Nowhere in the world was the sport of biathlon, a combination of cross-country skiing and rifle marksmanship, taken more seriously than in the Soviet Union, and no other nation garnered greater success at international venues. From the introduction of modern biathlon in 1958 to the USSR''s demise in 1991, athletes representing the Soviet Union won almost half of all possible medals awarded in world championship and Olympic competition. Yet more than sheer technical skill created Soviet superiority in biathlon. The sport embodied the Soviet Union''s culture, educational system and historical experience and provided the perfect ideological platform to promote the state''s socialist viewpoint and military might, imbuing the sport with a Cold War sensibility that transcended the government''s primary quest for post-war success at the Olympics.William D. Frank''s book is the first comprehensive analysis of how the Soviet government interpreted the sport of skiing as a cultural, ideological, political and social tool throughout the course of seven decades. In the beginning, the Soviet Union owned biathlon, and so the stories of both the state and the event are inseparable. Through the author''s unique perspective on biathlon as a former nationally-ranked competitor and current professor of Soviet history, Everyone to Skis! will appeal to students and scholars of Russian and Soviet history as well as to general readers with an interest in skiing and the development of twentieth-century sport.

The surprising roots of the self-defense movement and the history of women’s empowerment. At the turn of the twentieth century, women famously organized to demand greater social and political freedoms like gaining the right to vote. However, few realize that the Progressive Era also witnessed the birth of the women’s self-defense movement. It is nearly impossible in today’s day and age to imagine a world without the concept of women’s self defense. Some women were inspired to take up boxing and jiu-jitsu for very personal reasons that ranged from protecting themselves from attacks by strangers on the street to rejecting gendered notions about feminine weakness and empowering themselves as their own protectors. Women’s training in self defense was both a reflection of and a response to the broader cultural issues of the time, including the women’s rights movement and the campaign for the vote. Perhaps more importantly, the discussion surrounding women’s self-defense revealed powerful myths about the source of violence against women and opened up conversations about the less visible violence that many women faced in their own homes. Through self-defense training, women debunked patriarchal myths about inherent feminine weakness, creating a new image of women as powerful and self-reliant. Whether or not women consciously pursued self-defense for these reasons, their actions embodied feminist politics. Although their individual motivations may have varied, their collective action echoed through the twentieth century, demanding emancipation from the constrictions that prevented women from exercising their full rights as citizens and human beings. This book is a fascinating and comprehensive introduction to one of the most important women’s issues of all time. This book will provoke good debate and offer distinct responses and solutions.

"Good Enough" is an intimate and compelling memoir penned by Aaron Victor, a chronicle of his personal journey towards self-acceptance. A testament to his resilience, the book meticulously depicts his transformation from being an 'unknown man' to his journey towards self-acceptance.Aaron's narrative explores his early childhood experiences and the pressures of meeting adult expectations at a very young age. His relationship with his father forms a pivotal part of this narrative arc. Victor does not shy away from portraying the impact of his father's battle with prostate cancer on their bond. His passion for music and his arduous journey to fully embrace this talent also form significant threads in this narrative tapestry.From touching upon episodes of bullying in his school days to the pressure of high academic expectations, Aaron has crafted an engaging narrative that examines the lasting impact of childhood experiences on an individual's self-perception. His perpetual quest for acceptance and his struggle with perfectionism underscore his internal conflict between seeking external validation and recognizing that true self-worth lies within. His quest for authenticity evolves through introspection, forgiveness, and ultimately, healing.Aaron Victor's experiences in his personal life, including his relationships and his pursuit of his passion, form the backbone of this memoir. He shares his experiences with romantic relationships, highlighting his time in the friend zone, and how this affected his feelings of self-worth. His journey from high school to college, his struggle as a college basketball player, and his setbacks in his career, particularly a job offer that fell through, paint a vivid picture of his life's ups and downs.
