Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Figure skating is the most popular televised sport at the Olympic Winter Games and is the oldest of the winter sports, having first been contested at the Games of the fourth Olympiad in London in 1908. No other sport creates such a perfect balance between athleticism and artistry, and the athletes—many of them household names like Oksana Baiul, Brian Boitano, Nancy Kerrigan, Evan Lysacek, Katarina Witt, and Kristi Yamaguchi—spend years in training to make it look effortless. The Historical Dictionary of Figure Skating relates the history of the sport through a chronology, an introductory essay, an extensive bibliography, appendixes, and over 800 cross-referenced dictionary entries on hundreds of skaters, past and present, but also on skating countries, governing bodies, skating disciplines, technical elements, skating styles, and many other subjects. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about the history of figure skating.

Download or read book The Encyclopedia of New York State written by Peter Eisenstadt and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 2005-05-19 with total page 1960 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Encyclopedia of New York State is one of the most complete works on the Empire State to be published in a half-century. In nearly 2,000 pages and 4,000 signed entries, this single volume captures the impressive complexity of New York State as a historic crossroads of people and ideas, as a cradle of abolitionism and feminism, and as an apex of modern urban, suburban, and rural life. The Encyclopedia is packed with fascinating details from fields ranging from sociology and geography to history. Did you know that Manhattan's Lower East Side was once the most populated neighborhood in the world, but Hamilton County in the Adirondacks is the least densely populated county east of the Mississippi; New York is the only state to border both the Great Lakes and the Atlantic Ocean; the Erie Canal opened New York City to rich farmland upstate . . . and to the west. Entries by experts chronicle New York's varied areas, politics, and persuasions with a cornucopia of subjects from environmentalism to higher education to railroads, weaving the state's diverse regions and peoples into one idea of New York State. Lavishly illustrated with 500 photographs and figures, 120 maps, and 140 tables, the Encyclopedia is key to understanding the state's past, present, and future. It is a crucial reference for students, teachers, historians, and business people, for New Yorkers of all persuasions, and for anyone interested in finding out more about New York State.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1898 edition. Excerpt: ...in time with the caller, and of nothing else. NotaBenc. To recapitulate--let every other skater in a combined figure, not being a member of the first pair, remember (i) that his first and most important duty is to watch the caller; (2) that his next most important duty is to watch all the other skaters, so that he skates in such relationship to them and to the caller, that the general symmetry or "squareness" of the figure is maintained (see Fig. 27); (3) that his last and least important duty is to keep time with his partner, never skating opposite to him unless the latter is skating in his proper position as regards the other skaters, i.e. is keeping "square" with the others in accordance with Fig. 27. Other typical calls belonging to sub-division (a) of Group 1 must next be considered. Inside Twice Back--and Inside Forward.--This is a very difficult call, and is mentioned here because the terms used must be understood, and because it is the counterpart of " twice back--and forward," the skaters starting with the inside, instead of the outside edge forwards. An inside forward three is first skated, and that this should be taken gracefully, it is better (although not essential) that the skaters should approach the centre on either the inside edge forwards or outside edge backwards. The caller would, therefore, have first to give a call which would bring up the skater on one of these edges. The inside forward turn must be started to the right of the centre, if the skater is on the right foot, and when it is completed, the left foot must be put down on the inside edge backwards, and this stroke can only be made gracefully if the foot is placed exactly behind its fellow. The succeeding stroke on to the second...
