Those who have been lured by the sound of skate blades slicing into fresh ice, by the incomparable speed, split-second decisions, and everything-or-nothing attitude of the game know that hockey can seem like its own world. It's all-consuming and exhilarating, boasting its own language and complex morality code. Yet in another light, that tight community can turn insular; the values of teamwork and humility can manifest as collective silence in the face of abuse and discrimination, issues which have been brought to the forefront of the sport as many share their stories for the first time. In Game Misconduct, reporters Evan Moore and Jashvina Shah reveal hockey's toxic undercurrent which has permeated the sport throughout the junior, college, and professional levels. They address the topic with a level of passion that comes from being rabid hockey fans themselves, and from experiencing its exclusivity first-hand. With a sensitive yet incisive approach, this necessary book lays bare the issues of racism, homophobia, xenophobia, bullying, sexism, and violence on and off the ice. Readers will learn about notable players and activists fighting for transformation as well as those beyond the spotlight who are nonetheless deeply affected by hockey's culture of inaction.Both a reckoning and a roadmap, Game Misconduct is an essential read for modern hockey fans, showing the truth of the sport's past and present while offering the tools to fight for a better future.

Cultural Complexes and the Soul of America explores many of the cultural complexes that comprise the collective psychic-filtering system of emotions, ideas, and beliefs that possess the United States today. With chapters by an international selection of leading authors, the book covers ideas both broad and specific, and presents unique insight into the current state of the nation.The voices included in this volume amplify contemporary concerns, linking them to themes which have existed in the American psyche for decades while also looking to the future. Part One examines meta themes, including history, purity, dominion, and democracy in the age of Trump. Part Two looks at key complexes including race, gender, the environment, immigration, national character, and medicine. The overall message is that it is in wrestling with these complexes that the soul of America is forged or undone.This highly relevant book will be essential reading for academics and students of Jungian and post-Jungian ideas, politics, sociology, and American studies. It will also be of great interest to Jungian analysts in practice and in training, and anyone interested in the current state of the US.

Das Leben – eine Zumutung! Warum soll man nicht Auto fahren? Was hat ein deutscher Omnibus mit der Antike zu tun? Was ist der Unterschied zwischen Fußball und Stierkampf? Wie bringt man es fertig, stilvoll zu sterben? Warum ist Hirnforschung bedenklich? Wie wurde Che Guevara zum obersten Volkswirt? Und wie poetisieren Friseure das Leben? Amüsant und feinsinnig richtet Stefan aus dem Siepen den Blick auf unsere moderne Existenz. In kurzen Betrachtungen und Anekdoten hält er fest, warum uns ein angenehmes Dasein unmöglich ist. Alltagsleben, Zeitgeschehen, Kunst und Literatur, Sport, deutsche Sprache, letzte Dinge – überall spießt aus dem Siepen mit einem Augenzwinkern »Zumutungen« auf. Das Notizbuch eines kritischen Zeitgenossen – voller Esprit, angriffslustig und immer elegant.
