Triathlons, such as the famously arduous Ironman Triathlon, and "extreme" mountain biking are prime examples of the new "lifestyle sports" that have grown in recent years from oddball pursuits into multi-million-dollar industries. Sociologist Stephen C. Poulson offers an exploration of these new and physically demanding sports, shedding light on why some people find them so compelling.
In this work Stephen C. Poulson, a scholar of collective action and social movements, investigates cycles of social protest in Iran from 1890 to the present era. He illuminates the following social movements: the 1890-1892 Tobacco Movement; the 1906-1909 Constitutional Revolution; two post-World War II movements, the Tudeh (Masses) and the National Front; the 1963 Qom Protest; and the 1978-1979 Iranian Revolution. These movements confronted two primary questions: How should the Iranian state achieve independence in the world and what rights should individual Iranians enjoy in their political and social system? Poulson examines the framing of these questions and their answers by various Iranian political actors over time, revealing both continuity and change.
