Public Space, Media Space asks how public space is being mediatised
in different ways in different cities around the world today. Urban
public spaces today are saturated by media, perhaps more than ever
before. These range from highly visible large LED screens in cities
like Tokyo, through the cassette sermons one hears in the streets
of Cairo, to the invisible, inaudible satellite surveillance
systems that are everywhere. They include personal media like MP3
players and mobile phones, public information systems, commercial
advertising, and more. How do these media shape, interconnect, or
constitute physical public space, and how do they connect to
virtual public spaces? How should we understand these phenomena? Is
this simply a process of ever greater degradation of the public as
direct face-to-face communication is replaced by ever more mediated
and commercialized forms of communication among strangers? Or are
new publics, new public processes, and new public spaces being
constituted?
For all the billions of dollars the sports industry generates,
its labor laws and negotiations are still relatively new, and their
impact is only beginning to be felt. Labor Relations in
Professional Sports offers a step-by-step examination of how these
new management-player relationships have come about and what they
may portend for the future. In an engaging style that is rich in
sports history and anecdotes, the authors examine the background of
the major team sports--baseball, football, basketball, and
hockey--and analyze how business and legal considerations have
affected each sport's development. They also probe current
unresolved issues and predictable future problems, such as the
relationships of broadcast networks and sports leagues.
Surprisingly, this book with so formidable a title is not only
readable but even difficult to put down. Explanations of complex
legal decisions are reduced to brief, lucid passages. Extensive
footnotes are provided in each chapter for readers who wish greater
detail.
"Choice"
. . . a comprehensive treatment of labor relations in sports. .
. . Overall, the book is a slam-dunk success.
"Journal of Law and Commerce"
The Child, the State, and the Victorian Novel traces the the
story of victimized childhood to its origins in nineteenth-century
Britain. Almost as soon as "childhood" became a distinct category,
Laura C. Berry contends, stories of children in danger were
circulated as part of larger debates about child welfare and the
role of the family in society.
Berry examines the nineteenth-century fascination with
victimized children to show how novels and reform writings
reorganize ideas of self and society as narratives of childhood
distress. Focusing on classic childhood stories such as Oliver
Twist and novels that are not conventionally associated with
particular social problems, such as Dickens's Dombey and Son, the
Bronte sisters' Wuthering Heights and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall,
and George Eliot's Adam Bede, Berry shows the ways in which fiction
that purports to deal with private life, particularly the domain of
the family, nevertheless intervenes in public and social debates.
At the same time she examines medical, legal, charitable, and
social-relief writings to show how these documents provide crucial
sources in the development of social welfare and modern
representations of the family.
The case studies in this book use authentic injury assessment
examples to help readers link theory and clinical practice with the
goal of becoming competent clinicians. The situations are realistic
and present more than 130 of the injuries that athletic trainers
may encounter in the real world. The questions that accompany the
cases ask readers to identify clinical and differential diagnoses,
critique the evaluating clinician's actions, recommend treatment,
comment on ethical choices, and make many of the decisions they
will face in the field. The cases encourage readers to think and
problem solve; evidence-based answers (for select cases in the text
and for all cases in the instructor's manual) ensure that the
recommended clinical decisions are based on the best available
research, clinical expertise, and patient preferences rather than
on anecdotal practice.
There is considerable debate over the extent to which cognitive
tasks can be learned non-consciously or implicitly. In recent years
a large number of studies have demonstrated a discrepancy between
explicit knowledge and measured performance. This book presents an
overview of these studies and attempts to clarify apparently
disparate results by placing them in a coherent theoretical
framework. It draws on evidence from neuropsychological and
computational modelling studies as well as the many laboratory
experiments. Chapter one sets out the background to the large
number of recent studies on implicit learning. It discusses
research on implicit memory, perception without awareness, and
automaticity. It attempts to set the implicit - explicit
distinction in the context of other relevant dichotomies in the
literature. Chapter two presents an overview of research on the
control of complex systems, from Broadbent (1977) through to the
present day. It looks at the accessibility of control task
knowledge, as well as whether there is any other evidence for a
distinction between implicit and explicit modes of learning.
Chapter three critically reviews studies claiming to show that
people can acquire concepts without being verbally aware of the
basis on which they are responding. It shows that concept formation
can be implicit in some sense but not in others. Chapter four
investigates the claim that people can learn sequential information
in an implicit way. Chapter five looks at whether computational
modelling can elucidate the nature of implicit learning. It
examines the feasibility of different exemplar connectionist models
in accounting for performance in concept learning, sequence
learning, and control task experiments. Chapter six reviews
evidence concerning dissociations between implicit and explicit
knowledge in various neuropsychological syndromes. Finally,
chapters seven and eight discuss the many practical and theoretical
implications of the research.

Interpretations is a companion book that provides responses and
interpretations to the case studies in Athletic and Orthopedic
Injury Assessment: A Case Study Approach. Research, evidence-based
practices, and professional experience form the basis of these
responses and interpretations. The suggested answers for case
questions include information such as identification of
differential and clinical diagnoses, explanations of diagnostic
tests, relevant anatomical information, and more. We hope you find
this book helpful in responding to the case questions, whether you
are an instructor leading class discussions and analyzing student
work, a preprofessional preparing to interpret the case scenarios
on the BOC national certification examination, or a student seeking
to compare the suggested answers with your own analyses.

Chinese cinema continues to go from strength to strength. After
art-house hits like Chen Kaige's Yellow Earth (1984) and Wong
Kar-wai's In the Mood for Love (2000), the Oscar-winning success of
Ang Lee's Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon (2000) disproved the old
myth that subtitled films could not succeed at the multiplex.
Chinese Films in Focus II updates and expands the original Chinese
Films in Focus: 25 New Takes with fourteen brand new essays, to
offer thirty-four fresh and insightful readings of key individual
films. The new edition addresses films from mainland China, Taiwan,
Hong Kong and other parts of the Chinese diaspora and the
historical coverage ranges from the 1930s to the present. The
essays, by leading authorities on Chinese cinema as well as
up-and-coming scholars, are concise, accessible, rich, and on the
cutting edge of current research. Each contributor outlines
existing writing and presents an original perspective on the film,
making this volume a rich resource for classroom use, scholarly
research and general reading for anyone wanting to understand more
about the historical development and rich variety of Chinese
cinema. Contributors: Annette Aw, Chris Berry, Yomi Braester,

Implicit learning is said to occur when a person learns about a complex stimulus without necessarily intending to do so, and in such a way that the resulting knowledge is difficult to express. Over the last 30 years, a number of studies have claimed to show evidence of implicit learning. In more recent years, however, considerable debate has arisen over the extent to which cognitive tasks can in fact be learned implicitly. Much of the debate has centred on the questions of how unconscious, and how abstract, is implicitly acquired knowledge? The aim of this book is to provide students and researchers with a self-contained and balanced summary of the various theoretical and empirical positions that are currently shaping this exciting area of research.
