1. Säg den som inte har en relation till Stryket. Inget annat spel har engagerat den svenska folksjälen som jakten på 13 rätt. Tillsammans med Tipsextra har Stryktipset byggt en kollektiv svensk kärlek till engelsk fotboll. Den visar sig oavsett du håller på Liverpool eller Sheffield United.

X. Följ med på en kryssning genom Stryktipsets långa, hetlevrade historia. Händelserna, anekdoterna och hjältarna. Storvinsterna och tenniskupongerna. Gemenskapen, engagemanget, våndan i 90:e minuten, frustrationen och vinnarglädjen. Vi snackar nostalgi på hög nivå, oavsett du är tippare, fotbollsfantast eller ombud. Eller bara lider av allmänintresse.

2. Författaren Daniel Björklunds pappa hette Lars-Gunnar och startade en gång Tipsextra. Det gör Daniels relation till Stryktipset unik. Daniel har tillsammans med David Stark skrivit en bok till dig och alla dina vänner som varit med och skapat historien om Stryktipset. Vi vet nämligen att även din relation till Stryket är unik.

How do we know? Because we know. It s our job to know.

Det här är en bok om svensk discgolf. Vad den var. Hur den blev till. Vad den är. Och vart den är på väg. Om den svenska plasten, och förstås dom bästa svenska kasten, men kanske framför allt om dom helt jäkla strålande personer och ambitioner som ligger bakom sportens framfart.

Svensk discgolf är sa mycket större än du tror. Därför fokuserar vi hellre på Tomas, Birgitta, Markus och Camilla än på Paul, Paige, Ricky och Eagle. Vi tar dig med till våra bästa banor och till svenska disctillverkare som tagit resten av världen med storm.

Människorna, historierna och kärleken till sporten hellre än kompletta resultatlistor och formtips. Ändå får du ta del av massor av statistik och lära dig mer om våra stackars kastkroppar.

Vi tyckte att vår sport saknade en tegelsten till bok. Nu är den här.

Hoppas den roar!

Den 14 mars 2020 spelades den allra sista stryktipsomgången med fysiska, matchbundna kuponger. Därmed tog en 86-årig svensk tradition slut – en epok som präglat såväl lördagsrutiner som folkhemsdrömmar.

Författarna David Stark och Jonas Nilsson har gjort det till sitt hedersuppdrag att bevara denna speltradition. Kupongerna från Stryktipsets drygt 90-åriga historia finns nämligen inte samlade någon annanstans. Vi ser boken som ett litet museum , säger de.

Här är det alltså kupongerna som står i rampljuset, ifyllda med rätt rader och redo för ren tipsnostalgi. Perfekta att nörda ner sig i, men också förundras över: varje kupong triggar berättelser om lagen, spelarna och de drabbande ögonblicken i Stryktipsets historia.

Trevlig läsning! Eller museivandring, om du så vill.

Restructuring Networks in Post-Socialism

Legacies, Linkages and Localities

AvStark Grabher,Gernot Grabherm. fl.

Skickas inom 3-6 vardagar

This book is about change in Central and Eastern Europe, and how we think about social and economic change, more generally. In contrast to the dominant 'transition framework' that examines organizational forms in Eastern Europe according to the degree to which they conform to, or depart from, the blueprints of already existing capitalisms, this book examines the innovative character, born of necessity, in which actors in the post-socialist setting are restructuring organizations and institutions by redefining and recombining resources. Instead of conceiving these recombination as accidental aberrations, it explores their evolutionary potentials. The starting premise of Restructuring Networks is that the actual unit of entrepreneurship is not the isolated individual personality but the social networks that links firms and the actors within them. Drawing insight from evolutionary economics and from the new methods of network analysis, leading sociologists economists and political scientists present their findings from Hungary, Poland, Eastern Germany, Russia and the Czech Republic.

Moments of Valuation

Exploring Sites of Dissonance

The outcome of innovation processes are determined by complex, historically grown valuation practices. In this book, a wide range of innovations are taken into consideration, from small inventions like entertainment novelties to large societal changes through new technologies. The chapters observe the particular local or distributed sites in which their episodes of innovation take place, and they identify the initial dissonance among those judging a newly proposed alternative. The emphasis of the inquiry, however, is on the practices of valuation that are at work when something succeeds in being "new".The authors represent a wide variety of sub-disciplines and national backgrounds in the social sciences. They share an interest in social valuation and a pragmatist approach. The differences between their empirical evidence reflect the wide variety of appearances that valuation takes in contemporary society. They are anthropologists, economic or cultural sociologists, organization researchers, historians or political scientists. A number of chapters deals with aesthetic valuation, as in the tasting of a new vintage, or in the socio-technical process that shaped successful synthesizer sounds. Other chapters discuss the judgment processes in organizations, like architect offices or consultancy firms, and processes of evaluation and valorization in larger fields of practice, like accounting or mathematics. The studies are both of interest in their various professional fields, and contribute to a more general understanding of the social and cultural conditions under which innovations fail and succeed.

Chapter 1 from this book is published open access and free to read or download from Oxford AcademicWhat's valuable?Market competition provides one kind of answer. Competitions offer another. On one side, competition is an ongoing and seemingly endless process of pricings; on the other, competitions are discrete and bounded in time and location, with entry rules, judges, scores, and prizes. This book examines what happens when ever more activities in domains of everyday life are evaluated and experienced in terms of performance metrics. Unlike organized competitions, such systems are ceaseless and without formal entry. Instead of producing resolutions, their scorings create addictions. To understand these developments, this book explores discrete contests (architectural competitions, international music competitions, and world press photo competitions); shows how the continuous updating of rankings is both a device for navigating the social world and an engine of anxiety; and examines the production of such anxiety in settings ranging from the pedagogy of performance in business schools to struggling musicians coping with new performance metrics in online platforms. In the performance society, networks of observation - in which all are performing and keeping score - are entangled with a system of emotionally charged preoccupations with one's positioning within the rankings. From the bedroom to the boardroom, pharmaceutical companies and management consultants promise enhanced performance. This assemblage of metrics, networks, and their attendant emotional pathologies is herein regarded as the performance complex.

Life and Shadow on the Great Plains

The numbers of farms and farmers on the Great Plains are dwindling. Disappearing even faster are the farm places-the houses, barns, and outbuildings that made the rural landscape a place of habitation. Nancy Warner's photographs tell the stories of buildings that were once loved yet have now been abandoned. Her evocative images are juxtaposed with the voices of Nebraska farm people, lovingly recorded by sociologist David Stark. These plainspoken recollections tell of a way of life that continues to evolve in the face of wrenching change. Warner's spare, formal photographs invite readers to listen to the cadences and tough-minded humor of everyday speech in the Great Plains. Stark's afterword grounds the project in the historical relationship between people and their land. In the tradition of Wright Morris, this combination of words and images is both art and document, evoking memories, emotions, and questions for anyone with rural American roots.

Throughout their careers, social scientists must come up with compelling research topics, decide when and where to publish, and revise their manuscripts for publication. Despite the importance of these skills, they are seldom if ever addressed in the course of graduate training. Heavy emphasis is placed on conducting research, and other core activities such as teaching also receive attention, yet fundamental academic practices are left almost entirely in the shadows.Practicing Sociology brings together a range of leading sociologists to reflect on their work and demystify this tacit knowledge. In conversational and engaging essays, they provide practical guidance and hard-won wisdom for readers at any stage of their scholarly careers. The book’s three sections explore the art of finding new research questions, best practices in publishing, and how to make the most out of the peer review process. Contributors’ distinctive voices come through as they recount their frustrations and failures as well as the joys of the sociological craft. They provide a range of perspectives, underscoring that there is no one “right” way to practice sociology but a constellation of different approaches that together give the field its vitality.Practicing Sociology features a team of skilled scholars including Peter Bearman, Paul J. DiMaggio, Wendy Espeland, Marion Fourcade, Shamus Rahman Khan, Eric Klinenberg, Michèle Lamont, Jennifer Lee, Mignon Moore, Mario Small, Duncan Watts, and many more.

Postsocialist Pathways

Can property regimes be successfully transformed while simultaneously extending citizenship rights to the property-less? This is the postsocialist challenge analyzed in this comparative study of the new democracies of a distinctly East European capitalism. Tracing the diverse pathways from the collapse of communism, a leading American economic sociologist and a pioneering Hungarian political scientist examine the innovative character, born of necessity, of postsocialist institutions in which actors are recombining economic assets and redefining political resources. Under conditions of extraordinary uncertainty, networks of enterprises become the units of economic restructuring, blurring the boundaries of public and private and yielding distinctive patterns of interorganizational ownership. In contrast to calls to liberate the market or to liberate the state, this sustained comparative analysis demonstrates the benefits of deliberative institutions that are neither market friendly nor hierarchical. By extending accountability, actors bound through associative ties make agreements that extend the authority to carry out reforms.

Accounts of Worth in Economic Life

What counts? In work, as in other areas of life, it is not always clear what standards we are being judged by or how our worth is being determined. This can be disorienting and disconcerting. Because of this, many organizations devote considerable resources to limiting and clarifying the logics used for evaluating worth. But as David Stark argues, firms would often be better off, especially in managing change, if they allowed multiple logics of worth and did not necessarily discourage uncertainty. In fact, in many cases multiple orders of worth are unavoidable, so organizations and firms should learn to harness the benefits of such "heterarchy" rather than seeking to purge it. Stark makes this argument with ethnographic case studies of three companies attempting to cope with rapid change: a machine-tool company in late and postcommunist Hungary, a new-media startup in New York during and after the collapse of the Internet bubble, and a Wall Street investment bank whose trading room was destroyed on 9/11. In each case, the friction of competing criteria of worth promoted an organizational reflexivity that made it easier for the company to change and deal with market uncertainty.Drawing on John Dewey's notion that "perplexing situations" provide opportunities for innovative inquiry, Stark argues that the dissonance of diverse principles can lead to discovery.

Remaking the Economic Institutions of Socialism

AvVictor Nee,David Stark

Inbunden, Engelska, 1989

974 kr

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar

To what extent can contemporary socialist economies be reformed by the introduction of markets? The question is usually debated in either a Chinese or an East European context; this collection of eleven essays is unique in taking the first steps toward a comparative analysis.Twenty years of experience with reforms in Hungary and a decade of experimentation with reforms in China proivde a critical mass of evidence for analyzing the problems endemic to cnetrally planned economies and the dilemmas faced in efforts to reform them. In reflecting on the Chinese and East European experiences, these essays trace the shift from a conception of reform as a mix of planning and makrets within the state sector to a socialist mixed economy with implications for the emergence of new social groups and autonomous social organizations.The essays exemplify a new perspective in the study of state socialism that changes the focus from ideologies to economic institutions, examining how the activities of subordinate groups place limits on the power of state elites.The authors include scholars who have shaped debates in Eastern Europe and whose work is now stimulating much discussion in China, as well as representatives of a younger generation of economists, sociologists, and political scientists writing on the basis of field research recently conducted in factories, cities, and villages in China and Eastern Europe. The contributors are: Wlodzimierz Brus, Walter D. Connor, Zhiren Lin, Victor Nee, Susan Shirk, David Stark, Ivan Szelenyi, and Martin King Whyte.An introductory essays surveys recent theories and research on state socialism and outlines a new institutional perspective for understanding the dilemmas of partial reforms, the political cycles of reform and retrenchment, and the role of subordinate groups in stimulating changes outside the state sector.

How friction, diversity, and tension drive breakthrough ideas in business, technology, and cultureIn the popular imagination, innovation is associated with the lone genius. Innovation, however, is never the product of one individual, but rather occurs through the combined efforts of a network of people. But how do these networks operate? In Tension and Invention, Balazs Vedres and David Stark argue that generative tension is the critical, yet often unacknowledged, mechanism that drives innovation.The authors deconstruct conventional accounts of organizational behavior that equate efficiency with efficacy in creative endeavors. Using a diverse variety of empirical case studies including jazz combos, business groups, and video game developers, Vedres and Stark show how friction, far from being a liability, actively precipitates invention in contexts of radical uncertainty. The result is a theory of innovation on how disjuncture and dissonance, when structurally organized, can be harnessed for discovery.Offering a compelling theoretical and empirical basis for rethinking the foundations of creative production, Tension and Invention delivers a powerful message: creativity is not born from smoothness or consensus, but from the productive struggles of difference. Invention happens because of tension, not despite it.

Climate Change for Young People

The Antidote to Eco-anxiety

AvDavid Stark

Häftad, Engelska, 2023

168 kr

Skickas

David Stark could not find a book which explained climate change and related energy policy in appropriate detail without being patronising and alarmist so after seven years of research he wrote one himself.He believes that the contagion circulating through young people of the 21st century, eco-anxiety has spread because the agenda was set by activism where rational and informed debate is precluded. With this comprehensive - but entirely accessible - guide to climate change, debate and the healing process can now start. We can all begin to understand why efforts to date to ‘save the planet’ have hurt the economies of Western democracies and placed our energy and manufacturing security in the hands of autocracies.This book discusses the different arguments that are often heard in documentaries and news reports but breaks them down with facts and empirical scientific evidence, cutting through the hyperbole to see whether they are actually the cause for panic that we’ve been told they are and whether the solutions being proposed will really help. The current energy crisis suggests that the cure is worse than the disease.

Children's reactions to art can be incredibly insightful and few artists attract a young audience as much as Keith Haring, who used thick black lines, bright colors, and striking symbols to create paintings that are as open to interpretation as they are joyful and fun. This engaging book records children's reactions to Haring's most imaginative drawings, and the results are as unpredictable and profound as the work itself. Along the way, the book encourages its readers to let their own imaginations run wild. By exploring Haring's life, technique, and creativity, the book will inspire readers of all ages to express themselves, whether through art, poetry, or simply saying what is on their minds.

"En liten fin hyllning till det fria ordet som får en att bli jätteglad" sa SVT:s Magnus Utvik.

"Humor ur folkdjupet" skrev Sundsvalls Tidning.

Ja, humorboken Sedan vi kom med i EU har vädret blivit sämre som utkom våren 2017 föll verkligen kritikerna i smaken. Att döma av försäljningssiffrorna verkar också svenska folket i stort hålla med: när vanligt folk får komma till tals blir man varm i hjärtat ? och kiknar inte sällan av skratt!

Lagom till en ny, värmande säsong (våren 2018) släpps den populära skrattsalvan i ett mer pris-, strand- och väskvänligt format. Och pocketvarianten bjuder förstås på precis samma uppskattade innehåll som sin inbundna förlaga.

Med andra ord: här samlar författarna Jennifer Bark och David Stark de allra roligaste, konstigaste, bästa och mest uppseendeväckande svaren som helt vanliga människor givit på journalisters frågor. Liksom insändarna som tveklöst går till humorhistorien.

Flera av personerna bakom de rosade, roande (och ibland smått oroande) svaren intervjuas också i boken. Det tillför inte bara djup och kontext, utan också stories som verkligen visar att det är hos ?vanligt folk? som de mest fantastiska berättelserna finns att finna.

Den här boken är gjord av och för särskrivningsmotståndare. Inte nog med att författaren David Stark driver institutionen Sverige mot särskrivning med 250 000 följare många av dessa språkpoliser har också varit delaktiga i bokens arbetsprocess.

Efter framgångsrika böcker som "Skum kanin med ananassmak" och "Kassa personalen rekommenderar" vill författaren den här gången komma ännu närmre det som merparten av Sverige mot särskrivnings följare (och garanterat även Björn Ranelid) betecknar som ett stort samhällsproblem.

Boken är rikligt illustrerad med några av de tusentals roliga bilder som skickats in till Sverige mot särskrivning, men också med med kreativa kollage som på ett humoristiskt sätt visar hur det kan gå när mellanslagstangenten används lite för ofta.
