Description

Book Synopsis
Section I provides a brief intro­ duction to the terminology and conceptual foundations of the field of move­ ment science; All but two of the re­ maining nine sections share a common format: (l) a designated section editor; Section VI is the largest section, and it con­ sists of nine perspective chapters without commentaries.
