Book Synopsis"Love, Zac is not just a vital contribution to the national conversation about traumatic brain injury in athletes, it’s so beautifully written it belongs on the shelf alongside classic works of literary journalism.” —Jeanne Marie Laskas, New York Times bestselling author of Concussion In December 2015, Zac Easter, a twenty-four-year-old from small-town Iowa, decided to take his own life rather than continue his losing battle against traumatic brain injuries he had sustained as a high school football player and which led him to develop chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). For this deeply reported and powerfully moving true story, award-winning writer Reid Forgrave was given access to Zac’s own diaries and was able to speak with Zac’s family, friends, and coaches. He explores Zac’s tight-knit, football-obsessed Midwestern community; he interviews leading brain scientists, psychologists, and sports historians; he takes a deep dive into the triumphs and sins of the sports entertainment industry; and he shows us the fallout from the traditional notions of manhood that football instills. For parents wondering about whether to allow their kids to play football, for players, former players, and fans, for anyone concerned about concussions and sports, this eye-opening, heart-wrenching, and ultimately inspiring story may be one of the most important books they will read.Trade Review“What an accomplishment. Brimming with compassion and insight, Reid Forgrave has written an artful and intimate portrait of a former high school football star that travels ambitiously into themes of masculinity, suffering, and the nature of a national obsession. Love, Zac is not just a vital contribution to the national conversation about traumatic brain injury in athletes, it’s so beautifully written it belongs on the shelf alongside classic works of literary journalism.” —Jeanne Marie Laskas, New York Times bestselling author of Concussion “Sportswriter Forgrave stuns in this moving debut . . . This unflinching exposé is one anyone who loves the sport should pick up.” —Publishers Weekly “The concussion epidemic has spread devastation to players in the less visible strata of the sport, especially to high school players like Zac Easter. Love, Zac shows the totality of that damage in full. Someone should staple this book to Roger Goodell’s forehead.” —Drew Magary, author of The Hike and The Postmortal “An essential work of sports reporting, Love, Zac explores the dark side of small-town football culture and the warning signs of CTE, interspersed with passages from Zac’s diary and interviews with his family and friends.” —New York Post “An intelligent, provocative tale that will give pause to many parents of football players at any level.” —Kirkus Reviews“A tragic, moving story that will linger with readers of sports and biographies in general.” —Library Journal “A heartbreaking biography [that] underscores the moral ambiguity of supporting life-threatening sports.” —Shelf Awareness “A monumental achievement of deep reporting and expert storytelling. One question echoes from every page of this book: What happened to Zac Easter? In seeking the answers, Reid Forgrave has written a detective story, a love story, and a parable about football, pain and the consequences of the bedrock version of American masculinity.” —Michael Sokolove, author of The Last Temptation of Rick Pitino and Drama High “An in-depth exploration not only of football and its risks, but of the empty-calorie culture into which we are driving young men. It will leave you unable to ever watch a football game—at any level—the same way again.” —Brian Alexander, author of Glass House

Book SynopsisChildren love to play in riskyoften misunderstood to mean unsafeways. It is often how they learn. Research shows that activities like climbing on trees and boulders, hiking in nature, and playing in a creek are excellent ways for kids to develop their creativity and their senses, because playing outdoors evokes different sights, sounds, smells, and textures.Letting Play Bloom analyzes five outstanding case studies of children's nature-based risky play spacesthe Slide Hill at Governors Island in New York, the Berkeley (CA) Adventure Playground, and Wildwoods at Fernbank Museum in Atlanta, as well as sites in the Netherlands and Australia. Author Lolly Tai provides detailed explanations of their background and design, and what visitors can experience at each site.She also outlines the six categories of riskynot hazardousplay, which involve great heights, rapid speeds, dangerous tools, dangerous elements, rough-and-tumble play, and wandering or getting lost. These activities allow childreTrade Review“Lolly Tai’s beautiful book reminds me how fortunate I was growing up building forts and tree houses in the nearby woods, engaging in ‘risky play.’ In this increasingly urbanized world, more and more children have limited opportunities to play in the wild. Letting Play Bloom inspires us by thoroughly documenting the creation of five exemplary playgrounds. These play spaces provide examples of how we can create challenging environments that will foster children’s development through the transformative aspects of nature.”—Andrea Cochran, Fellow of the American Society of Landscape Architects“For far too long we have been constrained by regulations that inhibit creative design, resulting in too many places that inhibit creative play. Letting Play Bloom is beautiful, thoughtful, and delightful to read—and combined with all the recent technical and cultural advances in the practice of landscape architecture, it should lead us into a new era where we are designing places for children that exceed our wildest dreams. Letting Play Bloom is the book I’ve long been waiting for.”—W. Gary Smith, Fellow of the American Society of Landscape Architects, and author of From Art to Landscape: Unleashing Creativity in Garden Design"Letting Play Bloom artfully presents issues in balancing creative—some say risky—free play with imagination and safety. It importantly differentiates risky from unsafe play and offers examples from around the world. Five extensive case studies, illustrated with analysis, plans, and beautiful images, explore the process of designing successful nature-based risky play areas. From the creative materials of Adventure Playground to the nature-based de Speeldernis and designed landscape of Slide Hill, readers will learn from exemplary (and fun!) projects."—Mark A. Focht, Past-President of the American Society of Landscape Architects“Lolly Tai’s Letting Play Bloom pulls back the curtain on designing for risky play—and moves the conversation from why to how. The five unique case studies provide a sampling of blueprints that will empower anyone who designs public spaces to enhance the relevance of their work for children and families. I highly recommend this book.”—Erin Marteal, Executive Director of the Ithaca Children’s Garden"In this colorful book, Tai details two important themes in scholarship on child's play: nature-based play and risky play. She examines five world-famous public playgrounds in depth.... With more than 200 color photographs this scholarly but accessible text will be a welcome resource for a range of readers, including but not limited to landscape artists, those involved with regulatory apparatuses, and advocates of free play and imaginative play.... [T]his is a solid addition to the literature on playgrounds, a growing genre, and for anyone interested in public playgrounds worldwide.... Summing Up: Recommended."—Choice"Letting Play Bloom offers [Tai's] most important observations yet around the particularly necessary and increasingly rare type known as risky play.... [T]he book is a solid resource for any landscape architect practicing in this area."—Landscape Architecture Magazine

Book SynopsisThis important book is the result of a study of school curriculum undertaken by a joint committee of the University of Toronto and the Board of Education for the City of Toronto. Three sub-committees, dealing with English, Social Science, and Physical Science, here present preliminary reports which indicate the need for perpetual study if the school curriculum is to be kept abreast of modern developments in each discipline.Committee members responsible for the reports are themselves elementary, secondary or university teachers of experience. Their recommendations, embracing all grades up to and including Thirteen, are specific, stimulating and controversial. They are unanimous only in their concern that necessary changes be made and that study of the curriculum be continuous and objective.The reports are prefaced by a discerning essay written by Northrop Frye, Principal Frye points out that "the real barriers to break down were those between the three major divisions o

Book SynopsisWho is the first female athlete you admired? Were male and female athletes treated differently in your high school? Is there a natural limit to women's athletic ability? How has Title IX opened up opportunities for women athletes?Every semester since 1996, Bonnie Morris has encouraged students to confront questions like these in one of the most provocative college courses in America: Athletics and Gender, A History of Women's Sports. What's the Score?, Morris's energetic teaching memoir, is a peek inside that class and features a decades-long dialogue with student athletes about the greater opportunities for women—on the playing field, as coaches, and in sports media. From corsets to segregated schoolyards to the WNBA, we find women athletes the world over conquering unique barriers to success.What's the Score? is not only an insider's look at sports education but also an engaging guide to turning points in women's sports history that everyone should know.Trade ReviewWhat do gender and sports fandom have to do with the American and global social and political landscape? As historian Bonnie J. Morris (The Disappearing L) writes, despite progress with women's rights, we still 'don't expect women to initiate, share, participate in, or pass along sports literacy. In other words, except on a few annual occasions, we don't expect women to know the score.' In response to this gendered cultural gap and the lack of a conversation around it, Morris created a course called Athletics and Gender, which she taught for 25 years at several universities, including George Washington University and UC Berkeley. This year marks the 50th anniversary of Title IX, and What's the Score? takes readers into Morris's classroom, reflecting on the social and cultural changes that shaped discussions with students and stakeholders over the years. Morris describes her book not as a 'complete or formal history of women's sports' but a 'memoir of teaching and a template for teaching, drawing from remembered and successful best practices to pass on.' She shares how the course was created and developed over time, along with insights from her students and how the conversation around sports and gender is pertinent to a large variety of undergraduate fields. This invaluable resource for sports fans also includes three versions of the syllabus and a wealth of additional information, including reading materials, documentaries and various legal and sports timelines. -- Michelle Anya Anjirbag * Shelf Awareness *Table of ContentsTimeline: 101 Turning Points in Women's Sports HistoryPrologue: The Bus Ride before the GameIntroduction: Nothing Better to Do on a Friday Night?1.

Book SynopsisEducational gymnastics is a field that differs from traditional gymnastics. Instead of a focus on developing skills in which all students are expected to develop at the same rate, educational gymnastics provides learning experiences that are designed to meet children at their skill level and expand skills within their level of competence. Educational gymnastics centers on balance as a lifelong skill, on self-responsibility, and on respect for self and others.Educational Gymnastics for Children takes a child-centered approach to offering highly applied and safe learning experiences as it provides readers with the theoretical foundation and practical application of educational gymnastics for all elementary students. Written by two physical education professionals who have years of experience providing these learning experiences to children in elementary physical education programs, the text offers the following: Gymnastics learning experiences for elementary physical education, most requiring no gymnastics equipment Detailed safety measures for all learning experiences to ensure a safe environment Assessment strategies to enhance student learning A child-centered approach to engage all students in a noncompetitive environment that encourages variety in student response and success for all students, thus fostering social-emotional learning and self-worth The learning experiences in the text provide a clear understanding of the skills and concepts being taught and come with an easy-to-follow template for teachers. Many of the learning experiences require no equipment; mats are added for safety as the task difficulty increases. A single chapter has been devoted to use of equipment (e.g., boxes, ladders, horizontal bars, climbing frames).Learning ExperiencesThe learning experiences in the text are presented as a progression based on the development of children, both physically and cognitively. Each series of learning experiences is preceded by a cognitive focus, a skill focus, criteria for quality, and information on safety, equipment, and organization to maximize participation and learning. Teaching tips are offered throughout to help teachers develop lesson plans to fit the needs of their students.OrganizationEducational Gymnastics for Children is organized into three parts. Part I presents the theoretical background for educational gymnastics, comparing it to traditional gymnastics. This part explains how educational gymnastics meets children at their skill level and expands their skills within their level of competence. The components of balance are explored, and these chapters explain how to create a learning environment that is student centered, success oriented, and safe.Part II presents learning experiences that will help children develop a functional understanding of the components of educational gymnastics. This part explores the skills of balance, weight transfer, and travel. It offers individual and partner sequences, both with and without equipment.Part III addresses two vital questions for teachers: What is your goal for the children you teach? How do you know they have accomplished that goal? Standards and assessments are examined in this part.Lifelong SkillsEducational Gymnastics for Children provides teachers with the content and teaching strategies they need to provide students a quality program of educational gymnastics—and to acquire some lifelong skills along the way.Table of ContentsPart I.

Book SynopsisRacism is a sickness that permeates every aspect of Black life. But if the events of the past few years have taught us anything, it is that America has a hard time talking about issues that create disparity and inequality for Black people.This inequality extends not just into education but also into physical education. Blacks are stereotyped as physically superior and intellectually deficient. They are marginalized in PE just as they are in other aspects of their lives.Through a series of case studies, Critical Race Studies in Physical Education offers deep insights into the issues that Black students face. The text, geared to undergraduate and graduate PETE students and in-service teachers, does the following: Provides culturally aware teaching strategies that affirm the worth of Black students Amplifies the crucial issues that negatively affect Black students Addresses the litany of intentional and covert racist practices directed toward Black youth, thus broadening the book’s value beyond the sharing of teaching strategies The end goal is to elevate the perspectives of Black youths and teachers and to normalize positive experiences for Black students in physical education.To do so, Critical Race Studies in Physical Education provides the following: Eight case studies of situations that expose racism, disparities, and other issues affecting Black students’ well-being, self-worth, and healthy experiences in PE Critical race study discourse that stimulates discussion of relevant issues and enhances learning Reflective activities, resources, lesson considerations, and definitions to help students and in-service teachers use what they have learned through the case studies and discussions Each case study includes discussion and reflection prompts that are meant to lead the way to effective strategies and immediate implementation opportunities. Here is a partial list of the case studies: A white elementary student uses the N-word toward a Black teacher A Black female student endures gendered racism and racial disparities through her swimming experiences A white teacher is oblivious to why her Black students don’t want to be outside in the sunshine or get their hair moist A new PE teacher harbors toxic masculinity, white supremacy, and stereotypes of Black sexuality White student teachers grapple with accepting job offers in an urban area Black students need teachers to engage in anti-racist teaching practices that empower Black youth and aid in their success. For this to happen, teachers need to affirm students and make them feel safe, cared for, listened to, and recognized as worthy.Critical Race Studies in Physical Education will help teachers of all races adopt the teaching practices that create this supportive, empathetic, and nurturing environment—and, in doing so, validate Black students’ self-worth and swing the pendulum back toward a more equitable education in PE.Table of ContentsCase Study 1.

Book SynopsisWhile there are plenty of texts out there on adapted physical activity, there are none like this one. That’s because Adapted Physical Activity Across the Life Span takes an interdisciplinary, life span approach that other texts either skim over or skip entirely. With this approach, the text provides content on DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion), social justice, and SEL (social-emotional learning).Adapted Physical Activity Across the Life Span features the following: An interdisciplinary and life span approach to show students the broad scope of careers across education, clinical, and community settings Interviews with professionals that provide students with real-life stories from educators, allied health care professionals, coaches, and others who work with people with disabilities Information about adapted physical activity for early childhood, with a focus on professions that help a young child with a disability begin their journey of adapted physical education Content on adapted physical education for children and young people to educate students in the full implementation of IDEA and general physical education for children with disabilities, including interdisciplinary assessments, IEPs, and program modifications Content on adapted physical activity for adults to enable students to understand the roles of various professions that facilitate adapted physical activity for adults—from those who recently finished high school to senior citizens—using the Healthy People guidelines, research, best practices, and the most contemporary model of aging Chapter objectives, chapter summaries, tables, and charts that emphasize key concepts Instructor ancillaries to make it easier for instructors to prepare for and teach the course The interdisciplinary approach provides instructors greater flexibility for courses that include students not only from adapted physical education and general physical education but also from allied health professions: occupational therapy, physical therapy, speech and language pathology, nursing, medicine, sport psychology, exercise physiology, therapeutic recreation, and more. “Today, the interdisciplinary nature of service in adapted physical activity begins in the earliest ages and continues with professionals who instruct and nurture the physical activity of the oldest of our communities,” says coauthor Carol Leitschuh. “This is the life span approach.” Coauthor Marquell Johnson adds, “The interdisciplinary approach and life span approach provide a much wider view of helping people with disabilities achieve optimal health. Most texts focus on a narrower perspective, such as in school, in a medical or community setting, or with a certain age group. However, this book looks at all the professions that are involved in a person’s life throughout the life span and offers a coordinated approach.”Adapted Physical Activity Across the Life Span will help prepare future professionals to serve individuals who require adaptations to be able to enjoy full and healthy active lives over their lifetimes. From infants to the elderly, all across the life span, people can be physically active—and this text will help them be just that. Table of ContentsPart I. Overview and ScopeChapter 1.

Book SynopsisPhysically active children experience healthier growth and development. They are less likely to be overweight. They learn more effectively and manage their behavior better. Yet many classroom teachers offer little or no time for physical activity because they feel pressed for time, space, and equipment.That’s where Promoting Elementary School Physical Activity: Ideas for Enjoyable Active Learning comes in.This text provides K-5 classroom teachers and physical educators with simple, creative strategies and activities that have proven successful in schools and that are suitable for all children. The ideas are practical, accessible, and backed by research that supports the benefits of physical activity in the classroom. They are also flexible—meaning the authors present guidance and options for modifying activities, so teachers can choose what works best for their students. Most activities can be carried out in small spaces or within an existing classroom setup.Promoting Elementary School Physical Activity offers a total of 50 ready-to-use activities in four categories: Classroom physical activity breaks Physically active instruction Recess Enhanced physical education The games and activities afford schools the opportunity to emphasize physical activity throughout the day. The activities are easy to fit into the curriculum at any and all points, including before and after school. Little or no equipment is needed; for the few activities that require equipment, suggestions are provided to make simple equipment from everyday materials. In addition, most chapters offer quick tips to help teachers overcome any challenges that might come up with the activities in that section, and many chapters come with an infographic that shows or describes the benefits of the activity for the topic being discussed.Promoting Elementary School Physical Activity is organized into three parts: Part I, Classroom Physical Activity, offers ideas for integrating classroom physical activity breaks, incorporating physical activity into academic instruction, taking advantage of recess, and creating a physically active classroom. Part II, Physical Education, is written specifically for the physical education teacher. It provides simple strategies for getting students moving throughout physical education class, connecting them to physical activity resources in the school and community, and facilitating lifelong physical activity. Part III, The Physically Active School, presents more options for student physical activity, including ideas for before- and after-school programs and physically active transport to and from school. It also focuses on the importance of the physical environment, physical activity policies, physical activity practices, and social environment. The comprehensive school physical activity program is explored as a tool to organize and coordinate the physical activity opportunities presented throughout this book. This practical guide makes it easy for teachers to bring the fun of physical activity—along with its academic, social, and health benefits—to their K-5 students.Table of ContentsPart I.

Book SynopsisEvery school wants to be inclusive. But often children on the autism spectrum are left behind when it comes to participating in physical education and becoming physically literate—in part because many physical educators feel unprepared to include children on the spectrum in class activities. That’s where Active Games for Children on the Autism Spectrum comes in.Theoretical Framework, Games, and Lesson PlansThis text provides both the adaptive framework teachers need and more than 80 games to help children on the spectrum take part in physical activity, learn from games, and enjoy being active.Beyond the framework and games, the book will help physical educators, parents and caregivers, and others develop the courage, competence, and confidence they need to teach and help children on the autism spectrum.Active Games for Children on the Autism Spectrum offers an exploration of the ABCs of physical literacy (agility, balance, coordination, and speed); breakdowns of 16 specific skills, including fundamental movement skills, bike riding, skateboarding or scootering, swimming, and ice skating 22 games to practice the ABCs and skills; 30 single equipment games using Hula-Hoops, bean bags, scarves, rubber balls, gator balls, and racquets and balloons; 29 lesson plans for target games, net and wall games, striking and fielding games, and invasion games using the Teaching Games for Understanding approach; 21 bonus games to practice what is learned in the lessons; 14 warm-up and sport skill games; 4 warm-up games to be used in an inclusive class; and 1 sample home or gym fitness program. Games Are Easy to Use and PurposefulThe games are easy to use, with clear instruction on how to effectively teach movement skills to all students, including those on the spectrum. The games are active, enjoyable, and imbued with purpose. They are accessible to anyone working with children on the autism spectrum in school, at home, or in other settings.What Sets This Book ApartWhat sets this text apart from similar books is its wealth of theoretical and practical content beyond the games. Its focus on physical activity, wellness, health, inclusion, and physical literacy in a wide variety of environments, along with its foundational content, makes Active Games for Children on the Autism Spectrum highly valuable to both experienced and inexperienced teachers, as well as parents and others working with children with autism.

Book SynopsisSports science is a field that focus on the way human body functions during activity, and how sport and physical workout leads to general wellbeing and performance of the body. Sports science customarily focuses on aspects of physiology, biomechanics, organic chemistry, biokinetics, psychology and anatomy. Through scientific sport studies, specialists have fostered a more prominent understanding of how the human body responds to workout, various conditions and numerous different stimuli. The 'sport' part incorporates the assessment of performance, teaching, managing and administering, and the effect of sport on an individual. The 'activity' part of sports science incorporates examination of the positive and protection effect of sports on a wide scope of major physical and psychological well-being conditions, including inertia, weight, diabetes, malignant growth, cardiovascular recovery, and despondency. At the center of sports science is a comprehension of how our bodies respond, react, and adjust to activity. Sports science is deductively thorough and gives athletes an exhaustive outline of physiological, mental and biomechanical processes associated with physical workout.
