  Portugal and Slovakia in...

  This book is a contribution to European comparative history involving Portugal and Slovakia, but also the larger geographic units of Iberia and Slavic Central Europe. While developments in Portugal and Slovakia predominate, Spain, the Czech lands, and other regions are discussed as well. The subjects investigated include the position of women and the activities of messianic thinkers in the seventeenth century as well as semi-fascist Catholic political movements in the twentieth century. The authors look at the subject matter from the viewpoint of politics, social phenomena, and culture. The cultural dimension includes religion and ideology, both of which have clearly been of critical importance in Portuguese and Slovak history. It also includes problems of ethno-linguistic and national identity and the more recent phenomenon of multiculturalism, whose social promotion is controversial and uncertain.
  
  
  
  This comparative study by Zuzana Poláčková and Peter C. van Duin, a collection of essays, is a revelation, especially for students of European authoritarian and totalitarian regimes, and, furthermore, anybody interested in European history."
  
  —Josette Baer, Professor, UZH University of Zurich
  
  
  
  This book gives proof to Cicero’s dictum: "Historia magistra vitae est"—without knowledge of the past we cannot build a sustainable future. Thanks to the authors for this great contribution to knowledge!"
  
  —Lucia Mokrá, Professor of International Law, Comenius University, Bratislava
  
  
  
  This collection of essays provides not only fascinating insights into the political workings of these two small states, but of the workings of politics in the larger Iberian / Slavic context. Highly recommended."
  
  —Dr. David Reichardt, International Relations, Webster University, Saint-Louis, Missouri 
  
  
  
  A very important contribution to the study of the comparative history of Europe, and therefore I fully recommend its publication."

  Playing through Pain - The...

  Daniel Sailofsky

  For many fans and casual observers, professional sports and violence are deeply connected. Violence on the field has real consequences for players, notably in the form of life-altering injuries from concussions. Off the field, in the last several decades, scores of athletes have committed violent acts, from domestic abuse and sexual assault to animal abuse and murder. Beyond athletes, sport also serves as a site of political and structural violence, from the displacement and hyperpolicing of everyday people for mega-events to the "sportswashing" of environmentally harmful industries. 
   
   
   
  Daniel Sailofsky examines the endemic violence in professional sports and argues that—while related to masculinity, misogyny, and individual factors like alcohol consumption and gambling—it is most intimately tied to capitalism and to capitalist modes of consumption and profit. Sailofsky explains how capitalism creates the conditions for violence to thrive and uncovers how sports leaders—coaches, league officials, and team owners—obfuscate these relationships to avoid accountability. 
   
   
   
  From minor league baseball exploitation to spectator hooliganism, Sailofsky shows the connections between the business of sports and violence, but also, more importantly, he imagines new forms of sport that are not places of harm.

  Clandestine Cabals - History's...

  Throughout history, secret societies have captivated the human imagination, their names whispered in shadowy corners, their rituals shrouded in secrecy. These clandestine groups, often operating in the hidden recesses of society, have been associated with the most significant events in world history, from political upheavals to revolutions. Despite the efforts of many to uncover their mysteries, much of what we know about them remains speculative, fueling a fascination that spans generations. But what drives this intrigue? Is it the promise of power, knowledge, or the allure of forbidden truths that draws people to these societies? 
  Secret societies are as old as civilization itself. From the ancient mystery schools of Egypt and Greece to the modern-day shadow organizations influencing global events, these groups have often been at the forefront of societal change, albeit behind the scenes. They are typically defined by their closed membership, strict initiation rites, and exclusive access to knowledge or practices that the outside world is not privy to. This secrecy has often been a point of both fascination and suspicion. Some view these societies as forces of good, safeguarding wisdom or advancing human progress, while others see them as dark, insidious entities working behind closed doors to manipulate world events for their own gain. 
  The historical roots of these secret organizations stretch back to times when religious, political, or philosophical beliefs were closely guarded. Ancient societies, such as the Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans, established mystery schools where knowledge was passed down only to those deemed worthy. These teachings often involved esoteric wisdom, such as alchemy, astrology, or sacred geometry, and were believed to hold the key to unlocking hidden truths about the universe and humanity's place within it.
