  • For the Love of Flight

    Marc Williams

    language (Xlibris, Nov. 30, 2011)
    PROLOGUE Rarely does anyone think of his or her emotional and learning disabilities as being assets, beneficial, or that they can even be advantageous. The book, For the Love of Flight, examines the life of a young man who was raised in a struggling family that moved from town to town. This young man attended thirteen different schools before graduating from high school. (Fifteen schools including college.) Because he was enrolled in school at the age of four, he was always one to two years younger than his peers were. So during his school years, he was smaller, less mature than his classmates, and constantly the new kid in school. This made him the target of the school bullies. Add to his emotional baggage ADD (attention deficient disorder), and the subsequent bad grades; it’s no wonder that from an early age he had no self-esteem and was cast by society and himself to be a failure. But he had a dream; he wanted to fly. Little did he know that flying would be the therapy, the antidote for the baggage that he was issued and that his ADD made him a natural pilot. But the greatest challenge that he would ever face wouldn’t be the missions he flew in Vietnam or the near-fatal flights as a civilian, but his past when it comes back to haunt him. Now as an EMS (Emergency Medical Service) helicopter pilot, he must reach down deep inside himself to once again find his love of flight.
  • Mixed Martial Arts and the Quest for Legitimacy: The Sport vs. Spectacle Divide

    Mark S. Williams

    eBook (McFarland, March 19, 2018)
    Mixed martial arts or MMA is widely regarded as the fastest growing sport. Events fill stadiums around the world and draw vast television audiences, earning strong revenue through pay-per-view at a time when other sports have abandoned it. In 2016, the Ultimate Fighting Championship was bought by the massive talent agency WME-IMG for $4 billion. Despite this success, much of the public remains uneasy with the sport, which critics have denounced as "human cockfighting." Through an exploration of violence, class, gender, race and nationalism, the author finds that MMA is both an expression of the positive values of martial arts and a spectacle defined by narcissism, hate and patriarchy. The long-term success of MMA will depend on the ability of promoters and athletes to resist indulging in spectacle at the expense of sport.
