In this vivid ethnography, based on almost 200 interviews with parents, children, coaches and teachers, Hilary Levey probes the increase in children's participation in activities outside of the home, structured and monitored by their parents, when family time is so scarce. As the parental "second shift" continues to grow, alongside it a second shift for children has emerged--especially among the middle- and upper-middle classes--which is suffused with competition rather than mere participation. What motivates these particular parents to get their children involved in competitive activities? Parents' primary concern is their children's access to high quality educational credentials--the biggest bottleneck standing in the way of, or facilitating entry into, membership in the upper-middle class. Competitive activities, like sports and the arts, are seen as the essential proving ground that will clear their children's paths to the Ivy League or other similar institutions by helping them to develop a competitive habitus. This belief, motivated both by reality and by perception, and shaped by gender and class, affects how parents envision their children's futures; it also shapes the structure of children's daily lives, what the children themselves think about their lives, and the competitive landscapes of the activities themselves"--Provided by publisher.Competition (Psychology) in childrenStudent activitiesAfter-school programsSports for childrenParentingChild developmentElectronic books.Competition (Psychology) in children.Student activities.After-school programs.Sports for children.Parenting.Child development.306.874Friedman Hilary Levey1980-1039195MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910452161203321Playing to win2461250UNINA02430nam 2200577Ia 450 991045088090332120200520144314.01-280-83335-10-19-535102-9(CKB)1000000000407824(EBL)272603(OCoLC)476011632(SSID)ssj0000236743(PQKBManifestationID)11188082(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000236743(PQKBWorkID)10189583(PQKB)11228140(MiAaPQ)EBC272603(Au-PeEL)EBL272603(CaPaEBR)ebr10269143(CaONFJC)MIL83335(OCoLC)252663580(EXLCZ)99100000000040782420010206d2000 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrResisting Hitler[electronic resource] Mildred Harnack and the Red Orchestra /Shareen Blair BrysacNew York Oxford University Press20001 online resource (513 p.)"The life and death of an American woman in Nazi Germany".0-19-513269-6 Includes bibliographical references and index.Contents; Preface; 1 Plötzensee; 2 Transfiguration; 3 Chum; 4 Nonconformist; 5 A Radical Marriage; 6 Scholar; 7 Comrade; 8 Pilgrim; 9 Hostess; 10 Literary Figure; 11 Stranger; 12 Resister; 13 Spy?; 14 Prey; 15 The Woman in Cell 25; 16 Stalingrad's Scapegoat; 17 Epilogue; Postscript; Glossary and Abbreviations; Notes; Archives Consulted; Bibliography; Acknowledgments; IndexAn account of an American woman who gave her life in the struggle against the Nazi regime.

Bibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph0-12-800074-0 Includes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters and index.Rarely covered in formal engineering courses, natural gas hydrates are a common problem and real-life danger for engineers worldwide. Updated and more practical than ever, Natural Gas Hydrates, Third Edition helps managers and engineers get up to speed on all the most common hydrate types, how to forecast when they will appear, and safely mitigate their removal. Known for being highly flammable, gas hydrates are a preventable threat that can costs millions of dollars in damage, as well as take the lives of workers and engineers on the rig. The third edition of Natural Gas Hydrates is enhanced with today’s more complex yet practical utilization needs including: New hydrate types and formers, including mercaptans and other sulfur compounds Vital information on how to handle hydrate formation in the wellbore, useful information in light of the Macondo explosion and resulting oil spill More detailed phase diagrams, such as ternary systems, as well as more relevant multicomponent mixtures Quantifiably measure the conditions that make hydrates possible and mitigate the right equipment correctly Predict and examine the conditions at which hydrates form with simple and complex calculation exercises Gain knowledge and review lessons learned from new real-world case studies and examples, covering capital costs, dehydration, and new computer methodsNatural gasHydratesHydratesAnalysisNatural gasHydrates.HydratesAnalysis.665.7Carroll John J.1958-1615099MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910811713703321Natural gas hydrates3981340UNINA03206nam 2200649 450 991081127760332120230327051227.01-4426-0702-51-4426-0701-710.3138/9781442607019(CKB)3710000000096524(EBL)3290288(SSID)ssj0001131298(PQKBManifestationID)12483099(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001131298(PQKBWorkID)11143430(PQKB)10649677(CEL)446859(OCoLC)868488192(CaBNVSL)slc00233781(MiAaPQ)EBC3290288(MiAaPQ)EBC4931330(DE-B1597)626539(DE-B1597)9781442607019(OCoLC)1373820391(MdBmJHUP)musev2_106472(EXLCZ)99371000000009652420170824h20132013 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrComparing political regimes a thematic introduction to comparative politics /Alan SiaroffThird edition.North York, Ontario ;Tonawanda, New York :University of Toronto Press,2013.©20131 online resource (361 p.)1-4426-0700-9 1-4426-0767-X Includes bibliographical references and index.1.
