A fun introductory guide to yoga anatomy for new and experienced yoga teachers, practitioners, and enthusiasts Knowledge of anatomy is a crucial part of every effective yoga practice, but the subject can be dry and difficult. Yoga Anatomy Made Simple provides a fun solution-it's a go-to guide to functional yoga anatomy, written for yoga practitioners looking to jump in and start applying key concepts to their work. Here, longtime yoga teacher Stuart Girling pairs his expertise with real-life examples and colorful, jaunty illustrations to create a book that serves as an easy-to-understand introduction and refresher course for yogis, teachers, and trainers. Yoga Anatomy Made Simple provides simple explanations of key yoga-anatomy concepts, like patterns, variety, breath, and strength. The illustrations are diverse, inclusive, joyful, and fun-and mirror the author's own accessible, unpretentious approach to practical yoga anatomy. Concepts are demonstrated on different body parts, as well as the following posture groups: * Forward bends * Hip rotations * Backbends * Twists * Postures involving the shoulders * Inversions * Arm balances Girling ties everything together in a holistic framework with a playful touch on every page-one that embraces each student's lifestyle, environment, and life history. Yoga teachers will learn to elevate their ability to analyze yoga postures from a physical perspective, sequence more effectively, avoid unnecessary injury, and appreciate the importance of individuality within postural yoga.

Vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, has a long and multifaceted scientific history. In 1937, the Nobel Prize for Physiology and Medicine was awarded to Albert Szent-Gyorgyi'in recognition of his discoveries concerning the biological oxida tion processes with special reference to vitamin C', and the Nobel Prize for Chemistry was shared by Sir Norman W. Haworth, who was the first to synthesize the vitamin. Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant, and this action represented the theoretical basis for various lines of investigation on this molecule in which the potential role of ascorbic acid in the prevention and treatment of a series of dis eases, whose pathogenesis is linked to an excess of free radicals such as athero sclerosis and cancer, have been examined. These data have been analyzed in detail by experts in biochemistry, epidemi ology, and preventive and clinical medicine in the International Symposium Vitamin C, the state of the art in disease prevention sixty years after the Nobel Prize, held in Monte Carlo from October 31 to November 1, 1997, under the aus pices and the scientific endorsement of the Nutrition Foundation of Italy and with the financial support of Bracco SpA and Merck."

Die Frage nach der Notwendigkeit einer sektorspezifischen Rundfunkkonzentrationskontrolle in Zeiten fortschreitender Digitalisierung und Konvergenz steht im Mittelpunkt dieses Buches. Nach einer Analyse der rundfunkrechtlichen Kriterien zur Beurteilung "vorherrschender Meinungsmacht" erweist sich die Rundfunkkonzentrationskontrolle als ungeeignetes Instrument, "multimediale Meinungsmacht" zu verhindern. Zudem fehlt es der Rundfunkkonzentrationskontrolle an praktischer Relevanz. Die bislang einzige Entscheidung, mit der die Kommission zur Ermittlung der Konzentration im Medienbereich (KEK) eine Beteiligungsanderung aufgrund vorherrschender Meinungsmacht zu verhindern suchte, hob das Bundesverwaltungsgericht auf. Die Autorin kommt zu dem Ergebnis, dass das Kartellrecht - insbesondere die Fusionskontrolle - hinreichenden Schutz vor multimedialer Meinungsmacht bietet.
