WW Norton & Co Club Soccer 101 The Essential Guide to the Stars
Book SynopsisEverything football fans need to know about the 101 most talked about teams in the world.Trade Review"All the classic stories are here [as well as] lesser-known tidbits... Dempsey's prose is a nice mix of flavorful sports-reporting and poetic impressions... Enjoyable and informative." "Succeeds wildly... Dempsey packs a surprising amount of history and information into the scant few pages allotted for each of the teams, a testament to his knowledge and tenacity... [R]eaders even remotely interested in soccer will have a difficult time putting it down." -- Douglas Lord "Luke Dempsey is one of the funniest, most charming narrative companions I know. This book is the perfect vessel for his genius and one of the world's great reference books. I will keep it next to my television, so that I will have a wholesome way to kill halftimes." -- Franklin Foer, bestselling author of How Soccer Explains the World "Built on a vault of detail that will impress soccer aficionados, supplying choice cuts of thinking, anecdote and history that can be used to impress when waxing authoritatively on the game...[It's] free from sentimentality, and crafted with a sharp wit." -- Alan Black

John Wiley and Sons Ltd The Comfort of People
Book SynopsisAt the end of life, our comfort lies mainly in relationships. In this book, Daniel Miller, one of the world's leading anthropologists, examines the social worlds of people suffering from terminal or long-term illness. Threading together a series of personal stories, based on interviews conducted with patients of an English hospice, Miller draws out the implications of these narratives for our understanding of community, friendship, and kinship, but also loneliness and isolation. This is a book about people's lives, not their deaths: about the hospice patients rather than the hospice. It focuses on the comfort given by friends, carers and relatives through both face-to-face relations and, increasingly, online communication. Miller asks whether the loneliness and isolation he uncovers is the result of a decline of English patterns of socialising, or their continuation. This moving and deeply humane book combines warmth and sharp observation with anthropological insight and practical suggestions for the use of media by the hospice. It will be of interest not only to students and scholars of anthropology, sociology, social policy and media and cultural studies, but also to healthcare professionals and, indeed, to anyone who would like to know more about the role of relationships in the final stage of our lives.Trade Review'The Comfort of People reveals, in both technicolour and shades of grey, the ordinariness, the drama, the simplicity and the complexity of networks as people live out lives in the shadow of a serious diagnosis... These stories need to be read by all those working with dying people.' —Dr Ros Taylor, Clinical Director, Hospice UKTable of ContentsAcknowledgments Foreword Introduction Story 1) Sarah Story 2) Champneys for the Terminal Story 3) The Curse Of Confidentiality Story 4) Parkinson�s Story 5) Four Friends Story 6) Betty and Gloria Story 7) Tom, Dick and Robin Rigby Story 8) My Fair Lady Story 9) Maypole Story 10) Control Centre Story 11) Our Forum Story 12) Depression Story 13) Community Story 14) Bluebells Story 15) The Intimacy Of Strangers Story 16) The Silent Community Story 17) In This Room Story 18) Matt Conclusions Recommendations for Hospice Use of New Media Bibliography

Mandala Publishing Group The Yogasutras: A Short Course
Book SynopsisThis short course sets out a detailed study of the text, philosophy, and significance of the millennia-old yoga system defined in the Yogasutras. The popular practice of yoga finds its origin in one of the most venerated wisdom books of India: the Yogasutras. Comprised of 196 short statements on the essential teachings of yoga, Patanjali’s Yogasutras holds the position of being the seminal work that defines the yoga system. Over the centuries many important commentaries have been written that seek to explain and extrapolate the full meaning of the sutras, and to this day, the text continues to be appreciated for the profound wisdom contained within it. While the Yogasutras were originally written in Sanskrit, this short course offers an accessible translation and commentary without sacrificing any of its profound wisdom. This edition will allow the reader to study and dive into the meaning and philosophy of this ancient text with its significant contemporary relevance. Yoga students, practitioners, and scholars alike will appreciate the way in which this short course guides the reader through the text.
