Human Kinetics Publishers Functional Strength Training for Physical
Book SynopsisFunctional strength training is one of the most beneficial forms of fitness training, but it is often not included in a secondary physical education curriculum. Lack of equipment or weight rooms can be an issue, and uncertainty about how to teach students correct techniques can be intimidating. Plus, there may be misconceptions about strength training for secondary students, resulting in teachers excluding strength training or placing too much emphasis on machine-based isolation strength training.Functional Strength Training for Physical Education offers an easy-to-implement approach for teachers of all experience levels. It provides secondary physical education teachers an understanding of functional strength training benefits and how to develop a program that will give all students skills for their lifetime, regardless of what activities and occupations they pursue. It also offers coaches and strength and conditioning professionals a wealth of information to develop student-athletes at the middle school and high school levels.Functional Strength Training for Physical Education includes the following: A comprehensive curriculum map to shape the program design, lesson planning, and assessments in the physical education setting Detailed lists of functional strength training skill progressions based on 11 different movement categories, including 83 exercise variations, to meet the needs of all students Step-by-step teaching methods and cues for all skill progressions to be used with or without equipment Facility design guidelines to maximize space and budget in the school or training facility setting Related online materials featuring 25 photo and video demonstrations with detailed exercise descriptions and external skill cues, as well as skill checklists, a sample curriculum map and design template, and templates for sport performance programs. Sample functional warm-ups as well as sample functional strength training plans provide further examples of what to include in a functional strength training program. In addition, all the programs, units, and curricula are guided by the latest SHAPE America national standards for physical education. Author Nate VanKouwenberg, a physical education teacher and the owner of his own strength and conditioning business, provides guidance on how to perform functional skills with proper techniques and how to design quality workouts connected to students’ personal goals. His approach to functional strength training helps students enjoy the fitness methods and apply them to everyday activities outside of the classroom or training facility.Functional Strength Training for Physical Education will help instructors provide secondary-level students the tools they need to build a strong foundation of fitness and wellness that will last for a lifetime.

CABI Managing Artists in the Music Industries An Examination of the Key Role in Music Creator Development
Book SynopsisAt the core of the music industries is the artist. There are thousands of aspiring performers yet only a handful can be truly successful. What propels one artist where others fail? Talent? Originality? Ambition? Or pro-active, well-informed career management?Professional management of the artist's career is critical to their eventual and sustained success, and managers are a pivotal and understudied part of the music industries, central to all the activities within them.In recent years, the role has changed dramatically. AI, online resources and platforms, streaming and social media have opened doors for the self-managing artist as well as the astute professional music manager. In many instances, managers have assumed roles vacated by record companies meaning that their responsibilities have multiplied as potential sources of income have shrunk.This book addresses these issues and others as it supports and guides those wishing to work in artist development or the management of their own career.

CABI History and Future of Plants Planet and People
Book SynopsisThis fascinating book presents the experiences and pooled knowledge of two very different conservation scientists; Pei Shengji from Sichuan, China and Alan Hamilton from London, UK. They have been drawn together over many years through working on some of the same conservation projects and have discovered that they overlap in their ideas about the sorts of work that needs to be done and how it can best be carried out. The book describes some of their own experiences, set within the contexts of their varied careers and the development of their thinking.Plant conservation is crucial to the preservation of natural ecosystems, but conventional approaches have met with only limited success. The authors have concluded that plant conservationists need social allies - elements of society that have other primary concerns, but whose efforts, if successful, will bring benefits to plant conservation too.It is the state and condition of plants on the ground that ultimately matter

CABI Inclusion and Equity in Outdoor Leisure
Book SynopsisDrawing on a variety of perspectives, personal narratives, geographies and approaches, this book challenges dominant discourses of outdoor leisure, associated theoretical approaches and modes of representation regarding the access, inclusion and social justice of minoritised participants. We consider concepts like privilege, power, and empowerment to present a range of outdoor leisure experiences of people with diverse body shapes, races, physical abilities and health conditions, gender and sexual identities, ages, and beyond-human bodies. It offers fresh insights into how leisure in the outdoors can be understood, used, and accessed in ways in which willing participants of all kinds, and especially those who have not traditionally been included, supported and centred, can access the benefits of wellbeing, learning, development and challenges that outdoor leisure participation is revered for. The book covers a range of outdoor conceptualisations that challenge the reader to think deeply and broadly about the common threads which bind the broad field of outdoor leisure together. The range of participant experiences explored in this book encompasses everything from suburban outdoors to wild places, summer camps to scuba diving, dog walking to mindful reflection, and trail walking to electric bikes. The book was designed to transition from the merely academic world to the world of activism, offering thoughtfulness and empowerment in personal and professional decision making related to the field. It should appeal to anyone interested in the outdoors from a variety of perspectives (i.e., students, emerging leaders, long-established leaders seeking innovation, thought-leadership and change makers, policymakers, advocates and activists for inclusion and justice) and for a variety of contexts (i.e., recreation, education, tourism, and adventure).

CABI Biodiversity and Conservation Along an East
Book SynopsisIt is well known that infrastructure development projects can boost the economy and reduce the cost of trade in both developing and developed economies, however, infrastructure projects can also cause biodiversity loss. This book is the result of an important biodiversity survey conducted along an East African railway in Tanzania. The building of the railway, still under construction, has already led to habitat loss, habitat degradation and landscape change which may have affected biodiversity. The book includes recommendations to mitigate the effect of railway construction by protecting biodiversity and ecosystem services which could have major implications across Africa and other regions. The area covered by the survey focuses on the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) running through the Pugu and Ruvu South Forest Reserves towards Maktupora-Dodoma, plus data on large mammals through to Isaka-Shinyanga. The Pugu forests boast high biodiversity of both flora and fauna, som
