Sommario/riassunto |
|
Martial Arts and Well-Being explores how martial arts as a source of learning can contribute in important ways to health and well-being, as well as provide other broader social benefits. Using psychological and sociological theory related to behaviour, ritual, perception and reality construction, the book seeks to illustrate, with empirical data, how individuals make sense of and perceive the value of martial arts in their lives. This book draws on data from over 500 people, acrossall age ranges, and powerfully demonstrates that participating in martial arts can have a profound influence on the construction of behaviour patterns that are directly linked to lifestyle and health. Making individual connections regarding the benefits of practice, improvements to health and well-being - regardless of whether these improvements are 'true' in a medical sense -this book offers an important and original window into the importance of beliefs to health and well-being as well as the value of thinking about education as a process of life-long learning. This book will be of great interest to a range of audiences, including researchers, academics and postgraduate students interested in sports and exercise psychology, martial art studies and health and well-being. It should also be of interest to sociologists, social workers and martial arts practitioners. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
NEXT GENERATION BUILDING MATERIALS The 21st century faces a radical change in how we produce construction materials – a shift towards cultivating, breeding, raising, farming, or growing future resources. This book presents innovative industrialized production methods for cultivated building materials, like cement grown by bacteria, bricks made of mushroom mycelium, or bamboo fibers as reinforcement for concrete. Spanning from scientific research to product development and architectural application, this book builds a bridge between the academic and the professional world of architecture. The book describes the challenges, strategies, and goals in the first part, followed by a second part on bamboo, A cultivated building material and a number of examples in the third part which form the bridge from cultivated materials to building products. |
baumaterialien einer neuen generation Die Produktion von Baumaterialien verändert sich im 21. Jahrhundert radikal: Künftige Ressourcen werden vermehrt, angebaut oder gezüchtet – sie werden organisch erzeugt. Dieses Buch stellt innovative industrialisierte Produktionsmethoden für die organische Erzeugung von Baumaterialien vor. Dazu gehören zum Beispiel durch Bakterien erzeugter Zement, aus Pilzzellen gewonnene Ziegel oder die Verwendung von Bambusfasern für die Betonarmierung. Die Darstellung schlägt einen Bogen von der wissenschaftlichen Forschung über die Produktentwicklung bis hin zu Anwendungen in Architektur und Bauwesen. Sie schlägt eine Brücke vom akademischen zum praktischen Bereich des Entwerfens und Bauen. Der erste Teil beschreibt Herausforderungen, Strategien und Ziele, gefolgt von einem zweiten Teil über Bambus als einem organisch erzeugten Baumaterial und einem dritten Teil mit zahlreichen Beispielen für Entwicklungen von Bauprodukten aus organisch erzeugten Baumerialien. |
