Описание:
-The Bible tells us that believers are transformed by the renewing of their minds. Another way of putting this is ... taking into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. This means learning how to think of all of life, including sport, from a biblical perspective. Michael Fessler's book is drenched in Christian worldview. Those who wrestle with its truths will be richer for it. I wish that I had been able to drink from its wisdom as a young man but am grateful to be able to do so as an old(er) one.-
--Jack Spates, MDiv, Baptist Bible College & Seminary and
former head wrestling coach at Oklahoma University
-My belief has always been that wrestling is a microcosm of life. Most of the things that we are going to experience in life are going to be experienced in a wrestling career. Michael does an excellent job in paralleling the relationship between faith and wrestling. His book expresses the importance of developing the total athlete--spiritually, physically, emotionally, and socially. I look forward to the day when people (including wrestlers) from 'every nation, tribe, people and language' will gather to worship our God. (Revelation 7:9, 11).-
--Gene Davis, director of wrestling at Athletes in Action and
bronze medalist in the 1976 Olympic Games
-Michael Fessler concisely captures the heart of a Christian wrestler pursuing God's glory. The book is captivating in combining biblical truths with real-life stories. You will be encouraged and inspired to think about the gospel as greater than athletic glory as Fessler explains the biblical basis for competing. Just as Fessler's approach to use wrestling as a tool for the gospel, we at Athletes in Action use the sport of wrestling to share the gospel around the world. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is passionate about their faith and the sport of wrestling.-
--Rob Bronson, International Wrestling Team coordinator at Athletes in Action
Описание: Horseback wrestling, catch-as-catch-can, glima; long before the advent of today's WWE, forms of wrestling were practised by virtually every cultural group. C. Nathan Hatton's ""Thrashing Seasons"" tells the story of wrestling in Manitoba from its earliest documented origins in the eighteenth century, to the Great Depression.Wrestling was never merely a sport: residents of Manitoba found meaning beyond the simple act of two people struggling for physical advantage on a mat, in a ring, or on a grassy field. Frequently controversial and often divisive, wrestling was nevertheless a popular and resilient cultural practice that proved adaptable to the rapidly changing social conditions in westernCanada during its early boom period. In addition to chronicling the colourful exploits of the many athletes who shaped wrestling's early years, Hatton explores wrestling as a social phenomenon intimately bound up with debates around respectability, ethnicity, race, class, and idealized conceptions of masculinity. In doing so, ""Thrashing Seasons"" illuminates wrestling as a complex and socially significantcultural activity, one that has been virtually unexamined by Canadian historians looking at the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
Satisfy your passions for female combat and nostalgia with this collection of rarely seen photos of bare-breasted wrestling women from the 1940s and '50s. Blood, sweat, tears, and plenty of writhing. Punch, bam, body-slam, she hits the mat, as she gets put on her back

Описание:
This authoritative work on the history and culture of professional wrestling features the biggest names in the wrestling world since the sport emerged on the American sporting landscape. It comprises short biographies of all of the key players in the sport's evolution and rise to popularity--from old-timers to barrier breakers to household names such as Hulk Hogan, The Rock, Andre the Giant, and more--and includes not only men but also many women who have made a name in the sport.
Surveying professional wrestling from its roots, dating centuries, to the modern era, pre-20th century and into the 21st century, the work tells the transformational stories of prominent wrestlers and the sport as a whole, in many cases bringing out the humor and outrageousness in the nature of an activity that has always straddled the line between show business and sport.

In Fighting for Recognition, R. Tyson Smith enters the world of independent professional wrestling, a community-based entertainment staged in community centers, high school gyms, and other modest venues. Like the big-name, televised pro wrestlers who originally inspired them, indie wrestlers engage in choreographed fights in character. Smith details the experiences, meanings, and motivations of the young men who wrestle as "Lethal" or "Southern Bad Boy," despite receiving little to no pay and risking the possibility of serious and sometimes permanent injury. Exploring intertwined issues of gender, class, violence, and the body, he sheds new light on the changing sources of identity in a postindustrial society that increasingly features low wages, insecure employment, and fragmented social support. Smith uncovers the tensions between strength and vulnerability, pain and solidarity, and homophobia and homoeroticism that play out both backstage and in the ring as the wrestlers seek recognition from fellow performers and devoted fans.
