From its very inception the Soviet state valued the merits and
benefits of physical culture, which included not only sport but
also health, hygiene, education, labour and defence. Physical
culture propaganda was directed at the Soviet population, and even
more particularly at young people, women and peasants, with the aim
of transforming them into ideal citizens. By using physical culture
and sport to assess social, cultural and political developments
within the Soviet Union, this book provides a new addition to the
historiography of the 1920s and 1930s as well as to general sports
history studies.

In Soviet Nightingales, Susan Grant tracks nursing care in the
Soviet Union from its nineteenth-century origins in Russia through
the end of the Soviet state. With the advent of the USSR, nurses
were instrumental in helping to build the New Soviet Person and in
constructing a socialist society. Disease and illness were rampant
in the early 1920s after years of war, revolution, and famine. The
demand for nurses was great, but how might these workers best serve
the country's needs? By examining living and working conditions,
nurse-patient relations, education, and attempts at international
nursing cooperation, Grant recounts the history of the Bolshevik
effort to define the "Soviet" nurse and organize a new system of
socialist care for the masses. Although the Bolsheviks aimed to
transform healthcare along socialist lines, they ultimately failed
as the struggle to train skilled medical workers became entangled
in politics. Soviet Nightingales draws on rich archival research
from Russia, the United States, and Britain to describe how
ideology reinvented the role of the nurse and shaped the
profession.

This open access book brings together an eclectic cast of scholars
in related disciplines to examine ageing in the Soviet Union,
covering the practice of geriatrics, the science of gerontology,
and the experience of growing old. Chapters in the book focus on
concepts and themes that analyse Soviet ageing in its medical,
political and social contexts, both in the Soviet Union and
internationally. Ageing was hardly a uniquely Soviet phenomenon:
over the past fifty years, moreover, governments and societies have
been dealing with steady increases in their ageing populations.
Almost paradoxically, however, societal focus on this ageing
population, its lives, and its social impact remains extremely
limited. Compared to most sciences, gerontology is pitifully
underfunded; geriatrics is amongst the least prestigious branches
of medicine; and while the world's population is growing undeniably
older, great disagreement remains over what can and should be done
in response. These were the same challenges that the USSR faced in
the post-war decades (1945-1991), and the contributions included in
this volume help to flesh out and contextualize the example of
Soviet gerontology and geriatrics as one possible model of
response. Geriatrics and Ageing in the Soviet Union captures the
growing interest in this important subject, demonstrating the
influence of ageing on Soviet science and society and the impact of
Soviet gerontology and geriatrics at a global level. The book is
available under a CC BY-NC-ND 3.0 licence on

The Art & Times of Daniel Jocz presents the entrancing and
challenging work of American jewellery artist and sculptor Daniel
Jocz. There is a spontaneous quality to the work, yet it is always
rich with meaning. His open spirit is fully embodied in the 2007
neckpiece series An American's Riff on the Millstone Ruff. Inspired
by the extravagant scale of 17th-century Dutch ruffs at the
Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, he decided to update them with automobile
paint. Jeannine Falino takes an in-depth look at the twists and
turns of Jocz's long career, from his early geometric sculptures to
the fashion-forward flocked Candy Wear collection, and from his
ruminations on Marlene Dietrich in the form of necklaces featuring
enamel smoked cigarettes to the wall reliefs he explores today.
Wendy Steiner considers Jocz's place in the avant-garde through the
lens of fashion and culture, while Patricia Harris and David Lyon
explore his involvement in the rollicking Boston jewellery scene of
the late 20th century.

The consummate Susan Grant Lewin Collection - recently donated to
Cooper Hewitt - captures the diversity and achievements of
contemporary art jewellery with nearly 150 significant works from
the last 15 years by designers from the United States, Europe, Asia
and Australia. The brooches, necklaces and rings reveal how these
contemporary jewellers have revolutionised the medium in
transforming jewellery conventions as expressions of our time.
Descriptions of specific works demonstrate that while the mastery
of materials and techniques is critical to the creative process, it
is not an end in itself, but only the means to accomplish an
aesthetic vision. Process statements from each designer and a full
gallery of the jewellery accompany the narrative sequence of
extraordinary, stirring, unique pieces. Published to accompany the
Exhibition at Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, New York
(US), 17 November 2017-28 May 2018.

This thought-provoking collection of essays analyses the complex,
multi-faceted, and even contradictory nature of Stalinism and its
representations. Stalinism was an extraordinarily repressive and
violent political model, and yet it was led by ideologues committed
to a vision of socialism and international harmony. The essays in
this volume stress the complex, multi-faceted, and often
contradictory nature of Stalin, Stalinism, and Stalinist-style
leadership, and. explore the complex picture that emerges. Broadly
speaking, three important areas of debate are examined, united by a
focus on political leadership: * The key controversies surrounding
Stalin's leadership role * A reconsideration of Stalin and the Cold
War * New perspectives on the cult of personality Revisioning
Stalin and Stalinism is a crucial volume for all students and
scholars of Stalin's Russia and Cold War Europe.
This collection compares Russian and Soviet medical workers -
physicians, psychiatrists and nurses, and examines them within an
international framework that challenges traditional Western
conceptions of professionalism and professionalization through
exploring how these ideas developed amongst medical workers in
Russia and the Soviet Union. Ideology and everyday life are
examined through analyses of medical practice while gender is
assessed through the experience of women medical professionals and
patients. Cross national and entangled history is explored through
the prism of health care, with medical professionals crossing
borders for a number of reasons: to promote the principles and
advancements of science and medicine internationally; to serve
altruistic purposes and support international health care
initiatives; and to escape persecution. Chapters in this volume
highlight the diversity of experiences of health care, but also
draw attention to the shared concerns and issues that make science
and medicine the subject of international discussion.

This volume constitutes the proceedings of the Horses and Humans
Symposium, held in 2000 at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History
Powdermill Nature Preserve, in Rector, Pennsylvania, USA, in honor
of Mary Aiken Littauer. The four-day symposium brought together 35
academics from Eurasia and America from the disciplines of
archaeology, art history, history, paleontology, biology,
veterinary medicine, animal husbandry, and other fields for
presented papers, round-table discussions, demonstrations and much
lively debate in the evenings. The culmination was a one-day public
event at the St. Clair Showgrounds called the Celebration of the
Horse that involved a wide range of equestrian performances by over
50 horses and riders for a public audience of over 500. In addition
to the production of this volume, the symposium introduced many
equine scholars to each other and initiated both collaboration and
communication amongst this active community.
