Children and Exercise XXVII presents the latest scientific
research into paediatric sport and exercise science and medicine
including contributions from a wide range of leading international
experts and early career researchers. The book begins with chapters
devoted to the 5 invited keynote lectures followed by forty-two of
the peer-reviewed presentations which are arranged into five
thematic sections addressing:
- Exercise physiology
- Physical activity and health
- Exercise and medicine
- Testing and performance
- Young athlete and sports participation.
The forty-seven chapters offer a review of current topics and
ongoing research in paediatric sport and exercise science and
medicine. The book is therefore a key text for all researchers,
lecturers, paediatricians, health professionals and students with
an interest in the exercising child in health and disease.
This new handbook is about the practices of conducting research on
military issues. As an edited collection, it brings together an
extensive group of authors from a range of disciplinary
perspectives whose chapters engage with the conceptual, practical
and political questions raised when doing military research. The
book considers a wide range of questions around research about, on
and with military organisations, personnel and activities, from
diverse starting-points across the social sciences, arts and
humanities. Each chapter in this volume: Describes the nature of
the military research topic under scrutiny and explains what
research practices were undertaken and why. Discusses the author's
research activities, addressing the nature of their engagement with
their subjects and explaining how the method or approach under
scrutiny was distinctive because of the military context or subject
of the research. Reflects on the author's research experiences, and
the specific, often unique, negotiations with the politics and
practices of military institutions and military personnel before,
during and after their research fieldwork. The book provides a
focussed overview of methodological approaches to critical studies
of military personnel and institutions, and processes and practices
of militarisation and militarism. In particular, it engages with
the growth in qualitative approaches to military research,
particularly research carried out on military topics outside
military research institutions. The handbook provides the reader
with a comprehensive guide to how critical military research is
being undertaken by social scientists and humanities scholars
today, and sets out suggestions for future approaches to military
research. This book will be of much interest to students of
military studies, war and conflict studies, and research methods in
general.

This series of commentaries on the New English Bible is designed
for use in schools and colleges, and for the minister and the
layman. Each volume comments on one book, or part, of the Bible. In
each the text is given in full. Sections of text and commentary
alternate, so that the reader does not have to keep two books open,
or turn from one part of the book to the other, or refer to a
commentary in small type at the foot of the page. Great care has
been taken to see that the commentary is suitable for the student
and the layman: there is no Greek or Hebrew, and no strings of
biblical references. The general editors all have experience of
teaching or examining in school and working with adults.
Commentaries on all the books of the Old Testament, New Testament
and Apocrypha have been published, together with introductory
volumes and books of illustrations to accompany each Testament.
Helen Maria Williams was a poet, novelist, and radical thinker
deeply immersed in the political struggles of the 1790s. Her
Letters Written in France is the first and most important of eight
volumes chronicling the French Revolution to an England fearful of
another civil war. Her twenty-six letters recounting old regime
tyranny and revolutionary events provide both an apology for the
Revolution and a representation of it as sublime spectacle.
This is a new release of the original 1954 edition.

On October 1, 2017, Las Vegas, Nevada suffered the worst mass
shooting in modern American history, resulting in 58 deaths and
over 500 injured. It broke my heart. Las Vegas is my home. I felt
like something needed to be done to help in a unique way." - JH
WILLIAMS III, Artist & Curating Editor This "unique way" was
the genesis of the WHERE WE LIVE anthology-a riveting collection of
both fictional stories and actual eye-witness accounts told by an
all-star line-up of the top talent working in comics today. All the
creators have graciously volunteered their time and talent to help
bring some sense to this senseless act and, in the process, raise
money for the survivors and their families. The book will include a
variety of perspectives with key themes exploring gun violence,
common sense gun control, value of a compassionate society, mental
health stigmatization, aftermath of tragedy and how individuals
& communities persevere and an appreciation of Las Vegas as a
vibrant community. 100% of the proceeds for the WHERE WE LIVE
anthology will be donated to Route 91 Strong, a non-profit
organization.
