The origins of the game of rugby and the codification of the rules
which defined the game have been glorified in numerous legends,
some of which are little more than sporting hagiography. Following
on from the success of The Rules of Association Football 1863 and
in time for the Rugby World Cup in September - October 2007, this
book investigates the origins of the game of rugby and reproduces
for the first time in a single book both the first rules of the
game, drawn up at Rugby School in 1845 and the first rules of the
Rugby Football Union, published in 1871. The introduction by Jed
Smith, the curator of the Rugby Football Museum in Twickenham, will
provide the first systematic exploration of the origin of the rules
of the game and their development. Includes images from the unique
manuscript held at the Rugby Football Union as well as
nineteenth-century illustrations of the game as it was first
played, capturing its early spirit and enthusiasm.
First published in 1997, this work makes a substantial
reexamination of the social processes behind the labelling of
patients in hospital care. Taking an interpretive perspective, the
author analyzes the social construction of patient labels
identifying strategies for and the consequences of giving and
receipt of 'good' and 'bad' labels. He shows how the rich data of
truly participant observation in the tradition of reflexive
ethnography can powerfully illuminate the experiences and actions
of both patients and their nurses. It is a critical analysis of key
work in this field. Professor Johnson demonstrates the redundancy
of trait theories of social judgment, offering a more complex and
negotiated reality in which patient labels form a part of a rich
web of unequal power relations between nurses and their clients.

Engineers who play a major role in hazardous waste management, must
have full understanding of technical, regulatory, economic,

Martin Johnson is the towering second row forward who has come to
set the standards of what a professional rugby player should do.
His drive and physical presence mean that he is a natural leader on
the pitch - and off it, too. In this, his long-awaited
autobiography, he looks at the changing world of rugby. He explains
why he led the England team to the brink of a strike in the autumn
of 2000, and provides the definitive account of England's 2003
World Cup triumph, as well as Lions tours and all the goings-on
that make rugby such a special sport. Hugely popular and respected,
Martin Johnson has written vivid autobiography and a remarkable
portrait of modern rugby.
Many of Yorkshire's half a million acres are over 600 metres,
peaking at more than 700 metres above sea level. These are wild,
bleak and barren places, commanding heights of peat moor and
limestone crag, windswept, inspiring and dramatic. But for all
these glorious uplands it's the dales - the valleys - which truly
catch the imagination. As Cumbria has its Lake District, and
Derbyshire its Peak District, so Yorkshire is justifiably famous
for its 'valley district'; The Yorkshire Dales. We can't guarantee
the warmth of the sun, but we can just about cast-iron guarantee
the warmth of the welcome to anyone who's come to enjoy our
beautiful dales. To those of us lucky enough to live here, it's
simply God's Own Country, and we enjoy talking about it as much as
we enjoy walking it and sharing it. If you are a stranger in the
Dales, you won't stay that way for long. All 40 walking routes
include: walking route summary, ratings for Effort Time Distance
Ascents/Descents ! Refreshments and Vertigo risk, fully detailed
walk description including frequent timings to aid navigation and
check your progress, GPS waypoints at every key point on every
route, full colour 1:40,000 scale Ordnance Survey licenced mapping
for each route, short walk and stroll alternatives. Synopsis
Including GPS Waypoint lists and a Place Name Index, this 160-page
colour book contains walking routes within the Yorkshire Dales
(North & Central) region. Wire-O spiral binding allows the book
to lay flat and be folded back on itself without damage. It
features: route summary of exertion rating; refreshments rating;
and more.

We live in an age of media saturation, where with a few clicks of
the remote - or mouse - we can tune in to programming where the
facts fit our ideological predispositions. But what are the
political consequences of this vast landscape of media choice?
Partisan news has been roundly castigated for reinforcing prior
beliefs and contributing to the highly polarized political
environment we have today, but there is little evidence to support
this claim, and much of what we know about the impact of news media
come from studies that were conducted at a time when viewers chose
from among six channels rather than scores. Through a series of
innovative experiments, Kevin Arceneaux and Martin Johnson show
that such criticism is unfounded. Americans who watch cable news
are already polarized, and their exposure to partisan programming
of their choice does not significantly change their initial
position. In fact, the opposite is true: viewers become more
polarized when forced to watch programming that opposes their
beliefs. A much more troubling consequence of the ever-expanding
media environment, the authors show, is that it has allowed people
to tune out the news: the four top-rated partisan news programs
draw a mere three percent of the total number of people watching
television. Overturning much of the conventional wisdom, Changing
Minds or Changing Channels? demonstrates that the strong effects of
media exposure found in past research are simply not applicable in
today's more saturated media landscape.
This book departs from the usual principles-based approach and
instead takes a predominantly consequentialist (harms and benefits)
approach. It aims to be free of abstract philosophy, but will use
the analysis of cases and a reasoned approach to examine
alternative arguments. Whilst the book deals with issues in some
depth it uses plain language and many clear examples of good and
less good practice to illustrate points. It is at a level useful to
both beginning and more experienced researchers.Real world approach
Covers research governance from an international perspective
Practical guidance on ethical committee procedures Direct examples
of good and less good practice Clear, outcomes-based approach
In nearly 25 years as a sports journalist for the Independent,
Daily Telegraph, and The Sunday Times, Martin Johnson has covered
sporting events all over the world, including cricket and tennis in
Australia, golf in America, Formula One in Kuala Lumpur, boxing in
Cairo, petanque in Gran Canaria, beach volleyball in Brazil,
Olympics in Sydney, football in China, and rugby in South Africa.
Sounds like a nice job? You must be joking. Get the true story from
sports journalism's equivalent of Victor Meldrew. Ever tried to get
a phone call out of Nagpur? Make contact with the office from
Norfolk Island? Trudged several miles up a Japanese mountain to
watch Britain's No 1 woman skier plough straight through the first
gate? Attempted to write a semi-coherent report after a night out
with Ian Botham? Nearly frozen to death at a cricket match in New
Zealand? Been hi-jacked in Moscow by a drunken Russian? It's hell
out there, says Martin, who makes out his case for a life of
hardship, deprivation, and a breathless dedication to duty in the
face of overwhelming odds. Frankly, however, we still think it
reads more like the Life of Riley.
