Resources designed to support learners of the new next generation BTEC First in Travel & Tourism specification*. Covers all core and mandatory units and a wide selection of optional units. (Units 1-10 in the Student Book and Units 11-13 on the Pearson website.) Each unit of the Student Book is presented in topics to ensure the content is accessible and engaging for learners. Covers of all the underpinning knowledge and understanding needed at level 2 to ensure that learners are fully prepared for this course. Activities in each unit provide support and clear direction for learners and can be used in the classroom or for independent work. New Assessment Zone guides learners through both internal and external assessment. Practice assignments and assessment guidance help learners to achieve their potential in internally assessed units. We can confirm that Units 11-13 are now available online to everyone who purchases the Student Book. * From 2012, Pearson's BTEC First qualifications have been under re-development, so schools and colleges could be teaching the existing 2010 specification or the new next generation 2012-2013 specification. There are different Student Books to support each specification. If learners are unsure, they should check with their teacher or tutor.

Now in its seventh edition, this reputable textbook is an ideal introduction to the study of human movement and an excellent reference encouraging and directing further study. For the first time there is a chapter dedicated to measuring and understanding physical activity, recognising the importance of this area to many health and sports professionals. More time is spent explaining the basic principles of biomechanics and the way they can be used to improve practice,including tissue mechanics and movement analysis techniques. An Introduction to Human Movement and Biomechanics is the perfect guide for students and professionals all around the world to consolidate learning and apply to real clinical/sports situation. Information is given in a clear and accessible way, with case studies, illustrations, textboxes and practical examples. . A chapter on physical (in)activity. .

Leaders continue to fail at an alarming rate at the highest levels of business, politics, sports, and entertainment. Many of these failures are the result of self-inflicted wounds brought on by a lack of character. Against a rising tide of narcissism and ego, humility has quietly re-emerged as the crucial leadership quality for the twenty-first century knowledge economy. Andrew Kerr, a certified expert on change management and leadership, blends powerful storytelling with the latest research to reveal how humility creates a distinct competitive advantage for individual leaders and their organizations. Learn how to: Proactively increase your personal level of humility Avoid the catastrophic humiliations that can occur when egos go unchecked Develop employees and get the most out of teams Build genuine trust with employees, peers, and business partners...

This transnational, interdisciplinary study argues for the use of comics as a primary source. In recuperating currently unknown or neglected strips the authors demonstrate that these examples, produced during the World Wars, act as an important cultural record, providing, amongst other information, a barometer for contemporary popular thinking.

A graphic account of the World War I campaign fought in the shadow of Kilimanjaro, East Africa. The battles, the men, the conditions and the extraordinary bravery that ultimately led to victory. Excerpts from personal and military diaries with stunning pictures and maps. Written and compiled by Andrew Kerr, a seventh generation military officer and grandson of Alec Kerr, one of the many heroic officers whose testimonies here will ensure these men are never forgotten. This book seeks to explain the 98% casualty levels endured by the Kashmir Rifles and the resilience of those who survived.

An interactive text ideal for all health and sports professional students who require a basic understanding of the major biomechanical principles they meet in practice, including movement analysis and tissue mechanics. Starting from the point of zero-knowledge, this book presents what can be a very dry and difficult area, in an engaging and visual way using everyday objects to illustrate the principles and linking this to human anatomy and movement . Less time is spent on mathematics and classic mechanics with greater emphasis on how these principles are applied to professional practice

"Introductory Biomechanics" uses workbook-style learning diffusing manageable chunks of theory with learning activities and ultimately making the link back to clinical application. The accompanying CD is closely tied in with the text, containing video clips and real motion analysis data of walking, jumping, cycling and rising from a chair. There are also numerous animations of principles in action. The user is in control of most clips and animations and can change settings and manipulate variables practically showing biomechanics in action. The CD also contains a dynamic quiz drawing randomly from a pool of over 70 questions (MCQs, fill-in-the-blanks, true/false) which also provides feedback and percentage score on completion.
