Youth sport and social capital : bleachers and boardrooms
This text examines the youth sport parent experience through the lens of social capital, a cornerstone social science concept of the past 30 years. Social capital reflects the value of one's social networks, and the actual and potential benefits of relationships. Bringing together a team of kids for a season also brings together their families who all must negotiate this new social world. Within this world, relationships are bound to form, and these are the foundation upon which this project rests. Utilizing two years of fieldwork and over 30 interviews with parents and board members of a youth baseball league in the southwestern United States, this book provides an inside look at the beneficial relationships that can be found in the bleachers of a kids' baseball game, as well as the unseen, high-stakes games waged in the boardroom, where relationships can carry heavy costs as well.

Woodland Period Systematics in the Middle Ohio Valley
This collection provides a comprehensive vocabulary for
defining the cultural manifestation of the term
“Woodland” The Middle Ohio Valley is an
archaeologically rich region that stretches from southeastern
Indiana, across southern Ohio and northeastern Kentucky, and into
northwestern West Virginia. In this area are some of the most
spectacular and diverse Woodland Period archaeological sites in
North America, but these sites and their rich cultural remains do
not fit easily into the traditional Southeastern classification
system. This volume, with contributions by most of the senior
researchers in the field, represents an important step toward
establishing terminology and taxa that are more appropriate to
interpreting cultural diversity in the region. The important
questions are diverse. What criteria are useful in defining
periods and cultural types, and over what spatial and temporal
boundaries do those criteria hold? How can we accommodate
regional variation in the development and expression of traits
used to delineate periods and cultural types? How does the
concept of tradition relate to periods and cultural types? Is it
prudent to equate culture types with periods? Is it prudent to
equate archaeological cultures with ethnographic cultures? How
does the available taxonomy hinder research? Contributing authors
address these issues and others in the context of their Middle
Ohio Valley Woodland Period research
