Taylor & Francis Routledge International Handbook of Golf Science
Book SynopsisGolf is one of the worldâs major sports and consequently the focus of world-class scientific research. This landmark publication is the most comprehensive book ever published on the science of golf, covering every sub-discipline from physiology, biomechanics and psychology to strength and conditioning, youth development and equipment design. Showcasing original research from leading golf scientists across the globe, it examines the fundamental science underpinning the game and demonstrates how it can be applied in practice to improve and develop players. Each chapter provides a definitive account of the current state of knowledge in a particular area of golf science, addressing the limitations of existing research, presenting new areas for development and discussing the implications for coaches, players, scientists and the wider golfing public. Truly international in scope, the variety of topics explored include: biomechanics and equipment Trade Review‘Over the last 20 years, golf at the highest level has moved from a game to a sport. The highest standards of preparation and the professionalism of the athlete have become increasingly important determinants of success. Today you hear far more emphasis on preparing to succeed and performance development than technical coaching. This is more apparent now than at any time in the history of the sport. The margins between success and failure are becoming finer and so understanding the "science" of golf is key to anyone involved in playing or developing players - as this outstanding book explains.’ - Martin Slumbers, Chief Executive, The R&A ‘The Routledge International Handbook of Golf Science provides an extraordinary perspective on our sport through 39 separate research papers. By covering biomechanics, participation, skill acquisition, performance and the health benefits of golf, this is a valuable, data-driven resource.’ - Steve Mona, CEO, World Golf Foundation Table of ContentsEditor's Introduction [Martin Toms].

Taylor & Francis Ltd Mollusks and Marine Environments of the Ten
Book SynopsisMollusks and Marine Environments of the Ten Thousand Islands provides the first comprehensive overview of the shells and habitats that are present in the last unexplored coastal area of southwestern Florida. The mysterious and primordial Ten Thousand Islands, where the rivers and marshlands of the Everglades empty into the Gulf of Mexico, house a number of remarkable marine ecosystems, many shown here in detail for the first time. Primary among these are unique worm shell reef systems, composed entirely of immense masses of vermetid gastropod mollusks. These previously unexplored and unstudied gastropod reefs, which are often many acres in size, are shown here to mimic coral reefs in their growth structure and represent the only large-scale molluscan reefs found anywhere on Earth. Living in association with the zonated gastropod reefs are a number of rare and unusual mollusks, some of which represent endemic species that are unique to the Ten Thousand Islands. TheseTrade ReviewThere is nothing like this book, and there is a tremendous need for more documentation of the ecology of the Ten Thousand Islands, both for its own sake as part of the environmental record, but also due to looming effects of sea level rise. The entire region is extremely vulnerable to ecological change due to climate change and many of the areas, environments, and species Petuch and Berschauer document will likely be impacted in the next 20 years. The photographs are incredible, and provide a very useful reference for shell identification. This book will be an essential reference for a wide range of scholars and advocational malacologists, including archaeologists.-- Traci Ardren, Professor of Anthropology and Interim Chair, University of Miami, USAThis book is written in the traditions and standards of the popular nature guides, and it exceeds these standards! It covers everything from mollusks to birds and raccoons, so should be of interest not only to biologists, ecologists, and shell collectors, but also to the general public. It describes everything well without being overwhelmingly technical, appealing to many readers, of all ages, interested in nature and coastal environments. The large number of color photographs and plates provide a great visual guide to the contents of the book, and the iconography parts will be very useful for identification of mollusks. -- Anton Oleinik, Department of Geosciences, Florida Atlantic UniversityI am a social scientist, and I rely on books such as these for the broader context of the questions that I explore regarding the nature of human use of these aquatic environments and the species that dwell within them. Oftentimes, relevant species and habitat specific information is difficult to find and oftentimes it is out of date. Therefore, having a resource such as this is invaluable to someone like me, as well as being a key source for those in the life sciences!-- Victor D.

Reaktion Books Stand Up Straight!: A History of Posture
Book SynopsisOur bodies are not fixed; they change over time. They vary with alterations in diet, exercise and illness, and shift as we age. Our attitudes to bodies, and especially to posture - how people hold themselves, how they move - are also fluid. Our stance and gait are interpreted as healthy or ill, able or disabled, elegant or slovenly, beautiful or ugly. In Stand Up Straight!: A History of Posture Sander L. Gilman probes these shifting concepts of posture to show how society views who we are and what we are able to do by how our bodies appear. From Neanderthal man to modern humans, Gilman shows how we have used our understanding of posture to define who we are - and who we are not. The book traverses theology and anthropology, medicine and politics, and ranges from discarded ideas of race to the most modern ideas of disability, and from theories of dance to concepts of national identity. Interweaving the history of posture with our developing knowledge of anatomy and cultural history, and fully illustrated with an array of striking images, Stand Up Straight! is the first comprehensive history of the upright body at rest and in movement.
