Book SynopsisIt was with great pleasure that I accepted Professor Wackenheim's invitation to write the preface of this most interesting monograph. During the international course on neuroradiology in Obernai, organized by Professor Wackenheim in 1978, an entire day was devoted to discussions about various aspects of stenosis of the lumbar vertebral canal. As Professor Wackenheim and his group, in particular Dr. E. Babin, had thorough· ly studied this field, it was an excellent occasion for the exchange of views through personal contact. Their support of basic views such as attributing the cause of stenosis to a developmental disturbance of growth of the neural element - the vertebral arc- and spontaneous agreement about essentials in classification and nomenclature facili­ tated this exchange. Reading the present monograph made me think back to 1949 when I wrote my first publication on stenosis of the lumbar vertebral canal in a French volume that com­ memorated my teacher in neurosurgery, Professor Clovis Vincent. During the following years it was impossible to publish a more detailed paper on the subject in international journals since their editorial boards did not believe in its occurrence. My first English papers were published in the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery (1954, 1955), but it was only during the 1970s that this form of stenosis became more universally recog­ nized.Table of ContentsA.

Book SynopsisWritten for yogis of all levels, 'The Anatomy of Yoga Coloring Book' perfectly bridges the gap between anatomy textbook, yoga compendium, and interactive revision tool. The human body is a complex and fascinating machine. Author Jo Ann Staugaard-Jones illustrates just how clever it is by first breaking it down in to its component parts, and then putting it back together in its full glory within the context of yoga movement. Starting with a comprehensive examination of the nervous system, anatomical movement, and all the body systems, the book then truly comes to life as Staugaard-Jones presents over 50 popular asanas describing with color and artistry which muscles are being strengthened (contracting), which are being stretched (lengthened), and which muscles are working as stabilizers to support the pose. Test your knowledge as you color intricate black and white drawings of each asana The seven categories of asanas are presented with prompts to color relevant structures and functions, insightful technique tips, and anatomical nuggets that will enhance your understanding of the science behind your practice. You will learn not only the benefits of each pose but also the contraindications, relevant terminology, and how to vary poses where necessary. The healing heart of yoga What sets this book apart from others is its inclusion of the subtler realm of yoga - that which is referred to as 'energetic anatomy'. Understanding the unseen energies of the body in terms of fascia, bandhas, nadis, and chakras will take you beyond just muscle and joint mechanics, alignment and technique, and connect you more profoundly to the yogic way of life.Table of ContentsChapter 1 The Moving Body Chapter 2 Human Anatomy Organisation of the Body Guide to the Integumentary System Guide to the Skeletal System Guide to the Muscular System Guide to the Nervous System Guide to the Endocrine System Guide to the Respiratory System Guide to the Cardiovascular System Guide to the Lymphatic and Immune System Guide to the Digestive System Guide to the Urinary System Guide to the Reproductive System Chapter 3 Standing Asanas Agni Sara (Fire Cascade) Tadasana (Mountain Pose) Utkatasana (Chair Pose) Trikonasana (Triangle Pose) Virabhadrasana I (Warrior Pose I) Virabhadrasana II (Warrior Pose II) Utthita Parshvakonasana (Extended Side-Angle Pose) Parsvottanasana (Pyramid Pose) Viparita Virabhadrasana (Reverse Warrior Pose) Chapter 4 Sitting and Low Asanas Sukhasana (Easy Pose) Vajrasana (Kneeling Pose) Dandasana (Staff Pose) Baddha Konasana (Bound Angle Pose) Gomukhasana (Cow Face Pose) Padmasana (Lotus Pose) Navasana (Boat Pose) Upavesasana (Squat Pose) or Malasana (Garland Pose) Chapter 5 Twists Bharadvajasana (Seated Twist Pose) Supta Matsyendrasana (Reclined or Supine Twist Pose) Ardha Matsyendrasana (Half Lord-of-the-Fishes Pose) Chapter 6 Prone and Supine Asanas Prone: Makarasana (Crocodile Pose) Chakravakasana (Cat/Cow Stretch or Sunbird Pose) Chaturanga Dandasana (Four-Limbed Staff Pose) Dhanurasana (Bow Pose) Supine: Purvottanasana (Reverse or Upward Plank Pose) Shavasana (Corpse Pose) Chapter 7 Inversions Adho Mukha Svanasana (Down Dog Pose) Setu Bandhasana (Half Bridge Pose) Viparita Karani (Legs Up the Wall) Prasarita Padottanasana A (Wide-Legged Forward Bend A) Adho Mukha Vrkshasana (Handstand Pose) Shirshasana (Headstand Pose) Sarvangasana (Shoulderstand Pose) Halasana (Plough Pose) Chapter 8 Forward and Backward Bends Forward: Balasana (Child's Pose) Uttanasana (Standing Forward-Bend Pose) Parsvottanasana (Pyramid Pose) Janu Sirsasana (Head to Knee Forward Bend Pose) Paschimottanasana (Seated Forward Bend) Backward: Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose) Anjaneyasana (Crescent Pose) Ustrasana (Camel Pose) Urdva Mukha Svanasana (Up Dog Pose) Shalabhasana (Locust Pose) Matsyasana (Fish Pose) Eka Pada Rajakapotasana (One-Legged King Pigeon Pose) Chapter 9 Balancings Anjaneyasana (Crescent Moon) Parighasana (Crossbar or Gate Pose) Vrkhasana (Tree Pose) Ardha Chandrasana (Half Moon Pose) Virabhadrasana III (Warrior Pose III) Garudasana (Eagle Pose) Natarajasana (Lord of the Dance Pose) Bakasana (Crane Pose) Chapter 10 The Subtle Body and Fascia

Book SynopsisIn the Chinese medicine tradition, understanding and resonating with the spirit of the organs leads to better diagnosis and more effective, powerful treatment. Behind most symptoms lies a disturbance of spirit, and the more alert a practitioner to the nature of such a disturbance the more effective the treatment is likely to be.John Hamwee explores the spirit of each organ not in analytical, rational, summarising language but through life stories that express the nature and tendencies of the organ at a deep level. Through the stories of 12 people that embody the unique spirit of each organ, he shows the physical, emotional and spiritual nature of each, and their related tendencies and possibilities for improved wellbeing. Written to give Chinese medicine practitioners new ways to reflect on each organ in the most complete way, this book is also a lighthearted yet profound introduction to the heart of the Chinese medical tradition.Trade ReviewThis unique book explores the ineffable essence of the spirits through an amazing and varied set of stories which stimulate the reader to a deeper understanding of this aspect of the heritage of Chinese medicine. As always, John Hamwee writes with fluidity and skill making the book a joy to read. -- Alison Gould, BA, Msc, MBAcC, AcupuncturistAs a practitioner of Chinese Medicine, I found that reviewing this book was not just a matter of overviewing the text, but also a learning experience, in which things I already knew were presented in such a way as to provide a different level of understanding. -- The HerbalistTable of ContentsIntroduction: Spirit. 1.

Book SynopsisThe older traditional human anatomical textbooks included numerous anatomical eponyms. This was a desire to perpetuate the memory of original investigators by associating their names with the anatomical structures that they had discovered. The current trends in most medical school curricula have reduced the subject matter in Human Anatomy to its barest essentials with the elimination of all eponyms. Both students and teachers are now deprived of learning the history associated with many of the former great anatomists. The objective of this book is therefore to introduce eponyms with pictures or plates depicting the investigator for which the anatomical structure is named. Only the more common eponyms associated with the various anatomical systems of the human body are included.

But what does it mean? Matt Ridley’s Genome is the book that explains it all: what it is, how it works, and what it portends for the futureArguably the most significant scientific discovery of the new century, the mapping of the twenty-three pairs of chromosomes that make up the human genome raises almost as many questions as it answers. Questions that will profoundly impact the way we think about disease, about longevity, and about free will. Questions that will affect the rest

Book SynopsisThis book is about empowerment for chronic pain patients and care providers alike. Every chronic pain condition has a treatable myofascial trigger point component, including fibromyalgia. Many of the localized symptoms now considered as fibromyalgia are actually due to trigger points. The central sensitization of fibromyalgia amplifies symptoms that trigger points cause, and this book teaches care providers and patients how to identify and treat those causes.   Chronic myofascial pain due to trigger points can be body-wide, and can cause or maintain fibromyalgia central sensitization. Trigger points can cause and/or maintain or contribute to many types of pain and dysfunction, including numbness and tingling, fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome, plantar fasciitis, osteoarthritis, cognitive dysfunctions and disorientation, impotence, incontinence, loss of voice, pelvic pain, muscle weakness, menstrual pain, TMJ dysfunction, shortness of breath, and many symptoms attributed to old age or "atypical" or psychological sources.   Trigger point therapy has been around for decades, but only recently have trigger points been imaged at the Mayo Clinic and National Institutes of Health. Their ubiquity and importance is only now being recognized.   Devin Starlanyl is a medically trained chronic myofascial pain and fibromyalgia researcher and educator, as well as a patient with both of these conditions. She has provided chronic pain education and support to thousands of patients and care providers around the world for decades. John Sharkey is a physiologist with more than twenty-seven years of anatomy experience, and the director of a myofascial pain facility. Together they have written a comprehensive reference to trigger point treatment to help patients with fibromyalgia, myofascial pain, and many other conditions.   This guide will be useful for all types of doctors, nurses, therapists, bodyworkers, and lay people, facilitating communication between care providers and patients and empowering patients who now struggle with all kinds of misunderstood and unexplained symptoms.   Part 1 explains what trigger points are and how they generate symptoms, refer pain and other symptoms to other parts of the body, and create a downward spiral of dysfunction. The authors look at the interconnection between fibromyalgia and myofascial trigger points and their possible causes and symptoms; identify stressors that perpetuate trigger points such as poor posture, poor breathing habits, nutritional inadequacies, lack of sleep, and environmental and psychological factors; and provide a list of over one hundred pain symptoms and their most common corresponding trigger point sources.   Part 2 describes the sites of trigger points and their referral patterns within each region of the body, and provides pain relief solutions for fibromyalgia and trigger point patients and others with debilitating symptoms. Pain treatment plans include both self-help remedies for the patient—stretching or postural exercises, self-massage techniques and prevention strategies—as well as diagnostic and treatment hints for care providers.   Part 3 offers guidance for both patients and care providers in history taking, examination, and palpation skills, as well as treatment options. It offers a vision for the future that includes early assessment, adequate medical training, prevention of fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis, changes to chronic pain management and possible solutions to the health care crisis, and a healthier version of our middle age and golden years, asserting that patients have a vital role to play in the management of their own health.

Book SynopsisA book about how people and machines work together, and how we design machines to replicate and amplify what we can do ourselves.Trade Review"Vogel writes with his typical, easy-as-pi style that epitomizes his intense curiosity for all things round. Gear up to read topics revolving around tools, toys, machines, and even animals. Ever the spokesman for experiments, Vogel goes full circle by ending with an appendix filled with DIY physical models. Whether you're a tinkerer in the garage, an inquisitive self-educator, or a budding biomechanist, this page-turner will round out your knowledge of circular motion." --Anna Ahn, Harvey Mudd College "A revolution about revolutions, Why the Wheel Is Round is Vogel's microhistory of humans doing what doesn't come naturally: creating and powering rotational tools and machines. To make muscle-powered rotary machinery -- querns, bow drills, whims, lathes, and horse ferries -- requires the invention of axels, cranks, and ropes. How this clever technology works, and why it works the way it does, is revealed clearly through the lens of biomechanics. Vogel is fascinated by spins, turns, and twists, and his enthusiasm for the artifacts around us is more than infectious. He incites an urge to invent and build, and, fortunately, includes instructions for doing so. Happiness runs in a circular motion." --John Long, author of Darwin's Devices: What Evolving Robots Can Teach Us about the History of Life and the Future of Technology "Reading this book, I found myself being pulled along by the curiosity of Vogel as he connects the power provided by the muscles of humans and animals with the immense variety of rotating objects invented over the course of human history. Despite the book's title, wheels are only one part of the story. Firmly grounded in Vogel's deep understanding of physical principles, the book is as informative as it is entertaining." --Richard Marsh, Brown University

Book SynopsisTrade Review"Murphy has gathered a huge amount of research material on longevity, giving the book a tone of meticulous authority" * Kirkus Reviews *"[An] informative deep dive into the research behind living longer and the aging process."---Tom Wilk, New Jersey Monthly"Meticulous. . . . [Murphy's] sweep is vast as she discourses on diet, exercise, insulin signaling and the genes that affect longevity. In her final, superb chapters, she takes on the associations between the human microbiome and cognitive deterioration, wrapping up with a look ahead to emerging drug therapies."---Hamilton Cain, Wall Street Journal"In How We Age, geneticist Coleen Murphy provides no silver bullets for remaining youthful. Rather, she offers a scholarly account of the state of ageing research that is both lively and personal. She also gives real insight into the ups and downs of leading a research laboratory. . . . How We Age will be particularly useful to researchers, but it should also appeal to general readers who want to know what it took to arrive at the current understanding of ageing — and the prospects of undergoing it in better shape."---Linda Partridge, Nature
