Exercise Genomics encompasses the translation of exercise genomics
into preventive medicine by presenting a broad overview of the
rapidly expanding research examining the role of genetics and
genomics within the areas of exercise performance and
health-related physical activity. Leading researchers from a number
of the key exercise genomics research groups around the world have
been brought together to provide updates and analysis on the key
discoveries of the past decade, as well as lend insights and
opinion about the future of exercise genomics, especially within
the contexts of translational and personalized medicine.
Clinicians, researchers and health/fitness professionals will gain
up-to-date background on the key findings and critical unanswered
questions across several areas of exercise genomics, including
performance, body composition, metabolism, and cardiovascular
disease risk factors. Importantly, basic information on genomics,
research methods, and statistics are presented within the context
of exercise science to provide students and professionals with the
foundation from which to fully engage with the more detailed
chapters covering specific traits. Exercise Genomics will be of
great value to health/fitness professionals and graduate students
in kinesiology, public health and sports medicine desiring to learn
more about the translation of exercise genomics into preventive
medicine.

Why would a burglar break into a Washington, DC art gallery and
steal an historic fountain pen worth $2200, but leave behind other
art and cultural objects worth tens of thousands of dollars each?
And why would someone else later commit murder to protect the
burglar's secret? These are some of the questions that confront
Socrates Cheng - an American of Chinese and Greek heritage - in
Steven M. Roth's intricate murder mystery - Mandarin Yellow - as
Socrates investigates the burglary and attempts to recover the pen,
all in an effort to curry favor with his lover's estranged father
who is the leader of a Washington and Shanghai based criminal
Triad. In a search that takes him from Georgetown to Chinatown and
elsewhere in Washington, Socrates finds himself threatened,
physically assaulted, suspected of having committed murder, jailed
for a time, and constantly confronted by conflicts arising out of
his three disparate cultures. Yet he is neither daunted nor
deterred by these obstacles. Instead, Socrates draws upon his deep
knowledge of vintage fountain pens, Chinese history, and the
Mandarin language to puzzle out the complex motives behind the
burglary and murders, until he finally uncovers the identities of
the criminals and makes a discovery that forever changes his life
and the lives of everyone else involved.
