Say Hello to the Bad Guys: How Professional Wrestling's New World Order Changed America
by Marc RaimondiFrom ESPN reporter Marc Raimondi comes a compelling, gripping narrative history of professional wrestling&’s legendary faction, The NWO (New World Order), from their inception in 1996 to their influence on American pop culture today. In 1996, professional wrestling was one of the most watched sports on cable television, with more than 5 million people tuning in every week. And in the late 1990s, pro-wrestling was the hottest thing in American pop culture, with companies making millions in action figures, video games, and simple black t-shirts emblazoned with three little letters: NWO. The NWO, or New World Order, became a business like no other, and was responsible for the explosive ratings and rabid fanbase. It started with an ingenious storyline starring Scott Hall, Kevin Nash, and the titular Hollywood Hogan—Hulk Hogan gone bad. Together, they formed a new era of characters to root for: The Bad Guys. Never before had audiences cheered for the villains, rooting for them over the heroes. The NWO broke down wrestling&’s fourth wall in a clever new way, blurring the lines between fiction and reality. And suddenly, watching professional wrestling not only became socially acceptable, but a necessity if you wanted to stay up to date with pop culture. Their impact was infectious and long-lasting. It was entertainment that shaped a generation. Written by Marc Raimondi, a current ESPN reporter with nearly twenty years of experience in journalism, this narrative history explores professional wrestling&’s most popular faction and how their existence influenced American culture like never before.
Say Her Name: Centering Black Feminism and Black Women in Sport (Critical Issues in Sport and Society)
by Letisha Engracia BrownSay Her Name: Centering Black Feminism and Black Women in Sports offers an in-depth look into the lived experiences of Blackgirlwomen as athletes, activists, and everyday people through a Black feminist lens. With so much research on race centered on Black men and gender research focusing on white women, Say Her Name offers a necessary conversation that places Blackgirlwomen at the center of discussion. Say Her Name delves deeply into issues of gender, the politics of punishment, athlete activism, the politics of Black hair, fingernails and fashion, and the representation and commodification of Blackgirlwomen in sport and society. An entry point into the growing research in sport studies and beyond from a Black feminist lens, Say Her Name offers a clear window into the power and potential of nuanced examinations of sport. As a reflection of the larger social world, sport provides a framework for understanding larger social issues, including racism, sexism, and misogynoir. Blackgirlwomen have varied experiences in sport, and Say Her Name provides a window into those experiences. The book discusses Black women in sports including the South African runner Caster Semenya and the American runners Florence Griffith Joyner and Sha’Carri Richardson, as well as Venus and Serena Williams, Gabby Douglas, and Simone Biles. The women in this book have lived experiences that speak to the larger experiences of Black women and girls in sport and society, while also leaning into a larger discussion of the importance of the social movement #SayHerName.

Rachaël Draaisma has always lived with and had a passion for dogs and horses. In 2002, she decided to make it her profession.

In diesem Buch wird je nach notwendiger Indikation die gesamte nicht pharmakologische Therapiekette der möglichen Interventionen vorgestellt. Es werden dabei sowohl passiv provozierte funktionell begründete Maßnahmen zur Aktivierung der Schmerzhemmmechanismen und der Durchblutungsförderung zur Verbesserung der Gewebeverhältnisse als Grundlage nozizeptiver Informationen beschrieben, als auch aktive Methoden, z.B. das antinozizeptive endgradige Beweglichkeitstraining von Gelenkregionen und andere aktive Belastungsinterventionen mit dem Ziel, eine strukturelle und funktionelle anti-nozizeptive Reorganisation auszulösen.
