Book excerpt: Would your nice guy cheat if he had the chance? If he cheats once, will he do it again? Don't get stuck in a 'Tiger Woods Syndrome.' Learn the signs of a doomed relationship—before it's too late. Women worry that 'Mr. Wonderful,' be he a husband or boyfriend, is secretly cheating on them. It's an epidemic sweeping the nation. Paranoid? Maybe not. Today's ill-fated relationships often display a common pattern now known as 'The Tiger Woods Syndrome,' a relationship built on lies—a mirage. And unfortunately, these doomed relationships are growing exponentially. What can women do to prevent our own 'Tiger Woods Syndrome' from blowing up in our faces? It's time to face facts. In The Tiger Woods Syndrome, psychiatrist Dr. J. R. Bruns and Dr. R.A. Richards culminate a four-year examination of the common pattern of today's relationships to unearth why couples are uncoupling at such an unprecedented rate. The authors take an eye-opening look at the five-stage pattern of a 'mirage man' that begins with artificial intimacy (where physical attraction and charm is emphasized over compatibility) and explodes in the fifth stage, where both partners realize that the reasons they came together in the first place were lies. In the end, the deceptive relationship results in two bitterly disappointed partners—or in the case of Tiger Woods, it ends up on the eleven o'clock news. Real, lasting relationships just don't work this way. The Tiger Woods Syndrome is replete with honest assessments, personal quizzes, an examination of relationships of days gone past, and real tips for healing a mirage relationship should you already be in one. This enlightening and in-depth guide exists to help break the pattern of men who cheat. The Tiger Woods Syndrome marks the beginning of an awakening of America. Shaky relationships built on dishonesty must not be accepted as the norm. It's time to take that first step toward a relationship that is built on something that withstands the test of time: integrity.
Book Synopsis The Tiger Woods Phenomenon by : Donna J. Barbie
Download or read book The Tiger Woods Phenomenon written by Donna J. Barbie and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-01-10 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays in this book arise from the premise that Tiger Woods is not simply a phenomenal player but is also an Everyman who has displayed all-too-human foibles and weaknesses. The first half of the collection focuses on Tiger's superman game and how he has affected, and been affected by, the golfing world. Works on the sport that examine this supreme golfer cannot capture the full significance of the Tiger Woods phenomenon, however. Unlike many other talented athletes, Woods has transcended his sport, becoming a cultural icon. In the second half of the book, scholars examine everyman Tiger, illustrating how his life reflects significant and often contentious issues within American culture and the world.
Book Synopsis Tiger Woods by : Lawrence J. Londino
Download or read book Tiger Woods written by Lawrence J. Londino and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2010-05-20 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive biography of Tiger Woods looks at where he came from, his sports accomplishments and philanthropic efforts, and the effect he has had on sports history, marketing, and broadcasting. Tiger Woods: A Biography, Second Edition updates the 2005 edition to examine the life and career of this phenomenal athlete through the 2009 PGA Championship. The book provides information about Woods's parents and his upbringing, early life, and outstanding accomplishments as a professional golfer. It also covers Tiger's philanthropic activities including the Tiger Woods Foundation, a global organization that provides innovative educational opportunities to youth, the Tiger Woods Learning Center, and the Earl Woods Scholarship Program established to honor the spirit and vision of Tiger's father. Recognizing that the opportunities Woods has had were hard won by early African American golfers—who were denied the right to play on the PGA Tour until 1961—the book also includes a chapter on these pioneers. The volume is rounded out with a brief history of broadcasting and sports, as well as a look at the relationship between athletes and sponsors.
Download or read book New Day Begun written by R. Drew Smith and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2003-07-02 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New Day Begun presents the findings of the first major research project on black churches’ civic involvement since C. Eric Lincoln and Lawrence H. Mamiya’s landmark study The Black Church in the African American Experience. Since the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the 1965 Voting Rights Act, the scale and scope of African American churches’ civic involvement have changed significantly: the number of African American clergy serving in elective and appointive offices has noticeably increased, as have joint efforts by black churches and government agencies to implement policies and programs. Filling a vacuum in knowledge about these important developments, New Day Begun assesses the social, political, and ecclesiastical factors that have shaped black church responses to American civic and political life since the Civil Rights movement. This collection of essays analyzes the results of an unprecedented survey of nearly 2,000 African American churches across the country conducted by The Public Influences of African-American Churches Project, which is based at Morehouse College in Atlanta. These essays—by political scientists, theologians, ethicists, and others—draw on the survey findings to analyze the social, historical, and institutional contexts of black church activism and to consider the theological and moral imperatives that have shaped black church approaches to civic life—including black civil religion and womanist and afrocentric critiques. They also look at a host of faith-based initiatives addressing economic development and the provision of social services. New Day Begun presents necessary new interpretations of how black churches have changed—and been changed by—contemporary American political culture. Contributors.

Book Synopsis Mighty Like a River by : Andrew Billingsley
Download or read book Mighty Like a River written by Andrew Billingsley and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1999-06-24 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the history of the African American people there has been no stronger resource for overcoming adversity than the black church. From its role in leading a group of free Blacks to form a colony in Sierra Leone in the 1790s to helping ex-slaves after the Civil War, and from playing major roles in the Civil Rights Movement to offering community outreach programs in American cities today, black churches have been the focal point of social change in their communities. Based on extensive research over several years, Mighty Like a River is the first comprehensive account of how black churches have helped shape American society. An expert in African American culture, Andrew Billingsley surveys nearly a thousand black churches across the country, including its oldest, the First African Baptist Church in Savannah, Georgia. These black churches, whose roots extend back to antebellum times, have periodically confronted social, economic, and political problems facing the African American community. Mighty Like a River addresses such questions as: How widespread and effective is the community activity of black churches? What are the patterns of activities being undertaken today? How do activist churches confront such problems as family instability, youth development, AIDS and other health issues, and care for the elderly? With profiles of the remarkable black heroes and heroines who helped create the activist church, and a compelling agenda for expanding the black church's role in society at large, Mighty Like a River is an inspirational, visionary, and definitive account of the subject.

Book Synopsis The Game Is Not a Game by : Robert Scoop Jackson
Download or read book The Game Is Not a Game written by Robert Scoop Jackson and published by Haymarket Books. This book was released on 2020-03-03 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study of “the hypocrisy of the game, capitalism, activism (a la Kaepernick), disrespect to female athletes, and who benefits from sports the most” (Electric Lit). Part play-by-play, part op-ed, The Game Is Not a Game is an illuminating and unflinching examination of the good and evil in the sports industry. Liberating and provocative, with sharp wit and generous humor, Jackson’s essays explore the role that sports plays in American society and the hypocritical standards by which the athletes are often judged. The Game Is Not a Game is distinctly intended to challenge accepted ideology and to push the boundaries of mainstream sports media beyond the comfort zone. Chapters expose “Our Miseducation of LeBron James,” “#ThemToo: The UnRespected Worth of the Woman Athlete,” the duplicity of the NFL in its treatment of Colin Kaepernick and the anthem protests, the cultural bias of analytics, and the power of social activism versus the power and politics of professional sports ownership—all from the sharp, savvy, and self-critical perspective of one of the leading voices for social justice in sports media. “Bristles with bracing and brutal insights that take no tea for the fever and offer no discount on truth or justice . . . an instant classic that reckons with the factors that make sports possible, and at the same time wrestles with the forces that make protest in sports necessary. The Game Is Not a Game is intersectional cultural analysis at its best!” —Michael Eric Dyson, New York Times bestselling author “Jackson’s work is not about scores; rather, he stresses that sports are a self-contained microcosm of society at large. A thought-provoking, unfailingly insightful book.” —Booklist

Book Synopsis The Tyranny of Choice by : Renata Salecl
Download or read book The Tyranny of Choice written by Renata Salecl and published by Profile Books. This book was released on 2011-08-04 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are encouraged from all sides to view our lives as being full of choices. Like the products on a supermarket shelf, our careers, our relationships, our bodies, our very identities seem to be there for the choosing. But paradoxically this seeming freedom to choose can create extreme anxiety, and feelings of inadequacy and guilt. The Tyranny of Choice explores how late capitalism's shrill exhortations to 'be oneself' can be a tyranny which only leads to ever-greater disquiet and how insistence on choice being a purely individual matter prevents social change. With wisdom, humour and sensitivity, Renata Salecl examines the complexity of the essential human capacity to choose which has become mired in consumerist ironies.
