This book describes cutting-edge applications of human factors for sport and outdoor recreation disciplines and provides practical guidance on a range of methods for describing, representing, and evaluating human, team, and system performance in sports domains. Contributions in this book show how various human factors methods, applied historically in the complex safety critical domains, are suited to describing and understanding sports performance and sports injury prevention. The book discusses a wealth of methods for different purposes, such as data collection, task analysis (including cognitive task analysis), workload measurement, assessing situation awareness, performance assessment (including team performance assessment), decision making and cognition in sports, human error identification, and interface evaluation methods. With respect to other publications in human factors and ergonomics, which have been more focused on the biomechanical, physiological, environmental, and equipment-related aspects of sports performance, this book gives a special emphasis to research on analysis of individual and team sports, cognitive and social human factors, and covers both sports and outdoor recreation disciplines. Based on the AHFE 2016 International Conference on Human Factors in Sports and Outdoor Recreation, held on July 27-31, 2016, in Walt Disney World (R), Florida, USA, this book provides readers with a timely survey of new methods that can be implemented during any sport or outdoor recreation event for analyzing and improving the performance and safety of both individuals and teams.

The provocative and often comic Belgian art duo Jos de Gruyter and Harald Thys present in book form their collaborative contribution to the 2019 Venice Biennale The Belgian artists Jos de Gruyter (b. 1965) and Harald Thys (b. 1966) have collaborated for more than two decades on artworks in a variety of media, including film, photography, drawing, painting, and sculpture; they are known for thought-provoking works, often imbued with an antic sense of humor. The pair was selected to represent Belgium at the 2019 Venice Biennale, and this book accompanies and documents their exhibit, also titled Mondo Cane. The book is composed of a series of original, illustrated texts, written alternately in English, French, German, Dutch, and Italian. The texts are intended to evoke a variety of human conditions in an environment reminiscent of present-day Europe. Its title refers to a 1962 Italian film that documented-in a style intended to provoke Western audiences-cultural practices from around the world. Lavishly illustrated and designed by the artists themselves, this book both reflects de Gruyter and Thys's contribution to the Venice Biennale and is a work of art in its own right. Distributed for Mercatorfonds Exhibition Schedule: Belgian Pavilion of the 58th Venice Biennale (May 8-November 24, 2019) Centre for Fine Arts, Brussels (Spring 2020)

Das Buch ist eine ethnographische Studie uber die Entstehung rechtsorientierter Jugendcliquen. Es beschreibt die subjektiven, kollektiven und gesellschaftlichen Mechanismen, die "normale" Jugendliche zu fremdenfeindlichen und gewaltbereiten Tatern macht.

Many agricultural entrepreneurs are confronted by the continuing spread of urbanisation on the one hand and the growing needs of consumers for sustainably produced, high-quality food on the other. How best can the agricultural entrepreneur respond to this - and turn these threats into an opportunity? The book 'Sustainable Agricultural Entrepreneurship' sets out the experiences of successful agricultural entrepreneurs who have turned the process of urbanisation and the changing needs of the consumer primarily into an opportunity.

Reagissant au scientisme de son epoque, Bergson rend a la philosophie son identite propre en montrant qu'une grande part de la realite echappe a l'intelligence et n'est accessible qu'a l'intuition. L'intelligence est une faculte pragmatique qui s'adapte a la matiere: sa connaissance ne va pas au-dela. Seule l'intuition peut comprendre ce qu'est l'esprit, saisir dans leur tension les diverses tendances qui constituent l'essence meme de la vie, et penser la duree comme une force creatrice. On comprend aisement que, des son premier ouvrage, Bergson ait considere la liberte comme le coeur meme de sa philosophie.
