The second edition of Ted Patterson's illustrated history of
football in Baltimore continues the story of the Ravens'
success-from their first Super Bowl victory in 2001 to the
emotional parade through downtown Baltimore after winning Super
Bowl XLVII. Patterson is joined by Baltimore poet and sports
aficionado Dean Smith, whose new chapters capture the energy of
Purple Fridays, the larger-than-life personalities of Ray Lewis,
Hall of Famer Jonathan Ogden, Jamal Lewis, Matt Stover, Ed Reed,
and Joe Flacco, and the city's embrace of the Ravens as a
reflection of Baltimore itself. Football in Baltimore is a tour of
one of the world's premier collections of Baltimore sports
memorabilia-highlighting memorable games and players and exploring
a pop culture that surrounded and has survived them. Patterson
moved to Baltimore in what turned out to be the final decade of the
Baltimore Colts and has amassed a remarkable collection of items
that both collectors and sports fans will enjoy. Patterson
introduces us to the teams and early stars of Johns Hopkins and
Morgan State; Army-Navy games in old Municipal Stadium; high-school
rivalries like City-Poly, Loyola-Calvert Hall, Gilman-McDonogh, and
the great years of Patterson High; the original Colts (colors
silver and green); and, at considerable length, the legendary
Baltimore Colts of Johnny Unitas, Lenny Moore, Raymond Berry, Alan
"the Horse" Ameche, Artie Donovan, Bert Jones, and Lydell Mitchell.
He includes the next chapters in this eventful story: the fight to
bring pro football back to the city, the dawn of the Ravens era,
and the building of a new football stadium in downtown Baltimore.
This collection, edited by Jim A. Kuypers, analyzes genres of
public communication to examine how the pandemic has impacted
specific areas of scholarship within the communication discipline.
Contributors begin each chapter by acknowledging the parameters of
their sub-discipline and then discussing key elements being
affected by the pandemic and pandemic responses. Viewing the
pandemic through the eyes of their sub-disciplines, contributors
offer unique insights on the effects of the pandemic upon human
communication in their specific area of focus, examining how the
pandemic will continue to affect the teaching of their subject
areas and providing suggestions for future research.
Sub-disciplines represented in this collection include digital
rhetoric, journalism & mass communication, free speech, public
relations, sports communication, public address, health
communication, spiritual communication, and popular culture.
Scholars of communication, media studies, and education will find
this book particularly useful.
As we approach the end of the twentieth century, the ways in which knowledge--scientific, social, and cultural--is produced are undergoing fundamental changes. In The New Production of Knowledge, a distinguished group of authors analyze these changes as marking the transition from established institutions, disciplines, practices, and policies to a new mode of knowledge production. Identifying such elements as reflexivity, transdisciplinarity, and heterogeneity within this new mode, the authors consider their impact and interplay with the role of knowledge in social relations. While the knowledge produced by research and development in science and technology is accorded central focus, the authors also outline the changing dimensions of social scientific and humanities knowledge and the relations between the production of knowledge and its dissemination through education. Placing science policy and scientific knowledge within the broader context of contemporary society, this book will be essential reading for all those concerned with the changing nature of knowledge, with the social study of science, with educational systems, and with the correlation between research and development and social, economic, and technological development. "Thought-provoking in its identification of issues that are global in scope; for policy makers in higher education, government, or the commercial sector." --Choice "By their insightful identification of the recent social transformation of knowledge production, the authors have been able to assert new imperatives for policy institutions. The lessons of the book are deep." --Alexis Jacquemin, Universite Catholique de Louvain and Advisor, Foreign Studies Unit, European Commission "Should we celebrate the emergence of a 'post-academic' mode of postmodern knowledge production of the post-industrial society of the 21st Century? Or should we turn away from it with increasing fear and loathing as we also uncover its contradictions. A generation of enthusiasts and/or critics will be indebted to the team of authors for exposing so forcefully the intimate connections between all the cognitive, educational, organizational, and commercial changes that are together revolutionizing the sciences, the technologies, and the humanities. This book will surely spark off a vigorous and fruitful debate about the meaning and purpose of knowledge in our culture." --Professor John Ziman, (Wendy, Janey at Ltd. is going to provide affiliation. Contact if you don't hear from her.) "Jointly authored by a team of distinguished scholars spanning a number of disciplines, The New Production of Knowledge maps the changes in the mode of knowledge production and the global impact of such transformations. . . . The authors succeed . . . at sketching out, in very large strokes, the emerging trends in knowledge production and their implications for future society. The macro focus of the book is a welcome change from the micro obsession of most sociologists of science, who have pretty much deconstructed institutions and even scientific knowledge out of existence." --Contemporary Sociology "This book is a timely contribution to current discussion on the breakdown of and need to renegotiate the social contract between science and society that Vannevar Bush and likeminded architects of science policy constructed immediately after World War II. It goes far beyond the usual scattering of fragmentary insights into changing institutional landscapes, cognitive structures, or quality control mechanisms of present day science, and their linkages with society at large. Tapping a wide variety of sources, the authors provide a coherent picture of important new characteristics that, taken altogether, fundamentally challenge our traditional notions of what academic research is all about. This well-founded analysis of the social redistribution of knowledge and its associated power patterns helps articulate what otherwise tends to remain an--albeit widespread--intuition. Unless they adapt to the new situation, universities in the future will find the centers of gravity of knowledge production moving even further beyond their ken. Knowledge of the social and cognitive dynamics of science in research is much needed as a basis of science and technology policymaking. The New Production of Knowledge does a lot to fill this gap. Another unique feature is its discussion of the humanities, which are usually left out in works coming out of the social studies of science." --Aant Elzinga, University od Goteborg
