Golf in Britain A social history from the beginnings to the present day

Golf in Britain A social history from the beginnings to the present day

First published in 1975 Golf in Britain traces the growth of the game from its small beginnings in fifteenth century Scotland to 1970s when it emerged as a widely enjoyed and massively financed sport. Golf has been peculiarly a subject related to economic and social change in society. Initially a folk game played in a small part of Scotland then for many years a pastime dominated by the wealthy leisured classes including Royalty golf developed at the turn of the nineteenth century into a sport enjoyed by all sections of the community. One aspect of this change is reflected in the role of women on the links. Another change concerns the fashions in correct wear and equipment both part of a larger golfing etiquette so important to the game. Attitudes too towards the professional golfer have changed dramatically over the years and an increasingly important role is given to young players. Geoffrey Cousins has combined his specialist knowledge and considerable enthusiasm to make a very readable book which will appeal to everyone interested in the role of golf in our history. | Golf in Britain A social history from the beginnings to the present day

Level Set Method in Medical Imaging Segmentation

Level Set Method in Medical Imaging Segmentation

Level set methods are numerical techniques which offer remarkably powerful tools for understanding analyzing and computing interface motion in a host of settings. When used for medical imaging analysis and segmentation the function assigns a label to each pixel or voxel and optimality is defined based on desired imaging properties. This often includes a detection step to extract specific objects via segmentation. This allows for the segmentation and analysis problem to be formulated and solved in a principled way based on well-established mathematical theories. Level set method is a great tool for modeling time varying medical images and enhancement of numerical computations. | Level Set Method in Medical Imaging Segmentation

High-Impact ePortfolio Practice and Catalyst in Action Set

This set includes: High-Impact ePortfolio Practice and Catalyst in Action. Between them these two books by on the one hand providing the theory foundations and guiding principles for impementing ePortfolios and on the other providing concrete examples of implementation across institutional types and a wide range of programs provide faculty and administrators with a comprehensive roadmap to integrating ePortfolios in multiple settings at their institutions as a means to improve retention graduation and student engagement. Review of High-Impact ePortfolio Practice: “One of the main takeaways for me is that good ePortfolio work can be done effectively at any type of institution. Happily Eynon and Gambino explain how by illustrating the requisite steps and conditions to do ePortfolio well in the classroom and beyond. Moreover all students benefit especially those who are less well prepared for college which is one of the most important and necessary features of a high impact practice. The other noteworthy lesson for me personally is that the field now has another HIP to add to the officially approved list. My sincere thanks and congratulations to all those involved for producing this important work and providing the guidance the enterprise needs to strengthen undergraduate education and enrich and deepen student learning. Bravo. ”—George Kuh Senior Scholar National Institute for Learning Outcomes Assessment Chancellor’s Professor of Higher Education Emeritus - Indiana University Review of Catalyst in Action: “Catalyst in Action features twenty case studies from a diverse set of institutions extending from broad access community colleges through four-year colleges and major universities in the U.

The Lively Audience A Study of Children Around the TV Set

The Lively Audience A Study of Children Around the TV Set

The Lively Audience (1986) studies television from the children’s own point of view. Contrary to most prevailing opinion it contends that television has much to teach children and that their relationship with the medium is not one of passive dependency after all. Research shows that what children gain from television depends very much on the child’s age and social experience and that children ‘see’ television differently from adults. This book examines this issue and gives us a different understanding of the child audience and the impact of their television viewing. | The Lively Audience A Study of Children Around the TV Set

New Perspectives on Sport Volunteerism

New Perspectives on Sport Volunteerism

The book highlights ‘new perspectives’ on volunteerism in sport covering frameworks methods context and variables on several levels from community sport clubs to international events. In analysing the processes of control within voluntary sport clubs a new theoretical framework – critical realism (CR) – challenges how we think about theory and how scientific inquiry should proceed. Further themes raised are: Should sports clubs be viewed as a crossing between a traditional volunteer culture dominated by collective solidarity and a modern volunteer culture focused on the individual benefits? Are former athletes a new group of possible volunteers? Can personal narratives of experiences of being a volunteer in a big international event provide us with new insight that has not previously been considered? Identity is suggested as a motive for understanding volunteers at sporting events. Two new theoretical models are presented one on the development of volunteer commitment and the other on a framework that incorporates both individual- and institutional-level variables. All chapters have recommendations for future research. The testing of these theories and influencing factors will provide new directions in the research of sport volunteerism. This book was originally published as a special issue of European Sport Management Quarterly. | New Perspectives on Sport Volunteerism
