Описание: The project From Central Space to Urban Place was undertaken from 2017 to 2021. It had its point of departure in a new approach to the study of early urbanisation in southern Scandinavia, in which the analyses were broadened out in time and space, compared to those of previous studies, and involved the participation of experts from a range of different disciplines. As a result, the towns were viewed relative to their hinterland in the time before, during and after their establishment. The primary outcome of the research element of the project is this anthology. It comprises a series of articles that can be read and understood independently, but which are also linked together in a series of contributions, which all address the same overall aims and objectives and contribute to the resulting synthesis. The projects many topics and results have been presented by its participants in professional fora, both at home and abroad, during the project period.

Fueled by the support of her family, friendships with other competitors and guidance from a surrogate father figure, Nicole would ride her positive attitude and passion for tennis to achievements she had only dreamed about."This book reinforces the need to believe in yourself and proves that in life, one must learn to adapt and play the ball regardless of the direction it bounces. Sport lovers of all ages will enjoy this book." - David C. Rogers - Tennis Professional, SportMinder Enterprises LLC

Описание: The year was 1963, and little Dodgeville High School captured the state of Wisconsin's imagination with an improbable run to the state championship game under Coach John "Weenie" Wilson. The hard-driving coach was on a mission to nurture and build a class of champions, building on his own background of being a highly accomplished athlete and motivator.Wilson took a group of gifted and dedicated student-athletes, indoctrinated with small-town values, and put them on a course that lifted the Dodgeville basketball program to undreamed-of heights. In an era when every school in Wisconsin competed in a single division, Dodgeville - with just 400 students - found itself matched up against schools more than four times its size as it made its state tournament run.Dodgeville would come up one victory short of the title in 1963, taking home the silver ball for the school's trophy case. However, Wilson and his players had no intention of being a one-hit wonder, and when the 1963-64 basketball season began, they had only one goal in mind: getting that gold ball.The Dodgers cruised through the regular season unbeaten and incredibly found themselves as one of the tournament favorites when they returned to Madison for the state finals. This time, against a vaunted Milwaukee North squad, the Dodgers would not be denied. Wisconsin had its own, real version of the Hoosiers story, and the Dodgeville Dodgers of 1964 had staked their claim to history.

Описание: By the early 1900s, the poor farm had become a ubiquitous part of America's social welfare system. Megan Birk's history of this foundational but forgotten institution focuses on the connection between agriculture, provisions for the disadvantaged, and the daily realities of life at poor farms. Conceived as an inexpensive way to provide care for the indigent, poor farms in fact attracted wards that ranged from abused wives and the elderly to orphans, the disabled, and disaster victims. Most people arrived unable rather than unwilling to work, some because of physical problems, others due to a lack of skills or because a changing labor market had left them behind. Birk blends the personal stories of participants with institutional histories to reveal a loose-knit system that provided a measure of care to everyone without an overarching philosophy of reform or rehabilitation.
In-depth and innovative, The Fundamental Institution offers an overdue portrait of rural social welfare in the United States.
