Shambhala Publications Inc Still Running: The Art of Meditation in Motion
Book SynopsisLearn how to bring the power of stillness into your running practice with meditations, guidance, and inspiration from a long-time runner and Zen practitioner.Running is more than just exercise. Running is a practice, a moving meditation, that brings the power of stillness to all the activities in our lives. Vanessa Zuisei Goddard combines her experience leading running retreats with her two-decade practice of Zen to offer insight, humor, and practical guidance for grounding our running, or any physical practice, in meditation. When we see running solely as exercise and focus on improving our times, covering a certain number of miles, or losing weight, we miss the deeper implications of this art. Whether you are a new or experienced runner, you will learn how to be more embodied through thirteen running practices to help improve your focus and running form. Using mantras and visualizations, as well as a range of other exercises, Goddard offers ways to practice running as a moving meditation with an eye toward bringing the power of stillness to all the activities in your life. Ultimately, Still Running is a book about freedom, ease, and the joy of movement; it''s about the power of stillness and learning how to use that power to live wholeheartedly.

Columbia University Press From Ritual to Record
Book SynopsisOriginally published in 1978, this book was one of the first to recognize the importance of sports as a lens on the fundamental structure of societies. In this reissue, Guttmann emphasizes the many ways that modern sports, dramatically different from the sports of previous eras, have profoundly shaped contemporary life.Trade ReviewA pioneering work in a field remarkably little touched... For any future writer about the philosophy or the sociology of sport in general, this book will be required reading. -- Julian Symons Times Literary Supplement The chief advantage that Guttmann has over other sports theoreticians is a willingness to employ the techniques of modern rhetoric in creating some order out of the ideological confusion now swirling around his subject. He is a definer, a synthesizer, a causal analyst, as well as an arguer and a counter-arguer. Virginia Quarterly [Guttmann's] lucid, original, stimulating, blessedly jargon-free book does something to lighten our darkness. His pleasant, incisive style reflects a mind uncluttered by prejudice or ideology. -- Brian Glanville London Sunday TimesTable of ContentsPlay, Games, Contests, SportsFrom Ritual to RecordCapitalism, Protestantism, and Modern SportWhy Baseball Was Our National GameThe Fascination of FootballIndividualism ReconsideredConclusionAfterword.

North Atlantic Books,U.S. Wandering Along the Way of Okinawan Karate:
Book SynopsisA personal, philosophical, and historical exploration of Okinawan Goju-Ryu karate written by an experienced master.In Wandering Along the Way of Okinawan Karate, Giles Hopkins draws on his fifty years of martial arts experience to take the reader on a journey through the meaning of kata (form) and bunkai (application) in Okinawan Goju-Ryu karate. Hopkins offers his personal reflections on the enigma of karate kata while explaining many of its little-understood applications. With skill and insight into kata''s connection to nature, the book addresses key topics such as why some movements are done slowly while others are fast, the significance of steps and turns, and the role of tradition in karate. The purpose of kata solo patterns is to solidify specific self-defense techniques. Contrary to the commonly held belief that kata techniques can have multiple interpretations, Hopkins argues that kata embodies specific martial principles that must be followed rigorously for it to be truly effective. He also reveals the spiritual dimensions of martial arts by explaining its deep connection to nature. Providing new understanding of kata structure, themes, and martial art principles, Hopkins sheds light on the practitioner''s journey.

Oxford University Press Inc Good Sport
Book SynopsisWhy are fiberglass vaulting poles and hinged skates accepted in sport - while performance-enhancing drugs are forbidden? Are the rules that forbid them arbitrary? Should we level the playing field by allowing all competitors to use drugs that allow them to run faster or longer, leap higher, or lift more? In this provocative exploration of what draws us to sport as participants and spectators, Thomas Murray argues that the values and meanings embedded within our games provide the guidance we need to make difficult decisions about fairness and performance-enhancing technologies.Good Sport reveals what we really care about in sport and how the reckless use of biomedical enhancements undermines those values. Implicit in sports history, rules, and practices are values that provide a sturdy foundation for an ethics of sport that celebrates natural talents and dedication. You see these values when the Paralympics creates multiple level playing fields among athletes with different kinds of impTrade ReviewA must read for anyone who works in anti-doping, but readers from disciplines such as bioethics and public health ethics may find it equally interesting. Doping is not restricted to sports. The growing demand by the healthy for cognitive and performance enhancement, for example in education and at work, presents similar challenges for society. Some of Murray's ethical considerations and lessons around doping might, in his own words, "help us deal sensibly and wisely with promises of technological enhancement in other realms of human life. * Canadian Journal of Bioethics *[It] offers a flowing defence of anti-doping values grounded in examples designed to test and develop our intuitions on certain key questions. It achieves its key aims of clearly articulating a defence of anti-doping policy and of encouraging us to engage with central questions as to what we admire in elite athletes. It will be of general interest as these questions are so central to sport and its rules and regulations today. * Nordic Sports Studies Forum *The book successfully maintains the delicate balance required of any applied piece of ethics and philosophy. It demonstrates a careful understanding and engagement with the problems facing sport and sport policy makers with regard to doping... results in a thoroughly readable, flowing style... It will be of general interest as these questions are so central to sport and its rules and regulations today. * Andrew Bloodworth, idrottsforum.org *Murray uses elite athlete's voices and case studies along with other evidence to create a well-sourced and referenced, accessible text that will be of interest to a wide range of scholars. ... Recommended. All readers. * A. Curtis, Choice *By focusing on what we really prize in athletics, Good Sport provides a framework for how to think about sports and artificial enhancement that celebrates achievement and identifies shortcuts as what they are: tools for undermining our values. * John Feinstein, author of A Season on the Brink, and A Good Walk Spoiled *This is just the book one might expect from Tom Murray, who shows that sport is rich in values and meanings that are worth preserving. It is thoughtful, incisive, clearly written, and does not shy away from any of the difficult issues affecting sport. * Dick Pound, former President of the World Anti-Doping Agency and vice-president of the International Olympic Committee *Murray adeptly distills the complex art and science that has shaped the anti-doping program's determined pursuit of fairness. Through the adroit use of tangible examples in sports history, he connects the dots between anti-doping and pro-humanity arguments. By the conclusion of this journey, Murray's authoritative voice helps us discover that they are indeed one and the same. * Doug Glanville, Baseball Analyst, Author, Speaker, and Former MLB Player *Tom Murray is one of the world's leading sport ethicists. His work has been admired and used by many engaged in sport integrity. This book weaves together his vast experiences into a work of significance. The first of its genre to be published, it is a wonderful book which will be hugely beneficial internationally. * David Howman, former Executive Director, World Anti-Doping Agency *A tour de force on sports performance enhancement and how to think about it. Sorting through fundamental questions like 'What is natural?' Murray gives the reader a field guide in science and ethics that is required reading for anyone with an interest in the potential of the human body. * Sally Jenkins, author and columnist, Washington Post *Good Sport is a moving exploration of issues involving doping and the deeper meaning of sports. The book combines facts, real-life examples and a passion for what we love and appreciate about sports, in order to mount a powerful argument for clean sport. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in sports doping or who cares about sports in general. * Gary Green, MD, Medical Director, Major League Baseball *Tom Murray confronts the growing nihilism about sports doping with an exceptional appeal rooted in the value of sport itself. To the question of, "Why not just let them all dope?" he answers with reason and a moral clarity that has been missing from the public conversation. * T.J.

The authors discuss the macro- and micro-nutrient requirements that must be followed by the athlete, depending on the athlete's total daily energy expenditure, the type of sport, their gender and environmental conditions. Subsequently, the components of a proper bike fit are explored, focusing on the three interfaces a human has with a bike: foot-pedal, pelvis-saddle, and hands-handlebar. Equipment needs, bike anatomy, and the process of performing a bike fit are reviewed.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Estimating Future Recreational Demand
Book SynopsisThe purpose of this book is to help practitioners assess recreation demand in their routine administration and planning processes and to help decision makers make better and more defensible decisions. The estimation of recreation demand is a decision based upon sound professional judgement and due consideration of many information sources and factors. The field of decision science has determined that humans need analytical structure and tools to best deal with complex decisions. Thus, this book is a question-based tool to help practitioners assemble and analyse important available information. Recreation demand is the estimated number of people who are projected to participate in a particular recreation opportunity at some predetermined future time and location. The target audiences for this book include recreation planners, resource managers, park superintendents, refuge managers, river and trail managers, landscape architects, facility and site designers, interpretative planners, economists, budget and policy analysts, community planners and recreation business operators. The issue of recreation demand is not a unique or occasional question facing one agency. Rather, it is an ongoing question challenging all local, State, Federal and private recreation providers. This book encourages an interagency and collaborative perspective to gather and analyse existing information.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Adolescence & Sports
Book SynopsisSports participation by adolescents is considered a rite of passage in Western society. Adolescents participate in sports for many reasons. Most play sports for fun. Other reasons include, personal motivation, enhance fitness, socialisation, economic benefits, status symbol, parental or societal pressures, and media influence. Approximately 40 million children and adolescents participate in organised sports in the United States alone and many more world-wide. Many start at a very young age, as young as three years and specialise in a single sport with intensive participation, spending many hours in practices, games, and travel. In some cases this level of commitment to sports, whether a personal choice or because of societal or parental pressure, can lead to social isolation, burnout, and adverse impact on normal psychosocial development. Sport participation experience can be positive or negative depending up on the motivation, goals, and expectations of the adolescent, his or her parents or other adults in life, and the society at large. Many adolescents quit or are left out of participating in sports. The potential benefits of sport participation by adolescents include improve self-esteem, enhanced personal coping abilities, enhanced social competence, and fostering teamwork and healthy competitiveness. In addition to many psychosocial and developmental benefits of healthy sports participation, it can have life-long positive impact in prevention and control of major diseases that have enormous personal and public health implications. In this book the editors have explored selected topics to exemplify some of the many facets of sport participation by adolescents that have implications for individual and public health.
