Sommario/riassunto |
|
The endurance athlete faces a paradox-you're going farther and faster, you're feeling stronger, but your bones are getting weaker. New, compelling evidence shows that the very activities that expand our mental and physical abilities may be reducing the durability of our skeletons. In this book, Thomas Whipple, a leading orthopaedic clinical specialist, and Robert Eckhardt, a scientist specializing in the musculoskeletal system, team up to explain how athletes at any level can maintain the delicate balance between endurance exercise and optimum bone health over a lifetime.

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Drawn from international sources, this book provides principles and strategies for the evaluation of chemical reactions, and for using this information in process design and management. A useful resource for engineers who design, start-up, operate, and manage chemical and petrochemical plants, the book places special emphasis on the use of state-of-the-art technology in theory, testing methods, and applications in design and operations. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
An introduction to the varieties of citizenship in Britain, from the Middle Ages to the contemporary times. This work introduces both the status and understanding of citizenship in practice and the theoretical and advisory writings on the subject, and explores their inter-relationships. It examines key themes like local and national strata. |
