Book Synopsis She Shoots, She Scores by : Laura Robinson
Download or read book She Shoots, She Scores written by Laura Robinson and published by Thompson Educational Publishing. This book was released on 1997 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: She Shoots, She Scores is designed for use in school, college and university physical education programs. It raises for discussion important issues surrounding women and sport today. The story of women's sport is a story of questioning everything and asking "why not?". The women and the teams described in this book dare to ask that very simple question. Women's sport challenges the male status quo in a way that is disconcerting, if not revolutionary. Women are telling the world that they belong on the playing fields, ice surfaces, race courses, and mountains of the earth and reject what thousands of years of patriarchy has tried to enforce. Increasingly, women athletes are claiming public space ß and are doing so with the strength of their bodies. Sport is about challenges; and so this book will challenge the person reading it. Why did Maclean's Magazine declare that "Canada's national virility remained in tact," after we won the silver medal at the 1992 Olympics in men's hockey. And if hockey is connected to male sperm, what does Maclean's have to say about our women's team winning the world championships (again) one month later? This book introduces the reader not only to the special nature of women's sport but also the special nature of women sport journalism. This collection of articles on women in sport and physical activity is drawn from the author's experienceas both as a sports journalist and as an athlete.

Book Synopsis Eats, Shoots & Leaves by : Lynne Truss
Download or read book Eats, Shoots & Leaves written by Lynne Truss and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2004-04-12 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We all know the basics of punctuation. Or do we? A look at most neighborhood signage tells a different story. Through sloppy usage and low standards on the internet, in email, and now text messages, we have made proper punctuation an endangered species. In Eats, Shoots & Leaves, former editor Lynne Truss dares to say, in her delightfully urbane, witty, and very English way, that it is time to look at our commas and semicolons and see them as the wonderful and necessary things they are. This is a book for people who love punctuation and get upset when it is mishandled. From the invention of the question mark in the time of Charlemagne to George Orwell shunning the semicolon, this lively history makes a powerful case for the preservation of a system of printing conventions that is much too subtle to be mucked about with.

Download or read book Crashing the Net written by Mary Turco and published by Harper. This book was released on 1999-03-24 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As little girls, they fell in love with a sport that many of them were told girls could not play: ice hockey. Unwilling to take no for an answer, they tied back their hair, adopted boys' nicknames, borrowed their brothers' equipment, and set out to prove otherwise. In Crashing the Net Mary Turco tells the remarkable story of the first U.S. Women's Olympic Ice Hockey Team and their unforgettable journey to becoming gold medal winners at the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano, Japan. Turco followed this dream team for many months as they trained in practice arenas and tournaments across the United States and Canada in anticipation of Nagano. In a lively narrative filled with intimate details of pregame locker room tensions, the Olympic team selection process, the drama of the battles on ice, and the personal friendships that were made along the way, Turco provides an inspirational behind-the-scenes look at how this team came to glory. We meet a wonderful cast of characters: twenty high-achieving, defiant female athletes, both seasoned players and enthusiastic rookies; their coach, a mythical figure in men's ice hockey who treated his players as world-class athletes; and the players' families and friends, who encouraged these girls to follow their dreams, challenge prejudice against contact sports for women, and risk everything in crashing the net. Looking up in the stands at Nagano during their victory ceremony, the women of Team USA could see hundreds of fans waving congratulatory banners. One of them read, "Girls Can Do Anything." Crashing the Net and this special team bring this important message to life.
