Wellness Company has brought together the brightest minds and
bravest hearts in seven unique stories of courage, synchronicity,
and hope. The Next Wave Is Brave illustrates to the reader the
precise journey forward with tangible direction from the authors in
the spirit of gratitude for the opportunity of our lifetime.
Together, we can restore medical freedom. This book is our
blueprint.
Status, age and gender have long been accepted aspects of archaeological enquiry. Yet it is only recently that archaeologists have started seriously to consider the role of sex and sexuality in their studies. Archaeologies of Sexuality is therefore a timely and pioneering work. It presents a strong, diverse body of scholarship which draws on locations as varied as medieval England, the ancient Maya kingdoms, New Kingdom Egypt, prehistoric Europe, and convict-era Australia, demonstrating the challenges and rewards of integrating the study of sex and sexuality within archaeology. This volume, with contributions by many leading archaeologists, will serve both as an essential introduction and a valuable reference tool for students and academics.
This collection features four peer-reviewed literature reviews on
mite pests in agriculture. The first chapter offers a holistic
approach to integrated mite management by reviewing the basics of
mite taxonomy and morphology. It studies the key plant mite
families, focussing on major plant feeding mites (Tetranychidae,
Tarsonemidae, Eriophyoidea), as well as the natural predators that
regulate these mite populations. The second chapter explores the
cultural, biological and chemical control tactics available for
controlling major plant feeding mites. These tactics include:
choosing tolerant varieties and weed management. The chapter
concludes with a discussion on the debate surrounding the best form
of control for mite pests in agriculture. The third chapter
highlights the importance of understanding the bio-ecology of
Tetranychidae species affecting tomato crops, including the
two-spotted spider mite, carmine spider mite and red spider mite.
The chapter considers the effects of each pest on tomato plants, as
well as how best to control them. The final chapter details the
ecology of mite pests affecting wheat that belong to the
Eriophyoidea family, such as gall mites and wheat curl mites. The
chapter discusses the various forms of control for managing
Eriophyid mites, as well as the development of new resistant
varieties of wheat.
In the first book-length study explicitly to connect the
postcolonial trope of hybridity to Renaissance literature, Gary
Schmidt examines how sixteenth- and seventeenth-century English
authors, artists, explorers and statesmen exercised a concerted
effort to frame questions of cultural and artistic heterogeneity.
This book is unique in its exploration of how 'hybrid' literary
genres emerge at particular historical moments as vehicles for
negotiating other kinds of hybridity, including but not limited to
cultural and political hybridity. In particular, Schmidt addresses
three distinct manifestations of 'hybridity' in English literature
and iconography during this period. The first category comprises
literal hybrid creatures such as satyrs, centaurs, giants, and
changelings; the second is cultural hybrids reflecting the mixed
status of the nation; and the third is generic hybrids such as the
Shakespearean 'problem play,' the volatile verse satires of Nashe,
Hall and Marston, and the tragicomedies of Beaumont and Fletcher.
In Renaissance Hybrids, Schmidt demonstrates 'postmodern'
considerations not to be unique to our own critical milieu. Rather,
they can fruitfully elucidate cultural and literary developments in
the English Renaissance, forging a valuable link in the history of
ideas and practices, and revealing a new dimension in the relation
of early modern studies to the concerns of the present.

This book examines the adaptive aspects of shyness. It addresses
shyness as a ubiquitous phenomenon that reflects a preoccupation of
the self in response to social interaction, resulting in social
inhibition, social anxiety, and social withdrawal. The volume
reviews the ways in which shyness has traditionally been
conceptualized and describes the movement away from considering it
as a disorder in need of treatment. In addition, it examines the
often overlooked history and current evidence across evolution,
animal species, and human culture, demonstrating the adaptive
aspects of shyness from six perspectives: developmental,
biological, social, cultural, comparative, and evolutionary. Topics
featured in this book include: The study of behavioral inhibition
and shyness across four academic generations. The development of
adaptive subtypes of shyness. Shy children's adaptation to academic
challenges. Adaptiveness of introverts in the workplace. The role
of cultural norms and values in shaping shyness. Perspectives of
shyness as adaptive from Indigenous Peoples of North America. The
role that personality differences play on ecology and evolution.
Adaptive Shyness is a must-have resource for researchers and
professors, clinicians and related professionals as well as
graduate students in developmental psychology, pediatrics, and
social work as well as related disciplines, including
social/personality, evolutionary, biological, and clinical child
psychology, anthropology, sociology, and cultural studies.
Using interviews gathered from program directors across the country

Combined with current research and best practices you will find
realistic real-time solutions to address the most common struggles
faced by program administrators today.
Motor Learning and Performance: From Principles to Application,
Sixth Edition With Web Study Guide, enables students to appreciate
high-level skilled activity and understand how such incredible
performances occur. Written in a style that is accessible even to
students with little or no knowledge of physiology, psychology,
statistical methods, or other basic sciences, this text constructs
a conceptual model of factors that influence motor performance,
outlines how motor skills are acquired and retained with practice,
and shows students how to apply the concepts to a variety of
real-world settings. The sixth edition of Motor Learning and
Performance has been carefully revised to incorporate the most
important research findings in the field, and it is supplemented
with practice situations to facilitate a stronger link between
research-based principles and practical applications. Other
highlights include the following: A web study guide offers updated
principles-to-application exercises and additional interactive
activities for each chapter, ensuring that students will be able to
transfer core content from the book to various applied settings.
Extensive updates and new material related to the performance of
complex movements expand the theoretical focus to a more in-depth
analysis of dynamical systems and the constraints-led approach to
learning. Narratives from Motor Control in Everyday Actions that
appear in the web study guide tie each book chapter to concrete
examples of how motor behavior is applicable to real life. Photo
caption activities pose questions to students to encourage critical
thinking, and answers to those questions are provided to
instructors in the instructor guide. As the text investigates the
principles of human performance, pedagogical aids such as learning
objectives, key terms, and Check Your Understanding questions help
students stay on track with learning in each chapter. Focus on
Research and Focus on Application sidebars deliver more detailed
research information and make connections to real-world
applications in areas such as teaching, coaching, and therapy. The
sixth edition of Motor Learning and Performance: From Principles to
Application goes beyond simply presenting research—it challenges
students to grasp the fundamental concepts of motor performance and
learning and then go a step further by applying the concepts.
Incorporating familiar scenarios brings the material to life for
students, leading to better retention and greater interest in
practical application of motor performance and learning in their
everyday lives and future careers.

Making extensive use of untranslated texts, "Byron and the
Rhetoric of Italian Nationalism" analyzes the incorporation of
Byron's life and works into Italian political discourse during the
"risorgimento," unification, and the two world wars. Italian
authors appreciated his celebration of liberty and nationalism so
much that between 1818 and 1948, they referred to Byron more than
to any other non-Italian poet. Arnold Anthony Schmidt explores the
intellectual milieu of Byron's Italian years, his participation in
Grand Tour and salon culture, his influence on Italian Classicists
and Romantics, and his importance in constructing Italy's national
identity.

Amerika wandelte sich im Laufe des 19. Jahrhunderts in der
europaischen Wahrnehmung von der vorzivilisatorischen Utopie zu
einem Zukunftsmodell, in dem wie in einem Brennspiegel alle Chancen
und Gefahren der burgerlichen Gesellschaft aufschienen. Hauptakteur
dieses Diskurses uber Modernisierungshoffnungen und -angste
innerhalb der europaischen Gesellschaften war das Burgertum in all
seinen bildungs- und besitzburgerlichen Auspragungen vom Pfarrer
bis zum Unternehmer, was fur Deutschland ebenso wie fur Frankreich,
England oder Italien gilt.
Anhand verschiedenster Themenfelder des Diskurses wie soziale
Gleichheit und Mobilitat, Wirtschaft und Staat, Familenformen und
Geschlechterbeziehungen, Mentalitaten und Bildungsstrukturen sowie
Stadtebau und Wohnen wird gezeigt, wie das deutsche Burgertum
mental auf die Herausforderung der amerikanischen Gesellschaft
reagierte. Im Vergleich mit den Reaktionen des britischen und
franzosischen Burgertums zeigen sich dabei erstaunliche Parallelen,
die entgegen der "Sonderwegsthese" eine Fulle von kulturellen
Gemeinsamkeiten des europaischen Burgertums zum Vorschein bringen?
Gemeinsamkeiten, denen sich die Europaer trotz aller
nationalistischen Exzesse gerade in der Konfrontation mit den USA
teilweise durchaus bewut wurden. Trotz der Faszination durch viele
Modernisierungselemente erschien dem europaischen Burgertum die
Dynamik der burgerlichen Gesellschaft in den USA insgesamt zu
radikal und ungebremst, zu egalitar und revolutionar, so da vor
1914 die Herausforderung des "Modells Amerika" noch einmal
relativiert werden konnte - was sich nach 1918 andern sollte, auch
wenn die Elemente des Diskurses im Kern die gleichen blieben.

This is the latest in a series of proceedings of conferences on the
Mathematical Foundations of Programming Semantics. The purpose of
the series is to bring together mathematicians and theoretical
computer scientists who share the common interests of working on
problems related to programming language semantics. The purpose of
the book is to bring into print as quickly as possible papers which
reflect the state of research on the topics comprising this area.
The intended audience for the book consists of those researchers
and graduate students with an interest in the research areas which
are related to those presented in the book: programming language
semantics, including algebraic, denotational and operational
semantics, logics of programs, specification techniques, etc., and
the relevant areas of mathematics research, including category
theory, domain theory, ordered structures and lattice theory, and
metric space methods. The papers included in the book represent the
latest results in various facets of this rather broad research
area, and this is the first time some of the ideas contained in
these works are appearing in print.
Digital data collection and surveillance gets more pervasive and
invasive by the day; but the best ways to protect yourself and your
data are all steps you can take yourself. The devices we use to get
just-in-time coupons, directions when we're lost, and maintain
connections with loved ones no matter how far away they are, also
invade our privacy in ways we might not even be aware of. Our
devices send and collect data about us whenever we use them, but
that data is not safeguarded the way we assume it would be. Privacy
is complex and personal. Many of us do not know the full extent to
which data is collected, stored, aggregated, and used. As recent
revelations indicate, we are subject to a level of data collection
and surveillance never before imaginable. While some of these
methods may, in fact, protect us and provide us with information
and services we deem to be helpful and desired, others can turn out
to be insidious and over-arching. Privacy in the Age of Big Data
highlights the many positive outcomes of digital surveillance and
data collection while also outlining those forms of data collection
to which we may not consent, and of which we are likely unaware.
Payton and Claypoole skillfully introduce readers to the many ways
we are 'watched,' and how to adjust our behaviors and activities to
recapture our privacy. The authors suggest the tools, behavior
changes, and political actions we can take to regain data and
identity security. Anyone who uses digital devices will want to
read this book for its clear and no-nonsense approach to the world
of big data and what it means for all of us.

Motor Control and Learning, Sixth Edition With Web Resource,
focuses on observable movement behavior, the many factors that
influence quality of movement, and how movement skills are
acquired. The text examines the motivational, cognitive,
biomechanical, and neurological processes of complex motor
behaviors that allow human movement to progress from unrefined and
clumsy to masterfully smooth and agile. This updated sixth edition
builds upon the foundational work of Richard Schmidt and Timothy
Lee in previous editions. The three new authors-each a
distinguished scholar-offer a range and depth of knowledge that
includes current directions in the field. The extensively revised
content reflects the latest research and new directions in motor
control and learning. Additional new features of the sixth edition
include the following: * A web resource that includes narratives
and learning activities from Motor Control in Everyday Actions that
correspond with the chapters in the book, giving students
additional opportunities to analyze how research in motor learning
and control can be expanded and applied in everyday settings * An
instructor guide that offers sample answers for the learning
experiences found in the student web resource * New content on
sleep and movement memory, the role of vision, illusions and
reaching, the OPTIMAL theory of motor learning, the neuroscience of
learning, and more Motor Control and Learning begins with a brief
introduction to the field and an introduction to important concepts
and research methods. Part II thoroughly covers motor control with
topics such as closed-loop perspective, the role of the central
nervous system for movement control, speed and accuracy, and
coordination. Part III deals with motor learning, exploring the
effects of attentional focus, the structure of practice sessions,
the role of feedback, theoretical views of motor learning, and the
retention and transfer of skills. Throughout the book, art and
practical examples are included to elucidate complex topics.
Sidebars with historical examples, classic research, and examples
of real-world applications highlight the importance of motor
control and learning research and bring attention to influential
research studies and pioneers. End-of-chapter summaries and student
assignments reinforce important concepts and terms and provide
review opportunities. For instructors, an image bank complements
the new instructor guide; it is available to course adopters at
www.HumanKinetics.com/MotorControlAndLearning. The updated
research, new features, and highly respected authors of Motor
Control and Learning, Sixth Edition With Web Study Guide, provide a
solid foundation for both students and practitioners who study and
work in fields that encompass movement behavior.
This book contains the proceedings of the 26th International
Conference on Automated Reasoning with Analytics Tableaux and
Related Methods, TABLEAUX 2017, held in Brasilia, Bazil, in
September 2017. The 19 contributed papers presented in this volume
were carefully reviewed and selected from 27 submissions.They are
organized in topical sections named: Sequent systems; tableaux;
transitive closure and cyclic proofs; formalization and complexity.
Also included are papers of three invited speakers.
