complexity
of the subject matter, and skillful use of primary sources. Rather
than teaching students what to think, Teaching Enslavement in
American History pushes students to learn how to think: empirical
argumentation, source evaluation, understanding of
change-over-time, and analysis of historical context. The lessons
in this book ask students to read, analyze, and contextualize a
variety of primary sources, to identify the limitations of these
sources and to articulate historical contradiction where it occurs.
At the heart of this book is the belief that historical
consciousness leads to societal change. Teaching about enslavement
is not merely about teaching a curriculum, it is about molding
citizens who will lead our democracy in its journey to become a
more perfect union.
