Abstract:

Connections, both real and hoped for, between the labor movement and environmentalists have been news for at least fifteen years now. The possibility of such a connection came into wider view at the Seattle World Trade Organization protests in 1999, when alliances between trade unionists and other protest groups made headlines…. Despite the once-exciting and novel possibility being now institutionalized in such organizations as the Labor Network for Sustainability, the Blue-Green Alliance, and SustainLabour, the thrill seems to be gone for mainstream environmentalist discourse, and labor has l

Abstract:

The past 10 years have seen an explosion in the use of high speed marine craft. This explosion has been in most sectors of operation, leisure, passenger carrying and military, and is now poised to expand into the cargo carrying sector. The sizes of the new generation of fast craft can range from small 60 knot, 7 metre leisure craft up to fast ferries which are 140 metres long with speeds of 40 knots. Future developments encompass 40 knot large cargo ships, 100 knot passenger and cargo vessels and very high speed military craft. Added to this galaxy of high speed concepts is the 200 knot wing-i

Abstract:

The article explores four modes of critical social theory in the sociology of sport and leisure, and attempts to identify common ground between these, especially in relation to their treatment of gender issues. Perspectives differ not only in their concepts and explanations but also in their underlying domain assumptions. First, the Weberian/Figurational perspective taken by Rojek is considered; this approach is the least concerned with gender, although breaking new ground in other ways. Second, the article looks at the work of the neo-Marxist, Hargreaves, which does include gender and race as

This paper outlines the results of a project to develop and test an augmented reality smart phone application (‘app’) to aid the safety of navigation of leisure sailors with limited navigational skills. The app works in two modes: in the ‘turned off mode’ the app gives an alarm 30 seconds before the boat is predicted to ground. The navigator then immediately stops the boat, picks up the phone and, uses the app to view the surrounding water where NoGo areas less than 3 metres in depth are outlined in red. By panning the smart phone around, safe escape routes with deep water are visible. The pro

Abstract:

This article aims to interrogate the framing of New York’s Ground Zero as a ‘dark tourist’ destination, with particular reference to the entanglement of notions of kitsch in academic discussions of the events of 11 September 2001. What makes Ground Zero contentious, even scandalous, for many scholars is the presence of a conspicuous commodity culture around the site in the form of tourist souvenirs, leading to accusations of kitschification of memory and the constitution of visitors as ‘tourists of history’.

Abstract:

Leisure-time running is one of the most popular forms of physical activity around the world. It can be practiced almost everywhere and requires mainly a pair of “appropriate” running shoes. However, the term appropriate is ambiguous, and the properties of running footwear have always generated hot debates among clinicians, coaches, and athletes, whatever the level of practice. As the main interface between the runner's foot and the ground, the shoe potentially plays an important role in managing repetitive external mechanical loads applied to the musculoskeletal system and, thus, in injury pre

By thinking with mobilities for the moral structures they anchor in place, the ground under settler colonial feet (and skis) is unsettled. The result is that conversations about Indigenous-settler land relations become a shared responsibility to a practice of decolonization that is

The recent rise in maritime traffic volume, resulted from an increase in international marine trading volumes and the growing popularity of marine leisure activities, has increased the frequency of marine accidents.

For this reason, ground VTS centers are keeping track of criminal vessels or damaged vessels in tandem with marine police. However, the number of available studies aimed at assisting the identifi

When made visible, these assumptions can be openly tested to provide stronger support for, or perhaps meaningful refinements in, the use of challenge courses. This article: (a)
