Скачать книгу - Alternative Models of Sports Development in America
In the United States, the entanglement of sports and education has persisted for over a century. Multimillion-dollar high school football stadiums, college coaches whose salaries are many times those of their institutions’ presidents, psychological and educational tolls on student-athletes, and high-profile academic scandals are just symptoms of a system that has come under increasing fire. Institutions large and small face persistent quandaries: which do they value more, academic integrity or athletic success? Which takes precedence: prioritizing elite teams and athletes, or making it possible for all students to participate in sports? How do we create opportunities for academic—not just athletic—development for players? In Alternative Models of Sports Development in America, B. David Ridpath—a leading sports development researcher who has studied both the US system and the European club model—offers clear steps toward creating a new status quo. He lays out four possible alternative models that draw various elements from academic, athletic, and European approaches. His proposals will help increase access of all young people to the benefits of sports and exercise, allow athletes to also thrive as students, and improve competitiveness. The result is a book that will resonate with sports development professionals, academic administrators, and parents.


Web Application Development with PHP 4.0 Web Application Development with PHP 4.0

While the success of Open Source software like Linux or Apache has been documented extensively throughout all mainstream media, the rise of PHP has gone largely unnoticed. Still, the Web scripting language PHP is the most popular module for the Apache Web server, according to an E-Soft survey (www.e-softinc.com/survey/). Netcraft studies have found that PHP is in use on over 6% of all Web domains in the world (see www.netcraft.com/survey).That’s an incredible market penetration for a rather specialized product.This popularity continues to rise exponentially. Increasingly, this is being reflected in traditional media: As of May, 2000, more than 20 books about PHP have been published in different languages, with more in the pipeline. Commercial players are beginning to join the bandwagon: PHP is included with Web servers, for example C2’s Stronghold, and Linux distributions. A new company, Zend Technologies, has been formed to provide commercial add-ons and support for PHP.A long list of large-scale Web sites employ PHP, as well as hundreds of thousands of small to medium Web sites.

Classic American Short Stories Classic American Short Stories

Год издания: 

Стремительность жизни в Америке конца XIX – начала XX века породила «журнальный уклад» литературы и появление нового вида новеллистики – «американской новеллы». В американских новеллах живая манера повествования сочетается с искрометным юмором и доброй авторской иронией по отношению к героям. Серьезное в них пересекается с комическим, лаконичность изображения компенсируется живыми, яркими характерами героев. Главными героями рассказов часто становятся тихие, неприметные личности, так называемые «маленькие люди». Но сколько авторской любви и таланта вложено в каждого из них, сколько внимания уделено мельчайшим деталям и подробностям их «маленьких» жизней! Время звучания – 4 ч. 33 мин. Herman Melville. The Lightning-Rod Man Francis Bret Harte. Miggles Ambrose Bierce. The Famous Gilson Bequest Nathaniel Hawthorne. An Old Woman's Tale Washington Irving. Rip Van Winkle Mark Twain.
