This book describes the structural and functional asymmetries in
human body movement by providing cases and examples using
illustrations and easy-to-understand scenarios. Specifically, it
adopts an evidence-based approach to demonstrate (i) the role of
structural (e.g., bone dimensions) and functional (e.g.,
hemispheric dominance) asymmetries in the human body; (ii) the
asymmetric nature of most daily activities (e.g., gait,
mastication); (iii) the benefits of asymmetry for physical
performance; and (iv) the role of asymmetry in preventing injury.
More than just a scientific book, it bridges the gap between theory
and practice, and includes practical examples and applications. The
book appeals to academics and practitioners in the fields of
kinesiology, human movement, sports sciences, strength and
conditioning, and physiotherapy.
The first three billion years of cosmic time were the prime epoch
of galaxy formation. Characterising galaxies at this epoch is
therefore crucial to achieving a major goal of modern astrophysics:
to understand how galaxies such as our Milky Way emerged from the
primordial density fluctuations in the early Universe and how they
evolved through cosmic time. Recent major international investments
in observing facilities such as the Atacama Large Millimetre Array
(ALMA) and the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) promise to provide
the next leap in our understanding of this topic. This volume
gathers the scientific contributions to the International
Astronomical Union Symposium 352, which was devoted to this topic.
The community of theoretical and observational experts discuss how
we can make the most of ALMA and JWST synergies in advancing our
understanding of galaxy evolution in the young Universe.
