The world-class National Palace Museum (NPM) in Taiwan possesses a
repository of the largest collection of Chinese cultural treasures
of outstanding quality. Through implementing a two-organizational
restructuring, and shifting its operational focus from being
object-oriented to public-centered, it aims to capture the
attention of people and promote awareness of the culture and
traditions of China. In this vein, the NPM combines its expertise
in museum service with the possibilities afforded by Information
Technology (IT). This book analyses the research results of a team
sponsored by the National Science Council in Taiwan to observe the
development processes and accomplishments, and to conduct
scientific researches covering not only the technology and
management disciplines, but also the humanities and social science
disciplines. The development process of new digital content and
IT-enabled services of NPM would be a useful benchmark for museums,
cultural and creative organizations and traditional organizations
in Taiwan and around the world.
Are you a triathlete, runner, cyclist, swimmer, cross-country
skier, or other athlete seeking greater endurance? The Endurance
Handbook teaches athletes how to stay healthy, achieve optimal
athletic potential, and be injury-free for many productive years.
Dr. Philip Maffetone's approach to endurance offers a truly
"individualized" outlook and unique system that he has refined over
three decades of training and treating athletes, ranging from world
champions to weekend warriors. Maffetone's training and racing
philosophy emphasizes building a strong aerobic base for increased
fat burning, weight loss, sustained energy, and a healthy immune
system. Good nutrition and stress reduction are also key to this
common-sense, big-picture approach. Dr. Maffetone also dispels many
of the commonly held myths that linger in participatory sports and
which adversely impact performance and explains the "truths" about
endurance, such as: The need to train slower to race faster will
enable your aerobic system to improve endurance Why expensive
running shoes can actually cause foot and leg injuries The fact
that refined carbohydrates actually reduce endurance energy and
disrupt hormone balance How overtraining can be avoided in its
earliest stages And much more! If you are looking to increase your
endurance and maximize your athletic potential, The Endurance
Handbook is your one-stop guide to training and racing effectively.
