Many sports people are interested in trying yoga techniques in the hope of improved flexibility, strength, breathing and concentration, but many can be prevented from optimal results due to a lack of understanding on the part of yoga teachers of the specific physical requirements of their sport. This is a manual for professionals who work with athletes of all disciplines and shows them how to adapt yoga practice for swimmers, cyclists, runners, tennis players and more.

murderous lunatic lurks within the maze and is luring them to their
deaths. Will any of them make it out alive? In 'The Goatman
Murders' (2011), a group of friends on a road trip to Florida

In this timely book, Alexandra Harrington examines the legal and
policy terms contained in transitional justice mechanisms through
the lenses of intergenerational equity and justice, and the impact
on current and future generations. Based on these findings, she
offers a new definition of transitional justice that focuses on
generational incorporation to ensure a durable, equitable and just
peace. Proposing a more nuanced definition of transitional justice
in the setting of internal armed conflict, chapters address both
the histories and the analyses of different conflicts. Harrington
reviews the core findings and their potential impacts for crafting
transitional justice mechanisms that are inclusive of the needs of
children and youth, current and future generations,
intergenerational equity and intergenerational justice. The book
also focuses on the variety of agreements and instruments adopted
for peace through trend analysis and information gathering. The
Future of Peace will be a valuable resource for legal scholars and
academics interested in conflict and peace studies. Those
interested in human rights law and public international law will
also find this to be a beneficial read.
In this book, professional photographer, Robert Harrington, offers
invaluable advice and expert tips. Jargon-free text explains the
basics of flash, both on- and off-camera, how to utilise direct and
how to take great portraits with a single Speedlight, including use
outdoors. It includes advice on the use of off-camera flash
modifiers, such as softboxes and grids. One of the most over-used,
yet misunderstood pieces of photographic equipment is the flash
unit in its many forms. While a flash unit offers the advantage of
adding light to your images, its biggest disadvantage is the
complex nature of the flash, which prevents many from using it to
its full potential. Professional photographer Robert Harrington
takes the confusion out of the subject of photographic lighting,
and offers invaluable guidance and expert tips that will benefit
all keen photographers.
