Sommario/riassunto

Currently, over 80,000 teachers have achieved National Board certification. Yet, no book to date has analyzed the process and its impact upon candidates (both those who are successful and those who are not). This book presents the results of a national study that asked, 'What are teachers learning from National Board certification?' Educational stakeholders including teachers, administrators, parents, and policy makers will find the answer and analysis engaging as they



explore ways to improve the quality of teaching and learning in their schools.

Sommario/riassunto

<P>Exercise immunology is an important, emerging sub-discipline within exercise physiology, concerned with the relationship between exercise, immune function and infection risk. This book offers a comprehensive, up-to-date and evidence-based introduction to exercise immunology, including the physiological and molecular mechanisms that determine immune function and the implications for health and performance in sport and everyday life.</P><P></P><P>Written by a team of leading exercise physiologists, the book describes the characteristics of the immune system and how its components are organise
