Immune Reboot: Your Guide to Maximizing Immunity, Restoring Gut Health, and Optimizing Vitality

‘When former footballer player Alan Hudson titled his autobiography ‘The Working Man’s Ballet’, he interestingly challenged long-held intellectual prejudices that exclude sports from being regarded as akin to other forms of culture. But in prompting this reconsideration, his title highlighted the gendered history of association football (soccer) in which its appreciative audience is presumed to be constituted only of men. Stacey Pope’s ground-breaking scholarship attempts to ‘settle the account’ of this history by giving women their voice as fans, which has been largely neglected and, therefore, effectively silenced. Importantly, her approach, drawing on theories of intersectionality, examines female fandom in regard to the interrelations of gender, class, sexuality and regional identity. The Feminization of Sports Fandom is a book of interest not only to the academic field of sports studies, but also to scholars and students in areas such as sociology, cultural studies and the history of popular culture.’ – John Hughson, Professor of Sport and Cultural Studies and Director of the International Football Institute, University of Central Lancashire, UK
'Stacey Pope’s groundbreaking monograph, The Feminization of Sports Fandom, is a timely contribution, and provides an important and valuable extension to our understanding of fandom ... Its accessible format and interdisciplinary approach – foci on gender inequality, sport’s class divide and the impact of globalization on professional sport – mean that it will be of significant interest to social scientists, particularly those with an interest in gender studies.' - Rory Magrath, Southampton Solent University, International Review for the Sociology of Sport
'This book provides an extensive socio-historical exploration of female sports fans and fills a gap in the area of fan research. The book is relevant for scholars and students alike. Pope has provided ideas which it is hoped will be tested and extended and build upon this excellent piece of research.' - Alex Colvin, University of Central Lancashire, Leisure Studies

"In Creating Built Environments, Lawrence presents a lucid, authoritative and comprehensive narrative on the co-creation of urban environments within which humans might flourish. Balancing systems-based transdisciplinary frameworks with applied empirical examples, the work is a compelling evidence-based argument for the imperative of transforming approaches to urban design for just and sustainable futures". ⁠—Dr Robert Dyball, Australian National University, Past President of the Society for Human Ecology (SHE), Australia

"Roderick Lawrence takes us on a journey from philosophical foundations to contemporary inter- and trans-disciplinary approaches of the planning of the future of the urban built environement, the place where the majority of humans live. He offers food for thought for urban planning involving all actors in a participatory way". —Jakob Zinsstag, President TD-net, Swiss Academies of Sciences, Switzerland

"Our health is inextricably entwined with our environment, and yet we continue to devolve responsibility to the confines of biomedical care. This work on urban development is a stark demonstration of the inter- and trans-disciplinary approaches across both the Global South and North necessary for a holistic, just, and sustainable approach toward health and wellbeing". —Dr Pascale Allotey, Director of the United Nations University International Institute for Global Health (UNU-IIGH)　
"Sometimes a book is perfectly timed, and this is one of them. The sun is setting on a scientific era defined by disciplinary silos. We need to fix the way built environments are planned. This book explains how researchers and practitioners can work together to be joint agents of change". —Dr Tony Craig, The James Hutton Institute, President of the International Association of People-Environment Studies (IAPS)

"The challenges of health and well-being in urban environments, for people and the planet, emerge from social, technological and ecological systems which are complex. Solving them requires overcoming the barriers of thinking and working together. In his book, Roderick Lawrence makes important contributions to bridging barriers and tackling those challenges". —Dr Franz W. Gatzweiler, Professor, Executive Director of Urban Health and Well-Being: A Systems Approach,a global interdisciplinary programme of the International Science Council 

"This book is timely, aimed at a very broad readership, comprehensive in its coverage and provides optimism and realism in confronting the global and local challenges and the geopolitics we now face. I positively endorse its approach and message". —Colin Fudge, Professor of Urban Futures and Design, Chalmers University, Sweden

"Lee and Chan's book represents the most serious and comprehensive scholarly effort to analyze the July 1, 2003 mass protest and its implications to date. It is a masterpiece that integrates traditional qualitative methods, like media discourse analysis, elite and focus group interviewing, with rigorous quantitative analysis." - Olivia Cheung (St. Anthony's College, University Of Oxford); St Antony's International Review 2013.
"In short, this book sheds light on the political culture of Hong Kong in its struggle for democracy and makes a significant contribution to the literature of media politics and social movements. What is particularly valuable is the rich longitudinal data collected from 2003 to 2008 through population and protest onsite surveys, media content analysis, and in-depth interviews with activists, politicians, and protestors. Scholars of social movements will find this book both inspiring and informative." - Wai-chi Chee, PhD, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Journal of International and Global Studies

'From "American Idol" to Weird Al Yankovic, from Japanese enka to mash-ups, Play it Again reveals the many layers of connection to be found in our increasingly recombinant media culture. The fifteen essays in this collection invite us to consider just how prevalent the act of covering is”far beyond its usual association with "copying someone else's song." Indeed, whether as apprenticeship, as tribute, or as sabotage, the phenomenon of covers have penetrated film, television, and the advertising world. Together, the essays in this collection suggest a number of new avenues of inquiry for popular music studies.' Kevin Holm-Hudson, University of Kentucky, USA  ’It is timely that cover songs should be treated with scholarly respect. ...Play it Again: Cover Songs in Popular Music deserves a strong readership from undergraduate and postgraduate courses in popular music and popular cultural studies.’  Times Higher Education  ’Recommended.’ Choice
