Описание: A standout among introductory biomechanics texts, Biomechanics of Sport and Exercise, Fourth Edition With Web Resource, takes a unique approach to introducing exercise and sport biomechanics. Using simple terms, the book presents mechanics before functional anatomy, helping students first understand external forces and their effects on motion; then explores how the musculoskeletal system responds and generates its own internal forces to maintain position; and finally shows how to apply biomechanical principles to analyze movement and ultimately improve performance. The fourth edition expands its commitment to enabling students to discover the principles of biomechanics through observation. Easy-to-understand experiments are presented for students to try in the classroom or on their own. Sample problem sidebars guide students through choosing the appropriate equation to determine the forces acting or motion occurring in a specific scenario and then helps them solve the equation. This practical approach-combining clear illustrations, sample calculations, and encouragement for active learning-helps students develop a deeper understanding of the underlying mechanical concepts. In addition to careful updates throughout the book, other new enhancements in the fourth edition include the following: New content explores the technologies and devices available to coaches, athletes, and the general public to measure aspects of athletes’ movements.New full-color art and diagrams enhance the text and help students visualize mechanics in real-world scenarios.Explanations of the equations used in the text make the content more accessible to students.New concept application boxes provide deeper analysis of the field use of biomechanics, with topics such as the Magnus effect in baseball pitching, the wetsuit effect in triathlons, power output in cycling, centripetal acceleration when running a curve, and the work-energy principles in modern shot putting. Other learning aids include bold key terms, chapter objectives, and a guide to key equations and abbreviations. The chapters include a total of 18 sample problems that students can solve using a step-by-step process. A companion web resource offers additional review questions and problem sets.Biomechanics of Sport and Exercise, Fourth Edition, introduces the biomechanics of human movement in a clear and concise manner while promoting an active, engaged learning experience. Students will discover the principles of mechanics for themselves, resulting in a strong understanding of the subject matter.

Описание:
Hatchet meets Wild in this harrowing YA survival story about a teenage girl's attempt to endure the impossible, from the Edgar Award-winning author of The Female of the Species, Mindy McGinnis.
The world is not tame. Ashley knows this truth deep in her bones, more at home with trees overhead than a roof.
So when she goes hiking in the Smokies with her friends for a night of partying, the falling dark and creaking trees are second nature to her. But people are not tame either. And when Ashley catches her boyfriend with another girl, drunken rage sends her running into the night, stopped only by a nasty fall into a ravine.
Morning brings the realization that she's alone--and far off trail. Lost in undisturbed forest and with nothing but the clothes on her back, Ashley must figure out how to survive with the red streak of infection creeping up her leg.

Описание:
When Zoe has to start a new school after the summer holidays, she is naturally apprehensive. Making friends at a new school was hard enough but with her skin condition, that made it look like she had two different skin tones, it had always been harder.
In her last school she had been lucky enough to befriend Quinn and that had changed everything. But now she would have to start all over and Quinn had already told her how horrible third graders could be.
It isn't too long before Quinn's words are ringing in Zoe's ears, when class bully Nyla decides to try to turn the rest of the class against her by telling them that she has a disease and is contagious.
Zoe fears the worst, but she is tougher than she thought she was and is determined that she will make friends and that others will like her for who she is. She just needs to work out how.
I loved this book. It has a unique style based on the family characters which is endearing. Zoe or dough - never both is a cute girl with a visible difference voicing all the insecurities of trying to fit in at a new school. Her family are super supportive and give plenty of positive advice. In the end it is up to Zoe to keep her head up and make the friends she needs. It has a positive message for any child who is different and would be amazing to share with children in class. I believe children would easily relate to the characters and it would generate fabulous discussion on how we treat each other. Love it
Cute up lifting book for 8-9 year olds. A quick read that has some meaning and real life experience. I liked the topic this is not one you hear a lot about, yet it is pretty common really. What I really liked in this book was the "Zen" time. How her parents were not only positive and supportive, but taught her how to breath and how to calm herself down. Children at this age need tools on how to cope with life.
I enjoyed the story of Zoe. I loved the relationship with her family, she was never afraid to talk to them when she felt nervous about something. It is an eye opener to kids that no matter what your parents are always there for you. Despite being scared at times she always stayed positive. The message is very strong for kids reading this book. They learn how through family and friends you can learn to overcome obstacles. Very well written and great story.

Описание:
Mindy McGinnis, award-winning author of The Female of the Species and A Madness So Discreet, returns with a new dark and twisted psychological thriller--perfect for fans of Gone Girl and Fight Club.
Sasha Stone knows her place--first-chair clarinet, top of her class, and at the side of her Oxford-wearing boyfriend. She's worked her entire life to ensure her path to Oberlin Conservatory as a star musician is perfectly paved.
But suddenly there's a fork in the road in the shape of Isaac Harver. Her body shifts toward him when he walks by, and her skin misses his touch even though she's never known it. Why does he act like he knows her so well--too well--when she doesn't know him at all?
Sasha discovers that her by-the-book life began by ending the chapter of another: the twin sister she absorbed in the womb. But that doesn't explain the gaps of missing time in her practice schedule, or the memories she has of things she certainly never did with Isaac.
Armed with the knowledge that her heart might not be hers alone, Sasha must decide what she's willing to do--and who she's willing to hurt--to take it back.
