This book explores the ways in which neoliberal capitalism has
reshaped the lives of working-class men around the world. It
focuses on the effects of employment change and of new forms of
governmentality on men's experiences of both public and private
life. The book presents a range of international studies-from the
US, UK, and Australia to Western and Northern Europe, Russia, and
Nigeria-that move beyond discourses positing a 'masculinity crisis'
or pathologizing working-class men. Instead, the authors look at
the active ways men have dealt with forms of economic and symbolic
marginalization and the barriers they have faced in doing so. While
the focus of the volume is employment change, it covers a range of
topics from consumption and leisure to education and family.

This edited collection provides the first in-depth analysis of
social policies and the risks faced by young people. The book
explores the effects of both the economic crisis and austerity
policies on the lives of young Europeans, examining both the
precarity of youth transitions, and the function of welfare state
policies.
Probabilistic Modelling in Bioinformatics and Medical Informatics
has been written for researchers and students in statistics,
machine learning, and the biological sciences. The first part of
this book provides a self-contained introduction to the methodology
of Bayesian networks. The following parts demonstrate how these
methods are applied in bioinformatics and medical informatics. All
three fields - the methodology of probabilistic modeling,
bioinformatics, and medical informatics - are evolving very
quickly. The text should therefore be seen as an introduction,
offering both elementary tutorials as well as more advanced
applications and case studies.
This book addresses the recent marginalisation of class theory in
youth sociology. The authors argue for the importance of
reinstating class analysis as central to understanding young
people's lives in the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand.
Their analysis recognises that in periods of social change, class
relationships and processes can and do get reconfigured, but by
drawing on the work of Pierre Bourdieu, they show that class, while
being dynamic, remains core to shaping the everyday lives of young
people. Students and scholars across a range of areas including the
sociology of youth, sociology of education, social work and social
policy will find this book of interest.
This book examines gender attitudes in Reddit's popular video
gaming community subreddit, r/gaming. Video gaming has long been
understood as a masculinised social space and, while increasing
numbers of girls and women now engage in the pastime, boys and men
remain the predominant social actors. Furthermore, the gaming
community has been widely identified as a prime case study in
broader concerns around 'toxic' masculinity and gendered online
harassment. However, there is also underexamined evidence of a
growing movement in the community coming forward to voice its
collective opposition. Utilising an innovative combination of
computational and qualitative methods, the research undertaken here
exposes this fuller picture, revealing significant contestation and
a spectrum of attitudes that mark out this popular gaming community
as a battleground for gender (in)equality. Students and scholars
across a range of disciplines, including gender studies, media
studies, cultural studies, sociology, games studies and computer
sciences, will find this book of interest.
One of the greatest pitchers of his era, William Arthur "Candy"
Cummings was born in 1848, when baseball was in its infancy. As the
game evolved through the 1870s, Candy's invention, the curveball,
played a transformative role. His stamp on baseball earned him a
place in the Hall of Fame. Drawing on extensive research, this
first full-length biography traces Candy's New England heritage and
chronicles his rise to the top, from pitching for amateur teams in
mid-1860s Brooklyn to playing in the National Association of
Professional Base Ball Players-the first major league-and then the
newly-formed National League. A critical examination of the
evidence and competing claims reveals that Cummings was, indeed,
the originator of the curveball.
