This book analyses women as spectators at men's association
football (soccer) in Britain from 1863 to 1939. The author shows
that women have always been present at men's football in Britain, a
fact not always acknowledged in modern popular accounts of the
game, albeit as a small minority in overall attendances. Some women
have always been 'authentic' fans of football, both knowledgeable
and enthusiastic in their support, and this book will demonstrate
that.
In a unique survey, based on new census data, "Geographic
Perspectives on Soviet Central Asia" highlights the region's
geographic, economic and ecological problems since 1945. Painting a
grim picture, this book investigates how the combination of rapid
population growth and declining per capita investment is causing
economic conditions to slide in rural areas and encouraging an
ecological catastrophe. The authors discuss the effects of low
rural out-migration, and show that at current growth rates the
rural working-age population will double with each generation.
Unprecedented in a developed country, this is causing the region to
become more rather than less rural. Soviet Central Asia is an area
of low productivity, and the book considers the lack of support
from Soviet central government to the region. Wishing to maximize
their return to capital and labour, the government is concentrating
its investment in the European West and directing insufficient
funds for a growing workforce in Central Asia. Soviet Central Asia
also faces grave ecological problems; the declining level of the
Aral Sea, extensive soil salinization and water pollution. This
book should be of interest to undergra

Human ecology - the study and practice of relationships between the
natural and the social environment - has gained prominence as
scholars seek more effectively to engage with pressing global
concerns. In the past seventy years most human ecology has skirted
the fringes of geography, sociology and biology. This volume
pioneers radical new directions. In particular, it explores the
power of indigenous and traditional peoples' epistemologies both to
critique and to complement insights from modernity and
postmodernity. Aimed at an international readership, its
contributors show that an inter-cultural and transdisciplinary
approach is required. The demands of our era require a scholarship
of ontological depth: an approach that can not just debate issues,
but also address questions of practice and meaning. Organized into
three sections - Head, Heart and Hand - this volume covers the
following key research areas: Theories of Human Ecology Indigenous
and Wisdom Traditions Eco-spiritual Epistemologies and Ontology
Research practice in Human Ecology The researcher-researched
relationship Research priorities for a holistic world With the
study of human ecology becoming increasingly imperative, this
comprehensive volume will be a valuable addition for classroom use.

A city set on a hill, inescapably visible. A lit lamp brilliantly

it--Robert Lewis shows how your church can become a strong,
well-traveled link between heaven and earth in your community. In
this engaging and uplifting book, Lewis tells the stories and
shares the experiences and lessons of Fellowship Bible Church to
show * what it will take to reconnect your church with your
community * the how-to's of "incarnational bridge building" * true
stories of i2 in action * how to expand the i2 effort through new
partnerships and adventures * requirements of the church in the
21st century Discover how the power of incarnational
bridge-building can impact your church and your community at the

The SS grew out of Adolf Hitler's and Heinrich Himmler's obsession
to prevent the treachery they believed to have caused the German
defeat in the First World War. It was to be an elite corps of
politically aware soldiers whose primary aim was to prevent the
undermining of the Nazi Party by rendering its potential enemies
"harmless." This disturbing story reveals not only the inner
workings of the SS, but also its paramount role in the mass murder
of Europe's Jews, homosexuals, and gypsies; its organization of the
death squads throughout occupied Europe; and the military campaigns
undertaken by the Waffen SS.
