Chautauqua Summer by Rebecca Chace Pdf

At the turn of the century, Chautauqua meant the summer tent shows in the town of Chautauqua, New York. But for the past decade it has stood for the month-long summer tour of a band of vaudevillians, led by The Flying Karamazov Brothers, which travels to small towns in the American Northwest and over to Canada. A few summers ago, Rebecca Chace joined the Chautauqua as a trapeze artist, along with the Karamazovs; Artis the Spoonman; Magical Mystical Michael; The Girls Who Wear Glasses; folksinger Faith Petric; Toes Tiranoff; and many others, including the band and the children of various performers, who put together their own act. This is her story of that summer, and of her romance with Dmitri Karamazov.

Routledge Handbook of Sport in the Middle East by Danyel Reiche,Paul Michael Brannagan Pdf

This Handbook provides a succinct overview of sport in the Middle East, drawing in scholars from a wide variety of geographical and disciplinary backgrounds (history, politics, sociology, economics and regional studies), with different methodological approaches, to create the ‘go-to’ text on the subject. After the introduction, 33 chapters from leading subject experts cover areas including history, politics, society, economy and nationhood. The authors help shed light on how certain Middle Eastern countries have become increasingly active in international sports, and the efforts made to positioning themselves as the new global ‘sports hubs’. Split into five sections, the book offers a multi-disciplinary analysis of a diverse range of sports across the geographic Middle East, including football, mixed martial arts, rugby, athletics and cycling. The authors highlight and respond to issues such as the naturalisation of athletes, female athleticism, sports media and supporter cultures. The Routledge Handbook of Sport in the Middle East stands apart from previous research through offering first-hand accounts of sport in the area from authors who live and work in the region or have a history of regularly visiting and conducting research in the region. It will be of interest to academics and students alike, in the fields of Middle East politics, sport, sport in the Middle East, international relations, governance and sociology.

Climatic Variations and Forcing Mechanisms of the Last 2000 Years by Philip Douglas Jones,Raymond Stephen Bradley,Jean Jouzel Pdf

A profound knowledge of the past climate is vital for our understanding of global warming. The past 2000 years are both the period which is of most relevance to the next century and that for which there is the most evidence. High-resolution proxy records for this period are available from a variety of sources. Five sections consider dendroclimatology, ice cores, corals, historical records, lake varves, and other indicators. The final two sections cover the histories of various forcing factors and attempt to bring together records from a variety of sources and provide explanations.
