Growth, Maturation, Physical Activity, and Sport


Growth, Maturation, Physical Activity, and Sport, Third Edition, is uniquely focused on the biological growth and maturation of children and adolescents in relation to physical performance (both physical activity and sport). Written by a true legend in the field, Robert M. Malina, this latest edition features new content exploring the characteristics of youth sport participants, associated benefits and risks, and efforts aimed at talent development. This essential resource guides readers through the complexities of human growth and maturation with the latest research findings and over 350 charts and illustrations that visually support the material. The content has been expanded and modified to incorporate recent advances in technology and science, such as progress in the study of the human genome, deeper understanding of hormone regulation during growth, and advancements in body composition assessment.Growth, Maturation, Physical Activity, and Sport, Third Edition, uses a five-part structure, enabling readers to gain a basic understanding of growth and maturation and then build upon that foundation. The first two parts focus on age- and sex-associated variations in body composition and explore the concept of biological maturation. Part III discusses primary factors that interact to regulate the process of growth and maturation-hormones, genes, nutrients and energy, and social factors. Part IV considers motor development and performance from infancy through adolescence. Part V has been added to provide an overview of youth sports, participation statistics, and motivation for participation, as well as a review of the growth and maturity characteristics of male and female participants in a variety of team and individual sports.Growth, Maturation, Physical Activity, and Sport, Third Edition, is the only text to focus on the biological growth and maturation process of children and adolescents as it relates to physical activity and performance. Readers will complete the text with an appreciation for the field and its influence in physical education, kinesiology, and the sport sciences.

Práce a peníze


Jak peníze a práce skutečně ovlivňují váš život – často jinak, než si myslíte. Tato kniha vám otevře oči. Spojuje klasickou i behaviorální ekonomii s psychologií, aby vám ukázala, proč pracujeme, jak přemýšlíme o penězích – a proč se často necháváme nevědomky ovlivňovat. Získáte odpovědi na otázky, které jste si možná ještě nikdy nepoložili, ale ovlivňují váš každodenní život: Proč by každý z nás měl k penězům dostat „příbalový leták“? A proč se naše rozhodování často zvrhne ve chvíli, kdy přijde na finance? Co pro nás dnes práce vlastně znamená – a dokázali bychom bez ní žít? Jak ocenit práci, která není vidět – třeba péči o domácnost? Tato kniha není jen o teorii. Najdete v ní srozumitelná vysvětlení, příklady ze života, konkrétní výpočty a experimenty, které vám pomohou lépe porozumět sobě i ostatním. Nečekejte další obhajobu konzumního života – spíš praktického průvodce, který vám pomůže porozumět vlastnímu vztahu k práci, penězům a tomu, co vás skutečně motivuje.

Krížové cesty so sv. Františkom a jeho nasledovníkmi


Sv. František žil v úplnej odovzdanosti do vôle Božej. Svoj život odovzdal Ježišovi do tej miery, že túžil prežiť jeho muky pri ukrižovaní... Dar stigmatizácie svätého Františka z Assisi, ktorá sa uskutočnila pred osemsto rokmi v tichu samoty pustovne na vrchu La Verná si pripomíname modlitebníkom, ktorý obsahuje šestnásť krížových ciest. Napísali ich členovia františkánskej rodiny. Obsahujú modlitby, myšlienky a reálie zo života sv. Františka a niektorých ďalších svätých zo serafínského rádu: Klára, Anton Paduánsky, Bonaventúra, Maximilián Mária Kolbe, blahoslavení Michal a Zbignev ako aj novic Štefan Iglódy, ktorý zomrel v povesti svätosti. Zbierka krížových ciest znám môže pomôcť uvažovať nad znakmi lásky a pokory nášho Spasiteľa. Pri úprimnej modlitbe určite poskytne svetlo, útechu i povzbudenie v našom vlastnom nasledovaní ukrižovaného a vzkrieseného Pána.

The Last Parenting Book You'll Ever Read


Your guide to celebrating and loving your kids more than ever in the weeks, months, and years before they begin their adult livesWe read the parenting books. We cheer from the sidelines. We grow accustomed to the joys and pains of raising toddlers, kids, tweens, and teens. And then, before we know it, it’s our kids’ last first day of school, the last time we’ll watch them take the field, or the last night they sleep at home before heading off to their next adventures. A season of our lives as moms is ending, and we may be mourning its passing. And yet, while our kids still need us—in some ways, more than ever—this stage can also be an opportunity for personal transformation.Author Meagan Francis understands the mixed feelings that come along with this stage. As a mom of five kids ages teen to young adult, she’s been blogging and podcasting about motherhood for more than twenty-five years while going from five kids under her roof to just one. In The Last Parenting Book You''ll Ever Read, Francis will take you by the hand and lead you through the final stage of “active” parenting, as your teenagers prepare to step into the world…and you explore what it means to step back into yourself.The Last Parenting Book You’ll Ever Read is about coming to terms with the many endings that moms of teenagers experience—but more than that, it’s about all the new beginnings on the horizon, and how moms can still hold their families close while letting them go. With compassion for the big feelings that accompany big transitions, Francis helps readers harness some of the mothering energy they’ve been directing toward their children and redirect it back toward nurturing themselves.

Party of One


From one of the most admired reporters covering China today, a vital new account of the life and political vision of Xi Jinping, the authoritarian leader of the People's Republic whose hard-edged tactics have set the rising superpower on a collision with Western liberal democracies. Party of One: The Rise of Xi Jinping and China's Superpower Future shatters the many myths and caricatures that shroud one of the world's most secretive political organizations and its leader. Many observers misread Xi during his early years in power, projecting their own hopes that he would steer China toward more political openness, rule of law, and pro-market economics. Having masked his beliefs while climbing the party hierarchy, Xi has centralized decision-making powers, encouraged a personality cult around himself, and moved toward indefinite rule by scrapping presidential term limits-stirring fears of a return to Mao-style dictatorship. Today, the party of Xi favors political zeal over technical expertise, trumpets its faith in Marxism, and proclaims its reach into every corner of Chinese society with Xi portraits and hammer-and-sickle logos. Under Xi, China has challenged Western preeminence in global affairs and cast its authoritarian system as a model of governance worthy of international emulation. As a China reporter for the Wall Street Journal, Chun Han Wong has chronicled Xi's hardline strategy for crushing dissent and his political repression in Hong Kong and Xinjiang. Wong spent five years in Beijing before the Chinese government forced him to leave mainland China in 2019, after which he moved to Hong Kong and continued writing about Xi's leadership. Now, Wong has drawn on his years of first-hand reporting across China to create a lucid and historically-rooted account of China's leader, and how he inspires fear and fervor in his party, his nation, and beyond. Timely, revelatory, and important, Party of One explains how the future Xi imagines for China will reshape the future of the entire world.

Wives Like Us


No one knows better than Ian Palmer - Executive Butler - that social position is everything in the rose-strewn Cotswolds. So when his boss, Tata Hawkins, flounces out of her (new-build) manor house after a row with husband Bryan, Ian is alarmed: for one thing, if Tata is on the social slide downwards, that means he is too; for another, he's lost his home and has nowhere to store his prized collection of vintage Gucci loafers; even worse, a vacuum among the Country Princess set has opened up for a new Queen Bee. With the old-money Pennybacker-Hoare sisters plotting to rid 'their' county of Tata and her ilk, a bikini influencer on the prowl for a husband just like Mr. Hawkins, a glamorous American divorcee threatening to steal Tata's crown, and the heiress-next-door threatening to steal Ian, the Cotswolds are in chaos. Can Ian restore Tata's country crown and reinstate her to the comforts of the Manor?

Land Between the Rivers


Iraq is where civilisation was born, where East and West have mixed and clashed since long before Alexander, and it was here by the waters of Babylon where Judaism was born and the Sunni-Shia schism took its bloody shape. Inspired by extensive reporting from the region and a decade delving deep into its history, Land Between the Rivers chronicles Iraq's uniquely central role on the global stage throughout the past five millennia. We begin the story with ancient Sumer and Gilgamesh building the walls of Uruk ('Iraq') to make a great name for himself at the edge of historical time. We end it in 1958, as the last royal family of Iraq is slaughtered on the steps of a small palace in Baghdad, the most effervescent, free and promising capital in the Middle East. Bartle Bull's remarkable, sweeping achievement reminds us that the region defined by the land between the rivers has, throughout history, played host to the contest pitting humanism against the machinations of power and fate.

Leaders in the Middle East and North Africa


The study of politics in the MENA region has traditionally been dominated by historical and case study approaches. In this innovative book, Özgür Özdamar and Sercan Canbolat instead adopt a social science-based methodology to reconsider the dynamics of power and leadership in Africa and the Middle East. By analysing the psychological profiles of fourteen leaders across eight countries and three non-state organizations, they develop a nuanced portrait of modern leadership. Using this approach, the authors are able to draw connections between apparently disparate political ideologies, from Sunni Islamism to Shia revolutionism, from secular nationalism and armed non-state groups. Demonstrating the previously unacknowledged commonalities and divergences in these leaders'' approaches, Özdamar and Canbolat illuminate their tactics and strategies and offer novel insights into how best to negotiate with them.
