Percepción de la Calidad y Fidelidad en servicios deportivos privados
Actualmente las instituciones deportivas se enfrentan a nuevos retos, que los impulsan a realizar cambios constantes con la finalidad de introducirse y posicionarse como instituciones competitivas del sector deportivo privado, al mismo tiempo que buscan nuevos enfoques para atraer la atención de antiguos y nuevos consumidores orientados en perspectivas como; la calidad y la fidelidad, por lo cual, el objetivo de este estudio es analizar la percepción de la calidad y fidelidad en instituciones deportivas privadas respecto a la edad, género y tiempo de permanencia de los usuarios. Para dicho análisis se recabó una muestra de 347 voluntarios, pertenecientes a tres clubes deportivos privados (108 mujeres y 239 hombres), a la cual se le realizaron análisis de fiabilidad descriptivos y comparativos. Los resultados en las variables de calidad y fidelidad muestran diferencias significativas con respecto a la edad y género de los consumidores, contrario a lo obtenido en el tiempo de permanencia, donde los resultados no muestran una diferencia importante.

Behind closed doors : the secret life of London private members' clubs
With a keen eye for the juicy anecdote, Thévoz tells the fascinating and entertaining story of the rise, decline and resurgence of London's private members' clubs, from the late-eighteenth century to the present day. In doing so he looks at cultural and political developments beyond the clubs, revealing how while the clubs may have been products of their city and country, they also exerted significant influence on London, Britain and places far beyond. This is a chronicle, as informative as it is entertaining, of the ups and downs of London clubland, and how it had an impact on parts of the world far from London.

She Hath Been Reading
In the late nineteenth century hundreds of clubs formed across the United States devoted to the reading of Shakespeare. From Pasadena, California, to the seaside town of Camden, Maine; from the isolated farm town of Ottumwa, Iowa, to Mobile, Alabama, on the Gulf coast, Americans were reading Shakespeare in astonishing numbers and in surprising places. Composed mainly of women, these clubs offered the opportunity for members not only to read and study Shakespeare but also to participate in public and civic activities outside the home. InShe Hath Been Reading, Katherine West Scheil uncovers this hidden layer of intellectual activity that flourished in American society well into the twentieth century.
Shakespeare clubs were crucial for women's intellectual development because they provided a consistent intellectual stimulus (more so than was the case with most general women's clubs) and because women discovered a world of possibilities, both public and private, inspired by their reading of Shakespeare. Indeed, gathering to read and discuss Shakespeare often led women to actively improve their lot in life and make their society a better place. Many clubs took action on larger social issues such as women's suffrage, philanthropy, and civil rights. At the same time, these efforts served to embed Shakespeare into American culture as a marker for learning, self-improvement, civilization, and entertainment for a broad array of populations, varying in age, race, location, and social standing.
Based on extensive research in the archives of the Folger Shakespeare Library and in dozens of local archives and private collections across America,She Hath Been Readingshows the important role that literature can play in the lives of ordinary people. As testament to this fact, the book includes an appendix listing more than five hundred Shakespeare clubs across America.
